I started having seizures about 15 years ago.

Although the doctors suspected that I had had them most my life, I was unaware of it.

The seizures kept impacting my life.

When one happened, I couldn't drive for six months afterwards, and had to take time off work and life.

I got so tired and felt better only when I remained lying down.

The medication kept increasing and was getting up to 8 pills a day.

One of the side effects of this medication was severe drowsiness, so it just added to the intensity of my already existing tiredness from my poor health.

Just before I went to the Inner Awakening program, my neurologist wanted to increase my medication again, saying that my current dosage was probably not strong enough to stop the seizures.

I went to Inner Awakening Program in 2009.

During darshan one day, I requested Swamiji for healing for my seizures.

While healing me, Swamiji said that the healing will happen gradually.

He assured me that I would come down to a very low dosage of medication and the seizures would not happen, or only very minor ones that wouldn't even affect me.

That was the truth. I haven't had a seizure since!

And now, I am down to 2 pills a day, and I feel amazing!

I am so grateful to Swamiji for giving my life back to me.
