Humeral Articulation (Dislocated Shoulder)

The shoulders are read as our capacity to carry - our joys, sorrows, responsibilities and insecurities, and the burden of the actions we take or wish to take. A shoulder problem is read as taking on too much, especially making oneself responsible for others' happiness, feeling "too much to do" and never able to finish, or feeling blocked - imposed upon, unsupported, prevented from acting. The short explanation's "severe lack of fluidity in perception" sits in that overloaded, blocked stance toward what one can take on. Relief is described as setting down what is not one's to carry, asking for support, and acting without feeling one must shoulder everything alone.

Example from the findings: the shoulder is read as a load grown too heavy - too much taken on, and a felt block on acting.
