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.

You hinge from the hips,
You hinge from the hips, budahazya. If you feel your back is rounding out, then you know you are not bending properly. Breath deeply into your lower belly and think of your hips as hinges as you bend from them. Reach back with with one hand if you need to, to see if your lumbar curvature is there. And, yes it is ok to bend your knees, just keep the object you are picking up close to your body as you stand back up.

How are you doing on posture these days? I know you were having lots and lots of trouble learning to relax the belly. - Surviving

Dear Surviving, Thank you for
Dear Surviving, Thank you for asking, relaxing my belly is not a problem for me any more, but I have to concentrate all day, and and correct the posture a hundred times.

This is what we all had to learn to do. Eventually it will be automatic. I never had a problem relaxing my belly, as long as I remembered to. This happened sometime in the second year of this work. - Surviving

Hi Dear Budahazya,
Hi Dear Budahazya,
I discovered that I was still at times slightly holding my belly in a while back.
A great reminder for me now is to belly breath along with being in the posture as much as possible at all times & with the exercises, particularly upper body, I can hold the posture more automatically, like after learning how to drive a car, or anything new - eventually all the steps to do that become more automatic. Also, when driving a car it is a constant pressure on & correction of the steering wheel to keep the car going in the right direction.
It is something I accept now and work on because of the benefits.
I treat it as a form of relaxation and mindfulness to be in posture, it is so much more relaxing & energy conserving than the tension of the muscles & chest breathing of common posture, while at the same time it is a form of exercise in itself.
Take your time, listen to your body and be consistent - it is a wonderful journey.
Wishing you all the best,
Aussie Soul Sister
