Journey to healing

Several years ago, when I was still living my regular life with a day-job, I felt restless and my heart pounded on every little milestone in the daily life; including being on time for my son's school or for dinner at home or to deliver an email/presentation at work. I didn't like this feeling, but I was not even aware that what I am feeling is anxiety and its not a normal experience of daily life.

While this continued for several years, things became worse. Slowly, I started to lose my immunity; not just the external immunity to allergens, pollens, bacteria and viruses but the internal immunity of the body to circumstances where I can be patient and observant. I started to be angry and irritable at the slightest of the situations; and before I noticed this anger has already directed itself towards my own self. Sure enough, it had to manifest in the body as a disease one day and it did; it surfaced as Hashimoto's Thyroiditis - an autoimmune disease in which the antibodies created by your own body attacks the cells in your Thyroid. Or a part of your body doesn't recognize another part of the body and attacks it as an invader.

My journey to healing started only after I understood the meaning of this disease and the fact that my own body was attacking itself. The first question I asked was why? and there was no answer; neither the doctors could answer me nor the medicine being practiced had any answer for this. This is when I approached Ayurveda and have not looked back ever since.

It was a new beginning; I knew the path is going to be long and I knew this is the right path. So, I started my journey; Now I am walking on the path to heal my own self and hoping to inspire anyone else on the path to start their own journey. This journey is going to be your own; you are going to be your own companion and healer, others can only be guides but the path needs to be carved and walked by only you.

Wishing you to find your path and start your journey soon !!
