Neck pain, nuchal stiffness, muscle spasms, and impossibility of action are symptoms that tell us that we are suffering from torticollis.
What is the true meaning of suffering from torticollis, for what? It’s to keep me from looking one way and force me to look away.
By placing the view in one direction we eliminate the stress of having to choose.
Contrariety or contradiction conflict:
When a torticollis manifests itself, it indicates that we are experiencing or have experienced a conflict of annoyance in action a few hours ago.
It’s almost always about something I want to look at and don’t, or something I want to do and don’t, or vice versa.
“I want to, but I don’t want to, I can’t or I shouldn’t”
For example: “I want to go to my daughter’s house, but I don’t want to meet my son-in-law”
“I want to go to study in London, but I must not leave my mother alone”
I have an idea towards one direction and suddenly a contradictory thought appears to me that demands a contrary movement.
That is why the muscle contracts, because it receives a double unconscious order, which may be related to work, family, partner, projects, values, etc.
Any situation of wanting to do something and because of cowardice, insecurity, tradition, obedience I don’t do it, can cause me a stiff neck.
Or, quite the opposite, that is, when I don’t want to do something and for whatever reason, I am forced to do it.
“I don’t want to get married in church but I have to, because otherwise my family would be angry”
In the same way, we must be very careful with the contradictions related to the “should be”:
“I should have stood up for my partner, but I didn’t”
“Wanting to look and not doing it or looking and regretting doing it.”
“Wanting to turn one’s head to see something or someone, but having it morally prohibited or that we ourselves prohibited it.”
For example: walking down the street and seeing your father on the other side of the street with his partner”.
If muscle contraction prevents us from shaking our head, it means that we deeply want to say no to someone or something; but we don’t allow it.
On the contrary, if the pain prevents us from affirming with our heads, it is because we would like to say yes; but we don’t allow it either.
Stiff neck is the consequence of rejection, disagreement, or non-acceptance of what is happening or what others say or do, but we do not dare to express it freely.
Either because we do not have the courage, the sufficient capacity or because we think that we do not have the right to demonstrate.
Spasmodic Torticollis: the neck muscles that control the position of the head are affected, causing the head to bend to one side. Also, the head goes forwards or backwards.
“Conflict for not having felt supported in a discussion, in a confrontation.”
Congenital torticollis: “I don’t want to see the danger. I keep an eye on my affection that is leaving”.
Recurrent chronic torticollis: Conflict of impotence due to not being able to do what I want and having to endure the power of another, from which I cannot get rid of”.
Dystonia: Conflict with a forbidden love.
Woman, to the right: In relation to the husband or partner.
Woman, to the left: Related to children or younger men.
Inflexibility. Skewed view of the world. Deep down, stiff neck expresses stubbornness, a lack of flexibility in our opinions and in our way of seeing and managing life and our thoughts.
People who find it difficult to live and manage their present.
Who live with insecurity and resist -consciously or unconsciously- to contemplate all the options and alternatives, remaining inflexible. They avoid facing uncomfortable or compromising situations.
When the stiff neck becomes chronic I have to see if I want to do something and someone forces me to do the opposite and it is impossible for me to avoid it or walk away, because it is someone very close to me.
If I am not living in any contradiction at the moment, I have to find out in my meaningful project, if it was my mother who lived it.
And if it were not so, I need to search in myself, among my doubles, for someone who lived in a complete contradiction.
Recommendations to recover physical, emotional and spiritual health:
We need to open up to new ways of seeing and facing life; be receptive, open to new ideas. It is about becoming aware of situations and our attitudes about it.
Flexibility. Finding the center, the balance, in the way I see and move naturally.
“I do what I want to do and what makes me happy.”
When we are able to consciously adopt this change in attitude, our life changes, improves and, of course, the stiff neck disappears.
