Distance Energy Work

Dear Dorothy: I just found out that I will soon need a hip replaced. This is a huge blow since I have been very active all my life, dancing, hiking, and leading an active life. What can energy work do to help my situation? Dorothy: Joints afford both flexibility and stability to the body.  Healthy joints + sense of balance = stability. Imagine standing on a rocking boat, the joints are working constantly to keep the body upright. Problems with the joints indicates mental or emotional rigidity, stubbornness, inflexibility, etc. These imbalances can become chronic when habits of self-defense hold them in place. The long habit of inner rigidity eventually compounds as joint pain. Joints are held rigidly when there is tension in the muscles. Muscles can hold subtle tensions due to self-imposed stress or pressure. I say, "self-imposed" because one always has the choice to interpret external experiences in the light of evolution or in the light of misery. Any experience, no matt
