RETURNING TO LIGHT
Since my childhood in Ecuador, I recognized that we all come with gifts. We all have talents that we are here to develop. When I was kid, somehow the knowingness of creative energy flowing through me was very present. I knew that I, like every being, had my own gifts and talents, and if I continued through my life exploring my gifts, I would experience the life that I was born to live. How did I come to have this awareness at such an early age? My mother recognized even before I was born that I was unusual and when I was a child she treated me differently. She was more free with me. She had trust in me. She gave me more space to be myself. My dad was by religion Christian and was a student of Metaphysics and Hermetic Teachings; while my mother was Christian. I’d accompany my mother to her Christian church, where she was a devoted member. There I learned that there’s a creative energy that originated all things. She also had an intuitive awareness of each person’s energy. We’d run into friends or someone in the street and stop to chat; later she’d say, did you feel that person’s energy? At first I didn’t, but gradually I became aware of how people transmit energy. As a child, I began to discover my creative energy. I’d write poetry. I felt God’s love and my heart was filled with a fresh and playful devotion. It was effortless. At one point they asked me to share some of it in church. I was very nervous but managed to do it. The loving response, the applause and smiles from the other devotees, charged me with more faith and belief in a divine and intelligent source of energy that was manifesting in me in an artistic way. After having lived in Guayaquil, Ecuador, from age six until eleven, I returned with my family to my birth city, Quito, the capital of Ecuador. When I was 15, I really wanted to continue as an artist and encouraged my parents to homeschool me so I could pursue my learning and artistic career independently. This was difficult for them to accept, especially my dad. It took some months before they accepted my decision. But my dad saw my determination. He saw me pursuing my talents, painting, writing and playing music, every single day. When I finally got their permission, I felt a huge relief. I had permission to be myself. I knew I’d be a better human being if I followed my true path. I wanted to be an artist, to be a conduit of Art and Creative Energy and I trusted this energy to guide me and shape my destiny and life. I believed in art as a way to connect with the inspiration and intelligence of my soul. I began writing hip hop and R&B music, and at 17 created my first band, of which I was the vocalist. My friends were from the United States and we came together through music. We recorded our first cassette—remember those?—in 1996. One of the guys had set up a studio in a bedroom of his home and that’s where we recorded. I started managing bands, finding locations for their concerts, and earning money to live independently. I was living in an artists’ neighborhood of Quito, which is a very multicultural city. There I met a Chilean painter and traveler who used spray paint cans to create extraordinary paintings. He invited me to watch him and learn from him —how he used color and planes. He was inspiring and I decided to try it. I bought supplies and started to practice. Since then I fell in love with painting, and practiced every day, first at home and then in the park. People would watch me and ask questions. I had no intention of selling my paintings then. I saw myself as a beginner, still learning. A lady wanted to buy a painting and I said, no, I’m not a professional. I’m just practicing. She said, it’s beautiful. How do you know you’re not a professional? Please sell it to me. I had no idea how to price it and accepted what she offered. I was so happy to receive her offering, and I learned an important lesson from her. Yes, I was ready. I realized that Art is infinite and multidimensional. I could have a life as a painter!. It changed my life entirely. She was the one who gave me immense confidence. I continued to paint at home and outdoors. I learned from others how to exhibit and sell. I liked to paint in front of people; they would stand around and watch me paint. Groups of people at a time would watch, finding it fascinating. Someone would buy the painting at the end. I was making good money, selling lots of paintings every day as well as connecting with people for custom painting jobs. I felt I was living my path. I also realized I could do this anywhere. I started traveling throughout my country and exhibiting in galleries, restaurants, and farmers’ markets. Then I realized I could go anywhere in the world. At this point I had a thriving business, painting murals and decorating hotels and restaurants. Suddenly the spiritual call came! I was ready for the next level of awakening. I began to question myself and the world around me, Who I am really? What is my true purpose of life?, What do I have to offer to the world? THE POWER OF GIVING I felt the call to use my art for something greater than making money, to discover my true purpose not only as an artist but as a human being, to find the connection with my spiritual force. I knew there was something amazing awaiting. I decided to embark on a new and long travel and to free myself from the exhausting rules and limitations of society and the embedded attachment to money. I became aware of my belief system and patterns that were unhealthy and negative, and understood that in order to become the best human being possible, I had to use the experiences of travel to learn new things and reinvent myself. In the next weeks I gave away all my possessions, said goodbye to my parents, and set out to travel. I took a bus to the Peruvian border. I had money in the bank, a debit card in my pocket, and lots of confidence. The next morning, the bus rolled into Peru. A new adventure had begun. I stayed in a small town of white sand, golden sunsets, and surf, called Mancora. Two days later, I ran out of cash and headed to the ATM. I was stunned to discover that my debit card didn’t work outside my country. What to do now? I had less than $10 in my pocket. My first thought was, should I go back to Ecuador? As I tuned in to my inner self to comprehend that I needed to be stronger, that there would be challenges as well joys on the path, and that everything that was happening was a perfect and accepted part of the journey, I rejected the idea of going back to Ecuador only for money. Instead a strong inner voice told me, Go do art, Go paint! From the art something extraordinary will happen!. So I started painting on the tourist beaches and selling my work as well decorating with murals all sorts of commercial businesses. I kept repeating to myself: “I have power. The power is the art, the talent, the creative energy. I kept traveling and had many magical experiences. I was drawn to visit the historic Inca sanctuary at Machu Picchu, in Peru, to experience this sacred space and its fabled beauty. I took a bus to Cusco, high in the mountains. There was a moment when we were above the clouds, so far up in the highlands of Peru that it seemed I could see the sun face to face. It was so exciting. I saw the indescribable beauty of nature and the immense power of Mother Earth. It was majestic. The faces of the local people fascinated me. Strong sun—darkened skin with Inca features. Different from any I had ever seen. People conscious of the energies of the Cosmos and the Earth. Cusco is in an ancient, hidden valley, sacred to the Andean culture. It’s in the Peruvian Andes, and is the historic capital of the Inca Empire. It’s a bright, beautiful city which draws travelers and tourists from all corners of the world. Walking barefoot in hidden ruins, breathing the clear air, bathing in the river, I felt nature was inviting me to receive her immense power. I was being baptized in the waters of nature. I felt cleansed and pure and healed just by being in these places, walking from one to the next. My next adventure took me to Lake Titicaca, the biggest and highest lake in South America by volume, on the border between Peru and Bolivia. I had heard many stories about this lake, within which are the Island of the Sun and the Island of the Moon, each with its own ancient temple for the Incas. All my travels seemed like preparation for getting to know this sacred lake. The bus arrived in the very early, freezing cold morning. We slept on the bus, which was the only warm place, and waited for the sun. It was so cold that the edge of the lake was frozen. At 5 am the sun rose out of the lake. We were so high up, it seemed as though I could touch the clouds just above my head. The lake was so vast, it seemed like an ocean. The local people seemed very small to me. They had dark skin, strong faces, and strong bodies. They were Inca people, the original Andean inhabitants. Until now I had traveled to countries where they spoke Spanish, and I had felt right at home. Here they spoke a different language I didn’t understand. I was treated as a foreigner and sometimes as a gringo for the first time ever, because I looked different. The twin-engine boat traveled four hours into the lake. It was packed with people and animals, food and plants, locals and tourists. All sought to discover the Sacred Inca Temple and power of Pacha Mama. Pacha Mama, the Earth Mother, is a goddess revered by the indigenous people of the Andes. I could see deep into the water, it was so clear. We landed on the Island of the Sun, on the Peruvian side. The island had no electricity, no cars, no streets, no machines. I felt as though I was in an elf town. The stone houses were very small, with straw roofs. The doors were tiny and so were the rooms. The paths were made of island stone. There were certainly no hotels. The only way to stay there was to be hosted by a local family. They cooked over a fire, simple foods, potatoes, corn, fava beans. My hosts were an old family with one son. The elder of the family piloted the boat and carried my very heavy backpack. He was incredibly strong. He led us down a stone path to his tiny Hobbit house made of rock and adobe. The straw roof consisted of many layers of mud and straw. It was freezing on the island at night. We’d gather in the tiny kitchen and sit by the fire in silence. It was calm and peaceful and we listened to the water. The family spoke a language unknown to me, but we managed to communicate the essentials. Theirs is the language of contemplation. They lived by the guidance of nature, waking and going to sleep, planting and harvesting according to what nature communicated to them. They read nature the way we read books. I’d watch the kids running around and playing, healthy and free. They were amazed to see a foreigner, someone who looked and dressed differently. I found myself observing rather than interacting. In addition to my martial arts practice, I had been doing tai chi and chi gong. I would run on the island, climb the rocks, then sit there and breathe deeply, feeling tremendous energy coming into my body. I was receiving the power of the lake and feeling its sacredness. The air was different, holding an ancient message. It was pure bliss to feel the power of nature with each breath an indescribable experience. I heard Pacha Mama’s voice in the air, whispering, calling me to go deeper into discovery of the sacred water of the lake, inviting me to bathe and be baptized. The next leg of my journey took me to the Bolivian side, to the city of Puno. From there I took the bus to Copacabana, a multicultural port city which drew many tourists who had heard the history and legends of these ancient civilizations, Lemurians, Atlantis, Tiwanaku, Incas. I continued to exhibit and sell my paintings, but my focus had changed. I became more aware of my mission, which was to apply what I had learned on the sacred island and discover the mysteries of nature’s intelligence and spirit. To that end, I soon headed back to the lake in the early morning, this time on the Bolivian side. After a four-hour ride, I saw the dragon. First only the tail, and then the whole dragon. When you see the Island of the Sun from a certain angle, you see its shape as a dragon resting over the water. It made me think of stories I had read and heard as a child, stories of Mount Olympus and the Greek gods. It was as if this place was the repository of all the mystic histories of the world, including the story of the Inca ruler Huayna Capac emerging from a rock on the island. To walk in that place and feel the power of Pacha was transformative. Pacha refers to nature, to the power of the cosmos. I climbed the steep stairs carved in the rock, part of the ruins the island is famous for. There were channels for water. Fresh spring water flowed from the rocks at the top of the ruins, refreshing those who made the climb. It was a two-hour hike up-hill. Instead of heading back where I had come from, I went down the other side, where few tourists ventured. The people there spoke some Spanish. I met a local who told me the history of the place. He rented me a room in his traditional home. It had a beautiful garden and was 20 meters from the lake. This was my dream. My body started to adjust to the rhythms of nature. I woke at sunrise and went to bed when I felt the evening chill. We cooked over a fire. Some nights we’d make a fire and sit outside and watch the stars. They were unbelievably bright and so close, it was as if I could touch them. This was partly because of the high elevation and partly because the lack of electric lights on the island made them more visible. I was lucky to meet a Chilean archeologist who had come to the island to study the rocks. He took me to see what he had found on previous trips: huge rocks, four feet in diameter. They were like puzzle pieces that formed a dragon shape. One was the head, with what looked like a carved dragon face. You can see platforms and pillars of rock under the clear water, which recall the lost Atlantis civilization. I enjoyed taking my mattress outside and falling asleep on the shore of the lake. My body got used to swimming in the freezing cold lake. I felt so free, at one with nature. I no longer needed a hot shower to enjoy what was in front of me. I learned to enjoy hard nature. I felt more deeply connected to Prana, to nature’s tangible energy. My diet was changing. Eating the island’s simple vegetarian fare cooked over a fire, I found my connection to food changing as my consciousness grew. It seemed to me that for the first time I could tap and appreciate the magnificent beauty of nature and not feel separated from it. Being in the sacred air and water showed me how people of the earth live and communicate and receive the message of nature. Leaving the island was like leaving a piece of my heart behind. But I also took something new with me. I knew I had to continue on; this was only a step of my journey, only the beginning. At the lake, my spirit awakened to the call of nature, and I wanted to know more about the wisdom it holds. After my island experience, I traveled through Bolivia, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, and Ecuador. Following the call of Pacha Mama, I learned about sacred plants, and how to use them as medicine. In a small Bolivian town, I camped by the river, writing music. There I met a shaman, called Waira or Viento, an Amauta or Priest of the Andean Culture and Cosmo Vision, who sold all kinds of medicinal plants and fruit in the market. He was the Shaman of spiritual plants. From him I learned about the cactus of San Pedro or Agua Cholla. I asked him the best way to receive healing and positive insights from the spiritual plants, as they called them with respect, thinking he’d tell me to do so under the guidance of a shaman. Instead, he said, just go and connect. Talk to the earth. Talk to the plant. Ask it for what you want to experience. The plant will respond when you experience it. Connect with it in your own way. He empowered me to stay close to my true self and not depend on other people. On the Altiplano, the Bolivian highlands, I walked the hills and forests. They were full of the cactus. One cactus captured my attention. I felt that was the cactus I was supposed to prepare the medicine with. I spent the rest of the day with it, and camped by its side that night. The next day, to experience the medicine of this sacred plant, I offered a prayer and cut off a two-foot branch. I rolled it in my jacket, put it in my backpack, and brought it to my little garden apartment in town. I asked the Amauta in the market the best way to cook it and prepared the medicine, then cooked it over a fire all night. I slept soundly by the fire, in the innocence of discovering something new and not knowing how it will end. At sunrise I went back to the forest and drank the medicine. There I prayed and felt connected to the earth. I felt safe, immersed in a kind of a subtle energy that relaxed me. It opened my eyes to begin to see the good things of life and the present moment that I was in. Walking in the forest with no expectations, my senses and perceptions