Intro/Magickal Resume

[Firetree]

I actually have been considering it! My health issues include Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome which, among other things, affects my joints. I'm also hypermobile, so while I used to love yoga, I have to be very careful with it if I do it now because it's so easy for me to overextend and accidentally injure myself.

Thank you for the recommendation! I actually downloaded an app awhile ago just to try it out (I know it isn't the same as with a person to correct form), so on a day when I have more energy I'll definitely try it out!

Uh-huh !

I got 'frozen shoulder' .... 3 months in . Apparently it can last up to 2 years. Well known to be fairly painful . Just then I was trying some circular softer tai chi movements .

- Burn through the pain ( apparently one has to keep moving ) .

....
Tai Chi. Yes, the slow art that old chinese do in the park. Ever seen it speeded-up to full speed? It's serious martial art.

I trained for years (old style Okinawan karate and kobudo ) at the riverside park in town ... oh yeah , and I am old (not Chinese though ) . My fav training partner was also a tai-chi instructor . A lot of it ( 'speeded up and serious' ) was used , but also, that style's techniques (like any good all round good style ) a lot were already similar to things found in tai chi , aikido , etc . They made great 'complimentaries ' to each other .

Ouch, that sounds painful!


Movement and such is good for me, as long as I'm careful. So maybe I'll stick to slower for awhile. I'm sorry that happened to you, but thank you for sharing your experience, too. It definitely sounds like something that would be beneficial for me!

I just realized that my original reply started with your reply. I personally haven't done Bo, I don't know how I ended up copying part of your reply! Apologies for the misunderstanding.

And this time it didn't reply at all. That was directed towards Selim. Please forgive me, my only excuse is that I am dealing with a days long migraine currently, haha.
