RE: Yoga 2.0: Relief for Tech Neck
"Pain is an indicator that something is out of whack, and it's an opportunity to check in with ourselves
and alter a behavior before it becomes dysfunctional habit. "
THAT is a great quote and I could not have said it better myself. I have always reflexively felt this way myself; any time I had pain, I wanted a solution and a rational, not treatment of my symptoms. It's been very important for me to understand how to fix things up; not just take a pill..
Solutions fix it and treating symptoms do not fix it.
Thanks for your comment, @surfyogi! I think all physical "problems" have something deeper behind them, and pain is trying to point us in the direction of getting to the real root of things. For example, a sore throat is really about some difficulty in communication, maybe swallowing anger or stifling authenticity or some such. Taking a pill could temporarily get rid of the sore throat, but the condition will manifest again and again (likely getting worse and worse) unless the real energetics behind it are addressed.
I really didn't touch on that aspect of things at all in this post, because I recognize that these theories are a little "out there" for some. But maybe it's time to share that perspective anyway...
