What a divine gift this woman received! When we love others and are patient, compassionate and point them in the direction of the Masters with complete faith and confidence that their every need will be met, we are living according to the teachings. Her physical healing is very impressive!

Carol experienced a tremendous physical healing and the greatest gift you shared with her aside from your mastery of yoga, was guiding her to those who can take her to the Ultimate Healing – Realization of the Self.

Thank you for sharing this incredibly inspiring story!

Many you continue to play the role of awakening our brothers and sisters to the Kingdom of Heaven Within. hugs, d

Please let me know if I can help you in any way with your yoga practices.

Everyone really appreciates your service at the SRF Boys Youth Program Camp. Thank you very much…Norm

Thank you for your yoga classes at the camp (Self-Realization Fellowship Boys YouthProgram Camp). I appreciate it.

I just ordered your DVD for beginners, Easy Yoga for Home, Office & Studio.

This article is very inspiring. I love stories of transformation. I would love to see it in SRM (Self-Realization Magazine). But I do think you will have to let them edit it to be able to fit their editing needs. This might be tough for you but I think they can get the essence of the story even if they have to cut out or re-write some of it.

Thanks again for all you do.

Jai Guru,

I will have many more stories of people who have succeeded against all odds and in spite of medical opinions that it couldn’t be done.

For me, it would be great to see more stories like this one.

Reading the details of how this women achieved success gave me the inspiration to practice the routines every day. I play the string bass for a living, and it is a very physical activity that leaves me with a lot of muscle tension. If I practice one of the yoga routines afterwards, the tension is released, and I feel a lot better. If I don’t practice the yoga routines, then I’m carrying around tension, my mood is affected, I feel tired, etc.

I often tell my students that the practice of yoga is not so much like getting in shape for an athletic contest as it is like learning to play a musical instrument. The more frequently you practice, the quicker you develop the skill.

The other side of this is that unlike a regular workout, you shouldn’t feel tired from your hatha yoga practice. Just like Yogananda’s Energization Exercises, since they are going to give you energy, you should never feel that you are too tired to do them.

By the way, how did you get to this blog? Because it has taken me awhile to learn this blog format, I haven’t announced it yet, although there is a link from my YogaNorman.com website.

Peter, I would be very happy to hear any suggestions that you have on what you think that you or others would like to see on this site. I plan to give a lot of information on the healing and spiritual aspects of yoga.

Thank you very much for your comment. I look forward to seeing you and Ellen at the 2010 Self-Realization Fellowship World Convocation in Los Angeles in August.
