I'm traditional Chinese Medicine, there are a series of spirit-acu points in the neck region, which tend to get blocked called the “Windows of the Sky”.
Chronic tension can settle into the neck, and literally strangle your aliveness or spirit
The spiritual significance of the Windows of the Sky points is that they govern harmony between your mind and body. When healing energy flows through the Windows of the Sky, your spirit and aliveness makes you happy, inspired, satisfied, and fulfilled.
The Windows of the Sky acu-points are located in your neck, which holds the weight of your head and where so many of the meridians pathways cross. When you are under stress, your neck muscles constrict, affecting your ability to be creative and express yourself.
Clinical
The neck houses the thyroid gland, which balances your metabolism. When tension accumulates and becomes chronic, these points block your healing energy, which can cause chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and thyroid problems.
