A study of the therapeutic application of Yoga Prana Vidya healing protocols in successful facial healing

INTRODUCTION

Facial rejuvenation (FR) consists of treatment techniques that facilitates restoring the skin from any damage. FR encompasses a variety of aesthetic procedures aimed at restoring a youthful appearance to the face. Common methods include surgical and non-surgical methods.¹

The non-surgical processes of energy healing employing Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) system protocols is the hallmark of both the art and science of FR. This makes it safer than other applications that primarily employ invasive techniques.² A study by Neravetla et al has demonstrated the effectiveness of YPV healing of several participants in successfully rejuvenating in a single session.²

The integrated and holistic YPV system, as a complementary and alternative medicine, offers a range of thoroughly studied and proven methods for the efficient treatment of several illnesses and conditions. More than 125 research study articles, including both original and case studies, have been published, according to a survey of the research literature. These publications show how people with emotional, mental, and physical health issues can effectively heal and recover. These publications include, for example: YPV interventions for the treatment of challenging medical cases, diabetes management and control, heart artery block, improving patients' vision during an eye camp, treating asthma and high blood cholesterol, emergency and first aid cases, the speedy recuperation of COVID-19 patients, and hypothyroidism, anxiety and depression of corporate employees, enhancing the academic performance of high school children, improving psychological well-being and reduction of criminal attitude of under-trial prisoners, and improving social behaviour and cognitive abilities of mentally retarded children.^3-16

This study presents two cases of young male clients where YPV protocols were successfully applied in facial rejuvenation through multiple healing sessions. The authors confirm that the names of patients are withheld to conceal their identity.

CASE REPORT

Case 1

A young male of 30 years’ age, a student and resident of a city in northern India.

Pre-YPV medical condition of the patient

One day, he got a fever. Red rashes appeared all over his face and body. Gradually, these rashes became larger and filled with fluid. He was diagnosed having small pox, and the doctor prescribed some medicines. His treatment started with 15 days of medication. His fever subsided, and the rashes also healed. However, his face was left with deep dark spots, which troubled him a lot. He was stressed because of the spots. One day, he went to a YPV healer seeking help to treat these spots (Figure 1).

YPV healing intervention

His facial treatment began on 05 January 2023. The healer advised patient to practice rhythmic yogic breathing and forgiveness sadhana.

Details of the intervention include - YPV protocols used: psychotherapy, facial healing, removing stress energy from his system, and blessings after divine group healing daily.

Total number of healing sessions was 85 with 30 minutes per day session.

Client progress and results

After one month of healing, he reported that he was feeling better (Figure 2). In the following month, the dark spot faded. By the next month (Figure 3), the dark spots completely disappeared, and he was feeling good.

This client felt better in 3 months of continuous healing and the intervention ended on 05 April 2023.

Client final feedback

Patient was happy and adopted YPV practices in his daily routine. He learned YPV level 1 and level 2 and level 3 from the healer-trainer, and arhatic yoga from a senior trainer. He gave positive feedback for the healing. His healing experience was joyful and stress-free.

Present condition

The client’s present condition of face is very good and the changes were fully sustained.

Case 2

A young male aged 25, a student and resident of a city in northern India.

Pre-YPV medical condition of the patient

Patient had a scar on his right cheek of face since he was 10 years old, which made him very upset. He felt so self-conscious that he always hid his face with makeup, a mask, or a handkerchief whenever he went out. Despite trying various creams, treatments, and products, the scars never fully went away, causing him a lot of emotional distress. He even attempted suicide because of it. Also, his academic score was getting affected due to it. His father, desperate to help him, took him to various places for treatment, including a psychiatric center, but nothing worked. Their money, efforts and time all were getting wasted

YPV healing intervention

Having heard of YPV, he approached a YPV healer to do facial healing. The Healer started the YPV intervention on 25 April 2023. The Figure 2a shows the condition of his face skin at the beginning of healing.

The YPV healer applied the following YPV protocols: psychotherapy, facial healing, removing stress energy from his system, and blessings after divine group healing daily.

Total number of healing sessions was 75 with 30 minutes each session per day.

Client progress with response

The treatment involved YPV healing for over 3 months. Patient was instructed to practice YPV sadhana components of the mobile app daily which included specific practices like rhythmic yogic breathing, forgiveness sadhana, planetary peace meditation and physical exercises. He followed the instructions diligently.

After about a month, there was some improvement as in Figure 2b, but it took longer for noticeable changes. The patient was asked to take photos of his face to track progress. Initially, he messaged every day, eager for the treatment to start. After some days, he requested more powerful treatment, and gradually, he started seeing improvements. However, after a month, his father stopped the treatment as he saw improvement of more than 70%, but the patient asked to continue the healings as he understood that his condition could be healed completely.

Summarised results

By 18th June, the patient’s face showed significant improvement (Figure 2c). Even when he travelled to America, he continued the YPV healing treatment in distance mode. He sent photos regularly, and by 12 July, although his face was still a bit red, the improvement was visible. The treatment continued for another 20 days, and by 02 August, the redness was also completely healed (Figure 2d). The YPV Intervention ended on 04 August 2023.

Patient feedback

Patient was happy with the YPV therapy and even expressed interest in learning it by joining the YPV classes. A follow-up after a year and half revealed that his face showed sustained smoothness.

DISCUSSION

The findings of this study underscore the therapeutic potential of YPV healing protocols in facilitating facial healing and rejuvenation. Participants demonstrated visible improvements in facial glow, skin tone, and overall vitality within a few months of intervention, aligning with prior evidence that energy-based therapies can stimulate cellular regeneration and enhance skin quality without pharmacological or invasive procedures.²

YPV healing operates on the principle of energy modulation, wherein diseased or congested energy is removed and replaced with fresh pranic energy. This mechanism appears particularly effective in addressing facial concerns, as the face is a sensitive reflector of systemic and emotional health.¹⁷ The no-touch, no-drug nature of YPV also makes it a safe and accessible modality, especially for individuals seeking holistic alternatives to conventional dermatological treatments.

Moreover, the integration of YPV with lifestyle practices—such as breathing exercises, forgiveness sadhana, and meditation—may contribute to sustained improvements by reducing stress-induced dermal manifestations. This aligns with broader findings on YPV’s efficacy in treating skin ailments like folliculitis, warts, and allergies, suggesting its versatility across dermatological conditions.¹⁸

An observation of the two cases presented in this study shows that sustained non-invasive YPV healing for several months have enabled complete and permanent facial improvements. A previous study by Neravetla et al established that there was significant improvement of face condition and consistent results were obtained using YPV healing protocols from three different samples from three different locations at three different times. ² All these results show that YPV facial treatment is very effective and safe process.

CONCLUSION

While the immediate outcomes are promising, further longitudinal studies are warranted to evaluate the durability of facial healing effects and to explore the impact of repeated sessions. Controlled trials with larger sample sizes and standardized assessment tools would strengthen the evidence base and support clinical integration of YPV as a complementary therapy in aesthetic and dermatological care. YPV healing protocols have been established to be very helpful in successfully treating a variety of health conditions without any medications or surgical treatments. Further studies are recommended using appropriate samples and methodology.
