hmm, not sure about the policy here on necro-posting, but i figure i may as well just revive this thread instead of starting a whole new one...

 

This just in:

 

- MY KNEES DON'T HURT ANYMORE !!! -

 

a couple of weeks ago, i noticed that the knee pain which had plagued me for the past fifteen years, is completely absent!

YAY !

i have been practicing conscious walking more and more, it's becoming second nature, so to speak.

and apparently it's paying off : )

lately i've been able to skateboard, play lots of footbag(hackysack),

ride bikes *the way i actually want to* (see: "bmx street")

and i actually got to snowboard Mt Hood this past season!

so i'm unspeakably relieved and joyful about this

thank you for your replies in this thread, they were very helpful!

much love and Light and bliss to all the TaoBums <3

this really tickled me, thank you

: )

oh well, here's five now

all fingers accounted for

wait...who's hand is this???

is 'ever' in flux?

endlessly running cycles

what a strange mind...

it feels like the "dialogue" with self

and the conversations with 'others'

are melding together as parts of the same process

but i suppose that's getting ahead...

i just realized that seeking is what separates

literally, seeking something from the universe is what provides the feeling of separation

thank you Alan Watts !

EDIT: i wonder, then, about my desire to contribute to, or "give back" to the universe...this must be the same thing, no?

All cuddly am i

and yet full of confusion

who's driving this thing!?

aye, it feels lovely to be bare footed

however, i live in a rainforest...it's just not practical most of the time

i have been walking alot lately, and it feels like i'm getting better;

less pain, and prolonged ease of movement

feels good ^__^

thanks for your replies!

the triangle is Flexibility, Endurance, Strength

all three must be in balance

let's see....for recovery -- full body, low impact, low intensity -- go swimming

or...

start playing footbag! it's aces, i tell ya

focus on cardio and flexibility, and be gentle, that will quicken your recovery

thank you all so much for your replies

it will be an interesting and informative process no doubt

hmm, curious that you bring that up Zhang, because i almost always feel weight on my knees

i guess i have alot to learn!

although i don't follow the spiritual path of the Sikh, i am totally in love with their music, expecially this singer...isn't she just divine?

anyway, at night, under the moon, i like to 'trip out' and 'zone in' but in the morning, under the sun, i like my warm fuzzy sunshine music : )

~breathe free~

 

 

--------------------------

 

Too much beauty to keep to myself !!

 

although i -also- don't follow the spiritual path of krsna devotee, i really love some of their music:

probably the most beautiful song i've ever heard, my heart melts every time:

Karnamrita Devi Dasi - Yamunastakam

 

Karnamrita Devi Dasi - Meerabai

 

The Shaivites however, i agree with on more levels

Uma Mohan is a long time favorite of mine

Uma Mohan - Namaskaratha

 

Uma Mohan - Narayana Strotram

 

Uma Mohan - Mahishasura Mardhini Astakam

 

another favorite of mine is Deva Premal

Deva Premal - Om Mani Padme Hum

Solar Fields - Blue Moon Station (full album)

 

this is what i love about these interwebs

there's a song for every one of my moods, and they're all on youtube!

Solar Fields is probably one of the very closest to my essence(in this lifetime, anyhow)

i really, really love downtempo chillout trance / IDM ... helps me not to overheat ^____^

more to come soon...

yeah beliefs are dangerous...

i think it was Krishnamurti who said that to observe without evaluating is the highest form of human intelligence

it's not easy, but it is simple

: )

the heavens shine down

downward, or is it upward?

strug'ling to let go....

ah yes it is very nice to hear this, it affirms what i have been intuitively practicing, i.e. not locking my knees and walking soft (being a ninja in the forest >

unfortunately for comfort's sake, my legs are the only transportation i have, save for a skateboard which isn't usually practical and i don't feel like carrying it around

so i sort of have to walk miles a day

to be clear, is it best to roll around the outer edge of my foot as i stride? that's what i've been doing because it seems to help

thank you so much for your replies ^__^

mmmm what a yummy thread

 

CT i love your posts, thank you

 

one thing's for sure...

whatever reality 'is' certainly is not always comfortable (for me) so it's about acceptance and working with what i've got

we all walk the path at our own pace, and it's beautiful when we can help others to see more clearly, which is why i love this website : )

~

its 99% emptiness generating the illusion of solidity.

 

its actually one thing experiencing itself subjectively as us and the web of life.

 

there is very little about reality that isn't illusory, even outright illusion, in some major way.

 

just don't get lost in the reality of nonreality and forsake your illusory responsibilities.

 

XD

YES

+1

 

indeed, existence is a dream

we are all creating the universe, together, whether or not we are aware of it;

e.g. we are unconsciously creating on many levels and consciously creating on few, and that ratio is currently changing for the 'better'

(at least this is how it appears from our silly human point of view, inside time and karma and all that good stuff)
