Introduction: Human beings are afflicted by various harmful addictions of substance and non-substance cravings.
Several behavioural therapies and medications are normally available for de-addiction and rehabilitation. Yoga
Prana Vidya (YPV) is an integrated and holistic system that consists of no-touch no-drug energy healing
protocols and simple to practice.This paper presents cases of various addictions successfully overcome using
YPV System Protocols.
Method: This paper uses case study method going through case papers and feedback reports from subjects
who had successfully overcome addictions using Yoga Prana Vidya system of protocols.
Results: An Indian sample of 30 documented cases shows that Yoga Prana Vidya healers applied YPV protocols
for de-addiction of these cases successfully, and the 7 subjects who could be followed up confirmed that they
successfully sustained the change. An in-depth case study of a subject in Australia healed by a YPV healer in
Australia shows that the subject cured completely of alcohol addiction after 2 weeks of YPV healing. Further to
it, this subject learnt YPV Level 1 healing and became a healer to continue healing himself and others as well.
Conclusion: YPV system is integrated and holistic, without touch or use of drugs. Decades of experience with
YPV practice shows that many types of physical, mental and emotional illnesses have been cured successfully.
YPV is easy to learn and simple to practice by all. Further research may be conducted on a larger sample of
varied conditions of addiction to gain broader insights into this phenomenon.

psychoactive substance abuse are alcohol,
tobacco and various drugs. Behavioural
addictions are similar to psychoactive
substance ingestion, producing short-term
reward with diminished control and contin-
ued substance dependence. This similarity has
given rise to the concept of nonsubstance
Addictions and Addictive behaviours: Addic-
tion is a chronic disorder with biological,
psychological, social and environmental
factors influencing its development
and maintenance. About half the risk for
addiction is genetic[1] Common examples of

of addiction including, but not limited to, food
addiction, alcohol addiction, and prescription
drug addiction. Not only can CBT help to
recognize unhealthy behavioural patterns, but
it can also help to learn to identify triggers
and develop coping skills. CBT can be combined
with other therapeutic techniques as well [5].
Medication can play an important role in
recovery when combined with behavioural
therapies. Certain medications can be used to
reduce cravings, improve mood, and decrease
addictive behaviours. For example, the US FDA
recently approved lofexidine to help reduce
cravings and withdrawal symptoms in patients
receiving treatment for opioid addiction.
Medications like acamprosate can help reduce
drinking behaviour [5].
Several government and international
agencies have considered community-based
treatment approaches for drug abuse as a
community problem. Thus, intervention
strategies would mean assisting communities
to adopt measures that would involve
community leaders and lead to community
empowerment. In-depth interaction with
several community members from all
socio-economic, age and gender groups is
needed. India, Nepal and Sri Lanka have
developed several projects on community-
based intervention, some of which are
ongoing. Most of these programmes have a
lesser emphasis on the medical approach,
focussing more on comprehensive psychoso-
cial methods. The activities include preven-
tion, education, health promotion and harm
reduction as well as abstinence-oriented treat-
ment methods [6].
Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) System: Decades of
field experience has established that YPV
system has been effective as complementary
and alternative medicine (CAM) in the treat-
ment of various diseases. Yoga Prana Vidya
System is a no-touch and a no-drug energy
healing modality which also works at a
distance and can cure many physical or
psychological problems. It is an integrated and
a holistic system which promotes happiness
and good health at physical, emotional
and mental levels using breathing, healing
techniques, meditation and yoga. In the
addictions or behavioural addictions[2].
The essential feature of behavioural addic-
tions is the failure to resist an impulse, drive,
or temptation to perform an act that is
harmful to the person or to others. Each
behavioural addiction is characterized by a
recurrent pattern of behaviour that has this
essential feature within a specific domain. The
repetitive engagement in these behaviours
ultimately interferes with functioning in other
domains[2].
Examples of some behavioural addictions are:
Problematic Internet use or “Internet addic-
tion encompassing a variety of online
behaviours such as gaming, gambling, social
networking, shopping, and sexual activities.
Compulsive sexual behaviour disorder is the
term proposed for a condition also known as
hypersexual disorder and sex addiction.
Compulsive buying refers to irresistible and
overwhelming urges to buy objects that are
unnecessary. Terms such as gadget, smart-
phone, Facebook, WhatsApp, and PUBG
addictions are in use and seen in clinical
practice.
Researchers have highlighted the core features
of addictions which include:[3]
a. Continued engagement in a particular
behaviour despite adverse consequences
b. Diminished self-control over engaging in the
said behaviour
c. Craving state before engaging in such
behaviour and
d. Compulsive engaging.
In India, the National Household Survey
reported alcohol (21.4%) as the primary
substance used followed by cannabis (3.0%)
and opioids (0.7%). The survey estimated that
more than one crore people in the country
were suffering from alcohol or drug depen-
dence.[4] SUDs (substance use disorders) are
associated with various health hazards which
place a heavy burden on public health systems
in terms of the prevention, treatment, and care
of SUDs and their health consequences[4].
Treatment options: According to American
Addiction Centres, Cognitive Behavioural
Therapy (CBT) is a valuable treatment tool
because it can be used for many different types

