Re: [Kundalini Yoga] KY for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Sat Nam,

The easiest and most effective way to strengthen the area is to excersise the hands. If you hold your arms in front of you palms facing up and arms straight. Clasp the hands into a fist and then release. Do this rapidly as fast as you can and for as long as you can. It is almost like clapping without the hands touching each other. Do everyday and keep a diary of results.

Blessings,

Goldie Singh.

I am not a doctor but I did get myself better from RSI.

Muscular Skeletal Disorders are problems where excess tension and other things cause a whole range of problems including various RSI's, Back Ache and I think I recall De Quervain's. There is a common underlying problem with all these things. Fixing that is supposed to work better than addressing the specific symptoms which is what most doctors try to do. Yoga did this very well for me.

My web page http://www.keithkyoga.me.uk/rsi.php
tells how I got better from RSI and has links to the three web sites of people that gave me the understanding of how to help myself.
Try Sharon Butler's site first.

Best wishes,
Keith

Turn your hands 90 degrees inwards so they are facing each other. Your thumbs should be nearly facing the ground. Just wiggle your thumbs for a few minutes back and forth and it should rectify the problem within a few weeks. Do the excersise everyday for a few minutes when you get time.

[Kundalini Yoga] Re: Question for Kundalini yogis who do Structural Integration or Heller work

> I recently had a series of structural integration done. My practitioner advised me that doing lots of exercises like leg lifts is not good for the body structure, because it shortens the muscles in the abdomen/upper thigh (psoas for sure, and others too).

I cant advise about structural integration but I have tried quite a few 'modalities' and there are a lot of people giving advice coming from different spiritual/religious beliefs and different 'scientific' beliefs that aren't necessarily very scientific. Also many people give advice that is affected by commercial prejudice ie. Don't go there for help come to me.

There is also advice that is honest but mis-guided and advice that is totally correct.

And there is often no way to tell the difference except your own intuition. !

From my experience the Kundalini yoga kriyas even if taken out of any religious or spiritual context come from people who had a very deep understanding of human functioning, way beyond what western somatic practitioners know about. If you use them with common sense and follow instructions correctly you are very unlikely to harm yourself unless you aggravate an existing medical condition.

I have never heard of exercise risking shortening muscle but am only a layman. The movement in K yoga encourages the release of long held tension and freeing up of the fascia - that is healthy lengthening. I think this is also what Hellerwork etc works for to - but in K yoga they have figured out how you can do it for yourself.

Yoga / meditation that encourages you to discover and develop your internal awareness leads you to become your own expert on yourself.

These other things can help though - A buddhist group I really respect in England uses them to help. I can't really afford that sort of stuff though.

Keith.

Re: [Kundalini Yoga] Question for Kundalini yogis who do Structural Integration or Heller work

Sat Naaaam!
You're missing a huge, huge point in this discussion. In Kundalini
Yoga, when we "Tune In" with the Adi Mantra.....deeply, the fruits and gems of this magnificent vessel called the human body begin to open. The tightnesses and tensions have a root in our mind, our subconscious. We DO the posture, kriya or action and then we BE at rest and integrate.

"Nothing in the world can purify as powerfully as Wisdom:
Practiced as Yoga. You will find this wisdom within yourself
- Bhagavad Gita 4.38

Bless,
Dharam Singh

RE: [Kundalini Yoga] Question for Kundalini yogis who do Structural Integration or Heller work

Hi, I'm not Structural Integration practitioner but from a physiotherapist point of view, "shortening" of the flexor group through repetitive flexor dominant exercises is possible but unlikely unless these were the only type of exercises done with no regard to extension or rotation. If anything in treating people with shortened hip flexors, the likely cause has been those having a job that involves predominantly sitting, or pts with weakness and debility who are in prolonged sitting as unable to stand, or athletes esp. sprinters who have hip flexor tightness d/t heavy loads lifted in training and nature of their sport that requires to produce huge explosive power in their flexors, of course there is always those that have a natural postural bias to flexor tightness. Just my input and not complete, but my advice would be start your kriya. It really is about balance in all planes of movement. James

Subject: [Kundalini Yoga] Question for Kundalini yogis who do Structural Integration or Heller work

Hi

I recently had a series of structural integration done. My practitioner advised me that doing lots of exercises like leg lifts is not good for the body structure, because it shortens the muscles in the abdomen/upper thigh (psoas for sure, and others too). I was wondering if there is anyone trained in structural integration, heller work, or a similar deep body work that works on the connective tissue, who also does kundalini yoga and could comment from personal experience - I would like to start nabhi kriya again, but now I am wondering if it would counteract the work I had done. Thank you.
