Seriously Loving This Somatic Yoga Thing Lately

Hey everyone!

Okay, so lately I've been diving into this thing called somatic yoga, and honestly? It's been kind of a game-changer. I know, I know, there are so many types of yoga out there, but this one feels different, you know? It's less about pushing yourself into crazy poses and more about just... feeling what's going on in your body.

And the cool thing is, it's actually doing some amazing stuff. Here's what I've been noticing:

That Weird Shoulder Tension? Finally Easing Up: You know that knot you didn't even realize was there? Somatic yoga has been so good at gently coaxing it to relax. It's like my body is finally exhaling.

Actually Knowing Where My Body Is in Space (Who Knew That Was a Thing?): This sounds kinda strange, but I'm way more aware of how I'm standing and moving now. My balance feels better, and I'm not bumping into things as much, haha.

Hello, Calm! : Seriously, after a session, I feel so much more chill. My brain isn't racing a mile a minute. It's like my nervous system just takes a big, happy sigh.

Getting More in Tune with Myself: This is a bit deeper, but I'm starting to notice how certain feelings show up in my body. It's like I'm understanding myself on a whole new level. Pretty wild!

Moving Feels Easier (Without Trying Too Hard): I'm not suddenly a contortionist, but things just feel less stiff. It's like my body appreciates the gentle approach.

It Feels... Safe? For someone who's maybe not always felt super comfortable in their body, this practice feels really gentle and accepting. It's about listening, not forcing.

Basically, somatic yoga has been this really lovely way to reconnect with myself. It's not about achieving some perfect pose; it's about just being present in your body and letting it unwind in its own way.

Anyone else tried somatic yoga? I'd love to hear your experiences!

5 Silent Cancer Warning Signs Most People Ignore 

Cancer often whispers before it screams — but are you listening? Many early symptoms are dismissed as minor ailments, delaying life-saving diagnoses. Here are five silent warning signs you should never ignore, along with actionable advice for early detection.

1. Unexplained Weight Loss (Without Diet or Exercise)

Why It’s Suspicious: Losing 5% of body weight (or 5+ kg) unintentionally within 6–12 months can signal cancers like pancreatic, stomach, lung, or esophageal. Tumors may alter metabolism or suppress appetite.

What to Do:

Track weight trends using a journal or app.

Rule out thyroid/diabetes issues first, but insist on cancer screening if no cause is found.

Indian Context: “Khoon kam ho gaya?” Don’t celebrate sudden weight loss — investigate!

2. Persistent Cough or Hoarseness (Lasting 3+ Weeks)

Why It’s Suspicious: A nagging cough (especially with blood) or voice changes may indicate lung, throat, or thyroid cancer. Smokers and tobacco users are at higher risk.

Red Flags:

Cough worsens at night.

Voice stays raspy despite home remedies (kadha, honey).

Action Plan:

Demand a chest X-ray or endoscopy if symptoms persist.

Tobacco users: Quit NOW and schedule a screening.

3. Unusual Fatigue That Won’t Quit

Why It’s Suspicious: Constant exhaustion (even after rest) can stem from blood cancers (leukemia, lymphoma) or tumors causing internal bleeding (colon/stomach).

Key Difference:

Normal tiredness improves with sleep.

Cancer fatigue feels crushing and relentless.

Indian Hack: If chai-naps don’t help, get a CBC (Complete Blood Count) test.

4. Persistent Pain (Without Injury)

Why It’s Suspicious: Ongoing headaches (brain tumors), back pain (ovarian/pancreatic cancer), or bone aches (metastasis) need evaluation.

When to Worry:

Pain lasts weeks, isn’t linked to strain, and resists painkillers.

Night pain that disrupts sleep is a major red flag.

Tests to Request:

MRI/CT scans for localized pain.

Tumor markers if family history exists.

5. Changes in Bathroom Habits

Why It’s Suspicious:

Blood in stool/urine: Colon, bladder, or kidney cancer.

Diarrhea/constipation swings: Ovarian or colorectal tumors.

Difficulty swallowing: Esophageal cancer.

Indian Red Flags:

Assuming blood is “piles” without a colonoscopy.

Ignoring frequent UTIs (could be bladder cancer).

Screening Musts:

Age 40+: Annual occult blood test.

Age 50+: Colonoscopy, even if asymptomatic.

Why Early Detection Saves Lives

Stage 1 vs. Stage 4: Survival rates plummet from 90% to 20% for many cancers if delayed.

Indian Reality: 70% of cancers are diagnosed late due to stigma or lack of awareness.

What You Can Do TODAY

Listen to Your Body: Note symptoms lasting 3+ weeks.

Push for Tests: Doctors may dismiss concerns — insist on screenings.

Preventive Steps:

Vaccinate (HPV, Hepatitis B).

Quit tobacco/alcohol.

Eat fiber-rich, processed-food-free diets.

Your Body, Your Clues: Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore

Your body often speaks before a serious illness strikes—but are you listening?

Subtle symptoms like frequent fatigue, chest tightness, unexplained weight loss, or irregular periods can be early warning signs of underlying health issues. Don’t brush them off as “just stress” or “too much work.”

The Lady Physician in Vadodara, Dr. Reema Solanki Chauhan at Shivaay Hospicare, emphasizes the importance of early detection and timely medical attention. Whether it’s shortness of breath, changes in bowel habits, or recurring headaches—every clue matters.

