Hi,
I have osteoarthritis in my neck and whenever I try to do the active exercises, the pain becomes too intense moving into the base of my scull. I've tried the exercises sitting down, and even lying down, but there is something about holding the arms up in the building of Chi that stresses my neck and shoulder area. I think maybe that if I just push through the pain, the Chi will help rebalance the underlying block, but I also want to respect the message my body is giving me and be gentle with her.
Any ideas on what I could do differently? Wish I was back in Minnesota. I could see Master Lin in person.
Thanks,
Anita
