Welcome!Thank you for subscribing to the AMK JD Insights Newsletter. My name is Arlene Marie Karole, and my goal is to help you along your journey to healing by sharing information that helped me prior to, during, through survivorship and beyond. While having a diagnosis of breast cancer may be at first be shocking, with the innovative and exceptional advancements in medicines and technologies, we can and do go on to THRIVE. |

With Spring arriving just days away on Sunday, March 20, I can’t help but being reminded of a favorite song of mine by Bette Midler, The Rose. Here I’ve included a link to the song. Personally, I’ve found this song to be a metaphor for life’s ups and downs and for my journey through a breast cancer diagnosis. That no matter how tough things get in life there is always HOPE, there is always LOVE and always GROWTH on the other side. Wishing you a beautiful and blessed springtime! |   | |

Reduce anxiety with a
free yoga nidra video When I started to have anxiety about my impending surgery, I found, on the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center website a forty-minute free yoga nidra video that helped to greatly relieve her anxiety. Yoga nidra is a guided meditation to induce full-body relaxation and deep rest. It helps quiet the overactive mind and brings it into a conscious, meditative state. Yoga nidra has been found to reduce symptoms of anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder, chronic pain, and insomnia. |   | |
