Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology
Participants' Results

Grateful for the Rest of My Life
By Joe Karkovack

I have been practicing the Transcendental Meditation technique for 25 years and I’ve always been very impressed with TM—but nothing prepared me for my Vedic Vibration experience

I was born with a deformed disc at the bottom of my spine. One day in March of 1990 the disc exploded. One of the nerves from the spine became pinched between two pieces of broken disc, causing me excruciating pain. For the next eight months I went from doctor to doctor, but they couldn’t locate the problem. Finally I found a doctor who used an MRI machine for diagnosis. He removed the pieces of disc, but by then a lot of nerve damage had been done. A great deal of feeling was gone from my right foot and leg.

About a year ago, I began to experience a lot of back pain again. MRI’s revealed a significant case of spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spinal canal. But because of severe degenerative disc disease, surgery was not an option for me. I took the most powerful pain medication you can get and all kinds of prescription medicine, but nothing relieved the severe pain.

When I heard about Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology I decided to give it a try. While I was lying there during my first session, I was saying to myself that this is never going to work. But as the procedure continued I began to feel the pain disappear. I also could begin to feel areas of my foot, which had been numb for years, regain feeling.

The feelings inside my body while the Vedic Sounds were applied amazed me. At times I felt my spine get very warm, and at first the pain got worse. Then all of a sudden the pain began to become less and less. This procedure was the most fascinating experience I have ever had.

Today was my first day back at work after my Vedic Vibration consultation and my co-workers are amazed to see me walking so much better and free from pain. The relief from this pain has made my life worth living again. I am extremely grateful to Maharishi for bringing out this knowledge, and I can only wonder what else he knows.

I urge any long-time sufferer who has lost hope and faith in modern medicine to give this amazing technique a try. I will be grateful for this technology every day for the rest of my life.

It Really Was Instant Relief
By Nathaniel Levin

I n 1987 I injured my neck badly while moving heavy equipment. X-rays showed that two of my cervical vertebrae were not following the natural curve of the spine. On and off over the next thirteen years, I saw a chiropractor seeking relief. Most of the time the pain would be dull and constant, but when I strained my neck I would have to be put in traction or wear a cervical collar.

In June 2000, after working on a physically strenuous project, I began to have classic pinched nerve symptoms— shooting pain in both arms, and my hands were becoming numb. I was in constant, desperate pain.

When I began my Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology consultation in September, the results were unbelievable. It really was instant relief. From the very first moments of the first session, I had profound relief from the constant pain.

My degree is in math and physics so I know intellectually that vibration is the basis of creation, but it's still hard to fathom that someone could help my neck and basically not even touch me! Now, the pinched nerve symptoms are completely gone, and my neck pain is no longer a barrier to doing everything I love—tennis, racquetball, swimming and more.

A Winter with No Pain
Sandy Basker

I have had pain and stiffness in my hands for several years. In the winter, I couldn't seem to get my hands warm. I had started wearing wool fingerless gloves indoors at work to try to keep them warm and lessen the pain.

I had a Maharishi Vedic Vibration Technology consultation over a year ago. There were some immediate results, but I was very skeptical. Last spring, I realized that I had gotten through the entire winter with NO PAIN! The gloves stayed in my desk drawer and I never thought about them. I recommend this treatment to anyone with any arthritis pain.
