Straight and Aligned Back Intensive

[8030]

Yesterday was day 10. First I went to the store, and then I walked through the forest. All of this with the correct hand position. 45 minutes in total.

Today is day 11.
A 1-hour, 10-minute walk.

By the way, I noticed that lately I have been waking up with a dull pain in the middle of my back, just below my shoulder blades. The pain quickly goes away as soon as I get out of bed. I also associate it with the new way of walking—it seems to be a consequence of the musculoskeletal system adjusting to the correct posture. I think that over time my spine will get used to the new position, and this pain will stop appearing.

Today I walked for 45 minutes. I paid attention to the position of my hands and back. My hands were turned inward and forward, with the palms facing forward.

I’m continuing with the intensive! At the same time, I started doing back exercises. I like keeping my arms in this position; I try to look natural and relax my wrists. But it’s clearer to walk with my arms straight, as my concentration on the position of my hands is stronger that way. If I relax a little, they turn outward.

Good afternoon! Today I walked for an hour, with my back straight and my palms facing forward. Somehow my day didn’t get off to a good start. I had trouble waking up and wasn’t sure whether to go or not. In the end, I went. Then I swam for an hour. On the way back, I walked more slowly to the bus, but remembered to keep my back straight. And now I feel kind of out of it. I hope it passes by tomorrow.

Day 15
40 minutes of walking with my palms turned inward and forward.
Today, during the walk, my attention was somewhat distracted from my palms by the large number of people outside (I went for a walk earlier than usual), but I still tried to maintain it.
Overall, the walk helped me feel well while fasting for today’s Ekadashi.

Namaste. Today, while walking, I observed myself to make sure my palms were turned inward and forward. It was a busy day: a short walk, grounding through drawing, prayers, mantras, and sewing. Ladybugs visited the room where I was. An auspicious sign.

Day 16
One hour of walking during a stroll with my palms turned inward and forward. On the way back, I bought two bunches of fresh greens (for tomorrow’s “Living Balm of Nature”; I couldn’t resist buying them, as I do the practice every day). I carried one bunch in each hand, with my palms turned inward and forward. It wasn’t difficult.
20 minutes of walking to a japa mantra during Sadhana.
25 minutes of turning my palms forward during the VH breathing practice.

Good afternoon! Yesterday was a day off. The children were here for two days. Today I walked for an hour and swam for almost two hours, making up for yesterday))) I walked with a straight back and straight palms. What conclusion suggests itself—was it the missed day or fatigue from having guests (which was the bigger factor?) It was difficult to bring myself back to a straight back, i.e., to focus on myself. The skill immediately disappeared again )))

Day 14.
Today I walked a lot!
I went to another city to visit relatives, and there I also met up with a friend and walked with her for a whole hour and a half (without carrying anything).
During the trip, my hands were free because all my belongings were in a backpack on my back. The backpack was almost empty on the way there and full on the way back, but not heavy.

I kept an eye on my hands and posture the whole time. I noticed that I had almost stopped watching other people and was focusing more on myself.

In total, I walked for approximately 3 hours.

Yesterday and today, I walked for 15 minutes with my arms forward and inward. It feels like flying, and the whole world is beautiful and indescribably unique!
