Meditation

Two days ago, on the night of my last entry, I began having muscle spasms in my back which have continued till this afternoon. Normally I would get a spasm or two and be fine the next day — when the spasm is purely physical and there is no emotional component.  In this case the spasms went on for two days, a sure sign that something beyond the physical was going on so I meditated about it by feeling the pain and whether the pain felt like fear, anxiety or anger (three common problems for me).  It turns out that the changes I wrote about two days ago are also causing a lot of anxiety which added to the spasms.  I know that was the problem since identifying it and feeling it reduced the spasms.
