Guest guest Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 When quietly sitting and trying to feel my whole body; meditating. I often get quite severe pains in the back of my neck under my skull. As if enegry (or something) is trying to move through but is blocked. The muscles tighten up and the pain rolls from side to side slowly. Sometimes it travels down my arms. Sometimes on one side, sometimes on the other. I can "relax" quickly and it goes away, but then comes back within seconds or minutes. Any idea what this is? What it might mean? Would it be a good idea to concentrate on the 5th/Throat Chakra? This has been going on now for about 2 years. Thank you, Ric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Hello Ric I had a hypnosis client who also had a significant energy block in this area. With him it was because he uses his head a lot more than his heart; his energy is sort of "bottlenecked" right in the spot you mentioned. When I touched his heart chakra his breathing instantly changed, and while he seemed extremely blissful I was afraid he would pass out if I didn't stop. Not sure if that's what's going on with you (i.e., overintellectualizing) but it's food for thought!

Now, if you were to lay down and meditate in the same manner, would do be getting the same pain? If you don't it is not meditation causing the problem, it is your posture. If you do then I would ask you what you do. You are saying "trying to feel my whole body" as if it requires an effort. feeling is just feeling. there is nothing to do, no effort> > As if enegry (or something) is trying to move through but is blocked. > The muscles tighten up and the pain rolls from side to side slowly. > Any idea what this is?

If your muscles tighten up, you are not meditating. Unless you relax at first and the tension comes after starting and then meditation brings you to a place where you are afraid of completely letting go and that fear brings you to tighten up. Become aware of this game that brings the tension and go into it a little at a time so you see it coming as a result of your own resistance to something. Become aware of your resistance. What is it a resistance to? Blessings, Awtar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
