with Steven Rogat
October/November 2001
Dear Steve: When I was about
27 years old ( I am 45 now), I injured my back. I dove
off a rope swing into a lake and landed wrong. Since
then, every now and then I will feel pain, a sort of
knot between my shoulder blades. Sometimes I can lift
something heavy, and it will hurt for a few days. But
sometimes, I can just wake up in the morning with it.
I exercise regularly, and I'm in good shape, but I just
can't seem to get past this one. At the time I injured
it, I was traveling on a crafts fair circuit with a
woman I had been seeing for awhile. The agreement was
that she would go back home to her job, and I would
continue to travel indefinitely. We were splitting up.
It was by agreement, but still didn't feel very good.
I didn't have a permanent place to live, and didn't
know where I would settle down. I was able to stay at
my brother's house and at my mother's house, but knew
that was only temporary. Money wasn't so good, but I
was surviving, and feeling good about what I was doing.

Dear John: The back supports
us. The middle back supports us emotionally. Generally
the shoulder blade area reflects guilt. Yes - the "G"
word. The tension collecting there could be from either
of two reasons or a combination of both. The first is
that you felt guilty about not having a more comfortable
level of income, and about having to rely on relatives
for a place to live. The second, but more likely cause
is feeling bad about splitting up with your woman friend.
I know the two of you had an "agreement" to
split up, but that still isn't easy. It sounds like
you moved on even though she still wanted to be with
you. She may have felt betrayed, and you took the blame
and guilt. No matter how honest and loving you are,
you can't fix her feelings. If you did what you could
to make her feel good, don't stab yourself in the back
for her sadness.
Positive Thought To Manifest:
I attract the perfect support for my happiness. And
I support others on expressing happiness in their lives.
Pat yourself on the back for being
aware of others' feelings, Steve
