My healing process with Lyme disease and Thrombosis
For the last 2 months I have pretty much been confined to being inside with my legs up! Good job I enjoy 'Viparita Karani', legs up the wall or “Viparita” means “reversal” in Sanskrit, “karani” means “form” or “action”. It hasn't exactly been like that as I couldnt keep my legs directly straight as both knees at one point were swollen & with thrombosis I was in alot of pain! However there was certainly alot of off the mat yoga practice that I had to embody whilst being indoors.
As a natural mover, cycling, hiking, yoga, climbing, dancing etc etc were all out, just making it up and down the stairs was a huge challenge, effort and came with alot of pain. So I surrended into settling down onto the sofa with a book or two.
The story of how I came to be in such a predicament when I thought as I healthy person who doesn't drink, is vege/ vegan for the last 33 years and generally has a very healthy lifestyle. How could I be in this position?
I will share more about my journey finding out and my recovery after I shared a Restorative Yoga practice I managed to record, when I had the energy! At this point both knees were swollen and I literally fell asleep whilst recording it!