healing techniques, the healer removes the
diseased, dirty or the used-up energy from the
affected part or the affected chakrams and
entire aura of the patient and fills it up with
fresh energy. The main advantage of using
Yoga Prana Vidya healing techniques is, firstly
that the patient need not be physically present
in front of the healer as the healing can be
done from a distance, and secondly, it can cure
many psychological ailments too which are
emotional or mental in nature.
The energy body, also known as aura, of a
being interpenetrates and surrounds the
physical body, and it consists of an inner aura,
an outer aura and health rays connecting
these two. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the
energy body of a healthy person and sick
person respectively. The energy body consists
of chakrams (see figure 3) and “nadis(chan-
nels) for receiving and distributing the Pranic
energy, also known as life force. Figure 4 shows
the pictures of human aura taken using GDV
(Gas Discharge Visualisation) camera before
and after healing and corelates with images
in figures 1 and 2 respectively. Yoga Prana Vidya
system consists of self-practice modules such
as physical exercises, Rhythmic yogic
breathing, and meditation practices such as
forgiveness sadhana and Planetary Peace
Meditation. The healing process consists of
several basic and advanced techniques of
cleansing the chakrams and affected parts and
energizing the same for desired results.

that, by using Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) healing
techniques, many cases have been successfully

Addiction protocols used In YPV healing:For
all psychological healing the chakrams treated
are mainly the five Chakrams responsible for
emotional and mental bodies, that is, Heart,
Solar plexus, Throat, Ajna and Crown
chakrams. In case of an addiction, in addition
to the five chakrams, also to be treated are
the Secondary Throat chakram; cleansing the
Secondary Throat chakram using the Brilliant
Violet prana. The healer makes an intention
to remove all the negative entities, the
negative elementals, the addiction entities and
the addiction elementals. Energizes it with the
Brilliant Violet prana. Makes an intention to
seal all the cracks and holes in the web.
People with severe addictions like, drug
addiction, have holes and cracks even in the
chakrams of the ears, the Forehead chakram
and the Back Head minor chakram. Therefore,
they may have hallucination. They hear
strange sounds and see bizarre images. The
chakrams connected with auditory hallucina-
tion are the ear minor chakrams and the
Throat chakram. In case of visual hallucination,
the Ajna chakram, the Forehead chakram and
the Back Head minor chakram must be treated.
Sometimes the other minor chakrams in the
head may also be treated with the Brilliant
Violet prana, like, the Temple minor chakrams
and the Jaw minor chakrams. Furthermore, the
person is strengthened by treating the Navel
chakram, the Spleen chakram and the Basic
chakram. If these three chakrams are strength-
ened, the person will not be inclined towards
addiction tendencies. Then, cleansing the
Mengmein chakram is done after treating
these chakrams.
This paper presents,(1) a summary of a sample
of 30 addiction cases healed by YPV healers at
different times and, (2) a detailed recent case
study of one youth with alcohol addiction, who
had successfully overcome using YPV interven-
tion by a healer, and sustained the change
which he confirmed after a two month follow
up.
METHOD
CASE SERIES REPORT
(1) Sample of 30 de-addiction cases using YPV
therapeutic healing
From the documented data of YPV archives, 30
cases of addiction handled with successful and
sustained results are given in Table 1.
From the above analysis it is observed that the
4 adolescents had gadget/smart phone addic-
tion, which is very much prevalent in modern
times. Most of the male youth, middle and se-
niors had drinking and smoking as main issue
of addiction. In case of female sample, the ad-
diction issues reported were food related, sleep-
ing pill use, and phone addiction. Only one fe-
male sample of the middle age category reported
drinking addiction. One male sample reported
addiction to movies.
Out of these 30 cases, 7 reachable cases have
been followed up to ascertain how they are
sustaining the abstention from the addiction
for which healing therapy was given by YPV
healers. The respondents confirmed that they
gave up the addictive habit completely and
also continue to practicing YPV practice mod-
ules.
(2) One in-depth Case study
The subject is a 28 years aged male youth, a
person of Indian origin working as a security
professional and living in Australia.
Medical history before YPV healing:The issue
of excessive alcohol drinking by the subject
started during October2019. Before that, he
used to drink occasionally, i.e., 1-2 days a week.
But when COVID hit the lives, he started drink-
ing 4-5 days in a week.The subject could
not go to office during COVID, he could not
go to do his job and was at home most
of the time, which resulted in drinking
4-5 days a week.Other issues faced by him

