Guest guest Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 Sat Nam I wanted to thank all of you who replied to my posting. It was wonderful to get up this morning and read all your messages. I will be writing back to all of you. For those of you who aren't familiar with my particular situation, I had back surgery on my lumbar area about 4 years ago. I am doing fine but I still have some permanent paralysis. I do have another question for all of you. When I try to do root lock, I have a hard time. I'm not sure if these 3 parts of my body just don't work together anymore or maybe they do and its just that I cannot feel it because of some neurological damage. I haven't seen anyone on this message board who has had a similar problem, but also I don't know too many people who had back surgery who do yoga. Anyway, should I just keep doing root lock as if I can feel the whole thing and maybe I will eventually be able to? Oh, one other thing. This just show you how much I read your message board but don't write. I remember Soniya. She was from India and she had a 18 day old baby. She needed help because she had not gotten any sleep and she had no family here. I specifically remember her because I sent her a phone number for a gudwara in her area. Someone on the list did volunteer to help her.. She was in Brea, CA., which is in Orange County, south of LA. I don' t have her e-mail address any longer, as that was a little while ago. Many blessing to all of you, Gina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 Hello Gina, The movements and postures that we are not able to perform are all about intention. We stay safe while getting as close as we can - and invision the root lock (or what ever) in our minds just as though we are doing it. Energy follows thought. I was in an accident quite some time ago and my lower back is now a tad bit deformed as a result. The same would go for people in wheel chairs... Intention. You will be just fine with the root lock - Though you must be aware of all that you can within yourself - physically: Do not hurt yourself.
