Lesson 159: Lean Into Pain

Today’s lesson is about leaning into whatever pain you have – to go deeper and understand the patterns before we go into a lock-down mode. There was a bit of a disclaimer to always seek out a professional to diagnose problems. Whatever exercise we do is not to replace a medical professional.

So, if we go further deeper into a pain, all I have is my back pain. I do not have an emotional pain to face at present as I have already dealt with mine. I do however have a problem in my lower left back and right shoulder blade. My pain comes about if I stand for too long, sit too long, lie down too long, walking about, dancing… it just get’s triggered. know the one thing that triggers it the most is lying on my back for too long, which is actually hard to manage as we all need to sleep right? If I don’t switch up positions, this can just wreck my back for days. The only thing I can do is practise the stretches I am supposed to in order to help alleviate it. I received these stretches from a osteopath and try to follow it in order to ease my suffering. This prevents my body from going into a complete spiral.

What pain did you look at today and understood it a little bit better?
