And there’s always deeper layers and meaningfuln

And there’s always deeper layers and meaningfulness. Though there is clearly very tangible reasons for my hip “pathology” (as Western medicine would say), I am aware of the signification of the pelvis, the left side of my body, and of all the inner work I have been doing - for years, through so many avenues - to come into greater integrity around my feminine essence and presence, as a devotee of the Shakti, the Creative Force, as woman incarnate.

This stunning piece appeared just a few weeks ago, new work from the very talented @cedricvictor, and I knew it would mark this time of healing and consolidation. It arrived a couple of days after my surgery and I just hung it in my space. The rose symbolizes the divine feminine, as does water, and the circle. Also, my middle name is Rose. And wow, what an amazing tone of indigo!

I am very much in an in between space, as times of convalescence will bring forth. There’s always a shakedown, a dropping away, and an evolving of what’s to come. I know things will be different on the other side. Like literally, it might be a while or not ever that I can move my body in yoga like I did before this surgery. I am open to life’s continual transformation and wonder what will unfold in my offerings from moving through this time. I am being called deeper.

The stars twinkle in their mystery in the dark night sky. We come into form, encircled in limitless possibility.

~ Healing Update ~ Day 3 I am feeling really good

~ Healing Update ~
Day 3 I am feeling really good - minimal pain, and out of the anesthesia haze, which included hallucinations! I did my first PT session yesterday and am excited about how much I am allowed to move my body. And the more I do my exercises the better my hip and leg feels. Best of all I took my first shower today!

It’s notable how much time and energy it is taking me to just do the basics like getting fed, going to the bathroom, and tending to things around my space on these crutches. Healing from surgery really is a full time job. I can’t say I love wearing this brace - even to sleep at night - but this too shall pass. I am looking forward to the post-op visit next Monday to really have a sense of how long this healing process might be.

Time is strangely flying by. I am enjoying this unstructured time to tend to the moment and of course my recovery. I can do all I can to help it along, but healing just takes time. I am grateful that I can just truly be present with the only agenda to tend to my needs as they arise.

Thank you for your continued healing vibes and good wishes. It has been so amazing to receive so much love from you all. I am sending all that love right back! Keep celebrating your wondrous body and all that it does for you, and how it carries you along with such total dedication to the gift of your life.

~ Gratitude 11:11 ~ I am so uplifted by your love

~ Gratitude 11:11 ~
I am so uplifted by your love and blessings - truly it got me through my anxiousness and into this hospital bed. I always trust in grace, and it’s so beautiful when grace shows up as loving human beings who show up and have your back in every way. I have read all of your messages, though I am not sure I can respond to all of them - at the moment I cannot sit upright or stand on two feet! So please know I am heartened by each word of affirmation and support. Thank you again..

This is me about to go into the surgery. The procedure went well, though the doctor found a lot more labrum damage and structural issues than he expected from the diagnostic. But all is nicely repaired, and I am surrendering deeply to this long process of healing. He did say though that this will extend the life of my hip joint much longer! Yay!

Yesterday I was celebrating my body - dancing, doing and teaching yoga, relishing in sensual delights, and marveling at the intelligence that runs the show. We feel it when things are going smoothly in our bodies, and we also see it as the force of healing that mends and renews what has been damaged. Move it along with healing modalities, including surgery at times, and miracles unfold. We can take so much for granted when we are well, and appreciate it that much more when moving through a healing crisis.

11:11 Blessings to all of you. Do something today to be grateful for your body and be in awe of life itself!

~ 11|11 Prayers for my surgery ~ I am having left $~ 11|11 Prayers for my surgery ~ I am having left hip surgery tomorrow morning 11|11 to repair a torn labrum and remedy hip impingement. I welcome all prayers and healing vibes. Read on if you care to know the story and swipe right for photos… On Nov 8, 1995 I was riding my bike and was struck by a car. I sustained a multiple compound fracture to my left femur and tibia. I received emergency surgery with rods and pins, and was hospitalized for six days. A year later I had them removed. After the accident, I had 6 weeks of physical therapy and was turned loose. I was very active at the time and just did my best to get my strength and mobility back. Turns out the prognosis (I found out much later) was that I was to limp for the rest of my life… it never occurred to me that I wouldn’t be highly functional. A few years later I was in pain and started massage and chiropractic. And when I started yoga in 1999 I found a truly healing path. Actually, the vinyasa classes I started with and loved injured my body because I was still very imbalanced. When I started to practice Anusara Yoga in 2001, I discovered the healing power of alignment, and along with continued chiropractic and massage (shout to Dr. Craig Aaron, Dr. Camden Clay, and Joey McGlamory), worked through many issues and found myself participating in a never-ending process of healing that inspired me and informed my life’s work. The prognosis at the time of the accident was also future problems to come. In 2012 I tore my left meniscus. My knee had been off for a while and then I did something to injure it in yoga, requiring a repair. The orthopedist (Dr. Tom Myers) told me from what he saw as he scoped my knee that the injury was very old, probably from the time of the accident. He also told me whoever did my surgery post-accident did a perfect job, and it’s very unlikely for that to happen. It was not lost on me that the doctor who attended me after my accident happened to be the best in the Southeast (Dr. Daniel Moye in Athens, GA - I was in college at UGA, 20 years old, at the time of the accident). I felt so much grace to know that. Also, I have had chronic hip flexor pain (continued in comments)$
