Most people are the wrong type of Hanuman. Instead of meditating on Lord Rama or their Sadguru, they regularly meditate on the wrong type of role models such as actors, actresses, singers and rock stars. If you meditate on them, you do not get spiritual empowerment. This is using the wrong model. Who you meditate on, you become.
Hanuman is the ultimate bhakti yogi because he is constantly looking at the Sadguru, not just physically, but also internally, and always listening to his instructions. You can say to your Sadguru, “I am your disciple, but spiritually we are one,” only if you become a Hanuman.
This book is dedicated to all the people whose life challenge is battling their monkey-mind (ego) which I believe is the cause of suffering and can be conquered by becoming like Hanuman whose love and devotion to his Sadguru is shown by the application of Hanuman Qigong and Hunaman ji’s mantras and self-realization teachings of Kashmir Shaivism contained in this book.

“This is how I quiet my monkey mind – I become aware of my breath and my monkey mind quiets down. Where awareness goes, energy flows. Where energy flows, awareness follows.”

“Since the molecular structure of water is the essence of all life, the man who can control that structure in cellular system will change the world.” – Albert Szent-Gyori (1893-1986) Nobel Prize in Chemistry
The kind and quality of water you choose to drink is as important in drinking water so that you don’t get dehydrated.
A Testimonial on the miracle of alkaline water:
“There are about 35 men ages starting at 22 yrs to 60 yrs old. They are alcoholics and drug users which the court has sent to the Restoration Ranch as a last resort before sending them to prison.
However, the miracle of the alkaline water is that I hear reports from the men that they sleep through the night, their muscles are not cramping up, head aches have disappeared, sugar cravings have diminished or completely gone away, tremors in the nerves have subsided, and what I have heard the most is that those who were depressed are acting somewhat normal.
They can actually keep their focus on the good things of life and there is much more. These things are happening in just several days using the water.” – S. W. Florida
The above testimonial attests to the miracle of alkaline water, a very important adjunct therapy used with other alkalizing Classical Chinese medicine modalities (such as acupuncture, herbs, qigong, qi-healing, meditation, exercise, diet, acupressure, counselling) in the Freedom Health Recovery holistic program for treating the root cause(s) of drug addiction.
This 50 year old Japanese water technology is another first innovation for Freedom Health Recovery that ensures unequalled success when it comes to recovery from drug addiction!

The healing codes are the Healing Conscious Mind Encodements that are used every time the Merkaba field is activated through the use of Qi-healing, Enlightenment Qigong forms, Maitreya (Shiva) Shen Gong and Omkabah Heart Lightbody Activation. Each healing code is used for a particular specific disease(s) you wish to heal for yourself and others.
“A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.” – Mahatma Gandhi
“Where awareness (or attention) goes, energy flows. Where energy flows, awareness follows.” – Qigong expression
“The Heart is the Supreme Master of the organs and is the home of shen, the Spirit. If the Master is brilliant, his subjects are peaceful. If the Master is disturbed, his twelve officials [the body’s organ systems] are endangered.”
“Our true Spirit, which the Chinese call shen, is the spark of divinity that resides within the heart of every human being and manifests as love, kindness, compassion, generosity, giving, tolerance, forgiveness, mercy, tenderness and the appreciation of beauty. It is the Spirit of a human being as the divine messenger, the channel of God’s will and love. Shen is the purpose of all spiritual paths. It is the Buddha’s desire to end suffering and it is Christ’s love and compassion… Shen manifests only when the heart is open. Once the heart is open, shen manifests as light that illuminates the path of a man or woman in life’s journey toward the spiritual goal and along the spiritual path.” – quotes from Ron Teeguarden’s book Radiant Health
“All diseases belong to the heart.” – ancient Chinese sage
“The merkaba energy ball of light has the ability to heal and rejuvenate any form of creation as it is the living conscious holographic pattern of God Source vibration.” – Master Thoth

