Is Your Body Really Letting You Down?

Tension is your body (or your nervous system controlling your body) adapting to your life.

Tension is created by the body because it doesn’t feel safe, supported, grounded in some way. There is usually a lack of stability and or strength, caused by movement avoidance. Your body avoids certain pathways of movement due to a past injury, emotional holding or other stressor.

Why Discomfort Is Good For You

There is a difference between pain and discomfort. Pain should absolutely be avoided, in fact your body will do it’s best to avoid pain. It will respond automatically and will ‘jump’ you out of a movement that brings you pain (think of picking up a hot pan). Discomfort however, is recognised by the mind first and can be a wonderful place where our inner strength is discovered and developed.
