For this whole year, I have not been doing the Stance. Not at all.
I stopped mainly because I had hurt my left shoulder and the movements that I do as I stand was not helping the process. The pain started probably before January 2013, but I marked January as the start. It did not go away like most pain did. I exercised it and it got worse. A visit to doctor's office did not draw any conclusion. After much research, I concluded that I got a "frozen shoulder". It was so painful that the range of motion of my left shoulder got progressively more rigid. After about 3 or 4 months, the pain somewhat lessened, and I would try move it a little, more. Now in November I am able to reach the back of my right shoulder with my left hand. It is about 80 or 90% but I still feel it.
When I stand, one of the post I usually do is raising my arm straight up, like holding the sky up. I feel the stiffness when I try doing that with my left arm. And then I feel it more after I did the movement like in the following day. Do you think my body is trying to tell me something?
I do miss doing it though, especially when it is cold. Last night, I just started squatting down without timing myself. Then I went lower, with proper inhaling and exhaling, before I knew it the "fire" got ignited and started radiated upward. It was ... good.
Mentally I want to come up with a coherent ... rational about this working on the whole fixes the problem of the back. This is a continuation of the last blog. I want to think this through. There is some truth that is begging to come out. And I think I am the only one who can crack this.
Wish me luck!
