Healing into Wholeness Using Chakras – Day 17
Tip-off: What would happen if you relaxed your jaw? Are you afraid that you would express “unacceptable” emotions? Why are you cutting off feelings? Why can’t you express your feelings?
Shoulder: Shoulders carry the weight of the world. Responsibilities for spouse, children, bills and relatives. When the shoulders become tense and ridged it could represent that you are not expressing your needs, perhaps you are doing too much or are doing something you are in conflict about. Tension restricts energy flow, so the “doing” energy becomes blocked. The muscles connect to mental energy. You can manifest knotted and tight shoulders in relation to your thoughts. Emotional coldness might manifest as a frozen shoulder. You raise your shoulders in anxiety and fear. Hunched shoulders are developed over time and may represent carrying a burden for an extended period.
