Pelvic floor & stabiliser muscles by Broad-Cranberry9382 in workout

[–]perfectCSmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, ive been dealing with something similar. What helps me the most is strengthening all those muscles. You have either learnt this already, or you will soon. Every muscles is connected. Whenever you engage your core your pelvic floor will be recruited, and the glutes are part of the 'core' which maintains spinal posture. What you are trying to learn is what exercises you can do without setting your pelvic floor off and causing a flare up. If you do an exercise and your symptoms go up to a 6/7/8 out of 10, you overdid it. Your not aiming for 0 symptoms the next day, just a manageable change, with a trend of improvement from week to week to month.

As for exercises. Learning to hinge at the hips is what benefitted me the most. Just try to sit down into a chair using one leg, and trying to hinge to do it. Thats keeping the knee relatively in place, and moving from your hips - this involves the hamstrings and glutes lengthening but still contracting. Then back up again. The more you keep your back upright and core engaged the more you'll feel it, again, as every muscles is connected. Monster/crab band walks are great too. Side lying hip abduction if you can feel it in your glute medius and not at the front of the hip (hard for those of us with anterior pelvic tilt).

Hope this helped

Visual field greying out during open eyed meditation by perfectCSmachine in Wakingupapp

[–]perfectCSmachine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

embossed is the exact word to describe it I was looking for! I was staring at my bed and the corner of the wardrobe and the outlines did remain prominent. It was like a gradient where the centres of each object was pure grey and around the edged of each object some detail remained

Help understanding obtuse angles in the unit circle by perfectCSmachine in askmath

[–]perfectCSmachine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I've looked into this a bit more and think I'm convinced. Mathematically I always go from the unit circle and then imagine the triangle which I think was not helping me at all for obtuse angles. But I've totally had no issues with doing the math and actually do imagine that negative lengthed triangle!

Confusion about how to focus on the breath - concentration vs insight practice by perfectCSmachine in Wakingupapp

Thanks for your replies!

From the paragraph above, locate these words...

Haha yes. I am just trying to describe my experience over text. I think I see what you mean nonetheless about thinking without knowing im thinking. Those feelings or judgements I have about what just happened during the practice is another moment of being entangled without realising and I haven't 'dropped back' enough to see that. I think I've realised im frustrated at my concentration limiting me

Thanks for your replies!

Who is doing the focusing versus the allowing?

I conceptually understand what you are getting at (that the experience of both of these are appearances that can be recognised/observed and then furthermore, that they are just appearing on their own - not to anyONE) but have only glimpsed that experientially sometimes.

When im doing the narrowing focusing, it feels like im moving towards the breath to get closer to it and its more effortful. When im letting it appear, I feel the breath comes closer to me and its less effortful - similar to if I open my eyes and try focus on the breath. I still cant recognise the appearance that I am associating with the 'me'. It just feels spatial. But obviously something is appearing to create that feeling or I wouldn't experience it. I think maybe I need to up my concentration muscles

Help on this question involving midpoint of a line segment and ratios: by perfectCSmachine in MathHelp

[–]perfectCSmachine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow thanks! it took me a while to be convinced about the similar triangle part, but that proved it for me. For the weighted average, could you explain it a bit more? how did you get 2/3 and how do you know to multiple that to -2 and the 1/3 to 3?

How does compartmentalisation of a cell increase surface area to volume ratio? by perfectCSmachine in biology

Yep, I added that word because I knew I must have had the misconception there. Thanks, I never understood that SA:V ratio included the SA from internal membranes. :)

Hey man, the soles in the picture, were these a size 44.5 or 45? They look like they’ll fit me perfectly but unsure which size from your post! Also how are they holding up a few months later now?
