My Kharma is my Darhma

Okay, bear with me because to some this may seem as if I have actually gone over the edge. But, hear me out. The past year has been a diffucult

one for the Badberg's. More specifically-Me. I have struggled with depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder(this was one psychiatrists diagnosis), I'm not bi-polar and as for this Dr. I would rather call him a Mad Scientist because he had me so pumped up with medications including adderall, psycotropes, valium etc. that I was litterally high as a kite during the day and virtually comotose at night. Great form of therapy! I am now off of all of those meds and have found an increddible Doctor that is truely helping me in my journey to wellness. She really cares, listens and doesn't want to just prescribe a majic pill so that I will be fine. As I have found, it doesn't work that way and anyone who thinks it could or should or has a Doctor that believes this should do more research and find a new Doctor.

The actual point of this post is to share a journey that I have embarked on that, If you find at all intriguing or promising, I can make some recommendations or share some of what I have learned. I am just profoundly touched by the lessons I am learing and the experiences I am involved in. Please also keep in mind that these books, yoga sessions, webcasts, lectures and the Zen Center may all be based in Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. but they encompass all religions and faiths and don't proselytize. The main goal is mindfullness and spiritual awakening.

Keep in mind, my journey has just begun so don't be expecting and guru advise or wisdom

Thank you all for your patience and understanding over the last year. Your support has been most important. Especially thank you to Tim and Gracie! How lucky I am to have such a devoted family. Shanti-Namaste.
