The serious answer is that she should seek a professional health opinion if she

is feeling this pain all the time.

Even if she only feels it during yoga, unless you are qualified to diagnose, I

would recommend a health professional.

My mother is a breast cancer survivor, so I am sensitive to these issues in

particular, but I would suggest this approach with any chronic pain from a

student that is progressively worsening.

There's only one correct answer here: " See A Doctor Immediately. " Some day

we'll all be " ex " Kundalini Yoga practictioners (because these bodies are going

to fall apart and die. The idea in practicing Kundalini Yoga is to postpone

that experience as long as possible in order to learn something spiritually

useful before we die. Ignoring this kind of signal of breast pain is exactly

that - willful ignor-ance. This is as incompatible with Kundalini Yoga as

playing " russion roulette. " An expert Kundalini Yoga teacher will know when to

step out of the way when some different, critical specialty is called for.

After she has a diagnosis, you can help her meditatively reconcile her " self "

with the reality. THAT is also a great Kundalini Yoga opportunity for you.

Kundalini Yoga can be a profound tool for preventive health, but with yoga we

don't try to prevent a bullet from hitting its target, once the bullet is on the

way. There are other, better, more meaningful ways to deal with this force of

pain that is growing. Your common sense is called for even more as a teacher

than as a by-stander.

Sat Nam and many Blessings,

Sat Nam,

She should check her diet. Breast cancer is one cancer that has alot to do

with hormones. A good place to start is www.cancertutor.com. A good group is

a called cancer cured. There is one kriya that has and exercise YB

said is specific for cancer. It is sitting in rock pose, hands in fists by

ribs, punching with alternate fists with the emphasis on pulling the fist back

toward the ribs hard. I forget the name of the kriya.

Just taking a quick look at this I caution the implication of cancer or the use

of the word as this is not a medical relationship that you have with your yoga

student - K-Yoga's a spiritual science technology. There are many reasons why a

woman can feel pain in her breasts - outside of the realm of cancer. Further,

my understanding of cancer is that it is a symptomatic response to a

physiological calling -- meaning that the breast pain is very well a message for

the 23 year old to listen to, not necessarily to react to in a negative, fearful

way to something like that which is fear-causing. Women's Bodies, Women's

Wisdom is a great book to begin to examine the potential psychological messages

associated with breast pain. Further, alternative practices such as Body Talk

and Plant Spirit Medicine may be something available in your area to explore

along this young woman's journey back to health. Diet and yoga are very

practical, but if you do choose to relate the kriya suggested I would personally

not name the kriya, just establish it as something helpful -- without the use of

the C-word until something like that has been established by her personal

session with a medical professional.

Best wishes, and many blessings,

Amarbir Kaur

Did you say her breast is growing or the pain is growing? Sometimes the

breasts becomes sensitive at certain times of the month. I agree that

diet is important. Best not to do any caffeine especially if she feels

she is having problem. Hopefully, it's just sensitivity, but it's

always best if there concern, to check with a doctor. I like

thermograms myself and some doctors will recommend them, but not many.

A good yogic way of caring for the breasts is massaging them under a

cold shower every morning. Unfortunately, when I tell women this, they

rarely do it for whatever excuse. It's good to make cold showers a

habit every morning rather than a have to. Just do it everyday! It

works on moving the old blood out and the new blood in. You feel more

energy and it's healthy for the breasts (the days you don't do is during

your moon cycle (menstruation). When you do it, it is good to wear

shorts in the cold shower to protect that area from the cold water.

Sat Nam,

I said to her to check a doctor to be tranquil and take care of the diet. Her

answer was that she had seen the doctor for some tiny balls in the breast, the

doctor say is nothing to be worry. I felt she is not willing to see the

doctor...

I really appreciate all your help. I will encourage her to see a professional.

Thank you so much.

Blessings
