Words One Hates to Hear
I've heard a few lately but today I got to the dreaded word, asthma, to the list. I won't go into the whole story because, frankly, well, just because it's too long but we went through quite a bit with The Son when he was 1... the whole albuterol, nebulizer, doohicky. When they started talking about steroids and life-long illness ... that's when I started actually thinking about alternative health options for my kids even though I'd practiced them with myself for a long time. We stopped traditional treatment, enlisted the help of a homeopath, an acupuncturist and a NAET practitioner and, lo and behold, thousands of dollars health insurance wouldn't pay for and The Son is so healthy its beautiful. I'm just fascinated by his body's ability to really achieve so much healing. Last night the alarm clock was set for 6:15 with plans to go to AYC for the 7am first series class... about 2:30ish I leaned over and said to The Husband "It's probably okay to turn the alarm clock off now.. clearly I might not even get to sleep until 6 at this point." Such is the life of a yoga-mommy... pulling an all-nighter with a coughing 3 year old. This cough has been going on for awhile, sorta in and out... not 100% sure if she was better or not... to ensure there was clear lungs, we took her to the doctor where he uttered the *asthma* word. Oh the dread.
I've been reading Ram Daas Living the Gita and I'm truly loving it. There are some parts of his book that I just nod my head... I really get how he describes certain of his experiences - certain "everyday" things I've always considered very spiritual experiences but only a select few people that I know feel the same way about.
