Question on clearing blockages.

[zenmaster]

As for physically "off" like I previously mentioned I feel a bit of a.. energy blockage in my back, and a little on the back of my neck. What can I do to help clear these things up? Thanks in advance for the help

If it's just an energy blockage, with no physical symptoms, you can simply try a meditative exercise of letting the energy speak to your imagination. You can then make corrections as you feel would adjust things to a proper balance.

Zenmaster what do you mean by sometimes people need 'permission' to determine their condition in order for the ego to buy into it.

Permission in the sense of a belief that one is ready for the change and that it's possible. The ego is in charge of directing perception, and sometimes it is a limited or negative habit of perception which maintains the undesired (energetic) patten. So one can often do a lot to effect change by adequately preparing the mind for it.

I could have said 'excuse' instead of 'permission', but ultimately there is an appeal to something 'higher', 'more aware', or 'more authoritative' beyond the current habit of thought (guarded by ego), that one is aided by when seeking a more healthy condition.
