Within the human body there are also other subtle energies such as the mental body, the emotional and the spiritual body.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In our daily life, in our every day activities. we focus mainly into the physical body only. Yoga makes special emphasis to connect with our five senses and develop the capacity of becoming more sensitive about them in order to touch these subtle energies that are flowing within us. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Connection mind- body- emotions<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is known that every part of the physical body is related with some emotional memories from the past, and that our subconscious body is wiser than our intellectual body and thus it is reflecting through the physical body some sore, pain, or even some decease in order to alert us that something in our emotional or mental level is unbalanced.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within the psyche science, shoulders in our body represent the capacity of holding an emotional weight, either happiness, sadness, fear or anger whether it is under our control or not. We might feel unbalanced whenever we have the sensation that we still have too many of goals to accomplish and it might be too intense to complete them , or even to feel non satisfied about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also when we are experiencing certain insecurities either emotional or material, shoulders might tend to tense. In the moment of tension, they are also contracting and therefor closing up. This connotation of closing implies also blockage to communication with ourselves and with the environment. As a consequence , shoulders might block the openness with the heart because it rests between both shoulders and, and this tension would be blocking as well the natural flow with the rest of our body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Check:<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.akshiyogashala.org\/200-hour-yoga-teacher-training-in-rishikesh\/\">200 hour Yoga TTC in Rishikesh<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Yoga for Shoulder Pain<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asanas in Yoga promote the openness of the distance between the shoulders and the ears, they are improving the functions of the respiration system.
