‘M s Shreya used to get sonography done at my clinic, and most of the time, the diagnosis was bulky uterus and thickened endometrium. The last scan taken on 9/4/13 showed normal uterus and no abnormality. I was happy to learn from her that she was taking precautions and has become healthy. She should share this experience with as many people as possible’ (Dr Rajeev Nagi, MD (radio diagnosis), proprietor of Nagi Imaging X-Ray and Ultrasound Clinic, Nagpur, India).

‘Shreya came to my clinic for menorrhagia and related symptoms. She responded well to the treatment as she was regular. I am happy to know that she overcame the disease without surgery’ (Dr Veena Deo, MD, BAMS, Ayurvedic practitioner, nadi tadnya (Reg. No. I-16535)).

‘Shreya was my patient for minerics therapy for eighteen months for menopausal syndrome (endometriosis and bulky uterus). She responded very well to this therapy. She was very regular and gave the needed information at the right time; hence, results were positive’ (Dr Farwah Husain, DHMS Reg. (No. 14781), Healix Medical Centre).

‘We are delighted to learn that Shreya could benefit from panchakarma treatment. I strongly believe that her positive attitude and smiling nature had a big role to play in the recovery process. We take pride in our customised detoxification programme and top quality herbs. Testimonials from valued guests like her give us confidence to evolve, improve in order to benefit society at large’ (Ms Shruti Singhal, CEO of Baidyanath Life Sciences).

Navakarma for Holistic Healing

While the story is mine, the journey was successful because of contributions from various people, systems, beliefs, which provided insight at different stages. The book is based on my healing experience using natural remedies with a scientific approach. The chapter ‘Thirty-Six Months to a Healthy Uterus’ documents the events and marks the role of the womb for the specific period of nine months in every woman’s life. It also signifies the patience required for thirty-six-months healing tenure. The healing might have started earlier, but it showed the positive results (normal uterus and endometrium) only after thirty-six months. I am writing this book in 2016, and I can assure you that healing is complete.

The advice from doctors of all streams (allopathy, Ayurvedic, homeopathy) and my parents, husband, sister, brother, sister-in-laws, and supportive children, Nishchay and Stuti, made this happen. My children and husband especially contributed in the making of this book by providing needed help in mudra pictures, diagrams, flow charts, book title, etc.

Spiritual master Dr Balaji Tambe’s CDs Yoga Nidra I and II were my guardian angels since 1995. He is my sound guru because, by listening to these particular CDs, I was able to experience light in my heart chakra in May 2005, and I listened to these CDs for at least 200 days out of the 365 days without fail since 2005. They were instrumental in strengthening my meditation journey. I am indebted and deeply grateful for the experience I have gained from his healing music.

My father, Kamal Narayan Seetha, brought a wealth of experience in our life. He is an accomplished person in the field of yoga, rudraksha (a spiritual bead from India), and chakra meditation using sound and colour therapy. He has authored The Power of Rudraksha, a bestseller in the segment. He is a gifted therapist and a perpetual researcher in the fields of chakra meditation and healthy living.

A guided chakra meditation CD named Santulan is an amazing creation by him along with Indian musicians. In this CD, the ancient beej mantra (sound) and colour (light) associated with each sound and the location of energy centres is explained and sung according to each chakra in such a way that they energise the chakras. This composition takes you to a level where you experience self-realisation.

The Apple Artwork Eternal Identity

It is so aptly said that when you want something, the universe transpires to make it happen for you. I reside just 2 kilometres away from Sachee Art Gallery, which is located in an area called Sadar (Nagpur, India), and for all the two decades of my stay in Nagpur, I never stepped into it although I passed by it several times.

When the decision to finally make the book happen had taken place in my mind, I told my daughter one day, ‘Let’s check out some artefacts for home decoration or gift purposes at Sachee.’ This was where this painting caught my attention. The artist had drawn a correlation between an apple and the womb. I was always emotional about the womb being the nurturer of life, and the removal of the womb being suggested was shaking my consciousness.

On my enquiry about it at the art gallery, the gracious owner connected me to the artist.

The apple might have been the forbidden fruit, but that didn’t stop artist Wahida Ahmed from making it her muse.

‘Have you noticed an apple?’ she asked. ‘For me, it resembles the womb of a woman, where the origin of life takes place, and that’s where my interest in painting apples began.’

I asked her about the beehive-like structure on the apple, and she said, ‘Bees are like humans, especially women. They work hard not just for themselves but for the entire family.’

The cover page work shows an apple having an old tree growing out of it and with birds returning
