Maharishi
Vedic Vibration Technology:
More than Just Relief
by
Dr. Jim Fairchild
|
When I first signed up for Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology I didn’t
know much about the program. I’d heard that the Vedic experts were
practicing an ancient technique that brought about profound physiological
changes and relief from pain. And I knew that the relief takes place
without drugs or surgery or any other invasive therapies. But I didn’t
know that the program often produces increased happiness and improvements
in seemingly unrelated areas. And all for less than the cost of a single
night in a hospital!
How it Works
Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology is a completely natural program
that uses Natural Law to help correct health-related problems. The Laws of
Nature exist in the unmanifest field of intelligence known in the Vedic
Literature as Atma and
in modern quantum field theory as the Unified Field. As the Laws of Nature
express themselves, they first emerge as waves, which are available in the
sounds of Veda and the Vedic Literature. That means that all matter—
including cells, tissues, organs, and the entire physiology—is based on
these vibrations of Natural Law.
Here, then, is the basic principle of Maharishi Vedic Vibration
Technology: If all matter, including the body, is sound waves, then anyone
who knows how to use sounds should be able to influence the body. And this
is exactly what the experts do. They use specific sounds to influence
specific areas of the body to transform disorder into orderliness, disease
into health.
Although the program is highly specific, the effects are often
holistic, as in the case of one participant who signed up for her weak
digestion, which had been growing steadily worse. The problem was
accompanied by severe belching that originated above the abdomen. "I
never thought my abdominal pain would be gone—you know, it’s a
different category than weak digestion—yet it was one of the first
things to go," she said. "My hiatal hernia pain has also
improved, and the belching has all but disappeared."
Dr. Alan Hosler experienced a more specific correction. He’d had
sinusitis for about eight years, suffering a constant drainage from his
sinuses into his nose. He says he didn’t see much change after the first
couple of sessions, but then experienced major improvement after the third
session—about 65 percent. Says Dr. Hosler, "I went in skeptical,
and I came out unskeptical."
What it Does
Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology
experts have been specially trained under the guidance of Maharishi, who
has revived this age-old knowledge. You can sign up for as many different
disorders as you like for each consultation. The program is not medical in
nature, and it’s not necessary to give up other medical care.
Since the program reestablishes wholeness in the individual’s health,
its effects are not limited to the physical body. People often sign up for
mental and emotional health problems. I’m told that anxiety is one of
the most commonly requested areas.
A major area of concern is women’s health. Several women have
reported improvements in their monthly cycles. One woman signed up for her
anxiety and also got her monthly cycle normalized. For about six months
before she began the program she had been plagued with an irregular
menstrual cycle. "My anxiety is now completely under control, but the
minute I signed up for the program, my monthly cycle also changed. It’s
been regular for several months now," she says.
A student in her early twenties told me she had signed up for both her
menstrual problem and for poor digestion. "My body just stopped
menstruating for a year and a half. After the first session I immediately
started feeling menstrual cramps—I always get cramps with my periods—and
then a month went by and I started menstruating. It’s been regular ever
since...amazing, really amazing!" she says. "I’ve also seen
improvements in my digestion. I’d like to go for more sessions. In fact,
I wish everybody could do Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology!"
The program can also help people with structural problems. Peggy Elsner
says she’d had severe problems with her neck for the past 20 years.
Pain, discomfort, and even some immobility had made it necessary for her
to visit the chiropractor every few weeks. "My neck has improved
about 95 per cent since I started the program. The pain is completely gone
and I haven’t needed to see a chiropractor since. It’s not perfect—there’s
still a little something there—but it’s pretty incredible."
Eamon Edmonds, whose right foot became paralyzed in a car accident,
hadn’t felt anything in his foot for 38 years. "I started feeling
tingling sensations during the first session. In various parts of my foot
there is much more feeling now, and walking is smoother…people tell me I’m
walking better. My ankle had been frozen at a 90-degree angle, but now
there’s much more feeling in the ankle, much more life."
Side Benefits
As I mentioned above, people often
experience improvements in areas in addition to the ones they signed up
for. Nearly everyone I talked to reported more bliss or happiness. Part of
it, I think, has to do with the nature of the program. The body and mind
become completely relaxed during the process. Many people have reported
very deep transcendence during the sessions, always
accompanied by bliss, which may continue afterwards. One participant said,
"I experienced a lot of bliss during the sessions, and now it’s
just become a part of my life."
Phil Tomlinson, who is on dialysis for his kidneys, feels that the
happiness he experienced has made it
easier for him to cope with the stress of being tied to
a machine and has given him renewed hope. Eamon Edmonds says he found the
sessions, themselves, very blissful. "Overall, I’m much happier now
as a result of the program."
Many people report increased well being during and following the
sessions. Chandra Cain says, "I felt
a huge opening of my heart. I felt a lot of love and a lot of delicacy
afterwards. I felt really very refined. The most amazing thing was, during
the sessions I could feel all these sensations of lightness and air in
places where there was pain."
Nearly everyone I talked to felt that the success of the program was
directly related to the quality of their daily routines. Those who went to
bed early, were regular with their meditation, and ate nourishing, pure
foods felt that it enhanced the results. Margi Wilson says, "When I
took the program I had just done a week of the Maharishi Rejuvenation
program and was starting a week-long meditation course. Both things helped
tremendously."
