    The mindfulness leading to more anxiety is kind of what my chiropractor told me when I started correcting my scoliosis: “now you feel pain in you’re upper back but along the way it will move to new places that will hurt.” Which he explained was because my pain was from a posture that compensated for other pain which I didn’t correct in the past..
    Anyway I made the connection and was pretty convince of that counterintuitive result in the short terms. It’s the same phenomenon of a system running without the essentials oil and maintenance.