sharpened and lifted. I could see energy in all things. I saw the earth breathing and everything energetically alive. That’s what the plant wanted to show me. There seemed to be a translucent glow around my hands. The plant expanded my senses and consciousness very gently, as if knowing who I was. I was in love with what I saw, in love with nature, in love with being alive in a different country and culture. The plant opened me to the newness of life. While traveling in Bolivia, I learned the beautiful and ancient culture indigenous to that country, their living codes, the abundance, the grace of giving instead of taking. It is so connected with the earth, connected with the cosmos, connected with the simplicity of living. The beautiful people I met along the way, in tune with nature, were the key to my awakening. They had come to me for a reason. They had come to awaken in me the will to become a giver instead of a taker. I felt so inspired to give something valuable to humanity, to make of my life a tool to catalyze other people’s awakening, inspiration, or art. I said to myself, “From now on, I’m going to stop taking and I’m going to start only giving.” And that is when I decided to completely surrender to the flow of creative energy and to sharing my art and my talents with kids. While working with kids, my consciousness was evolving. Sharing the gift of art and seeing the kids’ talents being awakened gave me playfulness, great joy, and love. It was so uplifting and so rich for my spirit. At the same time, I was getting more deeply in tune with myself. While I was in Ecuador in 2005, I discovered the Shamanic Ceremony of the Sweat Lodge, which is also called Temazcal. For this ceremony, we go inside the womb of the mother earth to sweat, to sing, to pray for healing and for helping the planet and all the things that we want and wish for humanity. The first time I participated in a Temazcal, it made me aware of my own fears. I was in this closed dome-like cabin, sweating a lot. Everything was extremely hot and dark. A lot of feelings surfaced as my mind began to create all kinds of thoughts and excuses. “I’m going to die.” “What am I doing here? This is so hot.” I just wanted to escape. By feeling those emotions within me, I became aware that there was some kind of fear within me. And instead of hiding from the fear, I reached that strength within me to face it, to face the fear. So being in this hot space, I was able to calm down all this fear, and just breathe slowly, breathe consciously. I prayed for healing within the womb of mother earth. At the end of the ceremony, I felt very powerful, very strong within myself, physically and spiritually. And somehow I felt that this was my next step, that this was what life was inviting me to participate in now. So I stayed in Ecuador in this beautiful town called Vilcabamba or The Sacred Valley of Longevity. I had a beautiful friend, Miguel, who was a shaman from Chile. He used to lead the sweat lodges. Because I was there and I wanted to experience and continue growing, he invited me to participate and help him in the creation of the ceremony. So I became the guardian of the fire, taking care of the fire for the sweat lodge. Being in this environment with people who come to heal and to pray and to be connected with the earth, helped me get ready to take the next step and become somebody who could create healing for groups. I stayed in this town for two years, practicing constantly, being in the sweat lodge, and learning the little details and what it means to be somebody who holds a space for other people to heal. After receiving this gift and this knowledge, I decided to travel again through South America, this time sharing the sweat lodge ceremony and the art of healing. BECOMING A MEDICINE MAN
It seemed that, for me, the physical art of music and painting was transformed into a non-physical art, the art of healing, another realm of spirituality. There is art that you see and touch, and art of another realm, the art of empowering people, of uplifting their spirit with a smile, with the energy we radiate. It’s an art that makes you humble, because you can’t exhibit it. By traveling with the sweat lodge through Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador, sharing with many groups, I was able to see people healing, their eyes becoming so bright, their skin glowing with the empowerment they received. And for me it was empowering, uplifting, and rich to see that and to be the person who was helping it happen. I continued traveling. In addition to offering art workshops for kids, I was teaching and guiding the sweat lodge ceremony for adults. So every full moon, we would share a lodge. While holding space for other people to heal, and putting a lot of passion and love into that, I felt that I was experiencing the evolution of my consciousness. MEETING MY WIFE
After more travels, girlfriends, painting, and learning, I headed back to my home country, Ecuador. By day I was an artist with a booth in the tourist market, and by night I did fire dancing performances at a restaurant that catered to tourists. Fire dancing was a form of meditation for me, a way to connect with the element of fire. It was powerful and magical to feel fire’s powerful energy spinning around my body, the concentration on the fire and the synchronicity of the flame with my body’s movement. After every show I felt like a warrior of Light and Fire, vibrating. The night I met Camila, I was so focused on my performance that for a while I didn’t know she was there, right up front, watching me. When I turned and saw her eyes, I immediately felt an electric current in my skin. That two-second eye contact was powerful and electrifying. In that moment, my whole life changed. Beautiful Camila was pure light, innocence, and perfection. After the performance I approached her, and we interacted very briefly. The next day, I was walking along the ocean as usual when I saw her coming. Once again, I felt the electricity. We didn’t speak, but I sensed that we were on the same path. I had planned to go to Quito and see my mom. I packed my stuff, said goodbye to my friends, and got on the bus. After we had traveled ten blocks, a voice within my heart told me not to go. I got off the bus and went back to my hotel. My friends laughed to see me come back. I was confused. Should I follow my feelings? What was my destiny? So I went back to the beach in a state of unknowingness, and looked up at the sky. Two beautiful birds were coming from the right. Another bird was flying along from the left. The two met the one. One of the two joined the one. The remaining one went on alone. That was the message that came to me from nature. My separateness was leaving me so that I could connect with a new person. This was my path. I went looking for Camila to tell her what I felt, to ask for the opportunity to show her how much I could love her and how happy she would be. She accepted me. We connected very deeply, and quickly became very close. We were in love. After coming together and exploring love. we traveled on, teaching art to kids and doing sweat lodges. We explored the world of spiritual plants together and ultimately did the 21-Day Process together. We met in 2005 and got married in 2008. I believe that because I was ready, because I was in a specific state of consciousness, from which I could receive this new state of living in light, the Pranic Breath Airian Process came knocking at my door. CHAPTER TWO
THE LIGHT PROCESS CAME LOOKING FOR ME
I was in Sorata, Bolivia, renting a riverside house with a farm that contained peaches, chirimoyas, corn, tomatoes, potatoes, fava beans and more, at the same time Camila and I were building an ecological house intended to be given as a community center for the children of the town. It was a round house made of adobe and natural resources of the same area. One day in the summer of 2007, Hari, a woman from Argentina, came knocking on the door. She told us she was looking for a place to do her 21-Day Process of living on light. I was intrigued and asked about it. Basically, she told me that it was a Process to purify the body and its energy as well to learn how to nourish the body on Prana, the possibility for the body to recalibrate and take advantage of another source of energy that can enhance its overall health and spiritual growth. And by taking in this energy, the need for food decreases. At the beginning, it took me two days to understand the concept and to actually allow my feelings to arise. The concept of feeding the physical body from cosmic energy instead of food seemed at first to be a revolutionary idea. But the more I thought about it, the more it seemed logical that human beings could absorb energy in greater quantities of photonics, light from the Sun and natural sources, just like plants and other living thing in the universe. It was in accordance with what I have learned when practicing Taekwondo, Tai Chi and Chi Kung; one of the practices with my sensei was to breathe consciously and expand my senses to perceive the energy around me. It’s not enough for the mind to understand; I started to feel what that might mean for me. And also to realize that it was in front of me, having come unexpectedly to my door. So this lady rented a room very close to where I was living. And she invited another person who had already completed the Process to come and take care of her while she was doing her 21-Day Process. VICTOR TRUVIANO, THE MAN WHO DOESN’T EAT OR DRINK AT ALL
I was very curious to meet Victor. Hari told me extraordinary stories of him and that he had not been eating and drinking for one year. The day they arrived, I felt that an amazing pure energy has landed in the town and the property where we were staying. Hari was so excited and wanted me to meet Victor. After I met Victor and experienced his overflowing energy we had many uplifting conversations. I was able to see Hari doing her 21-Day Process that includes seven days of dry fast, to purify the deep toxins of the body, drinking nothing at all and eating nothing at all, and after it fourteen days of drinking very thin juices. From my home nearby, I was able to feel the field of energy within them, through them, through that Process. I had much respect for this being who came and shared the existence of the Process with me. And I said to myself, “This has landed in front of me. I’m going to take the opportunity and try it for myself.” I decided to try it by doing a four-day experimental Process on my own. That was one day of dry fasting, not drinking or eating anything, and three days of drinking juices. I went on giving permission to myself to feel something new and different. I practiced meditation, breathing, Chi Kung and movements that help me feel the Prana. MY OWN PROCESS TO CONNECT WITH PRANA ENERGY I did this experiment with myself, and I felt so good during and after. I felt so free, so clean and healed, so pure, so uplifted, that I just fell in love with that sensation of being embraced by energy. I realized that the 21-Day Process would be my next step. I decided to do the Process after six months, to give me enough time to prepare my physical body. So in those six months of preparation, I ate only fruits and drank only juices. And when the time came for the Process in March of 2008, I was completely ready for it. For the first seven days I did not eat or drink anything. And then for the next 14 days I drank only water-diluted fruit juices. During the Process, somehow the hunger disappeared. The hunger started to fade away. What this Process did to me was very transformative. For example, I experienced a lot of emotional healing, because I was able to face my fears very clearly, including the fear of death; because in those seven days of not drinking, I felt like, “I’m not going to make it.” I experienced many fears and was able to face them. In the fifth day of this dry week, I was feeling very uncomfortable with my body. There was a lot of deep detoxification. I was mentally, emotionally, and physically detoxing. I was very weak and uncomfortable. My breath was shallow. My heartbeat was very intense. I felt that I was dying. I literally felt my body dying. And I didn’t know how to stop the feeling. I didn’t know what I could do to reverse it because I was so deep into it. I went to my bed to try to sleep, but I couldn’t. My heartbeat was so fast, pumping through my chest very intensely. My breathing was so shallow. I thought to myself, “Oh my god. I’m actually dying.” And somehow, while I was experiencing this kind of momentary death, a part of me said, “Okay. Just let yourself die. Don’t be afraid. You have shared your gift. You have had a beautiful life. It’s fine to die. Just die.” And when I accepted that possibility, I physically died. So I felt my body slowly dying. And somehow, my consciousness was still present. I was conscious that my body was dead but I was still alive. My spiritual body was breathing and my consciousness was still alive. I had this realization that life is eternal, that only our physical bodies die if we want them to die. I was experiencing this very beautiful state of death in which everything was light, down below me was light, up above me was light, all around me was light. And there was this deep and beautiful state of comfort and safety. It was like feeling at home. And while I was there, I was just enjoying that state, and remembering that that was me, that that was me as a soul merging with the soul of the universe. In a moment, I received a message from this Light Source that told me, “Just breathe.” My consciousness received that message and it was transmitted to my physical body. My whole being took a deep breath and my consciousness, my soul spirit returned to my physical body and in that moment I began breathing again, but it was a different breathing pattern, relaxed and deep. It was like I reverted to something more basic but it was a conscious reversion into an awareness of the breath. And when I was alive again, I felt my blood circulating through my body again. I was still cold, but I felt that somehow my physical life was starting again. And because the message was to breathe, and the realization that my actual being was made of pure divine energy, I thought, “Yeah, I have to breathe if I want to be alive.” All that night I spent breathing and just being fully focused on breathing, because I realized that if I wasn’t breathing, I would die. So I just kept saying to myself, “Just breathe. Let the energy flow through the breath, I’m gonna be fine. Just breathe.” I just kept observing my breathing, observing that something had changed, because before this, my breathing was very shallow and afterwards it was deep. It was like my breath was now connected with the universe. It wasn’t just me breathing. I was breathing in synchronicity with all that breathes. And at the same time, I felt connected with everything, because I realized that everything is breathing in this universe. And as we breathe, we are connected to all that exists. So the next day, the sixth day of the dry week, I was feeling better. And by the seventh day I was feeling much better. The hunger disappeared. I didn’t feel hungry or sick at all. And I thought, “ What is happening to my body?” I was surprised to feel that dramatic change in me. And somehow I didn’t have any more fear. There was no fear at all in me. To me, everything was good. I felt I just needed to continue with the Process, because everything was good. And with that confidence, that safety, and that assurance that I was a spiritual and eternal being and was, through this body, breathing that divine source of energy, I was safe. So I continued with the Process over the course of the next 14 days. The hunger disappeared and a there was a lot of healing in my body. It was very deep healing, like a completed recreation and regeneration of the body. I even lost weight but I later regained it. And I was feeling perfect. After that Process, I felt that my life was new, that all the past information, the past karma, the past illnesses that my body was holding, were not present within me anymore. I felt very free, very happy. And I continued in that state. Because I was an artist, I didn’t have the responsibility of going to an office to work or following a specific routine. I had all the free time to do what was most important for me. I decided to go to another town in Ecuador where nobody knew anything about what I had just experienced. I went to this other town with my wife, who did the Process with me. And the two of us were able to allow the Process to integrate completely within us. CHAPTER THREE
AFTER MY BREATHARIAN INITIATION
