It is the long held belief of some, that the negative emotions we experience to different events in our lives are stored in our physical body in the tissue as stress. Over time this stress from bottled up emotions can accumulate and cause pain and sickness that can only be properly cured by dealing with the emotions that caused the stress in the first place.
Many people will dismiss this and other similar theories as unscientific and unproven. However, as with any practice that has stood the test of time, there are plenty of people who will say it worked for them when everything else failed.
The reason for mentioning these things in relation to back pain is to point out that there are many factors which can influence the level or incidence of stress and thereby the pain that we feel. There are just as importantly, many ways of helping ourselves on a physical level summarised by; focusing on and caring about the way we think, eat, and live our lives in general. It’s up to you to determine the effect many of these things have on your particular pain.
Two people can have the same physical imbalances and stresses in their body but only one of them feels pain because of ‘other factors’ in their life. This is what makes it so hard for people to find the solution to their particular problem.
Basically the more strong, supple, healthy and relaxed the tissue in our body is, the more resistant it is to the stresses or pressure that cause us pain or sickness and when we do get a problem, the easier it responds and becomes well again.
Just as you can counter the build up of dirt and dust in your house through regular cleaning, you can also counter the build up of stress and tension in your body through a healthy lifestyle and maintenance in your day to day life. Start slowly bit by bit and notice the changes after a few months.
Probably the worst thing about stress is we condition ourselves in the way we eat, think and even hold ourselves over many years and these habits are hard to break quickly. That’s why understanding the source of your problems is the most important place to start, then work daily to make little changes that will eventually filter through to your body and change the way you feel. With my guidance this is something you can most definitely hope to achieve, all you require is the desire and discipline to see it through.
