Summary: War correspondent Brad Willis was accustomed to risk. But when mortal danger came, it was from an unexpected direction. A broken back and failed surgery left Willis permanently disabled and condemned to life in a body brace. Then came a diagnosis of terminal, stage IV throat cancer. Willis chose to abandon Western medicine and embrace the most esoteric practices of Yoga to heal his body, mind, and soul. As a symbol of his journey, he took the spiritual name Bhava Ram, which stands for "Living from the Heart."
