It has been nearly ten years now when two doctors, basing on the MRI result of my spinal column, were very eager to do microdisectomy operation on my lower back to scrape the so-called migrated discs of my L-4 and L-5 lumbar spine. According to their medical wisdom and experience, that was the only way to get rid of my back and leg pains. It was a blessing in disguise when during that time, our finance was low and my health insurance had just expired. Because had everything been readily available, I would have blindly followed the doctors’ verdict and went on with operation. And as if by design, my immediate superior also suffered the same situation some years back and suggested that I try yoga and introduced me to my guruji, Mr. Sanjeev. And so, I attended the program of Rhythm of Life and the rest, as they say, was history. My sickness was like a wake up call for me to be more at tuned to my body’s needs and yoga made me realize it, not only through the breathing techniques, body postures and meditation but also the inspirational talks of Mr. Sanjeev that are not only spiritual but surprisingly practical and even scientific. A few months later, I had another MRI scan and gave me a more factual rationale for the reduction of my pains. The L-5 slipped discs had been repaired and the L-4’s slipped disc had been reduced. I’m definitely on the road to recovery and the neurosurgeon who recommended the operation was also happy with the result and advised me to continue what I have been doing. Operation no longer required.
