When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

Whether you’re an old friend or a new acquaintance, welcome! The Whole Woman forum is a place where you can make a difference in your own life and the lives of thousands of women around the world!

Hi Christine,
I have two questions about the exercises you described.
When you bend from the waist, where do you rest your arms? On a chair? On your hips? (I couldn't visualize what you mean.)
When you do the raises on just one foot, is it in the standing or bent-over position?
I love your exercises. They are so helpful! Thanks for explaining.

Hi Naomi,
Whatever height is comfortable for you. You can fold your arms at the elbow and rest them on a table or countertop or you can stand on a stairway, bend over at the waist, and rest them on the stair at the level most comfortable for you. I'm pretty limber and like to find a rock or log when I'm walking to place my hand on for toe raises.
The one-footed raises I was describing from a standing position.

p.s. Thank you so much, Naomi! It probably won't surprise you that I'm working on a whole new movement program for women that is somewhere in between yoga and dance.

Hi Christine,
Do you plan to put your yoga/dance program on video so we can all learn it? (I hope so!)

Certainly! That's a project probably for early next year though, as I have my hands full getting this center started.

Dear Christine,
Thank you for your prompt & thorough reply. It is such a relief to be heard, & to be heard by someone with compassion & knowlege is such a blessing. I am so grateful.
I have immediately added the different versions of toe raises. I can do them all day long.
I put a basket under my feet to raise them up when I sit onthe toilet. I agree that straining was the final straw my insides could not handle. You suggestion of standing up as an alternate to squating which can get messy is great.
The quality of my skin has changed so much as I am going thru mena pause. That includes the skin inside my vagina. Whatever sewing together of my vaginalwall was done has undone itself. The clueless Doctor tried to give me a whole different opening! My ob/gyn
suggested premarin cream. I have not wanted to take anything that would alter my already hard to decifer hormonal rollercoaster. I just started useing castor oil, which my body loves, on the perineum & inthe rectum before I go to sleep. Edgar Cayce was right on with that stuff. I use it on my eyes & a wrist injury I had.
There are other things I am doing that are helping. Your book/video exercises & encouraging words are the foundation of this healing process for me. The posture of the sacrum & lumbar curve is key. I strive to get that curve back again. Since I can't go on my long walks yet my back seems to really like lying on my back & bicycling. I am getting accupuncture for prolapse which is great & taking herbs that I canfeel helping. Let me know if you would like more info.
To be continued. It's late & I'm tired. I so want to thank you for being so available.
I too am hungry for all the movements & exersises you come up with!
pleasant dreams!
Jane
