Yoga

Yoga means union or connection. It is an ancient practice that involves poses and postures and breath work as a means to "going inside" in a manner that promotes peace, a deeper relationship with oneself and an inner strength that is difficult for me to characterize but seems to be a seed of the ability to connect to others. Connection with the "divine" is among the possibilities with this practice when it is nurtured and pursued with consistency, intensity and with a longing for more than "just a physical experience".

While I am a novice in this practice, I can see the expansive possibilities which can evolve out of a devoted yoga practice. It seems to be a "way in" that can open the door to connection that I crave so much and see as vital to health and well-being. Connection with the outer world is important but I now see that connection with one's inner world makes the other both possible but more readily accessible.

IT'S HAPPENING

Wow, the information available on CCSVI on the internet is truly amazing! I have to admit: I did not research this topic as well as I could have. I did not read the study from Poland before my procedure. I did not realize all the excitement combined with incredible knowledge that is coming out of Georgetown. I am just reading them now and I can hardly contain myself. There is so much data available on CCSVI from around the world. I acted more on a deep gut feeling that CCSVI was real and was my path to healing. I was a little desperate as I felt myself sliding over the last year and didn't feel right with the auto-immune drugs. CCSVI just made sense to me; really good sense. Now reading the data, I am so excited for huge numbers of people to get healed/opened/freed! After doing a little research, it seems that nearly all people with definite MS have CCSVI. It also seems that people with MS who have the procedure have less flairs over time and a better quality of life. Some get a lo...

$$$

I received my bills this week. $ 32,000 for the Liberation Procedure. $1200 for MRV. Amazingly, my insurance(Blue Cross) covered all but $5000 of the total. I feel so fortunate that it was largely covered. I have sat on Utilization Review Committees(when I worked at Scripps) and thought the insurance company would deny coverage based on the experimental nature of the procedure. Luckily for me, I was wrong! I guess they just cannot deny need for treatment of blocked blood vessels.
