Have you ever considered the invisible reasons for your body aches?

Whether you had physical trauma or emotional trauma we all have a degree of traumatic experiences in our life from which emotions flow and these influence our health. 

We are all traumatized in our childhood,  even the birth experience is a source of trauma for all individuals. The difference between one person and another is the degree of trauma we have experienced and how we manage it.

Most of the current physical pain you have comes from the accumulation of unprocessed emotional responses. Often from feeling unsafe in childhood experiences. You may say, “I had a great childhood” but it does not mean you did not experience sadness, or frustration or were disappointed by your parents. Trauma does not have to be a major catastrophe. Trauma is how we react to an event, regardless of the level of pain. 

The neck represents the connection of the brain and the body. It is representative of the individual’s flexibility to accept change, move in different directions, accept other perspectives, and adapt to the mind (how open-minded you are).

A sore or stiff neck may represent a need for expression. The neck is the connection of the mind and the body. It is the channel used to communicate ideas through your mouth.  You feel uncomfortable expressing yourself as you grew up with parents who did not listen to your ideas or made fun of your original thoughts. Feelings of insecurity and fear begin here. You may then as an adult partner with someone who is also controlling and does not listen to you. You are afraid to make a mistake and be made fun of. 

The stiff neck is also the lack of flexibility to see the other side of the coin. When you find your voice, you don’t want to give away the power. This limits you as you want to see things from your standpoint. 

Regardless of the part played, inflexibility and lack of understanding create friction, and judgment, and foster resentment, bitterness, and even victimhood. Exploring the other side of the situation relaxes your muscles, releases the strain from your neck, and brings healing to relationships. When you move from your position, you can see things differently from another angle. So you are not extending your neck, but you analyze someone else’s point of view. 

If you wake up with a stiff neck and help yourself get rid of it, in your mind,  go a few days back and ask yourself “What am I being inflexible or stubborn about?”. 

If your neck pain is chronic, you may want to reach out so we can explore the root of your condition and get rid of it for good.
