Book Synopsis
This book details the author’s personal journey in living with Sjögren’s Syndrome, a highly debilitating chronic illness, and how she overcame its weakening effects using yoga, nutrition, and meditation. Shortly after her Sjögren’s was detected, she underwent a complete hip replacement due to necrosis of the head of her femur. She tells the story of the surgery and the rehabilitation period as she explores the processes of healing and aging and how they unfold at the physical and emotional levels. Step by step she shows how she reversed Sjögren’s multiple manifestations and how the practices of yoga and meditation along with the adjustment of diet can lead to better physical, intellectual, and emotional function and ultimately to the expansion of individual consciousness. Each section of the book is self-contained and can be read on its own, but the author weaves an integrative approach throughout, giving a full view of her illness and the recovery processes to create a coherent whole.
