We Need To Talk - My Story: The Pain - The Sleepless Nights - Yoga - My Healing

WE NEED TO TALK: Ten years of Pain, India and Learning to Breathe AgainI survived a car accident that deleted my memory and left me with 24/7 chronic pain. For a decade, I’ve woken up screaming, slept in battles, and moved like every step was war. This isn’t inspiration porn. This is my raw truth:🔥 THE PAIN : It lives in my neck, shoulder, back. If I stop moving, it spreads like cancer. I do yoga, gym, running to survive, not to be a health freak.🔥 THE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS : 3 AM shame. Night terrors without monsters. Years of staring at ceilings while my mind screamed. I fought sleep until I learned to breathe through the cracks.🔥 INDIA’S WHISPER : When doctors said I’d never be 80% "me" again, a stray dog and the Ganges River taught me: "Your body is a broken temple holding the strength of gods." I didn’t heal my trauma, I healed my relationship with it.🔥 MOVEMENT = MEDICINE : I walk, lift, and flow not to dominate pain, but to partner with it. To prove my nervous system can still feel safe.📌Timestamps:00:00 - My connection with Pain - .Sleep - Not Sleeping - Yoga - Meditation and memories. 01:17 - How my brain protected me by deleting the memory of my accident.

Why wasn’t I normal and just fall a sleep.10:22 - Healing isn’t just a daytime job, I fought lots of battles at 4 AM in my bed. I had to stop fighting to sleep, and focus on my breath. I had to find my reconnection with sleep.11:45 - How one Call with “World Peace Yoga School & Guru Vishnu” changed and saved me. He was my last hope. How my son’s wisdom truly made me go to India.
