battered tail-bone : (

[Guest guest]

About a year 1/2 had passed since I'd last seen my favorite KY Teacher.

Recently, I ran into him and was looking very much forward to getting re-started

now that he was back in the area. As luck would have it, the next day, I had a

violent fall at work and bruised my tail bone/coccyx.

 

A few weeks have passed and my discomfort is mild/none. So, I plan on going to a

class and only doing what I feel comfortable with.

 

Question: Does anyone know what sort of energetic ramifications an injury to the

base of the spine has when working with Kundalini?

In a (loosely) related note, I have been doing kriyas lately that have

involved various forms of "sit-ups" -- and in doing so I find that I rub a

"rasberry" on my buttocks where my tailbone is.

 

It remains sore/painful for at least a week afterwards--making it difficult

to sit, or do any asana that puts much pressure in that region.

 

I have tried padding the region while doing the asana, but since it's a

"rub" versus a "bruise", padding doesn't really help. Does anyone have any

suggestions?

1. Don't do the exercises.

 

2. I tried placing my hands under my buttocks and that raised my tail bone

off the floor a bit so it didn't rub so much. Maybe padding under the two

buttocks and not under the tailbone.

 

3. There are plenty of exercises and kriyas. maybe it is time to switch.

 

SAt Nam,