were, depression- like symptoms because of
excessive drinking and isolation in COVID.
Typical Symptoms of the subject and conse-
quential affects: Whole body: blackout,
dizziness, shakiness, craving, sweating
Behavioural: aggression, agitation, compulsive
behaviour, self-destructive behaviour, lack of
restraint
Mood: anxiety, euphoria, general discontent,
guilt, loneliness
Gastrointestinal: nausea, vomiting
Social life:The subject faced severe issues on
the social front. He used to experience
mental blackout because of excessive drink-
ing. He could not remember what he did the
previous night and how he managed to reach
home. He was unwelcoming to his friends,
because of excessive drinking in a social
function, the subject would not behave
appropriately. Some of his friends would take
advantage of him due to his addiction. The
worst situation was drunken driving and
paying multiple infringements, like jumping
traffic lights and over-speeding, putting his own
life and others’ lives in danger.He tried joining
AA (alcoholics anonymous) and tried going to a
therapist as well, but could not sustain the
change to de-addict himself.
YPV intervention: The YPV healer was a level
1 trainer based in Melbourne, Australia
during the course of healing.
The subject’s friend was doing level 1 class
under this trainer and the subject’s friend
persuaded the subject join the class for
forgiveness and he came in the class, did the
forgivenes ssadhana. He told his friend “I am
very calm in this time so I want to talk to
healer. The second day he called the healer
and after two days he came and told about his
alcohol addiction, and sought guidance,
because he knew that alcohol drinking is very
harmful for his body.
The YPV healer healed the subject for 5 days,
and after that the subject got good results. He
decided to do the ypv level 1 class within those
5 days of healing.
The healer started YPV healing from 01 March,
2022. The healer did YPV psychotherapy which
made him emotionally balanced and reduced
his craving towards alcohol consumption day
by day. Internal organs protocol was practiced
so that effect of alcohol consumption on his
organs is minimised and organs are cleansed
and regenerated. (30 minutes daily healing)
Using the protocols of YPV psychotherapy for
addiction and internal organs, the healer was
healing twice daily for 10 Days.
Table 2 below shows subject’s progress vis-à-
vis given healing session.
Table 1: Sample cases of de-addiction: 2014 to 2022.
The subject started regular practice of Rhyth-
mic yogic breathing twice daily and also
Forgiveness Sadhana, salt water bath and PPM.
There were positive changes in his life as
aresult of learning YPV and practicing regularly.
He completed YPV level 1 trainingand became
a YPV healer. His motivation was to heal
himself and to understand the energy in all
living beings, so that he could heal others too.

DISCUSSION
A good de-addiction programme should
consist of activities including prevention,
education, health promotion and harm reduc-
tion as well as abstinence-oriented treatment
methods. [6]. In this regard, Yoga Prana Vidya
(YPV) healing protocols, as shown in this case
study, have been established to work
effectively for the subjects afflicted by harm-
ful addictions of various kinds. A 2021 study
by Junyue et al. regarding the use of Comple-
mentary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) for
de-addiction, a total of 3,807 publications
were reviewed. The USA, China, and England
were the leading research centres on this
topic, and India and Pakistan have recently
focused on assessing CAM for the treatment
of SUDs (substance use disorders). The most
common CAM therapies were acupuncture
and CAM psychotherapies, such as mindful-
ness meditation.CAM is gaining attention
globally for treating SUDs. [23].
CONCLUSION
published literature. YPV psychotherapy and YPV
healing in the use of SUDs deserves
further study. Researchers should be encouraged
to focus in this field for scientifically
designed studies on appropriate sample which
will be very helpful for people globally.
YPV as integrated and holistic system
of treatment of a variety of health conditions
has become popular as is evident from several
