Bible Bump/Yoga for the Wrists
The power of yoga can help us heal ourselves and our bodies, yes? Right? So, I'll venture that it was my steady yoga practice, documented here, that helped me to heal my ganglion cyst in record time. Without trying to jinx it, it'll all better!
OK. Really though, without getting gross here for people that definitely didn't sign on for that, I didn't exactly "heal myself," per se. I'll just go so far to say that, for those who are A+ for the gross-out factor, check out the Wikipedia article I linked to and read the last sentence of the first paragraph. That's how I "healed" myself.
Yeah, I'm that hard-core.
Anyway, now that I'm typing again, here's a wrist sequence. It's not long, but it's a great anti-carpal tunnel series. I don't know any sequences for ganglion cysts, and when I look online, I find a good number of total crack-pot websites. It might just be that the sequence for ganglion cysts would simply preclude all usage of the wrists in poses. Not as fun, but when you have them, you really just have to give the wrists a break.
