I am finally understanding at the body level, that it is the hips that need to rotate open.
The knees, as much as they hurt, (say, in the Janus) don't need to do that much.
The fact that I don't have meniscus's does not help...
This is what I have been trying:
- Baths, after practice for now, although I have now been inspired by Boodiba 's post (and comments, all of them) to take them before practice as well...
- I am of course, not forcing anything
- I am using vata oil (as recomended by teacher)
Has anyone have any other suggestion? the pain seems to really want to "teach me something", and it is sticking with me...
I wonder if the knees have some kind of an "emotional" thing going... what is it I need to release?
Supuestamente las rodillas son un subchakra del Earth chakra que tiene que ver con estabilidad (hogar, finanzas, emocional, todo lo que te hace sentir grounded). Dolor en las rodillas -- más allá de lo físico-- tiene que ver con sensción de inestabilidad y de cambios. (At least, según mi terapeuta). Besooooooo

ReplyDeleteI thought that pix was a little Christmas troll at first! Funny!
ReplyDeleteHA HA, yes it loos a bit like it!
ReplyDeleteI meant "looks", not loos
ReplyDeleteYa I thought of the Amelie garden gnome (with a Christmas hat on).
ReplyDeleteWhat does that say about my psychology, as per an ink blot test? :)
Hmmm.... I think that would mean that you are probably in a very festive mood, projecting festivities and Christmas ornaments into no other than "knees"... probably because of what is in store for you later on....
ReplyDeleteOh... and the acrobat is more than a bit elfin :) I wonder if he's got any shoes with tips that curl up & have bells & so forth!
ReplyDeleteHA HA HA, THAT is where it comes from!. Well if he has such shoes at least you would not confuse them with your own :-)
