Hi everyone:)

 

 

 

First I would like to introduce myself, as I didn't do it yet.

My name is Eva and I live in Sherwood Park, Province of Alberta in Canada.

I've been practicing yoga for last 6 years, but not until about 1 month ago

I had an opportunity to start learning about Kundalini Yoga.

It really aroused my curiosity and I am starting to realize, that as much as

I love Yoga, now Kundalini Yoga will open a new door into the true depth of it.

Now for those of you, who might be able or willing to give me some helpful

tips here is my question: this past Thursday I underwent Arthoscopy of my

left knee. It is a type of diagnostic surgery to determine, what kind of

damage there is to the knee joint, cartilage, connective tissues etc., and

to do minor repair at the same time.

In my case it was torn meniscus, which the surgeon cleaned up. There was

some suggestions given as to how to exercise the joint, to improve blood

circulation, and strengthen the muscles, in my opinion somewhat limited though.

Is there some yoga asanas beside extended legs up the wall?

I am practicing affirmations and visualizations daily to speed the recovery.

Is there any mantra especially helpful for post-operative trauma to physical

body?

Thank you for taking some time to answer my questions:))

Hello Eva and everyone,

 

Eva, here is what I suggest for your

wound recovery.

 

I am 50, and as flexible as an iron bar,

though practicing yoga. I mean I am not

naturaly flexible...

 

There is one form of breathing that makes me

4 inches more flexible in certain positions.

Since I am working alone and 'my own way', the

only thing I can say is that it works for me.

 

I once read in a book 'a metal is flexible when

it is hot'.

 

.... And the (Froggy Jacques) pupil was illuminated.

 

;-)))) ___ (((-;

 

I kneel on the floor and I get rid of all my

residual air while exhaling. That means my chest

and mainly belly muscles work to expell the air.

 

Then I strongly breath in, mouth open. Then I breath

out with mouth open too.

 

This kind of powerfull bellow breathing, in just

a few minutes, makes you chill and with kind

of ants in the spine, up the shoulder, and showering

tinglings on the shoulders.

 

Then go on, finding your rythm, that is calming it

as you feel, a little. But maintain the principle :

vigorous breathing with expelling residual air.

 

When now you practice the exercises for healing

your joint, I think, if you react as I do, that

you'll get maximum benefit from what you do.

 

Your body is just, in my opinion, ideally ready.

 

I hope this can help.

 

Greetings from rainy France,

 

Froggy (toady ?) Jacques

 

nb : THis breathing produces other effects

on the brain and nervous system. Don't overload.

Though for me, I can do for as long as I

want, some other friends, after following

my advice, had difficulties to sleep. We are

all built differently.

 

And please, tell me the results.
