Time to let go of Rheumatoid Arthistis

Nov 3
Woke up okay at 3.48 am, feel slight stiffness on my middle back.
Did Bhuta Shuddhi followed by singing Guru pooja.
Cat stretch was better than norm due to guru pooja. Able to do ten breathe count instead of eight
Did Angamardhana which is quite good despite middle back pain. Couldn't do that asanas that strain the back. So no pushing out leg postures and couldn't do the both leg up at 45 degree posture. Couldn't even do the last standing posture nor the kundalini yoga.
Just did breathe watching, it was good.
Did Shakti, 120 cycles but no bending forward rests in between. I want to keep the Shakti posture. Went in deep.
Did Shambavi with corrected cat stretch. It was good.

To overcome the challenges of being an Empaths
Challenge
2. Knowing Self: Sense you spend so much time experiencing the subtleties around you, you spend more time out than in your body. Taking time to center and be fully in your own body, in your own thoughts is important. This is a big piece that will be needed to establish boundaries.

To overcome the challenges, you must become flexible, comfortable with change and know how to flow with your experience not against. Learning about yourself, how you are wired and how to assess and adjust your responses to what you are perceiving will help you achieve balance. Part of this will be developing a daily practice that will strengthen your empathic muscles and give you a sort of reset button.

Suddenly tot that this recent joints pain and now the slight back pain is a lesson for me to go with the flow.
I didn't want my body to disrupt my practices.
The previous Saturday after the slight injury on my back, I should have go easy on Yogasanas but instead I went full force. So from one section now expanded to three section.

Miss whole Angamardhana and Surya Kriya today.
Have not slide in my sadhana despite joints pain.
Alas this is the first time that I do.
Resting for one week on Surya Kriya. Didn't expect this.
Need to be more aware of my body.

Are there any benefits u gain from ur difficulty? Does it makes u feel special? Does it makes u feel loved and cared for? Does it mean u are a failure? Does it makes u feel guilty? What effects is it having on ur rships? Is it getting u out of doing something?

I have never avoided RA. Never denied it a space as back then only minor joints problem and there is no change to my diet. So RA was something I can leave it especially since I am not so physical orientated and tend to dislike exercise. RA was the perfect cover. Little did they know that even without RA I can't play as I seems to have disjointed neuron function. I can't seem to receive and hit ball properly.
And RA is the reason that I persevere in my sadhana. Hence my blog, suffering is blessing.
Cause me to change my diet due to cholestrol scare.
The coffee was more on Samyama but alas coffee is not good for RA which is also good for sadhana.

How would u feel if someone offers the cure? Would u accept the cure?

A few months ago I said I can live with RA but not now.
Now the numerous and continuous joints pain after Kailash is more onerous and it us disrupting my hata yoga.
Now it says sugar also not good for me. Desserts is my pleasure.
Now that I enjoy hata yoga as it keep me fit, let me eat all that I want without gaining weight, I want to do all. I no longer need RA to push me.
So for the first time I m not okay with living with RA.
