Post: RE: Conscious Shifting Causes Strain?

That's great! It sounds like you found that you can adjust mentally to only be responsible for one point at a time. Nothing else matters besides that spot. Bates kind of wrote about that when he went ...

Welcome back! Those things should at least give some kind of temporary relief, even without practicing the things I recommend about looking at details. If not, it might be a diet issue or some other ...
