Rheumatoid Arthristis pain coming on strong

Jul 8

Woke up hot around 4 plus. Switched on air cond and slept till alarm at 5.10 am. Body all swelling especially right elbow. Right knee still painful.
Yesterday night didn't take tumeric. And also could be the durian cake.

Did Bhuta Shuddi and head shaking non stop. Looks like the Moola mantra cd by Sadhguru energised the place further.

Did cat stretch. Not as painful.
Did Yogasasanas. Quite good. Knee pain has reduced considerably.
Lying down posture was good. Now able to hold 30 breathe count for the two legs up. The chest and legs up posture also good.

Shakti was quite good. Knee pain very little. Almost negligible. I was singing at the end and dancing too. Today able to do the leg pain, very little pain.

Shambavi is good. Towards the end I was singing and then crying. Energy is good today. Must be the mantra for consecration.
Suddenly a tot came. Why don't I make myself as a consecrated body. With a consecrated body energy is high, RA evaporates.

I cried with gratitude to Sadhguru. Yesterday suddenly switched on the mantra cd. I sat with the cd being played till the end. The mantra can help to energise.
I can't rely on my body to overcome RA but energy I know can do. So let's energised myself.

Try to use the cd in my car but alas can't recall how to operate. It been more than a year since I last switched on my car audio.

Just had pesto vegetable pasta. Saw the cheese and wanted to remove cos my diet is no diary. But it taste better with the cheese. Put back in. Are two third but finished all the greens.
Now full. But too oily for me.
Mmmm with the change in diet I may have to make my own meal.
Today didn't order dessert. Order Rooibos instead of Early Grey.
Will take honey water later as alternative. Yea, got cake at office. I m still a dessert fan.
As a start will eat more greens.
Today I know I prefer bread over pasta.


Sadhguru
Vibhuti is usually applied at the anahata so that you receive life as love. It is applied at the vishuddhi so that you receive life as power; power does not mean just physical or mental power, there are so many ways in which a human being can be powerful. The idea is to make the life energies very strong and powerful so that your very presence has an influence on life around you – you don’t have to speak or act – if you simply sit, you influence the situation around you. This kind of power can be developed within a human being. Vibhuti is applied at the agna so that you receive life as knowledge.


Soul
When I did practice today I tot I might as well be a consecrated body.
I also came to the realisation that my sadhana is my value. It is what I valued most, even more than food. As long as I can do my sadhana 4 hours a day I am happy.
In order to do all my sadhana I need my body. So I need to heal myself from RA. I m thankful I can do Yogaasanas, Shakti and Shambavi despite can't walk much. I miss Surya Kriya and Angamardhana

So I m ready to let go of food. Never tot I said this. But what I know is that Sadhana is my priceless. It makes me happy.
 I don't need RA.
So if food is the one that preventing me from having healthy body for Sadhana then I m ready to change.

This come timely as I be shifting out in Mid August.
