Acupuncture for releasing tension

[Heaven]

Hey all?
I’ve been suffering from neck pain for a while. It comes and goes but always there.

Body awareness helped me a lot. For some reason I tend to tense the area..so I must be conscious to release it.

I was wondering if any of you have experience with acupuncture. I heard from some people that it’s BS but I don’t have any experience with it.

Is it worth the try?(Around $300)

You guys are awesome! Thanks for the help❤️

It can definitely help if you have blockages in your throat chakra or if you hold in a lot of stress but it will probably come back unless the underlying cause has been eliminated. It may also be associated with denial of emotional expression such as denying yourself laugh, hate, yell and other forms of verbal expression. 

You may try some of Joe Dispenza's chakra meditations or just conscious body scanning & release of tension. Start by deliberately tensing all muscles of your jaw, neck and lower face and then release just so that you know what it should feel like. 

Perhaps some face gymnastics may help as well. 

There are some exercises as well such as lying belly down on bed and letting your head & neck hang of the edge. 

Good luck!
