The reminders to correct the imbalance are endless. Each time we display a negative posture, it is a signal that the outburst insists on an investigation. Men are much worse at holding pain than women, by far. The very meaning of being a man is to isolate our mind from ones emotion. Holding pain, is more a condition of social acceptance than that of the design of the human body.
Balance is a necessity in a corporeal and temporal reality.
We can afford some imbalance, but only to a specified degree before the ravages of the imbalance alter our relationship with the world. The day of our birth we are subject to the rigors of human life. The precondition of the indoctrination insists on routine and the need to assimilate pushes one further from our source of guidance. Holding our emotional and physical traumas are a result of that conditioning. The holding of pain than produces a reaction to our person that is very bizarre in nature.
