Somatic Multitasking
I’m fortunate to be doing work that helps me as well as my clients find solutions to pain and mobility problems. But I’ve found that solving a problem doesn’t get me out of the woods.
I always find others!
A few months ago I spent some time looking into pain in my neck which has been a problem for a long time. I followed it around and eventually discovered it had left.
Great, right?
Seems I hadn’t noticed it left because another problem
reared its ugly head as soon as my neck pain changed.
My hip pain took over.
And now that my hip problem is starting to work itself into a better place, don’t you know it my other hip is explaining to me that my first hip had only become a problem because it was overcompensating in its efforts to control the real problem.
That other hip!
Which is now starting to monopolize my attention.
So I’ve been reflecting on this, and now I realize that for quite a while there has been a sensation
in my “other” hip which somehow didn’t get interpreted as pain.
But it was.
Which is making me wonder about a lot of other sensations I’ve got. Are they actually pain but I don’t register them that way at the moment?
And can I start to look into these other sensations now,
in case they’re related to my “other” hip?
Maybe work on more than one problem at a time?
Somatic multitasking. Why not?
Quantum science says life isn’t linear like we think it is. I’ll look into it.
