  1. Upper back/lower neck problems

    Thks all for ur suggestion. My tinnitus is due probably to my neck. I will do @Earl Grey neck and shoulder exercises in the next days and see if this helps. I have read in a tinnitus forum a person who fixed his tinnitus by doing neck and shoulder strenghtening exercises very similar to those posted in his program. I will try to do them everyday
  2. As I said in a previous thread I have some knots in my upper back and lower neck. It is in the area between shoulder blades and a little bit higher too. When i exercise this area i can hear a lot of craaacks craack, as when i squeeze shoulder blades together or when i raise my head stretching the neck. I think this problem is causing my tinnitus and poor blood circulation to my head. Any idea to fix this ? Pd: i have tried a lot of different things in the last 3 years and nothing has worked so far. Several qigong systems, some tai chi, yoga, pilates, etc
  3. Upper back/lower neck problems

    If i could stretch or exercise the area between my shoulder blades and my neck i think i could fix that
  4. Upper back/lower neck problems

    Maybe a have a little bit of kyphosis. I have never seen a doctor for this. I saw a physioterapist who gave a massage one year and a half ago and he said my back was quite good. Maybe i should see a chriropractic
  5. Upper back/lower neck problems

    Edit: the problem is in my upper back and lower neck
  6. Covid is just like a common flu. Every year the flu can be novel, different from other years. The impact is due to a very bad response by governments and media (and at first also by the medical community until they began to realize the truth), that have failed us immensily
  7. Very intelligent comment. But again let's not forget this is just a common flu
  8. An ordinary flu kills some people, that is what it is
  9. Haha 700,000? Caused by what? Stupidity has no limits
  10. Do u think speed reading is possible? You need to read without the subvocalization, as thinking with images. Some people say they can do it, like a former US president (Kennedy?). In my case I always subvocalize, I can't avoid it.
  11. Is speed reading possible?

    I should have asked, is it possible to dissociate thinking and speaking? Is it possible to read without the internal speaking? This is the important and difficult thing
  12. This is an important part of the human body, the joint between the atlas and the occiput. Do you know some technique to open this important spot, besides tucking chin in? In Alexander technique they lay down on a mat with the head under two paperback books, in order to make it go forward, but I would like to know other ways to work this area.
  13. Can u explain how to open the occiput? I don't fully understand ur explanation
  14. Stoicism - your thoughts ?

    It is!
  15. Damo Mitchell Free MCO Course

    yes, i don't want to do it right now for the same reason, i have too many blockages, first i need to address them
  16. the importance of the neck

    Interesting, it seems u understand this well. But what to do if our cervicals are misaligned so we are fucked up? How to fix this ?
  17. The difficult and important thing is to read without subvocalizating. I have tried several times and i can't avoid hearing the speaking while reading. I guess it is due to habit. Feldenkrais says it is possible to dissociate thinking and speaking, so u can think in images or relations. This way u improve reading speed but also thinking becomes more powerful
  18. Xiang Gong - Fragrant Qigong

    I can only laugh reading your comments. Are u talking about a god or about a person who died of cancer even before his 70s? Lol
  19. the importance of the neck

    The neck and head alignment is key as emphasized by Alexander technique snd Feldenkrais. But it is difficult to do, u need good propioception

  21. Damo Mitchell Free MCO Course

    And what does he mean by "anchored the breath down to the base of the body"?
  22. Damo Mitchell Free MCO Course

    If someone does the course it would be nice to hear about the results of the practice
  23. According to feldenkrais method doing eye exercises can help open the chest and torso. Incredible thing! Does anybody know something about this magic trick? @Zhongyongdaoist ?
  24. Damo Mitchell Free MCO Course

    thanks for sharing, maybe i will do the course in the near future if it is still available. Right now i am training with something else
