Pain in knees

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam All,

 

2 years back, I was doing a lot of joging and other exercises

to loose extra weight. I lost 20kg weight then,

but now I got trouble in my knees. they are hurting a lot. I am

taking medication from an Aurvedh expert, but still I want to

know if there is any asanas or meditation, which can help me

to cure it fast.

 

I am practising yoga and meditation almost everday.

Dear Parminder:

 

The pain in knees is not just due to jogging, although it probably

accelerated the process. It is also due to tension and, in my

experience so far, knees tend to be associated with relationship

issues. The left knee with the female side, and the right knee, the

male side.

 

So I would recommend to slow down on exercising the knees and instead

spend time meditating on your relationships to see them as they are.

Which ones involve the most tension for you? Then learn to forgive.

Forgiveness is when you no longer need to forgive because you

understand why what happened needed to happen.

 

Blessings, Awtar

"knees tend to be associated with relationship

issues. The left knee with the female side, and the right knee, the

male side."

how so? what led you to this conclusion, and can you explain further?

Why be difficult, when, with a little more effort, you can be bloody impossible?

Dear Krysta:

 

Whenever I have a problem that lingers with a part of my body, I feel

deeply what is going on with it in relationship with the rest of my

body. And I find how it relates to experiences in my life. The more

chronic the problem, the harder it is to find out because it is

something I have struggle all my life, meaning I have come to accept

something as OK when it really isn't so how am I to find out what it

is? I sometimes ask for help from others. And sometimes it is just

about asking God for help often enough!

 

There is a deep relationship between our body and specific issues in

our life. Some are quite obvious "cold feet", "losing one's voice" etc

and some are less obvious like knee pain or knee tears.

 

I have also looked at it that way when I help my clients or students.

I am yet to find a person for whom their knee issues aren't related to

relationships.

 

Try it for yourself!

Namaste',

In reading your response, I noticed you mentioned cold feet. Could you

explain the cause of them? Thank you.

Peace,

Sat Nam to All,

 

Awtar-ji, thank you again for your subtle insight and wisdom.

 

When I was 18 years old, my parents recently divorced, family members

caught in their various methods of dealing with their lives, classically

disfunctional, my mother asked me to leave house. I did and severed

communication with her for nearly a year. Shortly afterwards I fell,

dislocating my left knee which required surgery. The knee pain and

stiffness has been a part of my life to varying degrees since then.

In the past week it has been worse. I have heard of the association of

knees and relationships, but until this morning, never pinpointed the

cause(s) in my life. As I was tuning in this morning, I was wondering

if

I was the female my relationship issue involved and suddenly I had the

answer! I have forgiven my mother long ago, understanding she was

acting according to her life path at the time. I had not come to the

absolute understanding that we both played a necessary part in the

dance of our karma. There was incredible release of tension, trembling

and shaking, in both legs from the hips down in a couple of postures

in my sadhana and afterwards my body was more limber and not pain

free, but substantially less pain. A few essential oils for releasing

energy played their beautiful roles in this!

 

Blessings.

Deb:

 

Are you familiar with the expression "having cold feet?"

 

That expression is usually used for someone who resists moving forward

with something, not because that person has feet that are cold. If one

is not aware that they have a resistance to moving toward a certain

direction in their life, then their feet can actually become icy cold.

 

Mine were!... until a healing session brought it all together for me

and my feet remained warm for the rest of the day! I was laying on a

massage table and the "healer" made me aware that my feet were cold.

The energy toward them was blocked somewhere and we could not figure

out where it was cut off. It seemed to be around my ankles but we

could not "open up" the energy gates so my feet would get warm. So she

shifted her attention and was drawn to my lower back. I was holding my

back up off the table. It was hard to let the table support me. I

became aware that I was scared that the world, the physical world,

would not support me. It was emotionally very challenging. When I was

able to let my back be supported by the table, my feet warmed up.

 

My fear was that no matter what I'd do, the world would not support

me. So I was scared of making any move! And my feet were icy cold!

