Osteoporotic fractures can occur in various parts of the body, but the most commonly affected sites are the hips, spine and wrists. Low levels of protein appear to increase the risk of hip fracture. Statistics show that one month after suffering a fracture of the hip, 1 in 14 people will have died - and around half will remain in long-term care. Spinal or vertebral fractures usually occur in the thoracic (middle) or lumbar (lower) areas of the spine. Back pain is the most common symptom. Spinal fractures take from 6 to 12 weeks to heal but can persist for a longer period. For the majority of people, spinal fractures do not interfere with the spinal cord or result in paralysis. When spinal bones heal, they don't return to their original shape but are often flattened or wedge-shaped. [2019] - Diana Moran

Breathe into the body, and feel your abdomen expanding and contracting slightly with each inhalation and exhalation. If you find it easy to visualize, close your eyes and see yourself surrounded by light or immersed in a luminous substance -- a sea of consciousness. Then breathe in that light. Feel that luminous substance filling up your body and making it luminous also. Then gradually focus more on the feeling. You are now in your body. Don't get attached to any visual image. [1999] - Eckhart Tolle
