^Thanks yungang, and yes, that was really one of the greatest things that ever happened to me. After four years in constant pain with that clipped nerve that nobody could set fee, needing painkillers just to sleep even a little bit, being unable to sit down at all (I actually spent six months writing a graduate thesis standing upright all the time), and having received a bleak prognosis of this being a hopeless case and me needing surgery on the spine at some point, while being advised to never get pregnant to avoid getting paralyzed, and more fun stuff like that (all this while in my early 20s)...and then out of the blue, this person heals my problem in 30 minutes, and teaches me how to take care of it myself, so that only two years later, I then did have a child with zero problems; and now here I am, twenty years after the fact, doing deadlifts at 125% my body weight, doing the more outrageous Yoga asanas, performing in dance shows... how great is that? In case you think I'm exaggerating anything - I am not.

I believe you, and trust the veracity of your words completely and implicitly. I KNOW you do the outrageous asanas!! Of course you do!

Having worked through so much physical pain to achieve intellectually it's no surprise that your physical prowess is also very strong.

It's just so wonderful to hear all of this I have a few friends who are osteopaths and would have liked to have pursued that as I love medicine and can get really into the text books and adore body work... but that's not my path this lifetime... still i love to help people and it's inspiring to hear what one person can do for another.

Hmm how did you ruin your bones? Over exertion? Do you have Saturn afflictions or Capricorn stuff? Just curious. My medical astrology is very so-so. Would like to learn as much as I can.

   Just saw what you meanwhile added while I was typing - so sorry you had to go through such stuff while pregnant, and then with a small child. That's such a vulnerable position to be in  Am divorced myself, and had to witness my child's father descend into psychological problems beyond my ability to heal during roughly that same timeframe, so can relate a little bit even though it probably wasn't as bad. In my case this period began with my Saturn return, so tSaturn was square nJupiter but it lasted for a few years, much longer than the transit itself, and ended when tSaturn crossed over my nVenus (which was when I finally left).

Have to go now, good night to you!

Ah I don't know what's as bad--they'll have been very different. A long drawn out divorce from somebody you have loved but can't help is a very difficult thing... For us it all happened fairly quickly--but I was in my early twenties at the time, and there was physical abuse, and various forms of what kind of amounted to physical and psychological torture.. heh... I mean, he really doesn't travel easy and I was very much keeping pace...

but it's ok

We've grown and learned and come out the other side stronger... if a little bedraggled in places
