BY-PASS SURGERY 

I had high blood pressure and was under heavy medication for numerous years.  After developing severe chest pain, I underwent a Coronary Angiography’s test and after the test and the treatment, I was recommended to undergo Coronary bypass in February 1992. In order to regain my health, I was put on a special low sodium, low fat, and low cholesterol diet.  After the by-pass I was feeling weak, tired, and had no stamina.  I was undergoing feelings of depression. 

 I took the Sudarshan Kriya in November 21, 1992.  In the beginning I didn`t feel any changes.  This may be due to the fact that I was not very  regular with the exercises and did note take it seriously.  However after 6 months, once again   I took the course and this time I was very keen and made sure I did my morning and evening practices` every day.  Very soon, I felt energy running through my body like a fountain had been opened inside me.  My entire body was energized.  I felt extremely relaxed, completely eliminated of stress. It was like  I  have just taken a magic tonic.  This feeling was so beautiful, it’s beyond explanation and ever since the experience I have been practicing  Sudarshan Kriya.  My energy level is very good and I am no longer depressed.  I continue to function at this energetic level to this day.

ARTHRITIS

Arthritis had been bothering me for some months.  It had started in my thumb and was now spreading, working it is way to the wrist of my right hand.  I  was becoming incapacitated.  I couldn’t  even twist open a jar or turn on a faucet.  I was wondering what would happen to my flute and guitar playing or my typing as the arthritis continued to spread.

 In this condition, I traveled to Switzerland to take a two-week, in-residence advanced course with Sri Ravishankar.  After returning home from Switzerland, I realized my hand did not hurt anymore.  It is completely healed.  The joints, which had become gnarled and distorted, are normal.  Frankly, I have come to take it for granted.  But it is a miracle.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE  

I had dangerously high blood pressure for 12 years.  Doctors tested my blood pressure twice a month and had also run an EKG to see if the high blood pressure had damaged my heart.  I was given very high doses of medication and told to constantly rest.  My pressure was so high; the doctors feared I could have a stroke at any time.

The doctors attributed my high blood pressure to hereditary factors.  My mother and her nine siblings all died of high blood pressure in there 30`s and 40`s and they could not find anything else to attribute my condition. I first learned The Healing Breath Technique in 1989. At that time I was very sick, having mostly bad days with barely enough energy to breathe. I was on a lot of medication, but my quality of life was still very low.  I used to get pain in my heart region, which the doctor said was due to the strain on my heart from the high blood pressure.  I couldn’t walk far, or climb a lot of stairs.  I felt like an invalid.  

 My improvement since that time has been gradual but constant, and I now lead a normal life.  I walk, climb stairs, and even dance; with doing all of these things I still get a little breathless, but I recover quickly. 

A few weeks ago I was driving down a hill when my brakes failed.  I was heading right for a busy road, but by Grace, no cars hit me.  I drove home quite calmly without brakes. Not even the stress of that situation effected my blood pressure to my pleasant surprise.  The Healing Breath Technique has really helped to give me a greater quality of life in every way.

MALIGNANT TUMOR

In the fall of 1995 I visited In Bangalore, India, and was initiated into the disciplineship of Sri.Ravi Shankar. Since then, with his blessing I have had the privilege of teaching several Healing Breath Workshops.  Two of these remain indelibly marked in my mind.  My maternal aunt in India had been diagnosed with metastatic, poorly differentiated malignant tumor in her neck with unknown primary. The prognosis was very poor.  After grueling weeks of chemotherapy and radiation, my uncle and aunt were persuaded to come visit with us.  As is turned out they arrived in Baltimore the same weekened as the Healing Breath Workshop was scheduled.  Both uncle and aunt gladly participated in the weekend course. 

On the second day of the course, much to our amazement the puckered biopsy scar sight on her neck was smooth and she felt a lot of warmth in the area.  Today, one and a half years later, she is healthy and well, and is the proud owner and director of a school for about 35 underprivileged children, whom she helps educated, clothe, and feed.
