Have you ever wondered why back bending is a challenge for most practitioners? Perhaps including yourself.
Have you ever thought about where our emotional body resides within? If not, give yourself a moment to feel into it. Take a few deep breaths, sit with yourself, and scan.
Did you feel it within your head, chest, gut, or a chill up your spine? And if not that’s okay.
Back bending is a journey. A journey into the center of yourself. The emotional body is located along the spinal axis.
While stretching and creating space within the front body, you are simultaneously strengthening the back body. You wonder how this relates to your emotional body?
As I see it, we are creating space to feel into and through the emotions that exist. Emotions of love, desires, fears, or trauma. To reinforce a better understanding of the energy we’re holding onto and if we’re ready to release and overcome. Having a strong back body supports this. It’s the strength within that aids a calm, equanimous, and nonjudgmental mind. Therefore, we can feel into the experience without identifying.
