Re: Candida and Scoliosis
Oh and another thing... stay away from the bench press. Nothing will screw your shoulders up faster and lock your body up in the process. In fact, any activity or state of mind that puts you into a fight or flight state (adrenaline) will contract your body. If you exercise, you don't need to go to "failure" as this is damaging to your nervous system and does not make you stronger or more muscular. Actually it makes you weaker and destroys your body in the process.
See those videos of the guys in gyms lifting 800 pounds? I guarantee you their joints are trashed and they live perpetually in pain.
The more deeply you open up your energy channels in the body, the more intensely you can contract your muscles without locking up your joints and shutting down your energy channels. But it takes time and years of hard work.
Do the horse stance and you will intuitively understand it all.. "emotional pain", adrenaline, fight or flight... midbrain, higher consciousness, lactic acid, "chi", and how the body connects it all together. Its really quite fascinating.
