Guest guest Posted September 12, 2001 Report Share Posted September 12, 2001 Sat Nam After months of practice, I am able to bring my face to my knees in the Life nerve stretch set. However I have been observing a pattern. After 4-5 days of successful practice I seem to pull a muscle/nerve on the back of my right thigh. Thereafter for a few days I am unable to bring my face to the knees owing to the pain. Also frogs hurts a lot then. I relax the life nerve stretch a bit and ease on the frogs and thigh pull heals in a few days. The cycle then repeats again (4-5 days of success, pull, ease and healing). I seem to hurt the same thigh always. Is this related to me doing something wrong in posture/angle etc. Or would the thigh eventually strengthen enough to stretch well always. I am specifically referring to the Life nerve stretch guidelines in the Startup set described in the Sexuality and Sprituality manual.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2001 Report Share Posted September 12, 2001 We are not equally flexible every day of the week. There are many factors which will affect flexibility. Sense of emotional calm, _what and when you ate last_, humidity, orderliness/cheerfulness of pratice environment. One actually couldn't name all the factors. What I've found: don't be overeager on days when you are less flexible. Just accept it. Your practice with regard to the essential dynamics will not be adversely affected if you don't _totally_ complete a perfect posture each day. By not overdoing, you avoid injury, control ego, and pave the way for a more perfect execution of the posture next time. My opinion only.
