Hello everyone, before I continue with my story, I would like to mention that my experience is a lengthy one and to witness how my life has changed for the better, please spend a few minutes of your day reading about my experiences in life. My name is Madhavi Priya Allamsetti and I am 49 years old. Up until the year 2000 I was physically and mentally healthy and enjoyed the small joys of life, after which my pregnancies started taking a toll on my health. In the year 2005, my husband and I decided to move back to India from Oregon, USA and that was one of the best decisions both of us made during that time. My son was born in the year 2007 and I slowly started to realize that my body was not able to cope with 4 pregnancies alongside handling the house. I frequently would suffer from vertigo and often struggled with disturbing thoughts, and I realized that my mental health began to slowly deteriorate. Around the same time, I lost my mom to cancer and life slowly became miserable. She was my support system and even now holds a special place in our hearts. She was a Krishna devotee and a positive soul who lived life to its fullest even during her last breath. I knew it was high time that I take control of my health so that I would be able to better support my friends and family. My journey with Yoga began right after this phase in my life and I visited numerous yoga institutions and private instructors. They were able to teach me the basics of yoga starting with suryanamaskaras and asanas. But during that time, I was very confused, and my mind was still in distress, and I felt like I was searching for something else and soon discontinued with these institutions. I also had to make sure that my physical health did not take the back seat, so I began to follow up with specialists in the field of homeopathy, alternative medicine, acupuncture, and counselling to settle my fears and disturbing thoughts. I was hoping that these practices would help transform my health and I would go back to living my healthy lifestyle again. Sadly, all of this did not improve my health because in in 2019 I was diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time. After my diagnosis, the little improvement that I noticed in my mental health came crashing down. Soon I found myself running behind multiple hospitals and getting recommendations from doctors all over the city. This was my breaking point and I realized that this was my last chance to turn my life around. With zero knowledge in medicine the only thing that helped me was positive thoughts and my true faith in God. Even through this dark time, where I would see my body struggling from chemotherapy and surgeries, happiness and positivity filled my soul. I never thought I would battle cancer and come out stronger but through thick and thin I was able to regain my health. During Covid-19, I spent a lot of time with my loved ones and learnt how to appreciate the learnings of every new day. I found my lost motivation to give my body the love it deserved. I started training with a physical trainer and sooner or later I started seeing positive results in my body and I could feel myself becoming stronger day by day. I reached a point in life where I looked physically healthy, and I was satisfied with the way my body looked even after many pregnancies and cancer. But my journey continued. I still felt empty on the inside and I felt that a piece of me was still lost in the process that was yet to be discovered. This is when I was introduced to Ganesh Guruji from 3G Yoga Chikitsalayam, and this was way beyond suryanamaskaras and asanas. He taught me how to live life for myself and helped me find my purpose. Thus, I embarked on this beautiful journey of self and was directly connected to God. In the last three months I witnessed the impact of positivity and was able to connect the mind, body, and soul to reach eternal happiness. So many aspects of my life changed, and I am happier than ever. I love my family and children so much that now I can let them go and give them strength to start their own journeys. I truly found my calling and would love to fulfil my mom’s dream in small ways and never look back. I hope that sharing my experience will help others find strength in their own lives to find their purpose.
