Hey all,
It's been a while since I posted. I'm still divining though.
I've had pain in my left shoulder for some years. It's related to some emotional things, my ex who's a woman. I've had bodywork quite a bit. This pain comes and goes. In my last session with a rolfer, I discovered that there's nothing "wrong" with me; that I don't need "fixin'," even though the pain is real and seems to come from either inflammation in the bursa and/or probably the supraspinatus muscle. The meridians that run up my neck also seem affected. I suppose I hold tension there. Maybe a "resistance" of sorts. Lots of inner work has led me to the idea that some things can't be reconciled, even within us. Maybe like not being able to reconcile what we know with what we feel.
Anyway, I'm curious about 28.1. I've thought on it for a week. Obviously, 28 is about stress and overload. But what are the "white reed mats?" Seems like reinforcement, from what I've gathered at the forum.
I guess this could be read as my need to support this shoulder, or even the root cause of it. The relating 43 makes me think that Yi is saying to bend my knees in prayer on the white mat, speak my truth to the Lord, maybe give it up to higher powers, as a way of asking for reinforcement or reinforcing...something.
Anyone else get a hit in this?
Thank y'all.
MM
