In the event of neck problems, it is possible that either the gallbladder and/or bladder meridians are out of balance. The gallbladder meridian is associated with the emotions of violent anger and aggression and the bladder meridian carries the emotions of discord and disharmony. One can also speak of “stubbornness”, which expresses that a person has a limited view of a situation or person and is lacking flexibility (blinkers).

From a karmic point of view, the fear of not being in the right mental state is in the back of the neck (see Karma Zones).

From an astrological point of view, the neck is associated with the constellation of Taurus and the cause lies in the sign of the Leo.
