Punctured

My body’s falling apart. All the yoga, all the ego, all the poor posture while sitting on the floor or typing on the laptop, reading on the bed, all led to my neck and lower back being injured. So ironically, I hurt myself learning how to live and teach a healthy lifestyle.

It’s all part of the experience, of course, and I acknowledge it. Without these injuries, I wouldn’t get experience. Without the experience, I wouldn’t have noticed the injuries until they were too late.

Our anatomy teacher, Simon, helped me out. He cracked my C4 vertebra on Monday, instantly strengthening my right shoulder and relieving some neck pain. Some tightness lingered, so tonight he performed some acupuncture on my right hand, shoulders, and lower back. My neck’s range of motion increased and my shoulders and lower back relaxed.

I should sleep well tonight.
