I have been struggling with this for about a year, and I don’t know what else to do. I have a persistent sensation on the right side of my hip/glute area. It feels like there is a deep knot inside. Sometimes it also feels like tiny needles or tingling in that exact spot. Throughout the day, I often unconsciously breathe out with a long “pfff”, as if my body is trying to release something. Someone suggested it might be related to liver qi (chi), but I don’t know if that is true. The knot sometimes becomes lighter or less tense, but it never completely goes away. It has been present almost every day for the past year. Whenever I take a deep breath in, I often hear clicking or popping in my ears, similar to the pressure changes you experience while diving, driving up a mountain, or during a flight. I have already tried: - Craniosacral therapy. - Reiki. - Medical examinations, including an ultrasound. My doctor couldn’t find anything abnormal. - A 36-day “Feel Safe” meditation program. - Breathing exercises, including box breathing (4-4-4-4), 4-6-8 breathing, 6-6 breathing, and breathing techniques using long “beeee” and “woooo” sounds. None of these approaches has made the knot disappear. At times it feels slightly better, but it always comes back. I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced something similar or has expertise in this area. I feel like I’ve tried so many things, and I’m still searching for answers. Please help me.

I spent over three decades in high-pressure work before I understood what nervous system regulation actually meant. I wish I’d had something like this back then. My ignorance cost me my health - physically and mentally. It resulted in creating strain on my relationships. It lead me to total burnout and PTSD about work pressure and looming deadlines. If I had had access to a programme like this 5 years ago, I could have (probably) avoided my autoimmune disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and I could have worked on rebuilding my relationship with my sons and my husband a lot earlier. I’m glad you’re here now. Making the decision to start this programme is your first step in the right direction. Don't be me - do the work, prioritise you. You won't regret it.
