Metaphysical Links - TMJ, Jaw Pain
Our TMJ (Temporomandibular joint) acts like a sliding hinge connecting our jaw to our skull.
Pain and discomfort in this joint is often linked with being unable to express ourselves with words in a way that feels safe and fulfilling.
This may be boundaries that you wish you set or simply communicating how you feel and what you desire in life to those around you.
Things to look at here -
What communication style was encouraged growing up?
Are you still communicating in that way?
Is this still serving you?
Are you “biting back” your words a lot? And who are you with? In what settings do you catch yourself grinding your teeth or clenching your jaw?
These are your clues.
