two interesting situations

[Guest guest]

Sat nam everyone.

 

One of my students came to me and asked if there anything she could to

prevent the lost of hearing that occurs with age. Already she has

ringing occurring in her inner ear. My understanding is that this is

simply part of life. However, if anyone knows of what can be done, I

would greatly appreciate it.

 

I had another student today who came for her first class. She is of

aboriginal decent and mentioned that in that culture, sitting in easy

pose with the genitals exposed is not encouraged. So much of what we

do is in easy pose. Has anyone else heard of this? How should I

approach this? I mentioned that most positions can be done in a

chair, in rock pose or with the legs straight out in front of her.

 

I look forward to your suggestions,

For the first situation, refer her to a skilled doctor of ayurveda or chinese

medicine. There are herbs that could help this. She could also, of course,

practice ra ma da sa for healing.

 

For the second case, I agree with the student. Sitting with the genitals

exposed in class isn't appropriate, unless the class is clothing-optional. Have

her wear pants or a skirt, or drape a blanket over her lap.
