Happy Shiny People

You know the spot, between your shoulder blades, just at the base of your neck? The part you just CAN'T reach, as you twist your arm, bend your elbow, arch your back and attempt to knead and accupressure the spot. So you bend your head this way and that, twisting your neck left and right, in hopes of stretching out the kinks in the muscles, thereby relieving the pain that plagues you.

Some time ago, as part of a social activity we could do together and still catch up, a couple of friends and I got a neck and shoulder massage together. The masseurs commented that our muscles were so taut, they suspected we very likely worked as labourers, instead of sitting at desks pushing pen and paper (or tapping rather furiously at our keyboards) all day long. As a parting shot, the masseur who did my back tossed back a nonchalant, "You should be more careful. Your muscles are hardening". WHAT?? What's that supposed to mean???

So, where do YOU hold your hurt, anger, stress, self-doubts, insecurity, and frustration? All those unhappy thoughts?
