Severe headaches--migraines=Gratitude/Surrender-Kat

May 11, 2007

OMG, Kat, I'd never read your accident story

before...what a horrible crash!! It's amazing that

you and your father weren't hurt worse than you were.

And your ordeal with migranes...it's a nightmare. I

know the headache you had a couple of days ago must

have scared you, thinking that the migranes were

starting back again!

I don't know WHAT you experienced the other day. But

I do know that I am impressed by the manner in which

you handled it. Surrendering to a killer headache has

to be a most difficult thing to do. If it was some

sort of test, you passed with flying colors!

I would really like to fast prior to the SSS (summer

shaktipat), but now I'm a bit wary! I tend towards

hypoglycemia, so I will question as we draw

closer to the start of the SSS as to suggestions for a

'modified' fast. Perhaps there is something I can eat

to keep my blood sugar at a steady level.

All I can say is 'wow,' Kat.

Love, Claudia

Yes, Claudia you were absolutely correct, my dad and I were lucky! Very lucky!

One thing did come out good from it, very little migraines, although I don't

advise anyone to get into an accident to cure migraines though! LOL!

When I fast again I will probably eat just fruit to get me through the day

instead of going completing without food and drink plenty of water and juice. I

found this organic carrot juice at Wal-Mart in the produce section. I think I

will drink that as well. I love carrots, don't like beets!

I have to know that everything that happens, happens for some reason, a test of

some sort! Anyway, I haven't had a headache since so that is great! Hopefully I

can resume my practices. I want to go to a yoga class next Tuesday, Hatha yoga!

The instructor donates the money to local charities and so I can help her and

she can help me. I have DVD's but I want someone who can make sure I am doing

everything correctly. I am so excited.

I hope we can fast together! You can eat fruits if you need to.

Love,

katherine