It’s surprising how extraordinarily energizing the power of the breath is. This knowledge has been shared by the masters of spiritual traditions in many parts of the world through the centuries, in different forms. The better-known ones are the various practices of Yoga, Tai Chi and Qi Gong. After this first experience, my wife and I would sit facing each other every evening with a candle between us, and practice breathing. While doing this very short practice of breathing, I would start to feel my hands tingling. It felt like a current of electricity was passing through my skin and spine. It was like pumping pulsations of energy which passed through to my crown. That was a very new sensation that I hadn’t explored before. I continued to experience no hunger. Instead, I felt a lot of energy in my body. People used to see me in the street and ask me what I just did, because I looked very young, fresh, and healthy. They told me my eyes were bright. This kind of feedback was new to me because before this Process people used to tell me that I looked older, which I didn’t like. But after this Process, people started telling me that I was glowing. I, too, saw myself as a new being, very fresh, very clean. While integrating this Process through the practice of breathing, I developed an awareness that there are other realms of energy that we can interact with. CHAPTER FOUR
INITIAL CONTACT WITH THE SOURCE
One day I was lying in bed after doing my breathing practice. I was relaxing my body with the intent of going to sleep, and I felt a sort of loving energy presence. Again I felt the electricity bubbling on my skin; I felt as if it was trying to communicate with me. When this happened I mentally said, “All of these new sensations are coming to me to make me feel good. I accept these new changes in my life. I am ready. Tell me what I need to know.” I opened myself to this realm. Once I did this, I immediately started having different dreams, spiritual dreams in which light beings came to me. The first dream was very profound. It was like a blueprint within me. In the first dream, light beings came to me to do what I call etheric surgery. While drifting off into my dream, I experienced very clearly an energetic healing. my whole being was vibrating and the temperature of my body dramatically changed to cold and then hot. There were small involuntary movement of muscles, bones and neck seemingly readjusting their structure. The whole experience was pleasant, and after it I felt a new kindness to myself and everything on the planet. The next morning when I woke up I was so happy, so blissful. My wife was beside me and she said “Wow! You look so happy this morning, like you’re glowing. What happened to you?” And I said, “You know, I had this dream that was so powerful.” And she started to ask me about the dream so I explained very clearly from the beginning of the dream how it was, the moment in which these beings came to me, what I felt in my body, and how I saw them changing my organs, and the different sensations that I felt. I also told her about the clarity I gained in my mind and emotions. As I explained this dream to her, she was able to feel the same healing, to feel the same process in her body. And she was also uplifted, just by hearing the story of the dream. And she told me, “You know? Maybe this is what some people call channeling. Maybe this is the way it’s starting to manifest in you.” For me, all of this was very weird. I had never been into this kind of thing. I was an artist who just wanted to share the gift of my art. Yet because I was accepting these new things, I said, “Okay, maybe that is what’s happening. I accept this possibility. If this is a channeling process that is happening through me, I accept it.” And by my accepting it, the dreams and information became sharper, more consistent, more refined; like ideas and inspiration to create a formula, a new method, that requires less time, less danger, and is body friendly so that anybody who wishes to get to know it can practice, and with comprehensive tools to take home and integrate into people’s everyday life. For the next months, I practiced conscious breathing as well gazing to the Sun at sunrise everyday, while meditating on my breathing; gradually my body learned to breathe and step-by-step to create it its own formula When I was focused on my breath with intensity, inhaling deeply in full lungs expansion, I noticed my body wanting to take in more air, oxygen, and energy. My breathing started to change from deep and slow breathing to a rapid and circular respiration pattern. I became used to feeling the strong vibration and current of electricity. At the same time that I was doing all this practice, decoding how Prana works in the body, the ideas and inspiration kept pouring into my mind. I learned the Pranic Nourishment Techniques and Pranic Fasting formula that you will learn in the next chapters of this book. These techniques are part of the now world- famous 8-Day Process. CHAPTER FIVE
I RECEIVED A UNMEASURABLE GIFT FOR
HUMANITY
With practice and dedication I developed very precise breathing techniques that contained the steps to teach the body to nourish on Prana. At the beginning I didn’t know how to share these breathing techniques. The idea of living on Prana was all new at the time. But the idea of sharing a process with groups of people was not totally unfamiliar, since I used to share the process of the sweat lodge. During this time, my wife was seeing all this transformation that was happening in both of us. She told me she wanted to be the first person to receive and learn these breathing sessions and techniques. I was so ready. “Yes! Let’s see what happens.” So it was that with Camila I first shared these breathing sessions. I asked her how she felt after each session. She shared with me how she was in a blissful state as a result of the breathing sessions we did together. I could see that her eyes were so bright and her skin was glowing. As a result of these first sessions with Camila, the techniques and teachings became a part of me. That is, I integrated the ability to share them with others. When I ran into people I knew, they would ask me what it was that I was doing and how it felt to be living on light. They started inviting me to give sessions, sometimes individually, sometimes in groups. This led me to become a teacher and guide of the science and technology of the Prana. That is how I came to travel the world, sharing the tools of living on light to those who are ready to receive it. CHAPTER SIX
WHY I DO THIS WORK—ACCEPTING MY LIFE
MISSION
I have been living the last eleven years by consciously nourishing my body with Prana, as what some call a breatharian. I also facilitate the Process of how to transition to being a breatharian, that is, a person, aware of the energy available in all elements of nature, who can intentionally increase its energy and nourish its body and spirit from Light or Prana. In this book, I want to share this Process with you. I call this Process the 8-Day Pranic Process and its goal is to give you the tools and experiential knowledge needed to nourish the body and the soul by tapping into the cosmic energy that we are always already immersed in every day of our lives. I offer these sessions to share with others the benefits I have gained by using Prana as a source of nourishment, healing, and opening to new possibilities. What I am sharing is the possibility of having an extra source of energy that can sustain and feed you indefinitely. You do not need to depend only on food. Most of us have learned that we get our energy from food sources. Now we can add one more source of energy into our lives. By adding this source, naturally, you will feel more balanced. Sometimes we get sick, we get emotionally unbalanced, or we get mentally unbalanced, all because we don’t take advantage of the spiritual nourishment available to every living thing on the planet. We are just so focused on the human experience that we sometimes forget the field of Prana that surrounds us. We all know what it’s like to feel lonely or to feel that something is missing from our lives. I am certain that the missing piece is this intentional connection with spiritual energy. And as we reconnect with this spiritual energy, it satisfies us at a deeper level. When we do so it always brings balance back to our human existence, because we know, at a deep level, that we are this energy. My mission and vision for sharing this work is for every human being to reconnect with this fundamental source of energy in a more intentional and conscious way. Those who do so can bring harmony, balance, and order into their lives and the lives of those around them. My vision is big. I want to actively help society reduce the amount of resources that we take from the earth. We are taking so much from the earth, because we mistakenly feel that there is a lack of energy, a finite amount of resources. Most of this activity is driven by the need to survive as humans on this planet. We search for and take energy from so many places because, it is true, humanity does needs energy. But if we access the human free energy, an energy that is infinite, there will not be a need to take too much from the earth, to use so much land, water, and labor just to provide food for the world. If we found the tools for perfect balance to sustain ourselves more through prana and gradually less through food and water, the planet will be more sustainable and healthy. Over consumption of foods and excessive waist, production of GMO foods among many other activities extremely damaging for the earth will stop their outreach. Living off light or prana is a solution for the food, the health and future survival issues facing the entire planet. The Pranic Nourishment Movement is growing fast, in 20 years, a remarkable number of beings on the planet will be living off the Pranic Energy. And as that happens, there will be a ripple effect, what some call the butterfly effect or a tipping point. As more people access the light body, others will be inspired, because they will see the joy, the health, the brightness in their neighbors. They will say “How are you doing that?” And this is when we will see a tipping point and a new consciousness arising across the globe. For me, to be a Pranic Breatharian means that all the energy I receive comes from the natural world, and from within myself. Energy is in everything. It is everything. Right now, right here in this moment, we are actually immersed in abundant and limitless energy. As you read this book, I can tell you that we are co-creating our realities with prana. I have learned that this is an interaction, an interchange of energy. And when we are conscious of this energy, when we can see it, when we can feel it, we are automatically taking advantage of it. What else is available in the air we breathe? Air holds all the thoughts of each and every being, it is like a infinitely mega cloud that stores information. For example, the thoughts of Jesus, of Buddha, of Tesla. Those thoughts are still available. Those thoughts are in the Air, that is, the energy field of the planet. And as we evolve to expand our senses to that information, we receive those thoughts, and we find the best way to apply them in this very moment. In our sessions, we transform that information into something very practical and easy to take home and apply indefinitely. This practice becomes permanent over time. It is like riding a bicycle: Once awakened, it never fades away. CHAPTER SEVEN
THE 8 DAYS OF PRANIC CONSCIOUSNESS
EVOLUTION
For every person, this Process brings a completely new awareness of the self in which we see ourselves as beings that are capable of achieving any goal, anything that we want. We can actually slow our aging process. We can regenerate the body and keep it in that state of cell regeneration. As these amazing techniques become natural to you, your body will continue in the flow of Prana, so you are always fully energized. Even though some people have decided to eat after the Process, they do so because they want to be free to choose what they want. Even though they go back to eating, their energy doesn’t go down. It stays high because the breathing is a dynamo. Honor it. Treasure it because there’s only one time in your life and the time for you is the 8 days. Only 8 days to dive within yourself. While diving within yourself you will encounter something that you have to purify. By diving within yourself, you will find your own way to clean that issue with the support of the breathing sessions, the support of the energy of the Process, and the whole group. We support each other in continuing to go deep within ourselves and recognizing what our priorities are. Sometimes we have a cloud of thoughts and sometimes we lose sight of what our priorities are. We work on releasing a lot of these layers of toxic energy such as toxic emotions. Sadness, fear, confusion, and anxiety are examples of toxic energy. Most of our emotions are physically located in our chest because when we are living the experience, for example, when we get scared or somebody dies or when we experience something that is strong in our life, we are breathing that emotion and we feel scared. We are breathing that fear of something bad happening. We are breathing in the moment. Our breathing changes. It’s because we are receiving the information of that experience through our breathing. All the emotions that we experience become part of our breathing and if we don’t learn the techniques to release that toxic energy that life brings, it can build up. Sometimes we feel heaviness in the back, like we are holding some kind of heavy energy. Sometimes it can close the chest so our breathing changes because the space for air is occupied with emotions. With these breathing sessions that are precisely designed to detoxify the energy field and the energy body, we detoxify those emotions. When we let go of those emotions, we feel lighter. We feel happier. We feel connected with ourselves. We find the door of love within ourselves. The possibility to love ourselves starts to come to us. It’s possible for you to love yourself. To love yourself you have to let go of those layers that are covering your own beauty and your true nature. Layers of thoughts sometimes cover our mind and do not allow us to see ourselves with respect or value. We’re going to let go of all of that. We let go of all those layers that are blinding us and don’t let us see our true potential. It is also for the evolution of our consciousness. It’s about living life utilizing the most advanced technology in the world. This is the future of humanity. We are bringing the future to these times. By doing so, we are shrinking the time it takes for humanity to evolve. The information I give you in the 8-Day process is beyond books and beyond reading. All that I tell you, I have learned and experienced on my own and through traveling around the world, sharing the Process. For example, we have awakened to be able to see how our mind processes thoughts. We learn to be observers of our thoughts. Sometimes when you are aware of your mind, you will find out why your life is not going the way you want. Maybe you will have found a thought pattern that is attracting things to your life that you do not want. Sometimes we are not conscious of the thought pattern, or we are conscious but we don’t know how to stop it. This Process helps you to let go of all those layers and patterns. When we do this, we can see the thought pattern and face it. We can confront the thought pattern. Just by facing it, we start healing, because any healing starts from awareness. When you have an illness, the only way to heal it is by being aware of it. The same thing happens with our mind. We become more conscious of ourselves. We become conscious of how we interact with the light and the kind of information we project into the world. When we do this we are evolving our consciousness. The same is true with our emotions. When we engage in this Process we become aware of our emotions. What kinds of emotions are we holding? What kinds of feelings are we holding within us that are attracting certain experiences to our life? By releasing layers that are blinding us to other potentials, we can start the healing. We’re going to break through this, and let the Prana float with those emotions and naturally relax and let the layers fade away. You’ll become conscious of what kinds of emotions you carry within you. By becoming conscious of your emotions, you gain the freedom to choose what emotions you really want to have in your heart. That is the evolution of consciousness. You have become conscious of the way you process your emotions and what emotions you project into the world to attract people and experiences to your life. The same is true in regard to spirituality. Many people think spirituality is based in illusion. In reality, experiencing the evolution of consciousness in a spiritual way means letting go of those layers that do not let us see our own light, happiness, or consciousness. By letting go of those layers we can see ourselves as energy bodies and as energy beings. We recognize our soul as an energetic aspect of ourselves and we become aware that we are energy beings. That is the evolution of consciousness in a spiritual sense. When you see yourself as a spiritual being you can also see every being in the world as a spiritual being. As a result, you become more compassionate. You become more connected with everyone else. You become someone who wants to help and give to the world. You