Dear All,
My name is Vrushali Deshpande, Chartered Accountant by qualification.

Dear All,
My name is Vrushali Deshpande, Chartered Accountant by qualification. My life was content and I was happy until June 2015 when I lost my house due to a structural damage to the building. Suddenly I was homeless …something which I just could not accept mentally. I moved to a rented house but every single day I prayed to buy a house and stay in my owned house. Somehow things were not happening and I was always mentally disturbed. On 30th May 2020, my friend told me that there is online class conducted by Life & Breath and you join it the session is starting from tomorrow. I did not question further and enrolled as those were lock down days and doing the course was possible for me.
I learned the breathing exercises including the mirror exercise. there was something very fascinating about the mirror exercise to me. After the regular breathing exercises I religiously did the mirror exercise. Day by day I started feeling more confident about myself. The situations around me were the same , I had the same qualification , the same job , stayed with the same family, however something within me was changing. Something the Universe was manifesting for me.
Everyday as I would tell the creative energy in me that it could do whatever I was wanting to do I felt a strange positivity, confidence and happiness within me. And there the everyday dream of buying my own house was getting conveyed to the universe with the dreaming with open eyes with the mirror exercise. Just in 6 months I could buy my own house. Not only the house but many of my small wishes like learning a foreign language , getting back to my singing, reading books also are getting realized. I truly feel that I have discovered the new power for which there is nothing that is Impossible.
I sincerely thank Pratibimb Chartiable Trust for helping me learn this science and for guiding me throughout.
Sincere and diligent practice of all the breathing exercises and mirror exercise is a Life changer, it is a miracle , it is the blessing of the Universe.
Gratitude, Thank you.

Participating in the Course in Life & Breath offered by Pratibimb Charitable Trust has been a truly transformative experience for me.

Abhishek Punjabi on how Life and Breath conquered lifestyle issues

These daily guided sessions have brought discipline, energy, and a new vibrancy into my life something I couldn’t achieve on my own. If you’re struggling to practice regularly, give it a try and experience the change.

I spent years knowing this science but never staying consistent until I committed to a no-excuse 6 AM practice. What followed was discipline, higher energy, and a complete shift in my daily mindset.

In my case, I have been in this science since years now but was never regular with practice. Finding excuses to not do it felt like the simplest thing to do and might quite natural for most of us! Last month i decided to just start with the 6 am practice and not try to analyse when and how I will do it. NO excuses or over analysis! I wouldn't say i have had 100 percent attendance but have managed to attend most of it which is a good start. Initially the most challenging thing will always be to wake up on time. And the precedent to that challenge is to sleep on time! Over a few weeks this becomes a non-issue though as your body adjusts to it. Nowadays, i wake up before the alarm as well without feeling groggy. So if anyone feels that is a challenge, do give it a try for a few weeks atleast. I used to practice by myself periodically but it's a completely different (and better) experience with guided practice. When practicing by yourself, it's very easy to take shortcuts such as doing lesser rounds of an exercise, taking smaller breaths or picking up your mobile during sets. For example, in the duration that sir does 1 inhale and exhale in memory developing breath, I would have done 3. Guided practice forces you to do it correctly and without any distraction. Overall, I would highly recommend that you give guided practice a shot for a few weeks atleast so that it starts becoming a habit. In terms of benefits, I would say the following 1) Getting up and doing something consistently inculcates discipline. It's not exactly easy at the beginning and more of mind over body but getting over that hurdle helps to believe in yourself for other aspects of your life as well. 2) Focussed breathing for an hour in the morning makes you more conscious of your breathing style throughout the day. I subconsciously focus on my breath during the day as well even when I'm doing other things. 3) Higher and consistent energy levels throughout the day. 4) General sense of well being and happy state of mind. Do give it a shot and experience the benefits yourself to get convinced to continue.

During today’s session, a throat constriction I thought needed an inhaler completely disappeared and I even uncovered the negative thought causing it. Grateful to the teachers for this powerful experience.

A beautifully planned two-day Life & Breath program that left us deeply inspired and energized. The breathwork demos and hands-on practice were truly exceptional.

A truly enriching Life & Breath program that helped us understand pranayam and meditation on a deeper level. Even two days felt too short for such powerful learning.

I get my eyes examined every year once and am happy to share the glaucoma stage is the same since 2021.

