The flexibility of our head, neck, and shoulders can really tell us a whole lot about how we are feeling - both in our bodies and in our lives. Many people tend to carry an overwhelming amount of stress in their neck and shoulders, and often this is the part of our bodies where we feel burdened with too much responsibility.
If you turn your head side to side following your nose, left to right - what do you notice?
Is your range of motion limited?
And what if you lay your ear flat to your shoulder, left and right. What do you notice with this movement?
Do you feel a tug or a pull anywhere?
Most often, when we are "stuck" somewhere in our bodies, we can feel the pull or "tug" of the adhesions all along the areas where the muscles and fascia are stuck together. We sometimes can also feel pain or discomfort somewhere else in our body, what we often call "referral" pain.
Making this body connection for ourselves + building an awareness of our physical sensations is one of the biggest puzzle pieces we can nurture to help ourselves heal. When you can pinpoint, describe, and accurately place what you are FEELING in your body, you can then go about utilizing the vast array of tools available to you to help you work through it.
It may seem difficult at first, but the more you practice your awareness, the stronger your connection will get. Being able to communicate with our bodies in this way is incredibly powerful.
If you've found that you have a limited range of motion, some pain, or a piqued interest in learning how to nurture your Body-Mind connection, what is your next step?
Sometimes we need a little help along the way to get us to our wellness goals, and I love being able to help people find themselves in this way - it is so special. And really, some structural bodywork is I.N.C.R.E.D.I.B.L.E at releasing our head from our neck and shoulder girdle so that we can move freely again. When your head is loose - everything else seems so much clearer!
