In November 1996 our firstborn, Ashish, aged 26, a great healer and chiropractic doctor, went to the Great Barrier Reef for a holiday and drowned during water sports in the ocean. His body could not be recovered, although aircrafts searched for two days. The waters are shark infested.

Ashish was a wonderful, spiritual person and my good friend and soul mate. 1997 was spent mostly struggling to live and accept the tragedy. My husband and I came to India to help ourselves, to be nurtured by family and friends.

My good friends, the Mubayi's, suggested I learn Pranic Healing at the Delhi Foundation. I decided to do the Basic Course. The course was very interesting and the teaching thorough. My coursemates were housewives, office workers, computer scientists, lawyers and even an army officer !

I was a senior lecturer and reader at the University of Delhi for 20 years. I have a doctorate degree from Monash University in Melbourne. My interest in medicine led me to do courses in Homeopathy and Chinese medicine. For 15 years I have been practicing these two modalities in Australia and run a busy clinic.

I was impressed. Right from the first day's instruction, the Basic Pranic Healing Course participants went to their home and treated ailing friends and family members for sore knees, headaches etc. The next day they reported getting 100% results. That day I decided that I would take Pranic Healing to Australia.

We were fortunate to meet Master Choa Kok Sui in Delhi His demonstration and talk on Pranic Healing was very impressive. After the talk I met Mr Gregory Castanarez, who is a personal disciple of Master and is himself an advanced Pranic Healer and gifted teacher. Greg as he is affectionately known to all, took one look at me and told me that my lower chakras were deficient. These relate to the will to survive, and mine was at a low ebb due to our loss.

Greg gave me Pranic Healing for 45 minutes and during the treatment, I felt it was a transforming and an uplifting experience. The grief no longer disabled me and my will to life returned. The effects of the treatment have lasted to date, more than 7 months later. That evening friends visited me and said that I was transformed.We all thanked God that my smile was back.

When I returned to Melbourne, I told my younger son, Amaresh, an acupuncturist, about the Pranic Healing and we both went to Manila to do under Greg's instruction at the Institute for Inner Studies. We started incorporating this unique healing modality into our practices and were impressed by the instantaneous and dramatic results.

I feel an overwhelming impetus to spread the information about Pranic Healing, to share with others, the ability to empower oneself without the use of drugs, to be able to cope well with all the pain and sorrows of life, to expand one's consciousness and to materialise one's wishes and goals. In May, this year, we organized the Basic and Advanced Pranic Healing courses, in Melbourne taught by Greg. Almost 300 people attended the courses. They were people from all walks of life and professions from different parts of Australia.

In the month of september we have organized 4 courses, including Psychotherapy and Crystal Healing. It is heart warming and rewarding to see the response and the results, when people learn and use this technique to help uplift themselves and others. I alongwith Amaresh are being instructed in Arhatic meditation by Greg. This is a very special spiritual self development path that we have to follow.

Four months after I did the courses in Manila I was able to give a public information and promotional talk about the Pranic Healing courses in Melbourne. I did a successful demonstration of instant Pranic Healing on one of the attendees. Consequently, the response to registering for the courses has been overwhelming.

I recommended this system of healing to all. Everyone has an innate ability to heal and the techniques can be easily learnt. It is a unique and powerful way to heal self and others thus spreading light and joy.

I thank Master Choa Kok Sui and Master Mike Nator for all the effort that they have invested in devising this wonderful healing modality. I thank Gregory Castanarez for helping me to overcome my grief. Now I can practice and take Pranic Healing into Australian households and health practices.

I, also thank the Delhi Pranic Healing Foundation for opening new vistas for me, and through myself to many people in Australia.
