back near the end of 2009 (sept.) i was in a car accident and ended with this chronic right hip pain

at Pranas advice i sarted doing some easy yoga learning how to do diahphramic breathing (which isnt easy let me tell ya its taken up to just about now to really get it right lol )

the last few days pineapples have been really cheap so ive been making some incredibly fab pineapple banana spinach spring water smoothies to die for i think i could live on them forever lol

this morning after i was done yoga and laying on my matt doing these very concentrated 108 breaths ... without moving .. *CLICK* went my right hip .. and *WOOSH* went ... ??? hmmm blood flow maybe ? Chi? Energy?? (hopefully not a blood clot making its way to my brain for a stroke session haha)

lol but dang does it feel really good right now ... no more numby/tingly feeling on the outside of my thigh , i can shift weight to my right leg without agony .. its just GONE !

persistance pays off .. im guilty of being the everloving sceptic with no patience looking for the quick fix ...

im feeling a very grateful warm fuzzy at the moment

Thats great Jodi, i never get bored of hearing natural success stories.

!!!!

Did you know pineapple is a strong anti-inflammatory? You might get some benefit from turmeric Jo. Keep up the pineapple (you can freeze if for smoothies later on) and blueberries, both great for inflammation.

Pineaples are too acidic to be used in green smoothies

Ahhhhhhh.....

I felt relief just reading that

and am feeling very happy for you.

Thats great news Jodi. Your persistence and commitment and relentlessness and patience has paid off big time here. Sweet.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY im glad its helped you feel better <3

Jodi's feelin' better, so I'm feelin' better--isn't it great how that works?

LOL I got so excited to read this that I only wrote !!! instead of the Yippee! I was feeling .
So let me say it out loud, woo hoo Jodi! So glad to hear that this happened for you. Wonderful success, most excellent.

This is great news! Sure am happy for you. Way to go =).

Hey thanks all , just home from work and after sitting all day im still feeling great

normally i would be shifting my weight all day to my left butt to ease the pressure on my right but not today .. i was all good to go .. banging off tax files like no tomorrow

no pain ..no un-comfortableness

I hope im not over celebrating too soon but i think continueing with the morning yoga and breathing before work will keep things in alignment

the hardest part was making the effort to make the habit .. once it became habit it becames effortless to just get up an do it !

i never realized how shallow a breather i was untill really figuring out how to really BREATheeeeeeeeeeeeeee ...lol once making it a habit to check myself ..i find i tend to hold my breath quite alot ..very strange

hi jodi
for some weird reason
i thought you ALWAYS did yoga
maybe it was just the vibes u gave off
or the banana eating monk pic that made me think u were a yogini

anyhoo

great to hear you are doing well
awesome!

Thanks LaV i have always done yoga in some form or another but never on a daily intense basis for any purpose or another always sporadically the last year and a bit i have really put alot of intention into doing it and making it a daily habit
