Every year breast cancer kills hundreds of thousands of women worldwide. In Nov 1993, Julie Friedeberger developed breast cancer and had a mastectomy. This powerful, inspiring book is the story of the inner journey that transformed her life, a journey that led her from terror, anger and denial, to acknowledgement and acceptance. A Visible Wound is much more than a personal story. It offers practical and spiritual help to others dealing with grave illness. Julie shares the simple yoga breathing and relaxation techniques that helped her through the challenge of cancer, and the exercises that restored her to full movement after surgery. Cancer has been for Julie an opportunity for spiritual growth and transformation. She believes that it can be so for others - that illness can be understood, and used, as a stepping-stone to healing and as a path to a richer , more rewarding life. Her experience in the face of life-changing disease will give insight and inspiration to others.
