How to Stop a Neck Tic

Stopping a Neck Tic is possible. 

Much of the internet tells us that Tics aren't curable, but are something manageable. 

Few people write about healing a Neck Tic for good.

So here goes.

A Neck Tic is a symptom of suppression & tension in your body. 

If you unconsciously suppress emotions, your body will begin to show signs of suppression; i.e the Tic.

When did you learn how to ensure you DON'T suppress emotions?

No one has taught us this!

I had to learn how to open, relax and be gentler with my body SO THAT I didn't suppress emotions in my life. 

This is especially true for men and young boys because emotions aren't something we have been encouraged to talk about or share. 

Yet, it's essential on the path of healing a Neck Tic. 

I'm going to share with you 1 quick technique that you can try right now in order to improve your relationship with your body, relax the muscles around the Tic, and allow some of the emotions to move. 

Firstly, you're going to sit up straight, balanced and relaxed. 

Secondly, you're going to move INTO the position of the body when you're in peak Tic. Something like that of the photo I've shared at the top of this article. It will likely be an awkward position. A funny shape or position that we might judge as being weird, or not wanting to do. 

Move into this shape of the Tic, SLOWLY. 

Move into the shape SO SLOWLY that you are present, relaxed and that you FEEL as much as you can INSIDE your body. 

Then once you're in the position...

Thirdly, STAY there and BREATHE.

Take 5 deep breaths into your belly whilst in the position of your Tic. 

Fourth, slowly come 'out' of the position of your Tic. 

Then repeat for 3 repetitions. 

If you do this a couple of times a day for a couple of weeks you will notice a lightness in your Tic. 

You will notice that the Tic is less INTENSE, and a little more gentle. It may also decrease the number of times that you Tic each day as you're learning to be calmer inside your own body. 

I hope that helps!

I share a range of practices like this specifically designed for Motor & Vocal Tics in my online programs.
