While the forum is now closed, we have left it intact because of the amazing amount of important data it has collected over its fifteen year life. It is searchable and we encourage women to make use of it.
Questions should be directed to the Whole Woman Community Message Board going forward.
Many thanks to everyone who made use of the forum and took the time and effort to help out others who often came to Whole Woman in a dark place, desperate for information, and came away with hope, encouragement, and the tools they needed to stabilize and reverse their conditions.
You have all made a difference here.
Best wishes,

Relaxing the belly
Hi sewhappy - I don't want to leave this post unanswered, but not sure how to help. Yes, you have asked about this before:

Relaxing the belly was the hardest habit for me to get into at the beginning, but for me it was just a matter of being mindful. I would stop myself a million times all day long. Perhaps you need to work more on deep breathing, into the belly and not up into the chest. Lie down in a comfortable place and just watch your belly rise and fall. And when you are upright, just relax the belly. I can't tell you how, I can only say, do it. You may be carrying more than average tension there.....but you can let it out if you want to. - Surviving
