As a e36 owner this type of DYI information is fantastic and guys with the right tools anything can be done to these cars avoiding the "stealer's" I mean dealer and unethical mechanic shops that charge by logo more than 'WORK".

]]> Comment on Letting Go by Jorge http://www.benhirsch.net/blog/?p=243&cpage=1#comment-38402 Jorge Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:04:17 +0000 http://www.benhirsch.net/blog/?p=243#comment-38402 Yeah, everyone says "let go". I always answer: and how do YOU do that? Everything I have tried (accupuncture, chi gong, yoga, breathing, and a very long etc.) leads eventually to more pain. The more I slow down and learn to soften up (literally, in my bones, tendons, muscles) the more pain I feel, when it hits. Hey Ben, also try http://www.continuummovement.com/, it is one of the techniques that brings relief while I am doing it. It also opens up a possibility for moving in a different way, without stress, without fighting gravity. It might be easier for your body than for mine. I now live aware of "holding", of being in the grip of tension, all the time. Yeah, everyone says “let go”. I always answer: and how do YOU do that?

Being a self/internet taught DIYer, its reassuring to see exactly what you are up against before tackling it.
