Pranayama and Energization to the Rescue

“For 2 1/2 years I have tried everything (diet, exercise, weight lifting, cognitive therapy, behavior modification, doctors, alternative healers, etc.) to heal my cough and low energy—to no avail. I knew they were due to energy stuck in my throat.

“The Advanced Pranayama program called to me. Each day of the program my energy went up and my cough lessened—because I was doing enthusiastic energization exercises, asanas, pranayama, and meditation.

“Through this program, I have learned to release the stuck energy, and redirect and center it in the astral spine.”

In deep appreciation and awe,
