Shifting from Fear to Love by  Gabrielle Bernstein "All shallow roots must be uprooted, because they are not deep enough to sustain you" - A Course in Miracles Love is where we all begin. When we are born all we know is love. Our ~ing is on! (If you haven’t read my book, Add More ~ing to Your Life, allow me to translate: ~ing is your inner guide, which is the voice of intuition, inspiration and love.

Sacroiliac Joint

The SI joint is the articulation between the ilium and the sacrum on each side of the pelvis. As with other joints, it is comprised of the bony stabilizers, the static soft tissue or ligamentous stabilizers, and the dynamic muscular stabilizers. On the surface of the bone is the articular cartilage. The SI joint depends primarily on the stout ligaments that cross it for stability. The bones also have shallow interdigitations that correspond on each side, thus conferring some bony stability. Finally, there are the muscles (dynamic stability) and fascia—especially the thoracolumbar fascia. Figure 1 illustrates the bones that comprise the SI joint. Figure 1: The bones of the sacroiliac joint. Figure 2 illustrates the stout ligamentous stabilizers of the joint. These include: The anterior (front) and posterior (back) sacroiliac ligaments running from the sacrum to the ilium; The sacrotuberous ligaments running from the sacrum to the ischial tuberosity; The sacrospinous ligaments r
