Hi Friends, Well, it happened. I had a spiritual experience in India. Without going to an ashram, without dressing like an Indian girl, and without shutting off my iPhone for too long, I got the hit.

Back pain is so common and can be so debilitating that I want to keep sharing approaches here. If you have any, please share as well! Q: I have chronic lower back pain for 4 years and it's getting worse, to the point where I'm tempted to take prescription drugs. I've tried everything else. I have degeneration in the L5 S1 joint, and a bulging disc. I started back to yoga classes and I find it really challenging (esp forward bending), so I only go once a week! Is this enough, and are there any moves or a…
