Emotions that are not released get stored as tension in the body. Most of this is muscle tension. When you do yoga, especially postures, those muscle tensions are stretched out and physically released.

The mind is associative. When events lead to stored emotions, the mind remembers the association even if the conscious is unaware of it. When those tensions are released, that association can bring back the memories of the original event(s) that caused the tension. Particularly intense releases can cause one to relive the original event(s).

Note that if the intense emotions are not dealt with, a future event similar to the original (even if to a third party) can bring back those emotions (via association). As such, the tension returns also.

Yes, muscle tightness means blocked energy in that area. Try meditating on it. See if you can feel out the root, where the tightness extends from. Then work on releasing that.

thanks for the replies.

I dont know if this was my intuition or some other aspect however I was feeling/seeing " hamstring" for sometime now, my right hamstring. Does anyone know what kind of emotions are stored in a hamstring?

I know it is related to the root chakra.

I guess that freestyle jumping thing makes sense now.

There are apparently seven lower chakras under the root leading down to the feet that govern lower emotions and animal instincts. I don't know how accurate this is but worth looking into anyway and doing some self-inquiry:

Quote:
Just as there are said to be seven upper chakras, in the same way there are said to be seven lower chakras namely –
Patala in the soles of the feet,
Mahatala in the feet,
Rasatala in the ankles,
Talatala in the calves,
Sutala in the knees,
Vitala in the thighs
and the one immediately below Muladhara –
Atala in the hips.

Atala in the hips governs the state of fear from life in general to death itself. Lust and promiscuity become established when this chakra is strong.

Vitala is the chakra of anger and resentment, blaming others and world for what happens in their own life.

Sutala highlights jealousy in our nature; jealousy brought on by feelings of inadequacy and inferiority.

Talatala the chakra of confusion, wilfulness, greed and deceit.

Rasatala really focuses on our animal nature. It may be a strong survival chakra but at the expense of the suffering of others if need be. Jealousy, anger and fear are all strong at this level of our being.

Mahatala is that aspect of our nature where conscience towards others is lost. Theft is commonplace and holds no moral value here.

Patala the lowest chakra of all in the soles of the feet. Destructiveness, revenge, murder, hatred, torture and wanton disrespect at all levels show this chakra to be active and dominating our finer human nature.

I'm very tight in my trapezius. What emotions are stored there? Are there poses to release this?

That right side...is it Louise Hay?
Or
someone else says the right is trouble receiving.
The left....trouble releasing or letting things go...if that resonates.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

What's the opinion about Bikram yoga for tight muscles and energetic blocks?

Hamstring....my thing is anything that stops you from going forward...
well, the rest is obvious.

I have had ankle sprains, knee pains, hip issues in my life....
think I have some hesitation about moving forward?
Naw...

Do you feel the weight of the world on you?
Do you have a lot of responsibilities?
These things are really pretty easy to figure out...stub your toe much?
Hit your thumb with a hammer much....need to be more conscious.

Liver/gallbladder issues? Got some pent up unexpressed anger?

It's like following the dots.

More conscious...be present. OK

Any physical poses? Or exercise? Roll the muscle?
