Your Body Is Speaking

The atlas is the topmost vertebra of your spine — a small, ring-shaped bone that carries your entire head. Its name comes from Greek mythology: Atlas, the Titan who held the vault of the heavens on his shoulders. It is no coincidence that medicine named this vertebra after him. Because that is precisely what it does — it carries the world playing out inside your head. Every idea, every fear, every judgment, every spiral of rumination. All of it rests on this one small ring.
