Slowly, very slowly, I am feeling improvement. I proceed forward, however timidly, like a young deer setting foot out in an open field. I know I am vulnerable to another backwards spiraling. I just can’t afford that. I take two step forward, and hold my breath…
For the first time in several days, I rolled out my mat. With compassion and awareness, I began moving from one resting pose to another. When I felt my tendon pull, I relaxed body and mind, then moved my focus to my breathing. I didn’t force, didn’t pull. I invited and watched. There wasn’t much more I could do.
It would seem that this is going to be a long test in patience for me. Nonetheless, I have an appointment for some body work tomorrow and a chiropractic appointment on Monday.
