INTRODUCTION

Medical surveys show that almost 70- 90% of Malaysian population suffers from a lower back pain episode at least once in their life-time. Out of this, only 10% ever attains a full recovery from lower back pain while the rest progresses into a chronic recurring back pain category. This category of people is highly dependent on muscle relaxants and pain killers for the rest of their lives without having a proper relieve for their back pain. Despite prolonged use of medication, people with lower back pain often suffer from exacerbation of symptoms frequently compromising on life quality. Many productive hours and quality life time are wasted due to under management of back pain.

This will help you feel better as you learn to manage your medical conditions and continue to enjoy the good things in life while continuing your medical treatments, diet restrictions, and etc.

MALAYSIAN HEALTH CARE GUIDELINE

“Despite all our efforts and skills for all our resources, disability stemming from back pain, especially lower back pain is getting steadily worse. The classic bio-medical model used by mainstream healthcare to treat back pain is unable to deliver cure to the patients.

The bio-psycho-social model addresses a more holistic approach to pain. It recognizes that pain does not only have biological components but also includes psychological, social and cultural influences which interact in the causation, maintenance and exacerbation of the disease. In this model, mind and body are seen as automatically intertwined rather than separated (as in biomedical model).

Using this model, the effective management of acute and chronic back pain involves not only addressing the medical or physical aspects of pain but also the psychological (mental/emotional/behavioral) and socio-cultural aspects. Passive physiotherapy alone is inappropriate and only gives short term relieve. Patients must actively participate in finding relieve for their back pain by having a daily routine to reap benefits.”

TESTIMONIALS

During the Manipuraka session initiated by Master Mani, I felt my body is lifting up, arms going to fly, a lot of energy inside the navel and spine, like a volcano inside. I naturally want to bend backward into Chakrasana (wheel pose) and move with the energy within the 4 to 5 days right after the Manipuraka, I’ve got nice sensations at the Trikuti (center of the eyebrows) and so much living in the present that time. It’s just beyond what I could comprehend.

Marina Borodina

I’m surprised that my body flow into asanas (postures), mudras (hand gestures) and hands drawing yantras spontaneously and naturally…the movement of energy is just amazing.

Navanesan

It’s really amazing and my energy flows nicely leading to various gestures and body movements that never happen in my life before. I feel fresh and all my strained muscles are healed after doing Manipuraka, my energy level has increased and had a much better sense of awareness and alertness where I am now able to notice things that I have never noticed before. Manipuraka, it works!

Priya Tee

What really impresses me is the energy I experience can heal myself and others.

Kelly Gee

My mother felt relieved when I performed Universal Yoga Healing for her leg pain. I feel more in tune with myself, more positive and my intuition has sharpened as I observe my daily activities…

Peggy Chan

YP, our 2 months old puppy, was very sick and hadn’t eaten for 2 days. Not knowing what else to do, as the vet clinic was closed, I tried Universal Yoga Healing on the weak, motionless pup. To our great surprise, the pup got up and walked over to his bowl to feed! The funny part was Tanesh, my son exclaimed, ‘Look…Amah made some magic on YP!’ now YP is growing healthily.

Meera Nathan

It was amazing for me to experience immediate relief from neck pain during the Manipuraka workshop practical and I am now fully cured of cervical spondylosis!

Nisha Chang

Manipuraka deepened my understanding of universal energy (chi or prana). I experienced self healing and can feel the flow of universal energy through me when healing other. It’s very positive.

Sharon Loo

I found myself moving gracefully from simple warm-ups to Tai Chi steps, follwed by a series of classic hand gestures, of which I had no previous experience. The movements were spontaneous and the rhythm varied and sometimes paused. I was awashed by feelings of peace and being loved.

Pavani Tuladhar

After practising Manipuraka & UniYoga Healing, I am relieved of my chronic backache.

Melissa Chan

The Manipuraka workshop is testament to how it is important to learn and know our own body. When we speak to our body, it listens and becomes one with us. That is how I perceive Manipuraka. It is also not too complicated to follow the movements which is good . I had a very pleasant experience and thankful for it. The world needs more positive healing energy.

Usha

Manipuraka workshop was awesome! It made me realize how we are all energy beings and that the universe is ready to guide and support us at all times. It was a great moment when I got to experience myself being moved by the energy around, me without any effort.
Urdhva Retas made me realize how intelligent human beings are but how sad these types of teachings were limited to a certain category of people alone. Huge thanks to MAYI and of course Master Manisekaran, for exposing us to these essential techniques needed for human beings to evolve and help one another in this world that we share. Such simple practice with a huge impact. I’m excited to see what changes would happen within and around me with consistent and persistent practices.