My TSH level has drastically reduced by diligently practicing the breathing exercises and join the 6 a.m. morning practice sessions.

The Pratibimb “Life & Breath” course is clearly making a real difference for everyone.

I recently completed the Life and Breath course. After following the course, along with regular practice of breathing exercises and meditation,

I am indebted to this Noble Science. The breathing exercises along with the Affirmations have given me great

I recently attended a three day abridged course on “Life and Breath “organised by Pratibimb Charitable Trust.

Dear friends
I wish to write about this LIFECHANGING course and The wonderful Guru we have

Dear friends I wish to write about this LIFECHANGING course and The wonderful Guru we have the Opportunity to be taught by and meeting Gracious Usha Ma’am the epitome of generosity and dedication , I felt greatly overwhelmed. I joined Life and Breath and frankly when I began attending classes in the Bhaktivedanta Hall I was totally clueless though each aspect of the course appealed to me I could not APPLY my mind to get into the THINK-FEEL-ACT mode which Sir would constantly remind us about. It took me a long time and several repeats of the basic Course till I realised how beneficial it all is. That was me and my Mental blocks which I had developed and had a resistance to learning the AFFIRMATIONS. Slowly on realising the BENEFITS by mere exercises I began learning and repeating the Affirmations. Feeling their effect. Feeling their benefits on my emotional and mental well being.
I felt relieved and felt I was being Healed. My inhalers were discarded My anxiety levels decreased and inwardly I began feeling an inward calm by maintaining consistency and commitment in practice. I hope we all are aware of the huge benefit of attending the online classes. We are blessed manifold that we have the teachings right beside us. What more could we want? Practise classes are being literally poured into our laps. We cannot express enough Gratitude to the most reliable team full of generosity and integrity. Repeatedly offering this opportunity to All of us.
Do take what is being given so freely. No, I feel one should grab the chance to be able to practice and gain the immense benefits. I have learnt a lot. I am Still learning and still have a long learning road ahead. There could be pitfalls that take a person away from PRACTICE. But PLEASE make the Concerted effort to keep learning and Keep Practising. YOU WILL SURELY BENEFIT. My 7 odd decades of experience of Life ensure the belief that by following these teachings instead of reaching for medication YOU will thrive by Meditation. And be Spiritually enlightened also.
Wishing everyone All that is Good. Thanking you

I am Chartered Accountant by qualification. My Engineer brother, my son and I are whole time Directors running medium scale industries near Mumbai.

I am Chartered Accountant by qualification. My Engineer brother, my son and I are whole time Directors running medium scale industries near Mumbai. I was introduced to Life & Breath course around 5 years ago and since then it has taken over my life. I did Life & Breath basic course, then the Advanced course in 2017 & 2018 and again basic course twice and am doing Advanced course online again. Personally I found understanding of this science only after attending the basic course for the 3rd time. It takes time for it to sink in and change the thinking pattern. The biggest impact this course has had is on my mind. This course has had a tremendous impact on my understanding of life, on understanding human mind, the human behaviour, why people behave the way they do, why things happen and how we should accept things. Proper understanding of basic laws of Living brings awareness but it is the application of this understanding that brings lasting benefits. What I have lost is anger, frustration, nervousness, giving less importance to materialistic values and what I have gained is better understanding, overall better health, self-discipline to some extent, calmness and no visits to the Doctor in recent years. Mind is the key to happiness and this gets imbibed firmly. After doing this course, I look happy, I feel happy, I am happy and happiness is what we need most. The meditation part is extraordinarily calming and immensely effective. The feeling of well-being pervades over all other feelings. Before doing this course, the focus of business was legal compliance while earning. After doing this course, the focus is as much on giving as on earning. The Principles of Cause & Effect, Give & take, Reason & Results applied even to business administration brings positive outcomes. I feel that application of Principles taught in this course, has brought recognition to our business, it being classified among top 100 MSMEs of India twice in as many years. The benefits to physical and mental health, the wisdom gained in understanding life that we are actually Divine beings in Human form is a Principle that one needs to practice all the time. This science can be the panacea that the world is looking for, for most of its illnesses of hatred, greed, avarice, jealousy, anger and can help spread Love and understanding in the individual, in society, across communities and across countries. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to everyone. To my knowledge no one has ever regretted having done this course.
