Neck and shoulder pain – spiritual meaning:
The experience of an illness reveals a mistake that we have made somewhere along the path of life.
An important aspect of this experience is understanding the message it carries because it allows complete healing.
If we don’t remove the error, we can only be cured partially, because it holds the root cause of the problem.
Therefore, one must first identify the cause of the disease, in order to avoid future mistakes.
If the cause is not removed, it can continue feeding the disease or migrate from one organ to another.
The disease will disappear when its cause is eliminated.
A Chinese proverb says:
“Any illness is an opportunity and not a judgment. The purpose of the disease is to lead the man to himself.”
Spiritual Meaning of Neck Pain
The neck area begins from the neckline and ends above the upper lip.
This region represents the location of the last seven vertebrae of the spine, namely the cervical vertebrae.
The energy of the neck area is the energy of creativity, it expresses the power to create in the physical world.
It is the energy that we use to emit vibrations of sound, speech, singing, etc.
The quality of this energy becomes perfect when we can express only the truth.
This creates the possibility to perform miracles in our lives. The neck area is the gateway to the mental dimension of the human being.
Any problem in this area corresponds to the fear of asking questions and expressing oneself or a blockage of creativity.
Other possible causes include – refusal to change, rigidity, and hidden anger due to offensive words.
Spiritual Meaning of Shoulder Pain
The shoulders have to do with literally not shouldering your responsibility.
Shoulder pain represents our capacity to carry our experiences in life joyously.
We choose to make life a burden by our attitude.
The right shoulder has to do with guilt that is causing you to not take responsibility to gain for yourself from whatever you do.
The left shoulder has to do with guilt that is stopping you from being responsible to better understand yourself so that you can just be yourself.

Hi, Anjana Gayatri. It means you have to learn to become more flexible and tolerant, and accept the opinion of others, so that the fat in the neck area will dissolve and the neck will become flexible again.