have awakened your consciousness to see that each being has the same potential that you have and to learn to accept everybody the way they are and to honor each person the way they are and to honor the planet the way it is. We learn to see spirit in everything. The spirit of all things we can see because we have recognized our own spiritual aspect as energy bodies. That is the evolution of consciousness. We become conscious of our true potential. The same is true of the physical body. By being conscious of the body we learn what kind of information and memory our body holds. We learn to love our body, to take care of our body in a more refined way. We can learn to appreciate this vessel, this vehicle of energy that is our body. We can learn to see our body not only as a human body, but as a tool, as the vehicle of our spiritual knowledge. We can learn to see our physical body as an opportunity for us to discover the diversity of life. Opportunity abounds for us to experience joy in the diversity of life and to grow in that joy. How is it possible that a human system can go eight days without eating and have more energy than it did before? It goes against all predicted medical findings. It breaks all the rules. That’s the beauty of the Process. It is not about starvation like the 21-Day Process or others that focus on fasting. There is no fasting in the 8-Day Pranic Breathing Process. Those three days in which we don’t drink is not a fast. It is an opportunity for us to be fully immersed in Prana. In those three days we can feel how Prana is able to nourish us through conscious breathing. The breathing that we do energizes us. People realize, “Okay, I’m not eating, I’m not drinking, but the breathing is actually energizing me and I can finish my day without drinking, just by breathing.” That’s a new awakening and a change of the whole mindset. That’s the empowerment. That’s the transformation that this Process brings in three days. This Process recharges your internal battery. Imagine that you have a battery. Your battery is getting a little bit low because it’s been working hard for years. The breathing sessions bring so much Prana into the energy body that it recharges the battery to its full capacity again. A fully charged battery means a long life. Your life becomes longer because you have more life force in your body. After the Process, when you take the breathing techniques into your life, you are constantly re-energizing yourself and recharging your battery. As you open your mind to understand the Process, you realize it’s a lot more than what it seems to be. It goes far beyond the aspect of not eating. It goes beyond Breatharianism. The 8-Day Process uses Breatharian techniques to take you to the Pranic state. The Pranic state is the state in which you have merged with Prana in all aspects of your existence. You are not focused on eating or not eating, because of a sense of been nourished by Prana all the time. That’s irrelevant. You have passed that phase to the state of oneness with Prana. One thing I now share in the Process that wasn’t part of it years ago is what I call the Pranic Frequencies. I have learned how to feel Prana in my hands. In a process similar to Reiki, the air becomes tangible to our hands and we can feel the energy of the air in our hands. We can use it to heal our own bodies and others’. This is another form of nourishment. It is an amazing addition to the Process because we can learn to control Prana this way. We learn how to use Prana, how to share it, how to project it and heal with it. This is a tool that will always tell us that we are connected with Prana. It’s beautiful to be with like-minded people who are seeking similar objectives and going in the same direction. Sometimes by talking about it and sharing how our journey is going through the eight days, we support and empower each other to continue. Most of people’s emotions and thoughts are based in the foods we eat and are connected with food activity. When we stop the activity of eating for a few days, a lot of emotions and thoughts connected with eating calm down and are released through the breathing that we do at the same time. There is also something very interesting that happens to the physical body in those three days. In the Process you are releasing a lot of toxic energy from the body, mind, emotions. That toxic energy has some weight, so you will lose some weight. You will not only lose physical weight. There is the weight of your emotions, held in your cells, that is being released. The standard overall amount of weight that you may lose is between three and ten kilos, depending on each person’s body and muscle mass and fats. After the 8-Day Process you will gain it again but what you gain is healthy weight. Healthy emotions. Healthy thoughts. The interesting transformation of the body to become a body that lives on light happens on days three, four and five of the 8-Day Process; it’s because while we are eating and drinking very little food or none, and are just allowing our body to feel Prana, our body intelligence is awakened. The body feels that there is no carb energy and it starts to use its own energy because the body has stored some energy in its cells. In these three days the body starts using that energy that has been stored away. There is a moment in which the body starts feeling that the energy that is in storage starts to get depleted. Before you run out of energy, the intelligence of the body starts looking for other sources. The body starts looking for where it can take energy. It’s the survival mode of the body. The body wants to be alive and it starts looking for sources of energy. That is when, through breathing and the practices of the 8-Day Process, the body connects with Prana. The body takes advantage of nature’s energy, Prana, and it starts living on Prana. That’s how the body transforms to live on light. The other interesting thing that happens in those three days is that the body cleans its fluids. For example, you know that you have a lot of liquid in your body. You are sixty to eighty percent water. A lot of the liquid in the body contains information. Researcher Masaru Emoto completed fascinating studies on water. Emoto photographed water crystals and showed how the mind and intention and energy all influence the water. Imagine your body, full of water, and all these years you have been influencing your own water through your thoughts, your emotions, and what you radiate to yourself. If you have been feeling unhappy with yourself, or sick, or uncomfortable, that information is in your liquids. In many cases this is a reason people cannot heal. Cells are constantly healing and rebirthing and multiplying. There is no space for the cell to heal because after the cell separates, or after the cell recreates itself, the environment around the cell is toxic because the cell will be swimming in this liquid that contains toxic information. The cell cannot heal because it doesn’t have the environment to support healing. In these three days that we are in absolute Prana, the body intelligence that is not drinking starts looking for internal liquid that it can use. The body starts taking energy from all over the body, it starts using its own internal liquids. The body takes from those liquids only what is good for it. Given that the body holds liquids that contain toxins, the body creates a filter. It’s like the most advanced filter ever. The body creates this filter to process these toxic liquids. The body processes them, and just takes the good things like the little amount of water that is healthy, that can be filtered. The body takes it and uses it to continue being alive. All the toxins that are being filtered are evacuated through the urinary system. You will pee those toxic liquids. Maybe you will notice that it has a stronger smell, a stronger color because it’s actually the super-concentrated toxins of your body being released. After this, the body is empty of most of those toxic liquids. The body holds the good liquid it can use and the rest is eliminated. Then the body has space to receive new liquids. It’s like a sponge that you squeeze to release all the dirt and then you bring clean water and the sponge again opens. When we start drinking again, the body takes the new, clean liquid and absorbs it through every cell and that is why people feel rejuvenated. That is why amazing healing manifests, because the body now has fresh, healthy fluids and all the cells are swimming in clean fluids that create an environment for the cells to regenerate. Among the many amazing things that happen in this Process, this is one of the most interesting. This has many ripple effects because body liquids contain emotions and thoughts. I tell you this so you become aware of how you put information into your body. For example, imagine people who have stressful work. They go to the office every day. They have a lot of work waiting for them at the office. They have all the stress of a busy life. They eat their lunch under stress, in a hurry to get back to work, thinking unhappy thoughts. When you’re thinking, you’re processing information. The stress is part of your energy field when you are chewing and that stress becomes part of the fluids in your body. When you release these liquids, you release a lot of negative emotions and thoughts. The 8-Day Process will benefit you in the following ways: • It will help you get rid of memories that haunt your existence and hinder the proper functioning of your everyday life. It will teach you the art of letting go of anything that hurts you and equally let go of anything not deserving of your attention anymore. We may refuse to confront the actual situation, but at a cellular level such incidents do bother us and cause us discomfort. This program will help you heal any such emotion in your life. • You will be able to see yourself as an important piece of work and begin to appreciate your existence. You will learn to embrace yourself and gain a deeper understanding of your being. You will learn to see the best of yourself and enjoy all that you are and have. You will bypass feelings of comparison and obtain spiritual satisfaction that will evolve you into a better human being and best version of yourself. • You will activate your body’s ability to self-heal and put into practice its incredible power to enhance the neurological system. You will soothe your body’s systems from the core, creating an informational network that communicates freely love and joy, inspiring lasting physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. • You will understand the true meaning of love and joy and will embrace them openly. These sensations will have a newfound appreciation for your body, mind, emotions, and soul and your entire being will reflect the positive energy with an aura that establishes you as a clearer human being who is well aware of the happenings of their life. • The possibility of living on light and focusing on wholesome improvement and nourishment through the consistent practice of breathing exercises, especially the Pranic Breathing process. The benefits of the program are documented by users from across the world who have found peace and happiness in the teachings and practices of the program. It has transformed them immensely in identifiable ways, and they have been able to take more defined and refined choices in life that have ultimately enabled them to improve their understanding of the self and acceptance of a greater level of consciousness within. HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK?
During the eight days, through the conjunction of the Breathing Sessions, Pranic Frequencies, Light diet, and the energetic template, one connects with a higher, cleaner, more precise form of ever-nourishing energy, leading you to the Pranic Breatharian state. The practices inspire Super Sensorial Activation and the channeling of Light information. The 8-Day Process syncs your mind, body, emotions, and soul into authentic Mastery by keeping the body light, balanced, and focused. Here is an overview of the 8-Day Process:
1st to 8th day: 2 breathing sessions each day, in the morning and in the afternoon.
1st day, Aligning the Body: You eat your favorite fruits and drink fresh juices of the same fruits in the quantity that you choose. 2nd day: Aligning the Mind: Start the day by drinking very smooth fresh fruit juices; by afternoon you are drinking only water in the quantity you choose. Days 3, 4 and 5: These are the days of transformation of the body. Depending on factors like your body weight, your health condition as well the strength and age, you will go on a dry fast, no food and no water, as far as you feel safe and comfortable and for not more than 72 hours. Day 6: On this day, you will begin to slowly drink liquids, beginning with water in the morning and fresh fruit juice in the afternoon/evening.
7th day, Be Mind: Expanding your perception and senses, drink juices made from your favorite fruits, with the colors and flavors that your body resonates with at that moment, teaching your body to create a new and healthy relationship with food and to ingest from the space of non-necessity, playfulness, enjoyment, and pleasure.
8th day: Observing the benefits of your Process, contemplating the expansion of your consciousness and understanding and living it physically from your cellular structure. On this day you are free to drink or eat. You will drink fresh fruit juices made from your favorite fruits..If you want to feel the flavor of the food, eat fresh, natural fruits and veggies or any kind. SUPERCONSCIOUS BREATHING SESSIONS OF THE 8-DAY PROCESS In the almost ten years of nourishing my body on Pranic Energy alone, I have developed a series of very precise breathing techniques that help in the reprogramming of the body to absorb light energy. In the this book I share the practical essence and the instructions to using the Pranic Breathing Techniques while undergoing the 8-Day Process, in a new fits- all version or format that makes it very easy and effortless for the body to nourish on light energy, and receive their amazing and proven benefits. MORNING SESSION 1: AKAHI* SELF-REPROGRAMMING BREATHARIAN TECHNIQUE This breathing consists of a total of 40 deep and conscious breaths that are divided into four segments of 10 breaths. Before starting this practice, sit or lie in a comfortable place and body position. Segment 1: Reprogramming the Mind: in this first segment of 10 breaths, we focus on releasing toxic energy from the mind. Instructions: 1. When ready you will start taking 10 deep conscious breaths, and apply the visualization technique. - Breathing in through the nose and breathing out through the mouth, focusing on the air reaching all parts of your body and the expansion of your chest and lungs. - While finishing the 10th breath you will notice your mind getting quieter; now apply the Relaxation. 2. Visualization: With your eyes open or closed, imagine or pretend that your mind or your brain is breathing; as you inhale you feel the air and its power entering and energizing your mind, and as you exhale every breath continue clearing out the overload of thoughts and toxic energy that is no longer needed, creating new space for healthy and positive information in your mind. 3. Relaxation:
- After finishing the 10th breath, you will let your mind rest for 30 seconds to 2 minutes. - While in the relaxation, breathe in and out naturally through the nose. - When you feel ready to finish your relaxation, then continue with segment 2. Segment 2: Reprogramming the Body: in this second segment of 10 breaths, we focus on releasing toxic and unhealthy energy from the physical body. Instructions: 1. When ready you will continue taking 10 deep conscious breaths, and apply the visualization technique. - Breathing in through the nose and breathing out through the mouth, focusing on the air reaching all parts of your body and the expansion of your chest and lungs. - While finishing the 10th breath you will notice your body getting extremely relaxed. [This is when the body releases the overload of stress hormones from the autonomous nervous system and heals by itself.] 2. Visualization: With your eyes open or closed, imagine that as you inhale the air is entering your chest and lungs; imagine the air, oxygen, energizing and being stored in all the cells, tissues, and organs of your body; as you inhale you feel the air and its power entering and energizing every cell of your body, and as you exhale every breath continues clearing out the overload of toxic or sick energy that is no longer needed, and creating new space for healthy and positive information in your physical body. 3. Relaxation:
- After finishing the 10th breath, you will let your physical body rest for 30 seconds to 2 minutes. - While in the relaxation, breathe in and out naturally through the nose at your own pace. - When you feel ready to finish your relaxation, continue with segment 3. Segment 3: Reprogramming the Emotional Body: Another segment of 10 breaths, in which we focus on releasing toxic and unhealthy energy from the emotional body. Instructions: 1.

