Episode 38: How to Set our Body up for Success - The Neck
I'm starting a series on "How to Set our Body up for Success", and the first of this series is about our Neck. If our neck is healthy physically, emotionally & spiritually, it's much easier for the entire body to heal.
How do we create issues in and around our neck?
Physically:
-Injuries
-Bad Posture
-Sleep positions
Emotionally:
-Not saying what we need to say
-Not hearing what we need to hear or "digest" or "assimilate"
Spiritually:
-Not receiving gifts or compliments
-Not accepting help
-Not accepting positive vibes towards us, instead deflecting them
3 Ways To Set Our Neck Up For Success:
Physically:
-Strengthen upper back
-Practice good posture
-Deep breathing to open the throat
Emotionally:
(get emotional pain out by:)
-Singing (or humming)
-Massage on neck
-Hot tea
Spiritually:
-Journal
-Pray & talk to God
-Talk out loud to yourself, friends, pets, the wall... just get the words out.
