True healing requires a slower pace. I'm one of those rare people who have scoliosis that began at birth. I didn't know why my ribs were different on the left side vs right side of my rib cage. My family doctor just said "you were born that way" as if that's all we needed to know.
When I was 21, I had a full body X-ray for a job that required a government security clearance and that's the first time I found out I had scoliosis. This was in 1980. Fast forward to now and I know so much more about scoliosis than most people will ever want to know. I've injured myself doing too much or too fast of the wrong thing for my structure and one time a bike accident. I've also healed myself with help from alternative therapies and yoga numerous times. 1. Healing takes place slowly 2. True healing requires addressing all areas of life 3. Consistent and slow progress is sustainable 4. Quick fixes do not work, nor do they stick (unsustainable) 5. Nature heals 6. Healing requires emotional reflection/work 7. Healing requires a deeper connection with people 8. Connection with your Self, Soul, spirituality and faith is also a requirement for healing. 9. Stay open to coincidences when seeking healing. (The right next step will show up when you're looking/ready) 10. Healing yourself is a lifetime endeavor This self healing work is essential for everyone around you. If you want to change anything outside of yourself, your Self is the place to focus that change and healing. Practice consistently and over a long period of time is yoga. An interpretation of the 14th Sutra in Patanjali's yoga sutras (1:14) says " Success can definitely be achieved via sound and continuous practice over an extended period of time, carried out in a serious and thoughtful manner. ||14||" Healing works the same way. Go slow, do something good for yourself every single day.
