We often feel the pressure to appear strong, to hold ourselves together even when everything inside feels like it’s breaking. This strength is not just a mental or emotional state, it’s something we physically carry, often in the tightness of our abdomen. In yoga and many healing traditions, the belly is seen as the place where unspoken emotions go to hide. When we suppress feelings like grief, resentment, sadness, or fear, our bodies respond in ways that can affect our health deeply. Understanding this connection helps us listen to our bodies and find a path toward healing and wholeness.