[This is when the energetic or spiritual body releases the overload of toxic energy including Karmic contracts from past lives or parallel lives.] 2. Visualization: With your eyes open or closed, imagine yourself as a body of energy... or a human shaped battery ... and as you inhale imagine your energy levels increasing, and your light brighter, stronger ... imagine yourself breathing an ever-increasing energy that is, and will be, permanently boosting your battery. As you exhale every breath continue clearing out the overload of toxic energy that is no longer needed. 3. Relaxation:
- After finishing the 10th breath, you will let your energetic body rest for 1 to 5 minutes. - While in the relaxation, breathe in and out naturally through the nose at your own pace. - When you feel ready to finish your relaxation, prepare to finish and incorporate into your natural state. AFTERNOON SESSION 2: INFINITE ENERGY BREATHING— PRACTICE EVERY DAY This breathing consists of a total of 50 deep and conscious breaths that are divided into two segments of 10 breaths and 40 breaths; each segment will connect to the next and the rhythm of your breathing will be gradually and steadily faster. Infinite Pranic Breathing is a very powerful session to energize the body with Prana. Please go as slowly as you feel to advance; the gradual acceleration and rapid breathing can take a few seconds to catch up. When done, you can control the intensity of the energy and guide it effortlessly through your body to feel the amazing enlightening energy circulating in the entire being. Please follow the precise instructions. Only do this breathing practice if you feel strong and followed all training of the previous days. This exercise can be dangerous, so prepare well. Drink something light before you start. Don’t force anything. If you feeling dizzy, stop directly and try again when you feel ready. Segment 1: Expansion of our Breathing Range: Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. Before starting this practice, sit or lie in a comfortable place and position and remain so for as long as you practice this breathing technique. In this first segment of 10 breaths, we focus on taking deeper and fuller inhalations and exhalations, bringing in the maximum amount of oxygen and energy possible for your body, and integrating and understanding a new and balanced breathing pattern. Instructions: 1. When ready you will start taking 10 deep conscious breaths, and apply the visualization technique. - Breathe deeply in through the nose and out through the mouth, focusing on the air reaching all parts of your body and the full expansion of your chest and lungs. 2. Visualization: With your eyes open or closed, imagine or draw in your mind the symbol of the infinite “8“or the number eight, continue breathing and now visualize that one circle of the infinite symbol is the inhalation and the other circle is the exhalation, allow for your breathing rhythm to naturally find its own natural pattern.
- While finishing your 10th breath, prepare to continue with segment 2.
Segment 2: 40 Rapid and Connected Breathings in and out through the mouth. [Repeat this segment two times.] Instructions: - Relax and open your mouth and throat, and breathe in and out through the mouth 40 times, every breath deeper and faster. Do it at your own pace and rhythm and focus in to accelerate and consciously increase the flow and amount of energy through the body. - Breathing in and breathing out through the mouth, focus on the air reaching all parts of your body and the expansion of your chest and lungs. 2. Visualization: With your eyes open or closed, imagine that as you inhale, the air is entering your chest and lungs, imagine the air, oxygen, energizing and being stored in all the cells, tissues, and organs of your body, as you inhale you feel the air and its power entering and energizing every cell of yours.
- While finishing the 40th breathe you will have a feeling of your body incredibly expanded, connected with the universe with sensations of energy circulating through your body, including the sensation of tingling, vibration in the hands or other parts of the body. [This is when the body has awakened to Prana and is using it for its betterment.] Then continue with the relaxation. 3. Relaxation: The Breathlessness - Take one last deep breath hold the air for 3 seconds; exhale all the air slowly and then stop breathing, and experience the state of complete breathlessness and feel the energy circulating through your body, be with it, learn from it, rest into it, for as long as you feel and want, between 30 seconds and 4 minutes. - When you feel ready to breathe again then you will take a deep inhalation, enjoy the air in your lungs and exhale, then continue breathing naturally at you own pace. - When you feel ready, prepare to finish and re-incorporate to your natural state. Repeat this segment one more time. Some of the possible symptoms of the energy flow are: • Amazing and strong flow of energy. • Happiness, excitement • Awakening, glimpse of enlightenment • Connection with the Universe • Energy vibration in the body • Visions • Light and colors in the third eye area (forehead). • Light head for few seconds • Better and effortless breathing Deep Peace of mind, body, emotions, and soul. At the beginning, the amazing power of the boosted energy in the body feels incredible. There is connection and inner peace beyond anything experienced before. Let your understanding dive into the energy sensation at its own time, naturally, and your body will get comfortable vibrating in high frequencies and will be completely energized. ENERGY PERCEPTION TECHNIQUE—INITIATION INTO THE PRANIC FREQUENCIES
In this energy channeling session we will activate the chakras and senses in the palms of both hands to perceive what I called the Pranic Frequencies. I will precisely guide you to a state of subtle energy awareness in which you will be able to feel the Pranic Field of Energy. This activation will make the non- physical energy tangible. When the energy becomes tangible, doubts and ideas of failure no longer exist. The electric current that circulates through our palms into our physical body is so powerful that we immediately feel it – as a gentle vibration, or a slight change in the body temperature and the relaxation of old contractions in your energy systems. 1. Activation: This activation will take only a few minutes and will be done forever. When you are ready, stand up, take 3 deep breaths, then elevate the palms of your fully open hands to the level of your shoulders facing forward, like holding a ball of energy, concentrate your focus on your hands, like searching for a feeling. 2. Verify: Begin to make slow-motion circles with your right palm, like cleaning a window in circular movements, and while doing this keep your focus on your left hand fingers and palm and perceive any different sensation caused by the circular movement of your right hand; continue for one or two minutes, and then switch hands, and begin to do slow-motion circles with the left hand and feel what happens in your right hand. The sensation that we are looking for is very subtle, a lighter energy feeling in the hands, heat, cold, tingling, vibration, magnetism. Stay with the feeling, stay with the intelligent light energy and receive it into your being. 3. Receive: Relax, expand your senses and perception and rest in the energy for as long as you want. Then prepare to finish and re-incorporate. Very often while making the circles with the palms, we can feel also how the circular movement of the energy is mirrored in the other hand, as if the energy that you are manipulating with one hand is being identified by the other hand; then you will relax and let the energy flow through your hands into your body. The Pranic Breathing Sessions and The Energy Pranic Frequencies in your hands will energize you through the 8 days of the Process. CHAPTER EIGHT
UNDERSTANDING THE TERMS PHYSICAL
HEALING, SELF-LOVE, HAPPINESS AND CONSCIOUSNESS EVOLUTION
PHYSICAL HEALING Physical healing is the healing of every part of the body. It is the absorption of nutrients in the depths of the cellular structure of the body. It is where one is aware of the true state of well-being and where the face can reflect perfect health and happiness. Physical healing comes with a lot of thought to the nutrition we subject ourselves to. The need for nutrition from heavy foods has been generated by our surroundings and nowhere does it reflect in our practices of awakening deeper consciousness. Physical healing is also the prevention of surroundings that hamper our physical and mental state of being and the ones where the mind and body have the difference in alignment. Physical healing is the attainment of divinity in the body and the process of treating the body right in all ways possible. Physical healing is being aware of your existence and appreciating your body that houses your mind. For effective physical healing, one is supposed to bring together the mind, body, and soul in perfect alignment such that all three are benefitted mutually from each other. Physical healing is also a lot more about the development of consciousness and understanding the energy of the universe and embracing it in its most refined forms, thus allowing oneself to experience what is beyond the understanding of the human mind. It is more about maintaining mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being and achieving the highest state of consciousness. Prayers, meditation, and embracing silence will only help you in achieving physical healing faster. At the cellular level, the transformation will be tremendous and will leave you rejuvenated. The impact is so great that the entire DNA structure also undergoes healing and repair and makes you a better version of yourself. Physical healing is often unachievable in cases where a person is too negligent about himself or is surrounded by negativity and not appreciated. Physical healing also cannot happen when a person is not mentally strong enough to guide himself on the right path and decide what works best for him. It is more about making the right choices for your betterment. If you refuse to see the good in yourself, no one else will. Only when you are physically sound, can you think of embracing the higher order that controls the mind and directs the soul. To put it in simple words, physical healing is nothing but attaining atonement in the mortal state of our existence. It is looking beyond our general life to delve into a new universe of self-learning, self-love, and self-appreciation. Achieving atonement can be the major reason why people strive to attain physical healing in its purest forms. SELF-LOVE
Self-love is the greatest kind of love. It is the first and foremost understanding of self. It is where we truly become ourselves and give back the same respect to our mind, body, and soul that they have given us since the very beginning of our existence. All solutions to well-being begin from treating oneself right. One should be thankful for whatever one has and must not be apprehensive of what more could be. One must appreciate the wholesome experience a human is in totality and must not indulge in what could be better. You have to be your own benchmark. You have to understand what ignites you mind, body, and soul. You have to find your true calling. This is where true love begins. True love is self- actualization and realizing why you are important to yourself and your surroundings. There is nothing in the world that will appreciate your existence as much as you yourself do. For no one can understand your emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and mental understanding as much as you do for yourself. You have to clear your brain of any thoughts that hamper your personal growth, let go of people who do not believe in you and your actions, surround yourself with friends and family who are truly interested in your well-being and are not just superficially connected to you. Try to collaborate with your thoughts and find deeper meaning in life, far beyond the one you are leading right now. You are so much more than you can imagine. You are the hidden pool of consciousness. You were made to be a larger human who is enlightened and has achieved true meaning in life. Understand that each person has a different reason and purpose of existence. No two are the same and all our stories are different. It is only when we truly learn to appreciate our differences and our uniqueness amidst others, that we can reach complete attainment of self-love and self-appreciation. HAPPINESS
Happiness is a highly subjective term. The parameters of happiness may be
different for different people. It is quite understandable since no two people can have the same priorities, choices, and opinions, so will their happiness differ. You as a person have to find your own source of happiness. No one can buy it for you. You have to look around and see what makes you happy and leads you to overall contentment with the surroundings. Find what makes your heart really delighted. What is it that you will never compromise for anything in life? There must be something. We all have that one thing that makes us go content and delighted and takes us to a place where everything appears achievable and where there are no fears of losing out on anything. Our happiness is a result of positivity mixed with appreciation of whatever has been bestowed on us. Happiness can come from the very basic sight of a puppy stealthily sleeping under the blanket of the mud trying to safeguard itself from the cold, happiness can be sitting in silence for a few minutes all by yourself without any worries and tensions and it can also be the process of generating appreciation for others’ improvement and being a part of their happiness. Happiness is of core importance and it cannot be neglected in any case. Happiness comes only when you are truly appreciative of your existence in whatever form it has been bestowed on you. It is detaching oneself from the unnecessary and forming close bonds with minimalism. You do not require fancy stuff to drive you to happiness. Happiness comes in small things around us. Those who look for happiness in materialistic things are sooner or later likely to lose track of their real purpose in life and are quite likely to remain trapped in their incessant search for true happiness. True happiness is your door to achieving divine consciousness. It all begins from here and it will all end with you attaining peace, calm, and the true state of happiness. You will be able to see astonishing changes in the way you perceive things and soon you will be able to differentiate the good from the bad and keep only those things that help you develop as a person. Do not delay your happiness. Find it now and under no circumstances let it go from your reach. Your happiness will guide you home and will ignite your soul. CONSCIOUSNESS EVOLUTION
Consciousness evolution is the last stage of real enlightenment. Enlightenment
refers to finding the true purpose of existence and resonation with the energies of the universe. True consciousness is letting go of any unwanted emotion, doing your best to sync all your energy to develop positivity and aligning your desires with finding your true self. Consciousness evolution is a subtle process that requires slow and steady practice to reflect a changed self. A self that is more aware, conscious and appreciative! With consciousness, evolution comes, the deep understanding of the life around us, and we learn to distinguish different elements in the surroundings and their significance to us. It is the state where we do not see the undesirable in anything, but realize that maybe that thing is not meant for us. One tends to develop a whole new perspective on life and does not give in to judgments or opinions. It is the highest form of calling where we are driven towards the higher purpose in life and not just the one to merely exist and waste our lives. We are so much more than mechanical systems running on fuel and water doing daily activities in the most mundane way possible. Consciousness development calls for dedication, willingness to be out there and realizing that it will take way more than just a few exercises, diets, and meditation to get there. These will definitely bring you closer to them, but it is your own choice and dedication to attain the heights of consciousness development in your system. Nothing will come to you easy. It is time-intensive and requires utmost patience. But you know what? When you come closer to achieving your goal, you will be filled with sudden understanding of yourself and nothing will entice you more than your newfound purpose and your newfound confidence. Self-consciousness in no way relates to being selfish and becoming unaware of others in your surroundings. It is merely paying more attention to your awakening for the purpose of finding you true self. It is way to observe oneself in the closest forms possible thus generating understanding of oneself like no other. You are your own savior and your own guiding light. Do not be afraid to find out what lies beyond the ordinary. You will be amazed at how exciting finding the self can be. CHAPTER NINE
MAJOR ELEMENTS OF THE BREATHARIAN
METHOD
BENEFITS OF BREATHING
• Helps in detoxification Breathing exercises that function on controlled forms of inhalation and exhalation help in removing the various toxins in the body and assist in detoxifying the body as a whole. The human body is highly dependent on breathing as a toxin release mechanism, and as much as seventy percent of it happens through the breathing process. These toxins must necessarily be removed from the body from time to time or else they could be the cause of illness and ailments in the various body organs. The chief toxin removed from the body through the breathing is carbon dioxide which, if it remains in the bloodstream, can cause serious troubles. CO2, as it is commonly called, is the most common toxin that finds its way out of the body through the process of exhalation. • Eases the mind Breathing is a natural stress buster and relieves the mind of unnecessary tension and helps in regaining composure and mental balance. • Improves the thought process Breathing immensely helps in attaining the state of clarity and focuses our mind on the important things rather than wasting our energy on the unnecessary. Constant and rhythmical breathing brings in loads of oxygen to the body. We are all aware that oxygen is our major source of existence and a plentiful supply of it will serve the better purpose to the mind, body, and soul. The process of oxygenation that happens through inhalation brings life to the different body cells and rejuvenates them to function with their best possible ability. • Keeps you young Breathing exercises are your ticket to being forever young. Since inhalation brings in oxygen to the body and the cells are replenished, the aging process slows down significantly, and the production of antioxidants is reduced considerably. These antioxidants are primarily responsible for the degeneration of the body cells and cause aging. Once this is put under control, you no longer worry about the effects of aging. Moreover, increased breathing regulates the blood circulation in the body owing to which the skin is always youthful and radiant. Imagine the savings you gain by not opting for expensive beauty products that do more harm than good. Breathing exercises bring beauty to your doorstep in the most natural and efficient way without the use of any chemicals or artificial substances, thus helping to maintain beauty in its natural form. • Helps in controlling emotions Breathing brings you closer to your understanding of self and makes you aware of the senses working in your body. With regular breathing, you are better able to differentiate between the right and wrong emotion, and this is where you become careful enough to let go of unwanted and disturbing emotions. You learn to be in control of your emotions and act out only when necessary. You eventually learn not to let small things affect you, and you develop better judgment of situations. • The functionality of your organs increases As discussed previously, the process of inhalation brings in oxygen to the body, which acts as fuel for the cells to ensure proper functioning. • Helps in muscle building The increased supply of oxygen to the brain through the process of oxygenation accentuates the muscle-building activity in the body. • Blood quality improves Inhalation makes the blood rich in oxygen thus making it healthy and allowing better functioning of the organs in the body. • Improves the digestion system Breathing exercises improve the digestion system as a whole and allow better absorption of nutrients in the body. You become aware of the kind of food you eat and are more conscious of taking in enough quality nutrients that help your body replenish and flourish. • Helps in cell repair Supplying the body with high-quality oxygen helps in cell repair, which again reflects good health of the body and slows down aging. • Keeps depression at bay Breathing practices are also utilized to make a person conscious of thought processes and help keep bad thoughts away. • Improves mood and concentration Breathing exercises are largely capable of controlling fluctuating mood swings and helping people to keep peace with oneself and the surroundings. The nervous system gets in sync because of consistent breathing patterns, thus allowing better consciousness and improved concentration levels. JUICE FASTING
