I found this fascinating quote today:

Just as you forget what's in the junk drawer until you need something in there, and rediscover it again, certain aspects of ourselves get "filed away" because of disuse, confusion, or experience. "I'll need this someday," we tell ourselves. It's in a crisis -- where is the allen wrench? Didn't I have a crochet hook? -- that we frantically search for the perfect, simple, and elusive tool that solves our problem. Likewise, the experience of a freely floating shoulder, an easy neck, or a flexible and buoyant spine gets "filed away" after years of sitting still in a school desk or before a computer screen. The gentle and pleasurable movements we experienced as children are "filed away" in our brains, waiting to be rediscovered. When your neck feels tight, you know you should relax or release -- but how do you do that? If you knew how, you'd have done it long ago. This information is in the junk drawer.MaryBeth Smith, SomaQuest, Jun 2009

This gets my mental gears rolling. It just a matter of remembering how to move and be pain free. At least it's a start.
