But I haven't figured out how to relax my hips. Maybe working on that to do list will help them loosen up.8thdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17139355263412766126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931021721708713850.post-15626722084021815702014-03-04T15:01:16.751-05:002014-03-04T15:01:16.751-05:00Thanks Sue.

Years ago when I used to do Reiki my practitioner told me that my throat chakra was blocked. Through therapy I think I have loosened that up a little. And now the sacral. I am a never ending challenge : )<8thdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17139355263412766126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931021721708713850.post-65784511186956738012014-03-04T00:03:57.036-05:002014-03-04T00:03:57.036-05:00I am learning about your horrible assault and I ad...I am learning about your horrible assault and I admire you so much.

Ok, it might take more than just the intention, but now that you are aware of it, you will make it happen. I know this about you.<br /><br />Look at you: yoga classes! AND! HAPPY RETIREMENT!

You yourself know how having a positive attitude goes a long way in the healing process. I know very little about Yoga but knowing how determined you are to be whole, if you want to achieve this pose I have no doubt that you will.