Juices are the best way to absorb concentrated nutrients into the body quickly. There is no other way you can take up so many nutrients so quickly. A juicing diet is combined with juice fasts where the aim is to clear the body of toxins and replenish it with essential nutrients to ensure the best health. Mentioned below are some benefits of a juicing diet that help in maintaining nutrient balance in the body. • Helps in removing dead cells from the body • Helps in bringing in nutrient balance • Helps in removal of trans fatty acids, chemicals, and diseased cells from the body • Helps in removal of damaging drugs and pesticides from the body that enter the bloodstream through atmosphere and food • Helps in controlling calorie intake • Assists in controlling the levels of cholesterol in the body, thus preventing significant heart disease • Clears the spleen, lungs, and kidneys and ensures their proper functioning • Gives the digestive system a much-needed rest from the constant work of digesting food • Improves self-awareness and the sense of differentiating between the right and wrong kinds of foods and also encourages the body to adopt the proper kinds • Increased physical and emotional sensitivity A low-calorie diet like the juice diet is aimed at compelling you to go beyond your comfort zones and challenge your mental, emotional, and physical strength. You hence tend to become increasingly aware of your mental, emotional, and physical capabilities and act accordingly. • Improved energy levels With carefully managed juice diets one can observe increased strength and activity levels in the body. You tend to become confident about your body, and hence energy levels reflect the noticeable change in your everyday life. • Reduces water retention Juices bring a lot of water with them, hence they reduce the problem of water retention in the body. A constant supply of fluid in the body ensures timely excretion of water from the body through urine and sweat and hence problems of water retention and subsequent swelling of organs are not noticed. • Heals chronic diseases Fruit juices have nutrients that are capable of keeping away diseases and also curing some of the chronic diseases which are otherwise undetectable. The nutrients in the fruit juices flush out the bacteria and viruses causing the illness and help in curing the disease in its early stages, sometimes in combination with specific medication. • Helps in naturally reducing weight Juice diets are very low-calorie diets, and when practiced at regular intervals with a combination of light exercises, breathing exercises, and yoga, they result in substantial weight loss. • Helps in revitalizing organs Juice diets are the best way to revitalize the organs and maintain their ideal functionality. • Helps in reducing inflammation of various organs Juices of fruits have anti-inflammatory properties that cure and keep away the occurrence of inflammation in the body. Hence, they should be taken up on a regular basis. BENEFITS OF WATER FASTING
• It controls the fluid balance in the body. Our body is about 70 percent water, hence it is necessary to make sure we give it back its major component. Along with maintaining proper fluidity in the body, it also helps to transport essential nutrients to different organs, enabling them to function properly. Water is the only source that can ensure that all essential nutrients are transported to the whole body. • Calorie control Intake of enough water satiates your thirst as well as keeps you from eating extra food that brings to unneeded calories. Calorie control comes automatically with large intake of water. You also begin to appreciate the good quality foods and keep yourself off junk. • Replenishes the minerals in the body Water is a natural source of essential minerals and hence good intake of it maintains the levels of the nutrients coming in from a variety of minerals. • Aids digestion Water is very essential to supporting the digestion process in the body and also for absorption of nutrients in our systems. • Keeps depression away Like breathing exercises, proper intake of water is crucial to keep anxiety and depression at bay. It maintains adequate supply of blood in all parts of the body, thus keeping off any possibility of abnormalities in the body. • Flushes out the toxins Water is the best medium through which toxins are flushed from the system through sweat and urine. Flushing out the toxins also makes the skin clearer and the complexion uniform, thus adding grace to your natural beauty. Just make sure to add about eight glasses of water to your daily diet. • Increases your productivity Proper intake of water will ensure overall increase in your productivity and will help you to concentrate better on your tasks. • Increases focus Water intake also increases focus on everyday activities and makes a person feel good about himself. When your mind, body and soul are in sync is when you can truly consider yourself to be in a perfect state of mind. Hence, it is vital to understand the importance of adequate water intake in the body and also how it improves our day-to-day activities at a physical and mental level. BENEFITS OF DRY FASTING Along with obvious health benefits, dry fasting is primarily associated with gaining spiritual and mental strength. Here is how dry fasting helps you evolve as a better, more self-controlled person. • Dry fasting is the ultimate test of your mental strength, endurance, and self- control. • Dry fasting helps you to focus on your goals apart from the normal goals of eating, sleeping, and merely existing. • Dry fasting challenges you to give up your comfort zone and look for something greater beyond those boundaries. • Dry fasting aims at making you realize the true energy hidden in yourself and utilizing it to make your existence meaningful. • It is also responsible for taking you far ahead of the focus on necessities and helps you focus only on the important aspects of life. • Dry fasting teaches you to appreciate even the smallest things in life since here, even less is more, as a person is constantly moving toward self- actualization and awakening of the mind, body, and soul. • It instills the spirit of determination and allows you to push yourself beyond your boundaries. • It reinstates your faith in yourself and your surroundings and is the true test of your spiritually conscious awakening. Thus, you saw how a combination of breathing exercises, juice fasting, dry fasting, and plentiful water intake can help you gain balance in your body. This balance does not come in a day or even a few weeks. It requires constant practice and observation and repetition of exercise and diet patterns to achieve the maximum benefit. The combination of these is the true endurance test and will push you out of your boundaries to find the better you. When done with the complete heart and mind, this process can be a life-changing one, this is where you can knock at the door of attaining true consciousness of self and be appreciative of your surroundings and be in sync with your mind, body, and soul. This will often be a soul-stirring experience in which you will be completely transformed and where you will be amazed to find out your own capability and how far you can go with all your mental, emotional, and spiritual strength. This is where the true calling comes in. This is a time where you connect with the ever-expanding universe and find out the true meaning of your existence and the element of consciousness associated with it. CHAPTER TEN
INTEGRATION INTO DAILY LIFE
EVERYDAY PRACTICES
In terms of integration into your daily life and activities, recognize that you have taken a huge step in your human evolution. Recognize that not everyone will understand your new perception of reality so be patient with those who may not comprehend the expansion of your consciousness. That is, don’t judge them. Understand that they are in their own Process and that you are in yours. Remember that you don’t need to take care of your Process because the Process takes care of itself. Feel free to live your life in creation, remembering that you are always in communication with the Universe with every breath you take, with every thought you create, with every intention you have. Utilize your creative power by aligning your intention and mind. You can have, do, or be, anything you want. Put your energy in movement. Embrace and completely accept yourself as a creator of your reality. Be aware that the transition is different for everyone and just allow the Process to continue developing in the way that is best for you at your own pace. Trust in the intelligence of your body and it will guide you. If in the period of full integration into your daily life and activities, a different or unpleasant situation arises, then is a perfect time to use the 21 Breaths of Joy to relax you and calm your mind and emotions, to be able to think with clarity and make decisions. THE BREATH IS THE MOST POWERFUL TOOL YOU HAVE
To allow the permanent integration of pranic consciousness, it is fundamental
that you continue practicing the breathing techniques. Create a time during your day to put into practice the breathing techniques you have learned. CHAPTER ELEVEN
SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS WITH AKAHI AND
PARTICIPANTS OF THE 8DP
SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS WITH AKAHI AND PARTICIPANTS OF
THE 8-DAY PROCESS
When I was teaching in Holland in 2013, one participant was a professional
Healer and Spiritual Psychologist. He had been using the GDV technology in his practice; he would take measurements of people’s energy as part of his treatment and as a way to measure changes before and after treatment. He asked me if I wanted to do an experiment to measure my vital force energy. I did. He explained to me that the normal area of an energy field was between 17,000 to 22,000 points. (You can learn more about this fascinating field at bio- well.com.) When he measured my energy field through my fingertips, my energy field area was 25,159 points, with 94% symmetry. That was beyond the norm for a very healthy and fit person. He was very impressed because it was the first time he ever saw so much energy in any person, let alone one who barely eats, and only for pleasure. After my energy field readings, I did research about the origins of Dr. Konstantin Korotkov’s powerful technology. After confirming the high reputation and wide range of uses for it, I decided to continue learning the science while using this technique with the participants of the Process. I invited my new friend and GDV practitioner Frank Laros to come and travel with me to my events and to do measurements on other people to see what happens to their energy field and physical body while they are evolving consciousness in the Process. We conducted the experiments in Israel and San Francisco; participants were measured before and after the training. Before the Process, people were in a standard range between 14,000 points of energy to 20,000 points. No surprises there. What was astonishing was that after we finished the Process, all participants had a remarkable increase of life force energy. What happens when we add energy to the body? The body itself regenerates and we live not only longer but better. We have more years of life and better quality of life, because now we have more life force within ourselves. Everybody who has done the 8-Day Process has experienced this rejuvenation. The life force is the amount of energy held by the body to thrive. When we increase our energy, the body organs regenerate and our being becomes physically and spiritually stronger. Imagine the aging process slowing its tempo, thereby extending the lifespan of the body. One of the benefits of this Process is that one does not eat food during the designated days and hence the energy involved in digestion is also utilized for the rejuvenation of the body, helping organs release tension and stress. People also noticed their lung capacity, which is the ability to increase air inhaled and stored, had developed tremendously. They claimed that they could inhale more and this made them feel more energetic. Some people claimed that the stiffness due to stress, especially in the back and spine area, was also reduced drastically. An intimate relationship with breathing was expressed. This exciting inner science is a new way to understand the body’s interaction with the natural elements of Life. It’s important to realize that breathing properly brings in not only air, but also photon energy that is taken into the red blood cells and distributed everywhere. It is a new physiology that is only now being studied. Photons are elementary particles of light. They have unique properties of refraction and diffusion. They are carriers of electromagnetic force. If you have any illness that is troubling you, then it is quite possible that you may be distressed and distracted. However, it does not bode well to worry unnecessarily. By practicing my powerful breathing techniques you will overcome your fears and help your body and mind grow. On another note, people who experienced the 8-Day Process confessed that they felt a lot of admiration and appreciation for their surroundings besides the feeling of positivity that emanated from within their very being. The love that is felt after this Process feels like an unconditional love that is not co-dependent on people. There is a sense of empowerment with this and it changes people. It helps people to let go and not control situations the way most people tend to do in matters big and small. Breathing in the right manner also teaches one the compassion to accept idiosyncrasies and to embrace the differences in people. Figure 6: Shows participant energy field after the 8-Day Process, The increase of life force shown also represents the evolution of the senses and perception (of the consciousness) from 18,600 to 28,238. It’s an increase of 9600. Figure 7: Shows compared analysis statistics of participants before and after two days in the Process Figure 8: Shows Chakra Alignment before and after one day in the 8-Day Process According to the sages and ancient Yoga practitioners, there exist various chakras in the body that help us track the internal bodily movements and they are basically the energy centers within. On another note, the chakras also seemed to be enlarged after the 8-Day Process and interestingly, all the chakras developed and aligned correctly. Technically, this increases the energy and is a result of breathing more. The Method I created is a practice wherein an individual trains his or her perception and senses as well the mind, body, emotion, and soul to feel, perceive, and utilize its own energy field. When a person focuses on its own energy for a prolonged time it gradually trains the sixth senses of the body to become subtly energy-aware. The ever increasing amount of energy produced by breathing feels at the beginning very powerful. It is an ineffable experience of bliss, awakening, wholeness, safety, reconnection with the Inner Power and the Universe, a sensation of relieving love and light energy that resets the energetic blueprint and the firing of light energy in the Meridians and Chakras. The increase of life force energy is also healing energy that is absorbed by or distributed through all the organs of the body for their regeneration and health. It will help you to relax in life. It is a technique that enables the powerful internal energy to flow in a multi-directional manner, thereby helping one develop a general outlook of love, patience, forgiveness, and generosity. By practicing the breathing regularly for 5 to 10 minutes, one can harness the brain’s power of thought in an efficient manner. It also enables you to cultivate the feeling of peace, happiness, and clarity. By increasing the strength of your spiritual energy, you can empower yourself to improve all aspects of your life. In retrospect, the 8-Day Process has been known to show immediate healing of chronic diseases and regeneration of the body function. The Process reactivates the firing in the central and autonomic nervous system, thereby bringing an increased level of activity to dormant functions and muscles of the organs. By breathing clean air in a deep manner, one tends to organically balance the toxicity of the body and this liberates the stress hormones which in turn relaxes the body and mind. When there is more energy in the various organs of the body, then it generates an extension of the life cycle, rejuvenating and slowing the aging process. EVALUATION OF BRAIN WAVE MEASUREMENTS WHILE MEDITATING After the first experiment I became more interested in science and in what was actually scientifically real and confirmed. At this point I knew that whatever was happening inside my mind and spirit was amazing, and like every good scientist I wanted to know more about the miraculous healing occurring in so many people by practicing these techniques for eight days. My practice and higher states of consciousness became deeper and I learned to be able to go higher and higher in energy and wholeness with the Universe. I began an inner Process of refinement of my breathing practices to be able to share with the world the ancient techniques of energy nourishment in a modern method that guarantees proven benefits for its practitioners. A few months later in France, I was contacted by a wonderful couple in their 90s who wanted to do the Process for a second time. They owned a retreat center in the south of France, and invited me to teach the Process there. At this retreat I met Guusje Roozemond, MSc. She was participating in the 8- Day Process. Roozemond was an engineer in Neuro-Feedback Therapy. She invited me to volunteer in a QEEG experiment on measuring the changes in my brain waves while practicing different breathing techniques that I have developed. We carried out four 5-minute experiments using QEEG (Quantitative Electro- EncephaloGram) measurements while I was meditating and consciously breathing Prana into my brain and body. In the brain wave study conducted by Roozemond, the electrical activity of the brain was monitored using electroencephalography. Electrodes were placed in fourteen standard locations on my scalp. The results were so remarkable and unique that once again they showed us that the Breathing techniques of the 8-Day Process can signal a whole new relationship with your own mind and self. UNDERSTANDING OUR BRAIN WAVES Studying various types of brain waves indicates that there are five major categories of brain waves and each corresponds to different frequency. With the Breathings that I will be sharing every day of the Process, I will enable you to move from the higher-frequency brain waves to the lower ones and from lower frequencies to higher ones. This activates the different parts and centers of the brain. Restoring the wavelength of the brain frees your mind to access higher states of consciousness. To understand this concept better, we shall look at the types of brain waves and what they stand for.