The goal of the fourth book Keys to Healing and Self-Mastery according to the Hathors, a supplementary book to Holographic Sound Healing taught at the Meditation and Qigong Mastery book, and the Omkabah Heart Lightbody Activation video, is to build the Ka and offer readers an effective Hathor’s emotional mastery technique to manage emotional stress, the main cause of disease, in their daily lives and spiritually awaken when emotional stress is cleared, released and stabilized. Doing this practice will provide a fast, safe way to stabilize your chaotic emotions such anger or fear. Holographic Sound Healing with the Four Sacred Elements is integrated with Ka(Merkaba) Meditation to complement Holographic Lightbody activation, and build the Sahhu or immortal golden lightbody. Dr. Johanna Budwig’s Diet for Cancer and Chronic Diseases and Sun Gazing are included as adjunct keys to healing.
From the Back Cover
“This auric field around the Ka can ignite at a certain moment in the upward movement of ascension and become a field of intense golden light. The early Egyptians referred to this as the “Sahhu” or glorious spiritual body.” – Hathors
The Sahhu (also called “immortal golden lightbody”) I’m referring to is the ultimate goal of Taoist, Buddhist, Mayan, Shaivite, Egyptian internal alchemy practices, Qigong, Merkaba meditation, and the Hathor’s Holographic Sound Healing which will be your actualized crystalized replica after the so called “death” of the physical body.
Is it possible to attain a Sahhu or immortal golden lightbody? A definite yes. However, you are the only one who can complete your whole body enlightenment and nobody else. All I or any healer/teacher can do is guide you, nevertheless, this most worthwhile work takes time and is its own reward because on a personal level it is the only thing you can take with you. You can’t take your money or your reputation or your kids or your house or anything. You can only take your essence. And if you have not integrated it you can’t even take the fragments of your essence with you at death. Until you integrate your essence into an immortal golden lightbody, you don’t even own yourself, you’re just a temporary composite of various spirits. Ultimately, I believe that once you have actualized your Sahhu or “immortal golden lightbody” and attained whole body enlightenment, your reincarnation cycle comes to an end.
Lastly, the Hathors and ascended masters, and the powers of your Higher Self, the “soul body of your immortal golden lightbody,” in addition to ascension, whole body enlightenment and cosmic healing, can give you advice, protection, and guidance in your life. If you can, constantly feel the soul’s presence.Truth can only be known by EXPERIENCE, not by belief or thoughts.

The second book Return to Oneness with the Tao elaborates on the Taoist meditation and Qigong inner alchemy techniques such as lower dantien breathing, Microcosmic Orbit Qigong, primordial wuji Qigong, meditation on twin hearts, and Tibetan Shamanic Qigong to cultivate the Three Treasures Jing, Qi and Shen. An important addition to this book is the understanding of a most important principle – awareness and intention are powerful factors for personal transformation and healing. When we are aware of what is – the emotional root cause of disease that is blocking the flow of Qi – we can intentionally release it through meditation and Qigong to effect a process of change for personal transformation and healing.

According to Master Thoth, “unconditional love is a powerful magnetic force which, once activated through the hologram of love, makes you truly magnetic within every cell of your body. As a result, you begin to attract all you need to become a cosmic vibration of higher wisdom. If we could understand time and love together, Thoth said, we would have the answer.”

Soul Healing is not similar to Qigong healing. Qigong is energy healing. We go beyond energy. It’s Divine Healing Hands or Divine Soul Healing.

As an acupuncture detox specialist, I would like to address the alcohol and drug addiction problem in our community with relevant historical information on how it is treated from an acupuncture perspective as a much needed adjunctive natural therapy to the existing solution focused addictions counselling and self help groups (with harm reduction models) that we have now here in Vancouver.
The following information would also explain why acupuncture would be one alternative health service option as an available resource that could be integrated with the already established existing alcohol and drug program or counselling centers. Given the economic and social devastation of the current drug addiction problem here, however, we are perhaps well advised to consider it objectively, with an open mind and without prejudgement. Let me quote a Chinese proverb: “The methods used by one person may be faulty; the methods used by two people will be better.”
Almost 400 detoxification programs in the U.S. and Europe have been modelled after the one at Lincoln Hospital, New York City where psychiatrist Dr. Michael Smith and his staff treat 250 addicts a day with auricular acupuncture. The theory behind that practice holds that the entire body can be affected by stimulating points on the ear. Dr. Smith has observed that withdrawal symptoms and cravings abate within minutes of the treatment. Equally important says Smith, is a reduction in panic and hostility commonly seen in drug-treatment settings — changes that make addicts more amenable to counselling. “We’re not claiming that acupuncture is a magic bullet,” he points out. “We’re claiming it’s valuable in combination with counselling.”
In 1985, the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) was founded by clinicians who wanted to extend the example of Lincoln Hospital experience into other treatment settings. NADA sets standards of certification for acupuncture detox specialists that are widely accepted in the field of chemical dependency. I am one of the first NADA certified acupuncturists here in B.C. where acupuncture is a legalized primary health care profession.
In the U.S.A., chemical dependency professionals in both the private sector and the criminal justice system have taken a keen interest in the work done at Lincoln Hospital and other NADA affiliated programs. The introduction of an acupuncture component to an existing program provides a cost-efficient method for providing non-residential treatment to large numbers of drug dependent people, while increasing the effectiveness of existing services.
Regardless of the setting, and the substance abused, acupuncture treatment aids in patient detoxification. It does so by supporting the main organs of elimination in the body, speeding the body’s ability to rid itself of toxins.Treatment improves mental clarity and ability to focus. It also provides the patient with a sense of calmness and serenity. This creates a greater receptivity to the counselling process and decreased instances of clients’ “acting out”.
One of the non-criminal-justice speakers at the 1991 NADA conference was Robert Olander, Commissioner of Chemical Health for Hennepine County, Minnesota. He suggested that there have been three “benchmarks” in the history of alcohol and drug treatment in the United States, three things that have revolutionized the way we do alcohol and drug therapy: first was the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous in 1935; second was the development of pharmaceuticals in the late 1950s and early ’60s, and the third is acupuncture.
As shown in the epidemic of drug addiction related problems such as increased cases of HIV infections, increased criminal offenses and increased number of mental health dual diagnosis clients, traditional western chemical dependency treatment, unassisted, is a rather bleak landscape. Its proven effectiveness depends most upon clients remaining in treatment for a long time, and yet treatment drop-out is too often the norm. Some long term follow-up studies have found that even lenghty treatment stays ultimately produce low success rates.
There is a saying, “If the only tool you have is a hammer – you tend to treat the world like a nail.”
Help is needed, and acupuncture has much to offer.
Acupuncture, acupressure, massage, herbs, cannabis, chanting, prayer, meditation and Qigong work because these natural modalities stimulate the vagus nerve which has a calming healing effect for chronic diseases.

