\"Fly<\/a><\/p>\n

On your shoulders, you carry the weight of the world:<\/p>\n

the work you do<\/p>\n

your friends, enemies, relatives, neighbors<\/p>\n

housing<\/p>\n

mothers-in-law<\/p>\n

loved ones who are sick<\/p>\n

The operative word here is RESPONSIBILITY. \u00a0The important thing here is to not neglect yourself in the midst of carrying the weight of the world.<\/p>\n

When you are \u00a0neglecting your own needs, your own activity may be hindered.<\/p>\n

When things in your life are not going as they should, or as you hoped, \u00a0your body will speak to you with:<\/p>\n

hunched shoulders,<\/p>\n

tense shoulder muscles,<\/p>\n

frozen shoulder,<\/p>\n

painful shoulders.<\/p>\n

When you experience discomfort or malfunction in your shoulders, stop and ask yourself how you can make changes in your activities and lifestyle which will release blockages which cause pain and stiffness.<\/p>\n

Are you hugging the wrong people?<\/p>\n

Are you anxious?<\/p>\n

Are you fearful?<\/p>\n

Are you overwhelmed?<\/p>\n

Do you need fun in your life?<\/p>\n

Take a few moments out of each day for yourself and your shoulders. \u00a0Try to focus on solutions instead of problems. \u00a0Seek out guided meditations which allow you to breathe deeply and release your worries.<\/p>\n

Encourage yourself to relax completely for a few minutes each and every day. \u00a0Find a safe place. \u00a0Turn on some quiet music, get comfortable and breathe deeply from your abdomen. \u00a0Encourage your shoulders to heal as you send energy to them. \u00a0Guide the energy from your heart to your shoulders and down your arms and hands to the tips of your fingers. \u00a0Open your diaphragm.<\/p>\n

Relax. \u00a0Rejuvenate. \u00a0Release. \u00a0Renew.<\/p>\n