• Gamma (Between 30-100 Hz)
Insights, peak focus, expanded consciousness are characteristics of Gamma, the state of enhanced learning; it is the best state in which to retain information. It helps in the permanent assimilation of energy and information. • Beta (13-30 Hz) This state indicates the awakened mind that leads the hypothalamus and the brain to secrete regenerative hormones. The daily functioning of the brain uses this state and it initiates the working or thinking mind, which helps us make plans and use an analytical approach to solving problems. Beta waves occur when the brain is working on goal-oriented tasks, or reflecting actively over a particular issue. EEGs showed a remarkable increase of beta waves during Akahi Breathings. • Alpha (9-13 Hz) Alpha waves aid overall mental coordination, calmness, alertness, mind/body integration, and learning. During this time, our perceptions are slightly lucid and we are more reflective and prone to thinking of the philosophical aspects of life. There is a sense of balance between the hemispheres of the brain and this leads to neural integration. Another interesting observation that came out of the experiments was that during my breathing, my alpha waves were more prominent in all locations of the brain. See images 3, 4. • Theta (4-8 Hz) The state of transition, when the verbal and thinking functions merge, is also the time when there is an intermingling of the meditative and the visual mind. There is a sense of wholeness associated with this state. The theta state of the brain is associated with visualization. It indicates a deep level of relaxation. In theta, our senses are withdrawn from the external world and focused on signals originating from within. • Delta (1-3 Hz) This stage is usually reached when we are in a dreamless sleep that is deep and undisturbed. It is the resting mode of the brain that allows listening to the inner voice. By practicing the basics of this method correctly, you will learn to control and change your brain waves pattern at will and experience the extraordinary capabilities of the mind. This happens gradually as you focus on your breathing and the variety of sensations of energy flowing through the body, and take your mind away from unnecessary thoughts. As the consciousness dawns on you from within, your breathing and thinking begin to work in tandem. Your breath begins to lengthen and will naturally synchronize and tune with your brain waves and heartbeat. The results of these experiments show our capacity to increase the energy of the brain to heal our mind by using the 8-Day Process breathing techniques.

EXTRAORDINARY SUPERPOWERS
APPLYING THE LAWS OF THE UNIVERSE
There are many superhuman capacities that I have received since learning how to feed my body and spirit on Prana. After months of drinking only fresh fruits juices diluted with water, sustaining my life 100% on meditations and breathing practices, I feel completely satisfied and nourished all the time. After that, I started to develop the capacity to use my mind consciously, to use my mind as a tool to create my reality. And by doing that, I consciously accessed the laws of the universe, the law of creation, and the law of attraction. After doing the 21-Day Process, my mind became very clear and sharp. For me, there is no overthinking. It is always a slow-thinking Process that is very refined. As our thoughts become refined, the message that we transmit to the universe is also clearer because there is no overthinking through the usual cloud of thoughts. There is just one thought and this thought goes straight to the source. I want to create that. I want to experience that. The message is very clear. And also the feedback, the response of the universe, returns very clear and very fast. The manifestation of our dreams and goals comes very quickly and beyond what we can imagine. Sometimes, when we want to create something from the mind, we want to control the process. We want to do it our way. And we think about how to do it and who’s going to help us. We want to get the money and all the resources. So we put limitations on the creative process by adding all of these thoughts. However, when we just trust the source, and send the message— holding a beautiful intention of well-being—we trust in that well-being to attract more well-being. If we allow the universe to surprise us in the way it will manifest, it happens faster than if we try do it using our mind. Expand my energy at will. Another thing I have discovered is the ability to influence my body, to influence how much my body processes the information that it receives. For example, I used to be overwhelmed by the influence of society, television, computers, all these differing energies coming from the planet and the people. But after I became aware of Prana and how to use it, I discovered that if I increased my energy field with love, art, and compassion, I would become the one who influences the environment that I lived in, instead of the environment influencing me. MIRACULOUS HEALING
Incredible healing starts to happen within and after the Process. I have seen it. People who cannot walk, start walking. People who have such intense arthritis that it prevents them from walking or moving freely, start moving about, walking, and using their bodies again. People who have HIV have come to the Process because they are just desperate, and through this intelligent energy have healed themselves. Many cancer cases have been completely reversed, surprising the doctors involved in those cases. I was invited to participate and collaborate at a clinic in California’s Silicon Valley. There, I worked with people who were very sick and urgently needed help. And after just one session, I saw that as they were finishing the session, their skin began to glow. Their eyes glowed. And they felt happy. They felt that they were not sick anymore. They felt the illness just disappear. At the beginning, I couldn’t even believe it. For me, everything has been a huge surprise. But now that it has happened so many times and people are experiencing these amazing healings, it has started to feel natural for me to be a conduit of all kinds of miraculous healings. WHAT IS ENLIGHTENMENT? I was becoming an enlightened yogi without trying. This is the way a human body in this age, in this modern time, can be enlightened. It doesn’t have to be enlightenment on a mountain-top or in a Himalayan monastery. This is a way to bring enlightenment into our society, into our reality as human beings, and walk in the streets and share with our community as enlightened beings, knowing and interacting with the pure intelligence of the universe. This came to me because I was ready. Because if I learned from somebody else before I was ready, the experience would not be so powerful, so real, so simple, or so easy. The Process I am presenting to the world now is very easy. The Immortality of the Spirit: Slowing and Stopping the Aging Process. As of this writing, I am 35 years old. I have learned that the maintenance of youth in the body through the pranic breatharian state is a very real possibility. How is it possible that our body can stay young for as long as we want? As we gain confidence in this field of energy and we access it on a deep level, we learn that this intelligent energy is immortal. This energy never gets old. This energy never dies and is without beginning or end. As we connect, as we sync with it, our body responds to that immortality inherent in the energy. So it stays young and it stays healthy, as long as you choose to stay embodied. It is the freedom that we have to control our aging process, the freedom that we have to control our vital cycle, the freedom to control our mind and how our mind processes the information about age and physical symptoms. When we access this intelligence, we recognize this immortality. And this immortality becomes part of our mind. Our mind sees life as eternal. My mind sees life as something that is beautiful to experience; I can choose to be here, alive, as long as I want. HUNGER AND FREEDOM
We are talking about the freedom to choose from the diversity of life and how to enjoy that diversity with balance. You are taking spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional nourishment from Prana. That is normal and beautiful. It creates balance in the body, and the whole being feels comfortable. If we access this intelligent energy that is nourishing us, we naturally feel less hungry. We feel a decrease in the need for food. If we create a balance that is, for example, 70% Prana, 30% fruit, that is perfect, because you are enjoying your physical body experience with the tastes and the flavors of nature. For me, to be a Pranic Breatharian means that all the energy that I receive comes from the cosmos, from nature, and also from within myself. The way I feed myself is through conscious Pranic/energy breathing. Energy is in everything. Right here in this moment we are in abundant energy. As you read this book, we are co-creating with Prana, which is an interaction, an interchange of energy. And when we are conscious of this energy, when we can see it, when we can feel it, we are right away taking advantage of it. I have also learned to receive food through smell, because for me, I have come to discover that food smells better than it tastes. So a lot of times, just by being around people who are eating, and just smelling what is coming from their dishes, for me, it’s like eating. I enjoy it a lot. My mouth wakes up to the memory of that taste because my tongue still holds the memory of those flavors. Just by smelling it, it kind of reactivates those memories, and I feel like I am eating. I feel like I am actually enjoying the flavor of the food. For me, the desire to eat is not present. It’s like there is no relationship with food. Food is part of the diversity of life. That’s how I see food, as part of the diversity, and that we are here to enjoy this diversity with balance. That’s what I want to transmit to the world and to people: that this is not about eating or fasting. In the 8-Day Process, we work directly with the consciousness of our electromagnetic bodies/fields (some may know this as Merkaba, Aura, Body of Light) in breath, silence, and stillness, activating harmonious sensational states through the conscious Breath, working with our neurocellular systems, freeing the body-mind-emotions-spirit, emptying our being of old fears and conditioning that may be blocking our evolution towards Universal Love as the permanent expression of our being. As a consequence of this state of peace, love, and harmony, a great evolution of consciousness occurs naturally. The feelings of necessity created by the illusion of separation naturally fade away, including the necessity of eating, drinking, sleeping, getting sick, aging, and dying. We obtain control over our vital cycles, as internal codes are activated, magnifying atomic structures. With conscious self-reprogramming of the DNA, we have the opportunity to activate profound healing on all levels, with ripple effects reaching our families and children, benefiting all the new generations. We can dissolve old thought patterns and emotional conditioning, letting go of uncomfortable experiences held within our memory on a cellular level. By doing so we are birthing our whole being and embodying all aspects of who we are. We can experience the body’s self-healing capacities through visual activation and open new neurological pathways. We allow our innate wisdom to guide us, re-creating ourselves in the experience of happiness, joy, and love. We can bring in the possibility of living on light and nourishing the body through Pranic Breathing. CHAPTER THIRTEEN
MICHELLES’ KAREN ASTROLOGICAL
READING ON THE 8 DAY PROCESS
In the days before the 8-Day Process in Bolinas, California in 2013, the organizer of the event and I had the wonderful opportunity to talk with Michelle Karen who is a world-renowned Astrologist and ask her to read the cosmic chart of the 8-Day Process. While we were listening to Michelle channelling the chart, the energy that came through was so powerful and intelligent, it was as if Michelle was able to access the Akashic Records of the 8-Day Process, and finally decode the meaning of the process for humanity, a tremendous vibration in my skin, a very wise energy that went right through the core of my heart, of my spine and my brain. It was as if the Cosmos was explaining the process to me. Although this astrological reading was done in a particular year, I have come to the conclusion that it is not limited to one event or group; the amazing transformation continues to happen with every person and group whom I share the process with. Michelle Karen—Astrological Reading of the 8DP—Recording—Sept 2013 The chart for this Pranic breathing retreat is really interesting in that it has Libra rising. That means that it’s going to bring balance to the participants. There’s going to be really a sense of tremendous inner love and bridging the old consciousness with the new consciousness. It’s very much a chart that talks about mastery and that talks about the importance of being responsible and being very much at cause in life and that there is really going to be access to some very deep metaphysical truth that is going to come through that retreat. There is also a very great sense of a complete shift at the DNA level, and it’s a complete cellular regeneration of the body that is actually going to open new species and that is actually going to create some new pathways, almost like neurological pathways for inter-dimensional information to come through the cells at the cellular level. It’s quite an extraordinary process, and it’s something that I’ve never seen quite as clearly written as that, and there’s really essential [soul 00:01:42] of touching the spiritual inter-dimensional, intergalactic elements that it’s almost like going through the veil and a capacity to become even more ... each participant will be able to become even more who they are in their divinity and in their creativity and in their uniqueness and their spiritual uniqueness. There’s really going to be also a sense of being rainbow bridges and going very deep within in terms of consciousness, in terms of understanding, in terms of communication, and in terms of being able to access some very ancient wisdom and some very ancient knowledge that has been buried for a very long time that is now ready to emerge from the depths of the beings who are going to be in that retreat. There’s really a sense that ... First of all, it feels like a family coming together. It feels like really people who have known each other in the past even if it’s the first time that they meet. It feels like a spiritual family going back to the source and going back to ... I want to say the [inaudible 00:03:16] and I