I had long believed that a way to solving the problem of my neck is to unlock my sacrum.
I just don't know how. I had moments when I felt it unlocking but it always went back to it's default locked state soon enough. Those moments serve as sparks of hope that the day will eventually come when my sacrum would permanently be free. A friend with interest in Buddhism added intensity to those sparks of hope when he told me this about enlightenment: you will experience a series of mini-enlightenments before true enlightenment.
My sacrum would feel great everytime I had cranio-sacral therapy (CST). Feeling the therapist's hand on the sacrum has a very soothing effect. The sacrum is always the first area being worked on in CST to release the locks in the body. At the end of a session I would feel my body being very still, with almost no need to breathe.
For the past week, I tried a therapy that confirmed how locked I still am at the sacrum. It was the Nugabest thermal accupressure bed that has moving rollers that push each vertebra as well as the sacrum up, thereby putting pressure on the spine using the weight of the body. Guess where I felt the most tension and pain? At the sacrum. The pain was almost untolerable. I had to tense up to relieve the pain when the rollers are on my sacrum.
You may ask how come I got so locked up in the sacrum. I'd say it's a combination of birth trauma that I had to endure which misaligned my cranial bones and not having had the chance to correct the misalignment by creeping and crawling, stages which I didn't go through, and which also had an adverse effect on my spine.
On the other side of the coin, I see the lock in my sacrum as a noble attempt of my body to maintain postural integrity and functionality despite the instability of the rest of the structures. To unlock prematurely might mean... what could it mean?
Now, if I can only figure out how to tap the body's inner intelligence for retrieving the magic key of such a secure lock...
Good luck to me!
