I have often wondered why I could tolerate 20 hours of labor with my firstborn, including three hours of pushing and a vacuum extraction, with an epidural only during the last two centimeters of active labor. I have also wondered how it is that I am up and about so quickly after every surgery I have ever had, including my c-section with my secondborn.<BR/><BR/>I hear you about the monkey mind, and you and my other commentators are putting the FEAR in me, believe me. I don't mind at all being called out for not treating my body with the same love and compassion that I ask my student to treat their own bodies with...<BR/><BR/>xo,<BR/><BR/>LaurenYoga Chickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01370141306007721604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13149662.post-1125426394382487692005-08-30T14:26:00.000-04:002005-08-30T14:26:00.000-04:00Lauren,Have you considered that you have a high pa...Lauren,<BR/>Have you considered that you have a high pain tolerance? I had a c-section with one of my kids and there is no way I could have done primary for about the first 2 months. <BR/><BR/>I'm really worried that you're going to rip out some internal stitches and your tummy tuck will be for naught. <BR/><BR/>What does attempting any asana that's asking your muscles to stretch serve? Your soul, your body or your mind? I'm sorry for the armchair psychology but I honestly feel that your monkey mind is asking to be served, instead of listening to the concept of Ahimsa and applying that to yourself. <BR/><BR/>Truly, with lovevivagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869897494047218024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13149662.post-1125425676260440772005-08-30T14:14:00.000-04:002005-08-30T14:14:00.000-04:00i hear you...believe me, i have seriou reservation...i hear you...believe me, i have seriou reservations about doing much of anything at this point i feel lucky that nothing has gone wrong so far. i do have good instincts about what my body can handle though, and i have been through this drill numerous times already. i promise to be judicious about what i do, and when to hold back. i don't want to ruin the beautiful work my doctor did...Yoga Chickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01370141306007721604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13149662.post-1125424846988215732005-08-30T14:00:00.000-04:002005-08-30T14:00:00.000-04:00you are setting yourself up for complications with...you are setting yourself up for complications with your surgery. i think you should let your doctor see exactly what your doing in primary series, and see what he has to say about it. its so easy for a person to trick themselves into thinking that they are not over doing it, and i fear that you are doing just that. i sincerely hope that nothing goes awry, please take care of yourself. yoga isnt going anywhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
