[QUOTEEstar, today I went to the pool and floated and walked, and worked a little muy abs and let my arms just be, and I realized how afraid I am, so opportunity to learn to be gentle. It is so hard not to swim, fortunately my teacher is amazing! She repeated, feel the water covering your body, just stay there! Later I asked her it was nice to have those mindful reminders, and she asked, what is Mindfulness?
Unconditioning , what a process !
Thank you!

That you are undoing the conditioning that creates that pain. I know this personally because I am a swimmer (not so much anymore) and I greatly restricted my swimming for fear of headache triggers caused by free style strokes.

I started by doing what ever stroke didn't hurt. Some days I just stretched and played in the water. Little by little, I was eventually swimming laps for an hour.

You can do it! TMS healing isn't an exact science - it's a dance of figuring out when to push yourself - and when to nurture.[/QUOTE]
