We unintentionally hold tension in our bodies for a few reasons… For the most part, protecting and guarding happens around the delicate parts that we want to keep safe or away from harm. Think about your heart, lungs, and sexual and reproductive organs; often, this will be apparent in your shoulders and hips (surrounding areas) causing tightness or stiffness.

Creating tension in our body is something we unintentionally, or unconsciously do all the time.
