Psychostructural+Pericardium+Meridian

Pericardium eneries serve as the interface between the communicating ego of a person and the communication ego of others." Hammer "A related aspect of Pericardium energies is the unification of spirit love (Heart) and genital love (Liver-Kidneys) through the free and open passage of the middle Qiao (nurturing and the Spleen) to produce adult sexuality" "Yin, serving defensively, and Yang serving aggressively, participate equally i this work" (Dragon Rises)

Gluteus Muscles
"A chronic contraction of the large muscles of the buttocks consumes a lot of energy. They are highly charged and often relatively light pressure (particularly on the inside of the thighs) evokes strong emotional responses. On other occasion, the surface area over these muscle groups appears to be soft and flabby, belying the underlying pressure. With deep pressure, they are found to be still more more tense and tender. In this case massage in depth will allow these held charges tp release. Often the released emotions are quite intense, frequently being those of rage and anger... When chronically contracted, they effectively immobilize the pelvis, again reducing the organism's ability for sexual release." (The Body Reveals)

a weakness in the gluteus muscles will result in ineffective holding of the pelvic girdle cause it to retract

"When tucked under, tight buttocks allow for only a dribbling out of emotion and feeling. The individual is unable to allow the pelvis to swing back and gather strength for the forward thrust associated with full emotional discharge. Emotions can at best be squeezed out.

One in which the pelvis is retracted, or held back. The individual is unable to release. A great charge has been gathered in the pelvic region but is unable to swing forward. We may use the analogy of a gun cocked, and ready to fire... these individuals may be viewed as afraid to let things go, since the high charge they are carrying may be sensed as explosive. This anxiety is often associated with the question "What will happen if I let go?" When such an individual is asked to describe what might happen, the reply is often "I don't really know" The sense is one of an unknown force. Further examination often reveals fears of sexual promiscuity or violence toward others. In general a tight, contracted, small pelvis is associated with either immaturity and a lack of development and feelings of sexuality and instinctual drive [po], or of a strong containment of these instinctual feelings. At the other extreme (particularly in women) we find the pelvis to be excessively wide. Here the sacral bone is pushed forward, spreading the pelvis. Women possessing this structure, in our experience tend to be matronly, in a sense, hyperfemale, with a great deal of great warmth. For them the pelvis is a repository of tenderness and nourishment. Associated with the increased width of the pelvis, are piled up, soft, pasty hips, buttocks, and thighs. We conceive of this flabbiness as an exaggeration of the passive-receptive position and have many women who indeed fill this image. They are almost archetypal figures... Others while possessing this fundamental trait, struggle with this passivity and attempt to overcome their flabbiness with action, whereby a nice harmony between receptivity nd action results. In others, such attempts most often end in feelings of hurt and frustration." (The Body Reveals)

Trigger Points:
These are often found near the insertions into the greater trochanter (~GB-30) BL-53, BL-54, BL-31, BL-32, BL-33, BL-34(Seem)

Adductors
"When we have the hig peak (gothic arch), the tensio is present at the center point (in the area known as the perineum). It is here that the holding exists. The organs involved in this area are the genitals, anus, and rectum, with the greatest tightening imeiately in front of the anus. With spasm and eergy blocking here, the sexual function is prevented from finding full expression. In the last two subjects, the tenion in the thigs draws the thigs inward, squeezing the genitals. Here again the genital expression is limited. The normal situation allows the area of the anus and genitals full flo, the thighs not being to close or sprung apart. The experience in the two situations is quite different. In one, the thighs are actually squeezed together protectively. (This is normally not a conscious act, but an ongoing, unconscious statement.) In the other, the inner thigh muscles are shortened and sucked into the center point. (The Body Reveals)

Trigger Points:
These are often developed near the insertion into the pubis LV-10, SP-11 (Seem)
