You Have Diabetes, You Are NOT Diabetes (and why it's important to know the difference)

10/13/2018

In yoga philosophy and important concept is the idea of seer and seen. You the subject are observing an object. This object can be your breath, a symbol, a candle flame or it can be a health condition. In my case, it is type 1 diabetes. 

The ability to separate yourself from your condition is an essential tool in the journey towards self-mastery.


It is a relatively easy concept to understand from an intellectual perspective

You have a health condition and it does not define you.


​Yet it is harder to apply this wisdom when you are in the midst of a challenging moment.

When I can establish an awareness that I am observing the thoughts, sensations and feelings but that those things are not me it helps me to respond better to the highs and lows. 

If I am not aware the impulse to act and react to the thoughts, sensations and feelings is stronger than me. I may eat too much to treat a low. I can overly inject insulin. I can ignore the warning signs and further perpetuate a vicious cycle of highs and lows. I might not see clearly how my actions are responsible for what I am experiencing and not make appropriate changes. 

In this week's video you will learn how to:
  • Respond appropriately to type 1 diabetes (or any challenge)
  • Understand that you are more than your condition
  • Defuse negative responses to inevitable ups and downs
  • Modify your attitude about your condition
  • Create a lasting spaciousness between you (essential awareness) and type 1 diabetes (your condition)
