Ep. 7 How Your Emotions Impact Your Pelvis

Have you ever considered that your period (and even things like peeing, pooping, pelvic tension, or numbness) could all be impacted by your thoughts, emotions, and nervous system state?!? In this episode, I share about the deep connection between the pelvis and the nervous system, and why healing often requires more than just “fixing” the body physically. This is why a collaborative, whole-person approach matters. If you’ve been struggling with pelvic symptoms and feel like there’s “more to the story,” this episode is here to help clarify that! If you have any questions or want support in your journey, you can connect with me here: Private Sessions (virtual or in person) Book: www.pelvicempowermentmvmt.com Treatment in Clinic Inquire by email at drliliana@allspaceissacred.com Some helpful timestamps: 1:41 Your Pelvic Organs are Connected to Your Nervous System/Emotions (prompt 1) 7:38 Safety in the Body and Pelvic Pain 11:29 Team Approach 12:45 Dissociation and Pelvic Numbness 16:13 Homeostasis and Resistance (prompt 2) 19:00 Storylines (prompt 3) 21:26 Chakras27:25 Conclusion Journal Prompts: 1) Does my pelvic function change during periods of stress or strong emotions? 2a) What is my emotional states day to day? What percent of my day is spent in stress vs pleasure? 2b) When it comes to my wellness/healing/lifestyle, do I tend to force change or stay compassionate and observant? 3) What narratives or storylines about my body, and specifically my pelvis, were projected onto me? Do I believe this now? Does my body operate from a place that believes this? Comment your reflections below! So happy you’re here :)

Your Pelvis is Physical, Emotional, AND Energetic

In this episode I share how the pelvis is soooo much more than just an irregularly shaped object in the middle of your body. Your pelvis influences and is influenced by your physical, emotional, and energetic state. When starting your pelvic healing journey it is so important to acknowledge and incorporate all these aspects of healing into your plan of care. The mission of The Pelvic Empowerment Movement is to equip you to not only know about these parts of you, but to be able to love, listen to and tend to these parts of you as well. Revering the Pelvis as physical, emotional, AND energetic is the foundation of all our work. Stick around for more episodes that go deep into each aspect; but for now, this quick overview is meant to boost your awareness and sparks some inspiration! Does anything change for you when looking at your pelvis in this light?? 4:16 Physical Pelvis 8:16 Emotional Pelvis 13:22 Energetic Pelvis 19:00 Tying it all together 25:15 Conclusion To learn more or book your Pelvic Empowerment Coaching Session visit our website: www.pelvicempowermentmvmt.com

What is ~Empowerment~ in The Context of The Pelvis?

Empowerment is a hot topic right now. So I wanted to start this show off with a clear picture of what Pelvic Empowerment is and how it has the capacity to change your life. I know that sounds like a tall order to fill! But the pelvis truly does influence so much of our lives. This episode begins to highlight all the ways the pelvis is central to our experience and how the current societal narrative often keeps us from experiencing the fullness of our power. Tune in to hear about the pelvis's role in rites of passage, the unique type of empowerment that comes form the pelvis, and how shame often blocks that power. If the message resonates with you, you can explore more about The Pelvic Empowerment Movement here!
