My healing now requires that I begin physical therapy. For me, that means resuming my practice of mudras together with mantras. Forming my hand into sacred symbols as I chant is a practice I had to let go of until now.
At our winter solstice gathering, when my injury was fresh, I did my mudras for one last time with chanting. Returning to the practice, muscle memory stitches me back together, strengthening my atrophied tissues. Yoga practices continue to sustain me, as I refine and adjust them to my present needs.
How flexible can you be with your practices? When you let go of a practice, do you let yourself return to it when you are ready? Ki to Happiness uses hands and voice for sacred purposes when handstands and backbends are limited.
