Have a question for those of you who have been at Ti chi or Yoga for a while.

Do you ever find your body fighting you? I have been at Ti Chi for almost six months now and I am finding lately that my body is fighting me on being aligned. I feel very good when I am aligned and breathing properly-but over the past --say--week and a half-my body tends to want to pull to one side-back to the way it was before -I have also been getting some sharp pains between my sholders about an hour or so after I do my  routines.

Has anyone any advice?

thank you much ! Where do I read about thease things--I know that my brain is part of it. After doing things one way for 51 years, it seems like my brain would object to changeing.

By the way -since I wrote the post. the pain has let up and things are settleing down. Still I will look into the things that you suggested OGG.

He who is sick of sickness is not sick.

Lao Tzu

I have been still pressing forward--I started to read a book called "The way of Quygung"

The main thing I have to fight is that little voice in my head that tries to tell me that being good to myself is a "sin" . I hung around in fundamentlist circles for the bulk of my life. Then there is the other thing that my mind tries to pull on me--It goes something like this.

"Ok-you've had your fun eating right and have lost some weight--so you think you diserve to be healthly???? The Party's over---Let's get back to normal--being sick and tired!"

This always whines in a (and I mean No offence to anyone) in that weedling jewish momma voice.

But I am not so old that I think I know everything-and that I can say NO to the voices that have run my life.
