Response from Jasmuheen at the Embassy of Peace re the 2011 death of a Swiss woman associated with the living on light breatharian process and the movie "In the Beginning There Was Light".

Firstly we wish again to express our sincere condolences to the families of the four people who have died over the last 19 years in association with this. Regardless of the facts around how and why each death occurred, to lose a well loved friend or family member is extremely sad for all concerned.

Perhaps in a perfect world we would not lose our loved ones or the hundreds of thousands of children and adults who die each year from both hunger related and obesity related diseases. Nor would we lose the many who die each year from suicide, disease, medical malpractice and/or medical misdiagnosis. Research into solutions for all of this is ongoing in many fields including  our own at the Embassy of Peace.

Until solutions can be found and until this perfect world can be created we all must deal with these issues every day.

I recognize that many in our media and society are still not educated into the full understanding of this alternative stream of nourishment called Prana as while it is well known in India it is still relatively unknown in the west. However as can be seen in the well made insightful and educational documentary "In the Beginning There Was Light" by Austrian filmmaker P.A. Straubringer, there are now many people from all walks of life and spiritual beliefs who have safely developed this unusual ability. For example the Russian breatharian Zinaida Baranova, Indian yogi Prahlad Jani, the Swiss biochemist Dr Michael Verner, the well known Solar Gazer Hira Ratan Manek who has been involved in extensive medical research, myself, plus countless Qigong practitioners as shown in the movie.

In this movie the list of doctors and scientists involved in assessing this phenomena is impressive.

IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS LIGHT:- Screened at Cannes Film Festival in the South of France in 2010, this documentary has also been shown in major movie cinemas globally. Filmed over a 6 year period, this documentary shows the quantum aspects of living on prana and has many detailed interviews with people such as:- Dieter Hochegger, Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Marktl, Prof. Dr. Anton Luger, Univ. Doz. Dr. Ingrid Kiefer, Dr. Ruediger Dahlke, Jasmuheen, Walter „Omsa“ Rohrmoser, Dr. Michael Werner, Mataji Prahlad Jani, Dr. Sudhir Shah, Dr. V.N. Shah, Dr. Urmann Ohruv, Dr. Sanjay Metha, Hira Ratan Manek, Yuan Limin, You Xuande, Dr. TCM Qi Duan Li, Prof Dr. Gernot Pauser, Zinaida Baranova, Prof. Dr. Gerhard Hacker, Prof. Dr. Fritz-Albert Popp, PhD Dean Radin, Prof. Dr. Brian Josephson, Prof. Dr. Amit Goswani, Prof. Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, Dr. Jakob Bösch, Prof. Dr. Robert Jahn.

All those who are able to live on Prana as a physical body source of nourishment are involved in their own way in creating a world that uses resources more wisely while also researching their own human potential. While our methods may seem unconventional they are still valid as we seek to find alternate ways of nourishing our world.

In our book The Prana Program, we shared that my role with this was as follows:-

1. Discover The Prana Program’s gifts and live it all experientially thus proving to myself beyond a doubt its infinite possibilities as outlined in all of our books. 

2. Research all that I could on the subject, write about it and offer my research to the world in a pragmatic and simple way as possible. This included researching and simplifying data in the ancient and hidden mystery schools, and personally undergoing various training.

3. Be a bridge regarding The Prana Program between the eastern understanding, and my own experience of prana, and introduce the benefits of increasing the pranic flow as widely as possible to the West.

4. Find and support other proponents of this – Hira Ratan Manek, Zinaida Baranova, the Bigu states in the Qigong networks –and introduce their methodologies through our networks.

5. Be a media spokesperson for The Prana Program and via holistic education principles utilize the media to anchor The Prana Program reality in the morphogenetic field.

6. Set up communications systems to share our research en mass as per my constant touring, books and websites.

7. Introduce The Prana Program and its benefits through political networks, and formulate an effective program to combine and share our research with existing aid and resource redistribution programs via the United Nations and others.

Over the last decade we have achieved points 1 to 7 and have been well supported in so many ways. It was not my role to give a year or two of my time – as Hira Ratan Manek the solar gazer has done – to personally be involved with extensive medical and scientific testing. Yet it has been my role to act as a reporter and share the results of Hira’s testing which has essentially proven the same thing – that a person can access enough prana, as an alternate form of nourishment so that they are free from the need to take physical food.

Despite all of this since the late 1990's I have been discouraging people in using the 21 day process as while thousands have safely utilized this deeply spiritual initiation, it has proven dangerous for those unprepared  and to some who have chosen not to follow the guidelines in our Living on Light book (also called Pranic Nourishment.)

Over the years we have developed a safer, slower method to experience and access this ancient yogic alternative stream of nourishment so that the people of our world have more freedom of choice. This safe method is outlined in our book The Food of Gods and it must be noted that this is a spiritual journey and not a diet. People who stop eating food will die unless they have tuned themselves via their lifestyle to the Prana channels.

Our research manual "The Prana Program" provides a potential solution to world hunger.

Facts – Food for Thought - our world:-

From Poverty.com website:- About 25,000 people die every day of hunger or hunger-related causes, according to the United Nations.

Think Quest data: -

In the Asian, African and Latin American countries, well over 500 million people are living in what the World Bank has called “absolute poverty”;

Every year 15 million children die of hunger;

For the price of one missile, a school full of hungry children could eat lunch every day for 5 years;

Throughout the 1990′s more than 100 million children died from illness and starvation. Those 100 million deaths could be prevented for the price of ten Stealth bombers, or what the world spends on its military in two days!

The World Health Organization estimates that one-third of the world is well-fed, one-third is under-fed one-third is starving. One in twelve people worldwide is malnourished, including 160 million children under the age of 5.

Hunger in Global Economy; Nearly one in four people, 1.3 billion – a majority of humanity – live on less than $1 per day, while the world’s 358 billionaires have assets exceeding the combined annual incomes of countries with 45 percent of the world’s people.

UNICEF; 3 billion people in the world today struggle to survive on US$2/day;

In the U.S. hunger and race are related. In 1991 46% of African-American children were chronically hungry, and 40% of Latino children were chronically hungry compared to 16% of white children;

One out of every eight children under the age of twelve in the U.S. goes to bed hungry every night; Half of all children under five years of age in South Asia and one third of those in sub-Saharan Africa are malnourished;

To satisfy the world’s sanitation and food requirements would cost only US$13 billion- what the people of the United States and the European Union spend on perfume each year.

In light of all that we have just stated, we invite the global media to publish this response in entirety rather than promote sensationalism via misinformation regarding this unusual lifestyle that more than 40,000 have successfully  chosen thus freeing themselves on dependence on global food resources.

Due to the many benefits this research provides especially its impact on our environment, on global warming, plus our more efficient resource usage and the marked improvement on health and happiness levels (that come to all who increase their chi or Prana levels) our research into this field will continue. In the long term we trust our responsible education programs into how this is possible will be supported by the media so that the global benefits we envisage can come to pass. Remember we once believed that the earth was flat and just because we may not understand how something can be possible does not mean it isn't.

Due to the fact I am now traveling with the work of The Embassy of Peace, I will be unavailable to the media for further commentary on this matter.
