Healing is a three part process. We must look at mind, body and spirit. Yoga encompasses all three. Mind: one must want to get well. There is something called "secondary gain." Ask what does being sick do for the person. Do they get attention, pampered, escape from work, etc. Often people get more benefit form being sick than if they get well and live a normal life.This is a perverted sense of self. This may take a skilled counselor to root out beliefs and root cause and the secondary gain. Then they must affirm and visualize health and take active steps to being well. That leads to the next parts. Body: are they eating healthy and taking the right healing and cleansing herbs and doing right exercise. Are they overweight or underweight. Next, how is their relation to God and Spirit. Are they following their life purpose? Do thy feel have a good relationship with the Divine? Do they live a fulfilling life?

A good book out know is "The Gabriel Method" This man was obesely overweight and sick. He used meditation, mind and healthy eating to get healthy. An exellent book to read on how to use ones mind, meditation and positive living to get back to health.

Ask your mother "Why are you sick? What does this do for you? Listen carefully and write down exactly her answer. Often the answer is the reason and then one can go from there. IF she says she does not know then say "lets play a game, if you new or could know why your sick what would you say then." This can often get to the root cause of show if there is any secondary gain. After this one can begin to develope a path to healing.

Hi Kulananda, thank you for your answer! It is very kind of you!
Yes I think you are right, first it should be treated the reason for the illness! The psychsomatic explanation for illness "Diabet" is lack of the sweet in Life.
Personally the reason for my mother to get ill was exhaustive and difficult work, which didn't bring her pleasure, dissatisfaction and unhealthy eating. Now things changed a little - she is a pensioner and has more time for her doing what she likes. She changed a little her menu - eating more fruits and vegetables and less meat. She believes in God, at the Moment she looks after her mother (she is pretty old).
What I am more interested in is if you know how does the process of stopping this Medicaments should take place? She doesn't want to take them anymore. But isn't her body addicted to them?! What will happen if she stops them? Is it possible to cause some kind of crise?

All the best,
Anelia

Namaste,
One of the best herbs for diabetes according to ayurveda is Gurmar (gymnema sylestre)
other good ones are turmeric and shilajit.
She might have withdrawal symptoms and to avoid negative health effects one can start on the ayurvedic herbs and gradually reduce the medicaments and monitor her condition regularly. It is important to know the drug/herb interactions. Their must be a good holistic doctor where you live. I do not know the drug/herb interactions. there are some internet sites that list these.
Here is a link to some ayurvedic formulas to help with diabetes. These are companies in the states. I'm sure you can find other sites close to wher eyou live.

Is there a way to make arrangements so she could stay at the Yoga Vidya Ashram for 2 weeks as many people went to swami Vishnu's "Yoga camp" in Val Morin. She could feel the vibes of hundreds of people who are trying to change or make better something in their lives. Their dining facility is the best. The whole philosophy of the Ashram is healing.
We use a bulldozer to dig a hole, when we wake up get healthy again we get a teaspoon to fill the hole in we dug. It's very hard but it can be done. Master Sivananda said do a little, play a little, sing a little, eat a little, laugh a little ...

Just a thought