It is the Qi of the acupuncturist, not the needles alone,
that is most powerfully healing. — Ricardo B. Serrano, R.Ac.
Acupuncture, the ancient Chinese art of healing using fine disposable sterile needles to stimulate invisible lines of Qi energy running beneath the surface of the skin, has become a new primary health care profession in B.C. last June 21, 1999.
Generally, people say that treatments are not painful or cause only minimal discomfort when needles, which are ultra fine, are first inserted. Slowly, but surely, it is being absorbed into the mainstream of modern allopathic medicine, even though its philosophy could be bewildering to the modern Western trained physician. It is simple, safe, effective and cost-effective.
Traditional acupuncture has become synonymous with Chinese medicine, but in fact is only a small part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The first evidence of this system goes back 5,000 years, and the first classic extant treatise on TCM and acupuncture dates back to 300 BC – the Huangdi Neijing or The Yellow Emperor’s Classic on Internal Medicine. TCM which I practice is a superstructure of herbal therapy, acupuncture, moxibustion (application of heat from the burning of moxa wool over acupuncture points), cupping, acupressure, manipulation, diet, vital energy therapy (Qigong), breathing exercises, light therapy, psychotherapy and other approaches such as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) – all applied primarily in a preventative manner. See Qi-healing by intranasal light therapy, Acupuncture is helping coronavirus patients and Three ways to stimulate the vagus nerve
Whether acupuncture and other TCM therapies are effective is no longer a question. The only question is “How does acupuncture and other TCM therapies work?”
A more traditional explanation is that the body contains vital energy or Qi or prana which, when flowing smoothly over channels or meridians or energy centers (chakras) that run throughout the body, is expressed as health. Each of the 14 meridians pertains to a particular organ, such as the stomach, heart or large intestine. When the Qi or pranic energy is stagnant or blocked in the meridians or energy centers from physical, mental, emotional or spiritual causes of disharmony, or when there is an imbalance in the yin (female) and yang (male) forms of energy, then symptoms of ill health or disease are expressed. Acupuncture, moxibustion, herbs and vital energy therapy or Qigong (passing energy from the practitioner’s hand to a patient’s body with or without touching) with meditation and solution focused counselling clears up the blocked energy and rebalances, reintegrates, and reconnects the yin and yang to restore health. This explanation of how acupuncture and other TCM therapies effect change is perhaps weird or strange to Western ears but is closer to what actually happens.
Conditions that respond successfully in my over forty years of practice in acupuncture, acupressure, herbs and vital energy therapy (Qigong) include pain syndromes such as migraine headaches, low back and neck pain, neuralgias such as sciatica, trigeminal neuralgia, chronic arthritis and general anesthesia.
Other less obvious conditions that respond favorably to acupuncture and other TCM therapies in my practice are asthma and allergies, sexual dysfunction such as female infertility and impotence, digestive problems, emotional troubles such as anxiety and depression, insomnia, weight control (by decreasing appetite and increasing body’s metabolism), and elimination of addictions to food (which produces eating disorders), nicotine, alcohol, antidepressants and even harder drugs. See Auricular Therapy for Substance Abuse
Some modern day ailments that show promising outcomes under acupuncture and other TCM therapies include HIV+/AIDS, chronic fatigue syndrome, Chronic Epstein-Barr Virus (CEBV), hepatitis and other immune deficiency syndromes, as Cancer therapy or as an adjunct to chemotherapy or radiation for cancer patients, and repetitive strain injuries which can result from working on computers or assembly lines.
