It seems I shouldn't be calling each time I do a Somatic Lesson a "day" now because, days have gone by and I haven't done my Somatic Lessons. I consciously took a break one night, went to bed earlier, then the next night I did the same thing, went to bed rather than somatic lesson it, next night I did the somatic lessons a little bit, then I went on a mini-vacation at a hot spring and geyser the next night and after the 3 mile hike into the forest, I tried sleeping on top of a steaming rock, the next night I came back really really tired because I didn't sleep much on the warm rock with the cold wind between the steam but I did the 1.5 hour somatic lessons a little bit out of memory since the book was in my car, then, last night, I decided to sleep again rather than doing the 1.5 hours of somatic lessons at midnight. Now I've caught up on sleep and I have a full day of work today. I hope that I do it tonight, a little bit earlier.... After all, I am going to get more pictures of my back taken on Tuesday when my mom comes over with her camera.... I need to bring back that restful feeling in my spine, where all mechanics are working properly -- I have felt my spine revert a little bit back to having a hump, the hump is more rounded again, less flat, less flexible again.
I read some people's writings on their experience with somatics, many of them go to a practitioner once a week and do some intense somatic lessons there, then they go home and do others - I doubt the 1.5 hours that I have been doing. It started feeling really intense, as my muscles were starting to really be used in another way, like when you go on a 10 mile hike uphill, the next days your legs are sore. That's why I took a break, well now the break has been too long. I did notice on the days where I did the lessons a little in between the breaks that my muscles were still feeling the use and the soreness, almost like stopping for a rest during that 10 mile hike, you don't want to get up again at first, my body has been feeling like it doesn't want to do the lessons, but once I do the lessons, I feel so good....
This blog follows the healing of a 37 year old female's scoliotic spine. Scoliosis was detected at age 14 and grew to an S-curve with a 30+ degree left concave upper thoracic lower cervical curve and a 40+ degree right concave lower thoracic curve. 23 years of discomfort is being alleviated at last.

About Me
- cloud
- Among a wonderful life, I have a scoliosis with an S-Curve. Top angle is 35 degrees, bottom angle is 45. Since I last measured 19 years ago, I have had several injuries to my back that make movement harder and adds some pain. I have been working toward finding a quiet place, a good schedule, and support in healing my spine. Now is the time or never, my vertebrae feel like they are fusing and I don't want that!! When I was 15 and they told me that I could lose 10 years or so of my life because of this, it didn't matter to me then, now at 37, it does. When they told me that it'd get worse when I have a baby or get fat, I didn't care, but now I wonder how I can hold a little one in my body, and I look forward to such a beautiful time in my life still....