want to say something that’s related to the ancient, a very pure source of knowledge that understood the body as ... It’s almost like going back to creation. It’s almost going back to an understanding of how the body emerged out of nothing in a way and how creation happens out of thin air and how to, again, be able to tap into this very high frequency information that comes in such a way that through experiencing Pranic breathing, it’s going to be even more than that because it’s going to be about experiencing the ability to manifest and create in practical reality. There’s really going to be a sense of creating an incredible bridge, inter- dimensional bridge, and linking together all sorts of dimensions that have an incredibly pure resonance with each other in such a way that they are enabling the body to not only get purified, detoxified, but regenerate and create, within itself, another grid. It’s actually an incredibly extraordinary process that is beginning this Saturday. It really has its source in civilizations that were very much in connection with the earth, with nature, and with an understanding of the plants and an understanding of the trees and ability to connect with the messages of the plants, the trees, and the flowers and to now bring that into an even deeper connection that has to do with the laws of the universe, that has to do with the laws of creation, has to do with the laws of manifestation. There is really a sense of incredible balance. It’s not going to be any extreme reaction or any extreme ... It’s nothing extreme, and even though it seems revolutionary, it is really not because it is about reconnecting with the primordial wisdom and being able to really understand and manifest in a conscious way the ability to completely recreate the body from a crystalline grid and being able to absolutely manifest a metaphysical truth through physicality that connects with inter-dimensionality. It’s a very beautiful process of love, and so love is very prominent in this chart. It’s really a sense of understanding the deeper dimensions of love, the deeper consciousness associated with love, and really understanding through unconditional love and really through the retreat and the experience that you’re all going to go through. There’s really going to be an incredible sense of oneness, not just among yourselves and with each person with themselves. Really this sense of connecting the sacred marriage inside and the balance of the masculine and the feminine within, but there’s also going to be a sense of oneness with the world. This retreat is actually creating incredible ... I want to say incredible magic in the world and incredible consciousness that’s going to spread everywhere. It’s not just going to be an isolated event. It’s really going to be an event that connects the world to a very pure source of understanding and knowledge out of which a new beginning is going to occur for the participants and for everybody who is going to be touched by the people who attended this retreat. The ripple effects are going to be enormous on a vibrational and a frequency level. TRANSCRIPT OF A READING BY ASTROLOGIST MICHELLE KAREN After listening to Michelle’s reading and while sharing the 8-Day Process with a group of 20 people, my being was leading me to link the dots, and to build all the pieces of the puzzle together. Michelle was talking about a shift at the DNA level, about a process with ancient wisdom that is creating new species and inter- dimensional communication, a process that is here to create magic and freedom in the world and that every being that will be touched by the energy of this process will be transformed and energetically upgraded to its higher State of Light and Consciousness.

TESTIMONIALS
TESTIMONIAL OF A CANCER PATIENT
I was diagnosed with terminal cancer. The oncologist told me I was not a candidate for surgery, which is a death sentence. The “number” (presence of tumor markers) for a normal, healthy person is under 35. When diagnosed, my number was 780. I looked at the oncologist and said: “I’m not going to die from this.” I knew I was in control. A friend put me in touch with Ricardo, and the very next day, a Saturday, we had our first session. He gave me hope. I delayed medical treatment for four weeks, and worked with Ricardo two to three times a week for those four weeks. Just before I started chemo, my number was 590. Something was working. I felt energy throughout my body. We have so much power. I continued to work with Ricardo while I did chemo. Every month my numbers came down. Our sessions really helped my body handle the chemo much better than normal. When my number got down to 128, I was a candidate for surgery. In our sessions, I envisioned all the cancer cells being pushed to the middle and being very visible to the doctors. After surgery, my doctor said that everything was in perfect alignment for him to get the cancer out. I owe my life to these sessions with Ricardo. CHAPTER FIFTEEN
FREQUENT QUESTIONS
Q: Why do you travel the world to offer these workshops in conscious
breathing? A: I’m excited about teaching people how to nourish from nature’s and cosmic energy because it has the potential to end the hunger in the world and can diminish the political excuses to create war based on energetic demands. It’s been proven to help to prevent illnesses, it liberates people from the unnecessary suffering of a demanding society. Q: If I only drink juice for a week, I know I’ll be tired and grumpy all the time. Even if I just skip breakfast, I’m tired and grumpy. A: Tiredness and grumpiness are detox symptoms. The 8-Day Process is very different than a fast. The difference is that we use powerful techniques that energize the body; this will maintain the overall well being of the body while going through the process. The grumpiness and anxieties will fade away and give way to an experience of grace and evolution.. Q: I’m concerned about losing weight. I’m worried that I might lose too much on this program. A: During the 8-Day Process, people lose emotional as well as physical weight, the weight of toxins and emotions and over-loaded thoughts. The amount of weight to lose will vary with each person. After the process, when they resume eating a diet of living foods, healthy greens, fruit and salad, people gain healthy weight in the amount that fits them. Q: Why all the stress on dry fasting, anyway? A: While there are benefits to be derived from a juice fast, the main point of the Process is to activate the body’s capacity to self-nourish. The abundant energy we gain through the Process triggers our body’s healing mechanisms. Q: In your background story, you talk about not drinking at all for a week. Is that safe? It sounds scary. A: I don’t recommend that people do what I did. I have created a better Process and I recommend only the 8-Day Process to my participants, because if has been proven to be safer, easier and life lasting. It involves an optional one to three days of dry fasting, which is safe. And you don’t have to do even that if you have concerns, you can keep drinking abundant water or juices instead. The Process is not about forcing or pressuring people to do anything they don’t feel safe doing. We create a gentle, loving, non-coercive atmosphere. Q: What about people with illnesses? Can they do the 8-Day Process safely? A: People who need medications should continue taking their pills. Diabetics will be aware of managing their sugar and will drink green juice rather than fruit juice. There is no problem with taking pills during the process, especially if they make you feel safe. Q: I don’t think I’m well enough to fast. A: You don’t have to fast if you don’t feel strong enough. No one will make you do anything you don’t feel is safe for you. The emphasis is on the breathing techniques. CHAPTER SIXTEEN
CONCLUSION
In 2008, after years of spiritual growth, Ricardo Akahi took the ultimate step of human evolution by undergoing the 21-Day Process, with no food or water, to learn to feed his body on Light. After three years nourishing his body on Prana instead of solid food, Akahi began to teach the Breatharian Method in more than twenty countries all over the world. Akahi shares the Breatharian Method wherein an individual trains his or her perception and senses as well the mind, body, emotions, and soul to feel, perceive, attune and utilize its own energy field. When you focus on your own energy for a prolonged time, you are gradually training the sixth sense of the body to become subtly energy-aware. The ever- increasing amount of energy produced by breathing feels at the beginning very powerful; it is an ineffable experience of bliss, awakening, wholeness, safety, and reconnection with the Inner Power and the Universe, a sensation of releasing love and light energy that resets the energetic blueprint and the firing of light energy in the Meridians and Chakras. The increase of life force energy also produces healing energy that is absorbed or distributed through all the organs of the body for their regeneration and health. It will help you to relax in life. It is a technique that enables the powerful internal energy to flow in a multi-directional manner, thereby helping one develop a general outlook of love, patience, forgiveness, and generosity. By practicing the Breathings regularly for five to ten minutes, you can harness the brain power of thought in an efficient manner. It also enables you to cultivate a feeling of peace, happiness, and clarity. By increasing the strength of your spiritual energy, you can empower yourself to improve all aspects of your life. The 8-Day Process has been known to bring immediate healing of chronic diseases and regeneration of body function. The Process reactivates the firing in the central and autonomic nervous system, thereby bringing an increased level of activity to dormant functions and muscles around the organs. By breathing clean air in a deep manner, one tends to organically balance the toxicity of the body and this liberates the stress hormones, which in turn relaxes the body and mind. When there is more energy in the various organs of the body, it generates an extension of the life cycle, rejuvenating the person and slowing the aging Process. CONSCIOUSNESS—From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Representation of consciousness from the seventeenth century by Robert Fludd,
an English Paracelsian physician Consciousness is the state or quality of awareness, or, of being aware of an external object or something within oneself.[1][2] It has been defined variously in terms of sentience, awareness, qualia, subjectivity, the ability to experience or to feel, wakefulness, having a sense of selfhood or soul, the fact that there is something “that it is like” to “have” or “be” it, and the executive control system of the mind.[3] In contemporary philosophy its definition is often hinted at via the logical possibility of its absence, the philosophical zombie, which is defined as a being whose behavior and function are identical to one’s own yet there is “no-one in there” experiencing it. Despite the difficulty in definition, many philosophers believe that there is a broadly shared underlying intuition about what consciousness is.[4] As Max Velmans and Susan Schneider wrote in The Blackwell Companion to Consciousness: “Anything that we are aware of at a given moment forms part of our consciousness, making conscious experience at once the most familiar and most mysterious aspect of our lives.”[5] Western philosophers, since the time of Descartes and Locke, have struggled to comprehend the nature of consciousness and identify its essential properties. Issues of concern in the philosophy of consciousness include whether the concept is fundamentally coherent; whether consciousness can ever be explained mechanistically; whether non-human consciousness exists and if so how can it be recognized; how consciousness relates to language; whether consciousness can be understood in a way that does not require a dualistic distinction between mental and physical states or properties; and whether it may ever be possible for computing machines like computers or robots to be conscious, a topic studied in the field of artificial intelligence. Thanks to developments in technology over the past few decades, consciousness has become a significant topic of interdisciplinary research in cognitive science, with significant contributions from fields such as psychology, anthropology,[6] [7] neuropsychology and neuroscience. The primary focus is on understanding what it means biologically and psychologically for information to be present in consciousness—that is, on determining the neural and psychological correlates of consciousness. The majority of experimental studies assess consciousness in humans by asking subjects for a verbal report of their experiences (e.g., “tell me if you notice anything when I do this”). Issues of interest include phenomena such as subliminal perception, blindsight, denial of impairment, and altered states of consciousness produced by alcohol and other drugs, or spiritual or meditative techniques. In medicine, consciousness is assessed by observing a patient’s arousal and responsiveness, and can be seen as a continuum of states ranging from full alertness and comprehension, through disorientation, delirium, loss of meaningful communication, and finally loss of movement in response to painful stimuli.[8] Issues of practical concern include how the presence of consciousness can be assessed in severely ill, comatose, or anesthetized people, and how to treat conditions in which consciousness is impaired or disrupted.[9] The degree of consciousness is then measured by the Glasgow Coma Scale.

In Hindu philosophy including yoga, Indian medicine, and martial arts, Prana ( , prāṇa; the Sanskrit word for “life force” or “vital principle”)[1] comprises all cosmic energy, permeating the Universe on all levels. Prana is often referred to as the “life force” or “life energy”.[not verified in body] It also includes energies present in inanimate objects.[not verified in body] In the Hindu literature, prana is sometimes described as originating from the Sun and connecting the elements of the Universe.[2] This life energy has been vividly invoked and described in the ancient Vedas and Upanishads.[not verified in body] In living beings, this universal energy is considered responsible for all bodily functions through five types of prana, collectively known as the five vāyus. Ayurveda, tantra and Tibetan medicine all describe praṇā vāyu as the basic vāyu from which all the other vāyus arise. Indologist Georg Feuerstein explains, “The Chinese call it chi, the Polynesians mana, the Amerindians orenda, and the ancient Germans od. It is an all-pervasive ‘organic’ energy.” Related Glossary Terms Drag related terms here Index Find Term
