Severe muscle tension and mediation

[michael4422]

Due to, I believe, repressed emotions I've had a TON of neck, face, and throat tension. As I practice meditation, I feel more of it. It's going from numb to painful to an emotional purge. I've made some great strides.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this type of thing or has a story to tell. I don't know anyone in this position. I wish I learned this many, many years ago, and I'm lucky I stumbled upon it.

Have you considered therapeutic massage? I'm going in twice a month to deal with upper body issues i had before my drinking and that got worse due to me not taking care of my body while drinking. It's a little expensive but it's a lot less expensive than the alcohol i had been buying and i'm getting a lot of relief from it. I also started seeing a chiropractor and he's helped me a ton and is even covered by my insurance!
