My Tummy Hurts – Dr. Suman K

As a child I remember that I was always worried about my Tummy. As I grew into my teens I realized that I had extreme sensitivity in my tummy and I always had to watch out what and how much I eat. I left home for college and was exposed to all kinds of foods that damaged my Tummy more. I was known for my ill health during my University days. The only cure was a family doctors prescription of antacid, Imodium or Rantac each coming with its own side effects. 

Life came with its own challenges of education, career and relationships all of which aggravated my system and lead into a mild form of ‘Piles’ in 2006.

Frankly the whole Gastro Intestinal tract was a Mess from top to bottom and with these extremities from Diarrhea to Constipation and Abdominal Pain all classic symptoms of ‘Irritable Bowl Syndrome’ (IBS). These things also naturally pulled me down in life in terms of self confidence and inner strength. 

This is when I met Sunita in Vancouver when I came for a short stay of 3 months. I went for my Sookshma Yoga class loaded with mindful of doubts, skepticism if this will work. Also coming from a strong Medical science and Research background, I was used to rationalizing the problems and was looking for evidence and quick results. Within 3 weeks of my Sookshma sessions of Sunita, I could see a dramatic change in my life. I remember Sunita asking me to start eating Regular rolled Oats and I was very hesitant as I knew my stomach is very sensitive. Sunita also suggested me to have lemon juice with honey and other ingredients which I would normally not even think of having. With all the doubts, I started to follow her nutritional guidance. She added short grain brown rice to this menu and you can see my plight. But day by day, I could see my tummy getting stronger and healthier. No need to run to the bathroom multiple times, no need to worry about going to toilet every time I leave home.

My system is so darn perfect that I could never ever have imagined this and I am sure my friends from school and college would be shocked to see my healthy Gastro Intestinal Tract.

As things started changing Physically I realized that Sunita is not just another
meditation and yoga teacher, but some one who can instantly heal people with her pure vibrations. In fact my background in medical science helped me to understand how she is curing all kinds of problems. She is aiming at cleaning our subconscious system. We do not realize how much we accumulate and carry in our minds in form of judgments. These thoughts create loads of stress and start to impact different parts of body.

I remember my first consultation with her “I am totally fine Sunita. The only problem is my Tummy”. Now I realize how foolish I was. But Sunita never questions or commands. She is always smiling and listening and allowing us to open up. She encourages any kind of questions. She in fact says that if we do not open up and keep the doubts inside it is not going to help anyone.  

Slowly I started seeing a glow in my face, I could see myself in the photographs spanning over 3 months how my overall presence is lot more pleasant and relaxed. In her presence I see that my voice changes, my smile is different and my confidence spikes into the sky. Emotionally I became more aware between Positive and Negative thoughts. There is will power to fight the enemies inside.

All my dreams of film making, to be an Entrepreneur and be able to inspire people in a positive way, started to come true. There is lot of space available in the head for creative pursuits and more love and compassion in the heart to share and care, because in every meditation with her empathy she is absorbing all the
accumulations I that had in my mind.

In this process she showed me “who I really am”. There is no need for me to Act for the world, play the Ego game for sustaining in the rat race. I am my true self which is Pure and peaceful. She helped me detach from the past, not worry about the future and live in this moment. I read many self help books before I met Sunita. What they did was just add piles of intellectual understanding about life. But Sunita showed me the ‘Power of Now’. She gave the experience of Bliss that is written in all ancient scriptures. I used to practice Yoga and meditation at some other centers before I met Sunita. But with one meditation of Sunita, there was no looking back. She made me realize Meditation should become a way of life, not just closing the eyes and sitting for 30 min and crazily carrying the monkey mind for rest of the day.

Sunita is not just a healer; she is Pure Love and Bliss. I came for one problem, but there is a complete turn around in all aspects of my life. Today I feel that ‘Sky is not the Limit’.

In this Journey I came to know that every physical manifestation of disease has its root in the subconscious mind. Modern Medical science is doing wonders in many ways, but in some ways failing to reach the root causes of life styles disease like IBS, Crohn’s, Diabetes, Arthritis, Colitis, Hypertension, Anxiety, Depression and many more.
