The bleak reality of misery

Send us Fan MailThe surgery was done. I thought the hard part was over. This episode is about the long grey stretch that followed, the part nobody really talks about, where the emergencies have passed but you're still completely stuck in it.Six weeks after the double mastectomy, I got the green light to drive and do light exercise again. That first moment alone in the car felt enormous. And then I got home and realised how far I still had to go. I talk about what it was like not being able to walk or get on the yoga mat, two things that had kept me functional for years, and what that did to me as someone who teaches yoga for a living.I also talk about tamas, the yogic concept of inertia, and what it actually feels like when that takes hold in your body. The months of minimal function, watching the world move while I couldn't quite reach it, and the slow unglamorous steps that eventually started to shift something. Progress in this kind of recovery is invisible from the outside. This episode is about what it looks like from the inside.LINKS:Work with Monica: https://cultivatecalmyoga.com.au/energy-alchemy/ Curious about Yoga Alchemy?: https://cultivatecalmyoga.com.au/yoga-alchemy/Website:https://cultivatecalmyoga.com.au/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/cultivatecalmyogabrisbane/
