    NB,

    I'd like to put forth an antecdotal story about my Taiji Quan
    instructor that is quite relevent to the current situation.

    My Taiji Quan instructor got into Taiji Quan and Qigong because he
    snapped both of his achilles tendons and subsequently went into rehab
    and had an operation on his achilles tendons that left quite a bit of
    scar tissue on his heels. Among his rehabilitation he took up the art
    of Taiji Quan and Qigong, both practices which involve the
    cultivation and circulation of Qi, roughly the equivelent of Vital
    Energy in IIH. After a number of years of practice he re-experienced
    the same pain he felt when he broke his achilles heels and
    experienced a great amount of fear that he had re-injured his tendons
    again. He told this to his instructor at the time, Dr. Shen Zaiwen I
    believe, who told him to keep on practicing his Qigong routines on a
    regular basis. After a couple of months of training afterwards his
    scar tissue fell away and his achilles tendons are pretty much as
    good as before they where first injured.

    Physiologically speaking, energy moves easier through relaxed muscle
    tissue. Scar tissue as a whole represents a clump of tightened,
    fuzed, muscle tissue that is anything but relaxed. Basically
    speaking, when you start to circulate this energy it slowly works
    away at any blockages that it comes into contact with.

    Having personally experienced something to this effect on a much
    lesser scale, I would just suggest, in addition to what Rawn
    suggests, is to keep on practicing your meditations on a more or less
    consistent basis as you can handle.

    Live well,
    Peter Reist