Often, women tend to ignore their own symptoms while caring for others. But putting your health last can have long-term consequences. At our clinic, we provide a safe, judgment-free environment for discussing your concerns, no matter how small they may seem.

Your body is smarter than you think. It sends signals—listen to them. If something feels off, it’s worth a visit.

Rest, Rainclouds, and a Splash of Colour

This morning started just like any other—bowl of cereal, sleepy eyes, and plans to head off to work. But after breakfast, I laid down for a quick rest since I couldn’t shower post-procedure. That "quick rest" turned into a deeper nap than expected… and when I woke 45 minutes later, my body made the decision for me.

I called in sick.

Not because I wanted a day off, but because I needed one. My body was still aching, and my heart needed a little extra cloud-cover to heal. Mum called, and without hesitation, said she thought I’d stay home anyway. It felt good to feel understood.

The rest gave me more than just a break—it gave me time. Time to breathe. Time to heal. Time to finish redesigning my fifth colouring book (yay!). And when I’m ready, I’ll start putting those finishing touches on the website rebrand and relaunch.

Even cloudy days can hold a little colour. —Cloudy Cheer 🌧🖍

🍟🍕🍩 That Intense Junk Food Craving? It's Not Just Lack of Willpower! Here's Why & How to Outsmart It

Ever find yourself practically haunted by the thought of chips, cookies, or pizza, even when you're not truly hungry? 😩 You try to resist, but the craving feels HUGE and eventually, you cave... only to feel guilty later?

STOP beating yourself up! Junk food cravings are complex, driven by a mix of biology, psychology, and habit. It's not just about willpower! Understanding why they hit can be the first step to managing them.

What's Fueling Those Cravings?

Your Brain's Reward System 🧠: Junk foods (high in sugar, fat, salt) trigger a dopamine release in your brain – the same neurotransmitter linked to pleasure and reward. Your brain essentially says, "YES! Do that again!" creating a powerful feedback loop.

The Blood Sugar Rollercoaster 🎢: Sugary/refined carb snacks cause a rapid blood sugar spike, followed by a crash. When you crash, your body screams for more quick energy... often leading you right back to more junk.

Habit & Association 🔗: Always eat popcorn during movies? Crave sweets when stressed? These become learned associations. Your brain links the cue (movie, stress) with the reward (snack), making the craving almost automatic.

Gut Feelings (Literally!) 🦠: Your gut microbiome (the trillions of bacteria in your gut) can influence cravings! Some bacteria thrive on sugar and may send signals to your brain demanding more of their preferred fuel.

Emotional Triggers ❤️‍🩹: Feeling stressed, sad, bored, or even celebrating? Many of us learn to use food (especially comfort food) to cope with or enhance emotions.

Lack of Sleep & Hydration 😴💧: Being tired messes with hunger hormones (ghrelin and leptin), increasing cravings. Dehydration can also sometimes be mistaken for hunger.

Okay, So How Do We Outsmart Them? (Hint: Not Just Denial!)

Identify Your Triggers: Notice when and why cravings strike. Are you stressed? Bored? Tired? Watching TV? Awareness is power.

Hydrate First: Before grabbing the junk, drink a big glass of water and wait 10-15 minutes. Sometimes thirst masquerades as hunger.

Eat Balanced Meals: Prioritize protein, healthy fats, and fiber in your main meals. This keeps blood sugar stable and prevents energy crashes that trigger desperate cravings.

Have Healthy Swaps Ready: If you know you crave crunchy things, keep nuts, seeds, or crunchy veggies handy. Crave sweet? Have fruit or Greek yogurt available. Preparation is key!

Manage Stress Differently: Find non-food coping mechanisms for stress – go for a walk, listen to music, deep breathe, journal, call a friend.

Prioritize Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep to help regulate those hunger hormones.

Practice Mindful Indulgence: If you really want the treat, allow yourself a small portion. Eat it slowly, savor it without guilt or distraction. Often, a little satisfies the craving without derailing you.

Crowd Out, Don't Just Cut Out: Focus on adding more nutrient-dense whole foods to your diet. This naturally leaves less room and desire for junk.

Understanding your cravings makes them less mysterious and powerful. Be patient and compassionate with yourself – it's about building awareness and healthier habits, one choice at a time. ✨

"The Secret to Feeling Better: It's Simpler Than You Think" "Sometimes, the best thing you can do for yourself is to take a break". Sophie was generally feeling exhausted for weeks. Every morning was the same: wake up and rush through chores, get back to work, and then fall into bed as exhausted as ever. She didn't know how much she needed a break until one particular afternoon, when she just couldn't take it anymore. One weekend, Sophie decided to try something different. She didn’t set an alarm, didn’t check her phone first thing, and didn’t worry about anything. She made her favorite hot chocolate, sat by the window, and just watched the rain. It was peaceful. She didn’t have to be anywhere, and no one needed anything from her. At that very moment, Sophie came to understand how critical it was just to stop. There was no need for drastic changes; the small moments of slowdown could really make a lot of difference. Sometimes, the answer to feeling better did not lie in doing something more but perhaps doing less. By the weekend's end, Sophie felt rejuvenated. She learned that taking good care of herself was not a privilege but something she should do every day.
