It is sad that it has become rather commonplace and growingly so since the last 15-20 years to use these 'somatic' terms and concepts borrowed from the physical malady realm into spiritual realms and modalities, by novices and 'professionals' alike!
Blockage is one such term. There are channels in the body, and openings and they get blocked at times, examples being blockage of lymph channels (elephantiasis or at the minimum, oedema), sinus channels (sinusitis == talk about pressure! This is the granddaddy of blockages!), blockade of tubes (bile duct, ureter, tubes that drain the fluid in the eye chambers and lead to glaucoma of certain types).
I realize that there are primitive concepts, that visualized energy as flowing through fine channels in the body, neural energies, pranic energies, chi etc.
I think there is a bit of confusion there! These channels are real and contain fluid that has electrolytes in it (body fluid) and such fluid is conducive to carrying electric currents and in a subtle way the so called life energies are connected to these electrical fluids and their flow.
When a physical channel which carries the carrier (electrolyte) gets physically blocked, it obstructs the flow of chi (or equivalent) or at least that is what the wisdom that has passed down been!
There is a misconception there I think propagated by the energy healers and self-prophessed teachers and suchlike!
Well you see, this life energy normally may ride on the electrolyte channels but it is not confined to or bound by those. For it is not necessarily dependent on the physical reality, even the physical reality of electrolytes flowing through the body and its micro channels!
This is a subtle concept and connects the physical and quantum reality in both of which energy exists!
Through energy healing, one attempts to bridge these two realms but if we get stuck in the models and terminologies such as "blockages" then all we do is making those really happen! And perhaps I should use the term 'occur' because that is the bad way to deal with healing energies and life energy! :-)

[quote="danny.israel"]Hello :)
I'm trying to clear my blockages and since many of you probably have much experience with this I'm wondering what techniques and words you may have to offer.
During meditation I'm also experiencing a lot of pressure in the skull area. It can start around the third eye and move to my left eye around the bone structures, sutures and such. Today it got very intense and really hurt a lot, I imagine the blockages are around the spine and building up the pressure in the head. I've also been experiencing back pains in all sorts of areas ranging from lower back to the neck.
Any ideas and contributions are very appreciated thank you very much :)[/quote]
