Sat Nam,
I have practiced KY for over 10 years and committed to Yoga Teacher Training in September (Hatha approach).
Two and a half months ago I was diagnosed with Costochondritis. Inflammation due to a separation from the rib to the cartilage. This injury or illness (as the cause cannot be determined in my case) has incapacitated me on many levels. Just a couple weeks ago I had to let go of my schooling to regroup for the new September session. The acceptance of this delay, the pain I am experiencing, the realization that we (I) create our own illnesses, has been part of my process now. In short, I am grieving, am evaluating my lifestyle, and am searching through my basic core issues.
I feel like I am at the beginning (which, really I am).
I am looking for advice, suggestions, ideas or kriyas that will not trigger pain in the ribs and gently with self forgiveness boost my first three chakras of grounding, power and energy.
Plus any ideas what to do with inflammation. I am a vata body type, artist.
Help?
Thank you in advance
Namaste
Jeanette
