My Two Cents

Allhumdolillah! I am at a much better place since my last post with series of lab tests, utlrasounds, a mammogram and some other really scary tests, and a gut wrenching anxiety of results. I am doing well thankfully everything was clear except low iron levels with vitamin d3 deficiency. These deficiencies are now on their way to recovery. It is worth noting that I have been struggling with intense brain and physical fatigue since 2019 but not a single doctor was able to identify my problem. Once somebody is diagnosed with depression or anxiety then every health issue they complain about is looked from the psychological lenses. Nobody asked me to check iron, vitamin b12 or vitamin d3 deficiencies even my mum who is a dermatologist always assured me that I am fine and this weakness is just a phase.   It was a phase alright, it engulfed almost 8 years of my life pushed back my career and research ambitions.  This is not the case alone with me but there are many people who silentl...

Golf ball, really!

Most of the day went in excitement and discovery. I have been following reflexology experts Kevin and Barbara Kunz on facebook and yesterday they have uploaded an excellent self-help healing technique, called the golf-ball technique.

If anyone of you heard of acupressure, it is a type of acupuncture except that in acupressure instead of needles pressure of thumb and fingers are applied with specific techniques over the body. In Reflexology pressure is only applied on feet and hand because it has been found that all our body organs have extension or reflex points on our hands and feet.

In the golf-ball technique, pressure is applied by golf ball on hands which suspend our stress levels thus resulting in proper flow of current in our bodies and ultimately healing. It’s a very simple, harmless and inexpensive way to heal sinus, asthma, digestive problems, hay fever, allergies, migraines, managing stress, pre-childbirth and labour complications. It even provides overall health conditioning. If someone has thyroid, high blood pressure, diabetes this technique might prove to be relaxing as well as effective.

However, read carefully all the directions in the link below before you decide to use this technique, and you should continue to use medications which are prescribed by your doctors.

I am inserting a link for golf-ball technique, if anyone of you is interested in it, http://www.reflexology-research.com/golfball.html 

Plus there is also a reflexology chart link on my main blog page http://sonyasyed.blogspot.com/p/if-widgetbox-widgetbox.html . You just need to put mouse on any line and its respective organ will highlight.

One fine evening in July 2010, when I was enjoying regular power-cuts; I suddenly I felt a strong impulse in me to find Dr. Zainab Bhaiji, my teacher and an expert in acupressure and reflexology, whom I last met in 2004. God only knows how I got hold of her new contact number after so many years, within 20 minutes of my search. Since then I am practicing it on family, friends and I must say with successful results, so I have my full faith in this form of healing. One needs to keep an open mind and have faith in all modes of healing including allopathic.

To some of you my keen interest in healing techniques might come as a surprise but I have been learning and practicing alternative medicine (acupressure & reflexology) since 10 months now.

Law was and will be my first love but healing others and myself gives me peace and joy.

And in peace and love, I leave you tonight.

Sonya. (Day 194)

After fighting with an alien cat in my dream, I am awake at 1.30 am. It all is followed by a futile effort of building a sleep pattern of 9.30 pm to 6 am. Alas, not all wishes come true at once. No problem I will keep on working. Being a really smart gal I have messed up with my sleep-wake cycle long ago, and today when I accidentally opened Rujuta Diwekar’s video on cortisol on my facebook page- I realized what has been going on with me.  For all of you who are not aware that I am a distant relative of Kareena Kapoor Khan and Rujuta is the link who tied  Kareena and me  together. You all must be wondering why have I never discussed this earlier, why I took so long to disclose my bond with Kareena. Let me explain.   Rujuta Diwekar is a God’s blessing for all the fools like me who for some stranger reason believe(ed) that going on USA or UK-based diet programs would make us patla (thin/ lean). It was Rujuta’s eating desi ghee and daal sabzi ch...

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS): What It Actually Feels Like

Wow! It feels nice to be back to my favourite place in the world, my blog, my love. But today it seems that the world has rotated 360 degrees. As I was trying to figure out how to tap into this new world order I thought the best way is to ask my Higher Power to guide me through. And what a better way to do that, other than recite a prayer ‘Dua Istikhara’ a supplication used by Muslims to seek guidance from Allah before making a decision. If we just read the translation of this supplication: “O Allah, I seek guidance from Your knowledge and power and ask You from Your great bounty. Surely, you can do it, and I am not. You know, and I do not, and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if You know that this matter is good for me in my religion, life, and end, then decree it for me, make it easy, and bless it for me. But if You know that this matter is bad for me, in my religion, my existence, and my end, then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and decree for me what is g...
