Neck Muscle Spasms? Try heart alignment!

Your neck muscles might be in pain, or locking up in spasms. Have you ever thought about how your heart, your emotions, and your feelings relate to muscle tension? By focusing on your heart, you can take pressure off of your neck muscles, relieving pain and spasms.

This article describes more about how to align the heart and relieve neck muscle pain:

As with any exercise to relieve muscle tension, pain or spasms, be gentle. Don't aggressively pressure your neck muscles. If you try to stretch, to strengthen, to align and to correct, but you are getting nowhere, then give it a break for a day.

You probably did not get that tension overnight, and it probably won't go away immediately, either! So, keep trying these heart-aligning exercises and other healthy lifestyle habits: You Can Feel Relief!
