movement through relaxation

    interestingly yesterday's chi gong class started and continued with an emphasis on movement through relaxation.  each time the master said those words, tears came to my eyes.  my hip has had far too many reasons to hold tight during the last year and a half, and during my lifetime.  and i'm feeling the negative impact of the habit.   my hip is exhausted.   i'm experiencing slower and more uncomfortable movement again when i walk.  and nights filled with aching.  i'm telling myself that it's just one of those steps backwards that happen on the way to full recovery - two steps forward, one step back.  but it's feeling especially hard this time around. 

     i'm again at the ashram, so what that has to offer in the way of a peaceful environment, meditation and yoga helps.  i also really need to hear from you, my friends.  please be in touch.

with love...
