Getting healthy, hopefully

I have been unwell now since August 2009, with Fibromyalgia that was diagnosed at the end of February 2010.

I have been reading this week about the mind body connection, how what we think affects our body; and about yoga in a book called "Yoga as medicine", by Timothy McCall. The yoga book was a lucky find at the library - it has sections on yoga as therapy for specific ailments including Fibromyalgia- yay!

Tonight I did the legs against the wall posture, and Savasana, or corpse posture, both supported with pillows and folded towels so it was less painful (as the book suggested). In Savasana, I used the So Hum breathing, to help relax. After doing the legs against the wall, my hips felt more relaxed and less painful.

I now have some hope for getting better.
