Congestions

The blood is rushing to your head. You feel a pressure behind your temples, a fullness in your skull — as if everything that belongs below is pushing upward. Your face flushes, your veins throb, your head feels like a pressure cooker with the gauge climbing steadily. Medically, this is congestion — an increased flow of blood to the head that can cause head pressure, dizziness, and a sensation of heat.

But why does the blood rise? Why does energy gather precisely where there is already too much — in the head, in thinking, in control? The psychosomatic perspective asks a simple question: when your blood pushes upward, what is actually pushing — and what is it fleeing?

Congestions are not a circulation problem. They are a distribution problem — and not only in the body.