Dear Awtar,

 

Thank you once again for your insight . May I ask if you know what would be the cause/relationship of lower back problems more specifically "piriformis syndrome" a condition in which the piriformis muscle irritates the sciatic

nerve, causing pain in the buttocks and along the sciatic nerve - the pain is deep in the buttocks, which is made worse by sitting, climbing stairs. I have been diagnosed with this condition and have been doing yoga exercises to help, but have not experienced much relief as of yet. Do you think there are specific issues I must work on that could be relevant to help in alleviating this condition. thank you in advance.

 

namaste...

Dear Parminder

You have asked some exercises which could remove your knee pain.

Please standup and bend slightly and keep yoy right hand palm on you right knee and your lift hand palm on your left knee. Rotate your knees with palms on 12 times clockwise and 12 times anticlockwise. I am sure your problem will be solved within 10 days of performing this practice.

With regards.

Yours,

VIJAY BISHNOI

Sat Nam,

 

Interesting! Were your hands also cold? I have little icebergs at the

ends of my

arms and legs which I have always attributed to poor circulation. I

have consciously

relaxed and 'breathed' blood into by hands on occasion, but never into

my feet.

Dear Jessica:

 

I would like to use your situation as a teaching tool for everyone

interested to learn. I am a teacher more than anything and I would

like to show you what you can do on your own.

 

First forget about the medical terms. They may be useful, but first I

want you to feel and relax and simplify. The way you describe your

pain "the pain is deep in the buttocks", you almost have a very common

expression that people use. Do you recognize that expression? When you

do, ask yourself a question about it in relation to your life.

 

Concerning the sciatic nerve I know of no expression so I'll tell you

what a healer in Chinese medicine told me: The sciatic nerves flare up

in people who are rigid about what's good and what's bad, what's right

and what's wrong. It is about blaming. If that applies to you then

look in to it if not we'll have to look somewhere else. Meditate and

let your meditation tell you what is.

 

Best wishes and blessings, Awtar

Sat Nam All,

thanks to all of you for your kind suggestions.

It is true that I have gone thru a relationship

issue. But this pain was there before that issue. But

it

became worse after that.

 

I will try to do the meditation to get rid of it.

 

Thanks again.

Parminder:

 

If the pain was there before the relationship you are thinking of,

then you need to look for a relationship you had prior to when the

pain started, perhaps one or both of your parents. The recent

relationship was in a way an echo of the previous relationship issue.

You have been dealing with this issue for a while, sometimes it takes

several relationships that hurt before we see more clearly. And they

bring us back to an earlier time.

Dear Guru Gopal:

 

Well at times my hands have been slow to warm up, but I never saw it

as a problem like my feet. My hands were very clammy when I was

younger (teenager to college). But at some point they stopped being

clammy. And I already knew then that they were clammy because I was

worried. So that was easier to deal with. I learned to recognize it

when I worried and to calm down.

 

Poor circulation is just a symptom, the result of the emotional or

energy block.

 

Instead of trying to change it, try feeling the icebergs and what they

are trying to say. Accept yourself as you are. Then you will learn to

hear your story, and when you learn to hear your own story, you will

have a deeper access to human nature. You will be able to hear others

beyond the words they choose. It is a fascinating journey!

 

Blessings,

Awtar

Hi,

 

Just a tip for those who suffer knee, neck, back or other pains, I would like to advise an excellent book about massage : The trigger point therapy workbook by Claire Davies.

Suffering from back and hip pain, my doctor said I would have to live with it and take painkiller drugs. No way! Gladly I found this book which proposes very simple massage techniques on the points that send the pain to other parts of the body. Revolutionnary! It's like an atlas of the body, very easy to use. Maybe you can reach these points by meditation, I did a couple of Vipassana retreats and I wonder if I didn't get rid of some of these points then. Anyway, massage and meditation go very well together, I sometimes explain meditation as a massage of the body by the mind.

Namaste' Awtar,

Your response regarding cold feet was so accurate. Emotional support has been

an issue I am balancing. Since returning from Nepal, I have been guided to

stop teaching yoga, write a book and share a business idea with a friend. A new

direction in my life.

Your personal experience was compassionate. I appreciate your sharing it.

Have you resolved your cold feet issue? Turning to higher consciousness for

support has been comforting when the support does not appear in the physical realm.

Also, a daily self nurturing, a special treat, of massaging the feet before

bed with oil or lotion has been delightful.

Peace,

Deb
