Looking for a natural solution to physical or emotional pain? PANKAJ GUPTA, an engineer turned healer, just might have the answers you’re looking for.

Tapping Into Your Energy

As a child growing up in Delhi, Pankaj started experiencing constant knee pain and debilitating migraines around age 10, visiting doctor after doctor, only to leave time and again without solutions. By 20, he was living in the US with a back injury added to the mix, and popping Tylenol continuously. This pain, paired with pressures of an engineering major and supporting himself financially, took its toll. Back in India a few years later, a frustrated Pankaj was willing to try anything, even non-traditional healing practices.

“When I heard about alternative and energy healing I was extremely sceptical, but I was desperate,” he says. Three minutes into his first energy healing session, Pankaj’s long-standing knee pain was 90 percent gone – even now, the pain hasn’t returned 19 years later. “I couldn’t believe it. My whole life I was running around looking for a solution, and it was there within me. That three-minute experience taught me that you don’t have to suffer, no matter what the problem,” he says. After Pankaj inquired about the “bizarre” tapping method performed, he found himself at a training workshop in 1999; that’s when his journey into “Energy Medicine” began.

Studying all he could about energy healing, Pankaj began healing anyone who was willing to be helped. By 2007 he’d moved away from his existing businesses to heal professionally in India. Within three years he had an international practice – thanks entirely to word of mouth – which included Skype sessions and workshops around the world.

Now based exclusively in Singapore, Pankaj uses Rebirthing Breathwork, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) often called “tapping”, and other healing and diagnostic tools to help his clients resolve both physical and emotional issues – from chronic aches to troubled relationships to phobias.
