Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Sat Nam. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in September 2007, I've undergone two operations to clear the cancer and it seems we are winning! After my first surgery, instead of resorting to painkillers, I tried Kundalini Yoga, meditation, pranayma and visualization- all of which I found extremely helpful. The same with the second surgery. The only challenge is the wound, which is still numb, but feels tight and I am not able to lie down on the floor very comfortably. This too will pass As health care professional myself, I was pleasantly surprised how many healing properties yoga and meditation have, and even though I still " trust " Western medicine, I am also beginning to develop serious interest in complementary therapies. While caring for my own patients, I certainly use massage and suggest different breathing techniques to combat pain and other symptoms. This is exciting and it is amazing to see the effect of this technique in different people. After recovering from my own surgery, I promised myself I would travel to India and I feel it is time to honor this promise. I will be traveling by myself, would like to visit North India (Rishikesh, Amritsar etc). If anyone would have suggestions where to stay safely, such as an ashram, I'd very much appreciate if you let me know. My vacation will be four weeks, maximum.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Sat Nam, I am so happy for your healing successes, Sat Atma Kaur! Wahe Guru! I have tears in my eyes from your beautiful inspired and courageous story. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy India!!! Where you raised in Saudi Arabia or did you move there? What does your name mean? Was it part of your strength in your healing? Hugs, Yahara Turners Falls, Massachusetts Sat Atma Kaur wrote: Sat Nam.
