Moments with Mohan Makkar
Dr. Mohan Makkar is a trained Reiki Master who practises and teaches this alternate healing therapy. He strongly believes in the benefits of Reiki and according to him it is a means to improve health and well being by attuning the spiritual, emotional and physical being. He was recently decorated with a doctorate degree for his works in Reiki by the University of Alternate Therapies, Calcutta. Dr Makkar who is engaged in spreading the awareness of this healing threapy, takes pleasure in sharing his knowledge with TeleLIFE readers. Ten years ago, Dr. Mohan Makkar wasn't the same man. Practising alternate therapies has brought tremendous changes in his life, he recalls, "I was an introvert who would answer to only the questions asked to me and preferred being away from people. I was neither contented nor had any goal in life." It may be hard to believe, but he claims that this healing therapy has changed his perception of life and made him an extrovert. Dr. Makkar serves people with his 'healing touch'. He diagnoses and also prescribes remedies, but as a service to people. "God has given me this gift of healing and it is my duty to serve the people." With about 2485 techniques of alternate therapies evolved in the past century, Dr Makkar has developed new techniques and also engaged in curing some believably incurable diseases such as Rheumothoid, Arthritis, IBS Syndrome, Paralysis etc. cancer, brittle bones, AIDS, etc. How did it all start? "One day my wife came up to me and told me to attend a seminar on mind control on her behalf, for which she had enrolled. So I attended it and that's how it all started." He learned the technique and started healing people. No sooner he realised that there was something missing or something was going wrong somewhere. "My personal life was in shambles. I was not able to fulfil my duties as a father and husband and there were tensions flaring up in the house. In fact it came to a juncture, where I had to choose between the service and the family. And I had almost chosen the former, when I was introduced to Reiki. I learnt Reiki from a professional and qualified Reiki teacher, and it helped to come up with my own techniques. It gave me faster and more successful results." Today he practices and preaches alternate healing techniques across the Middle East. He conducts classes and heals people along with his students. "Dr. Makkar explains that people who experience Reiki go through less pain and stress, as they become more in tune with their "selves," and gain an understanding of what is truly meaningful in life. Reiki has a calming effect on people, which usually lessens and sometimes eliminates pain and turmoil from their lives. Dr. Makkar specialises in over 20 techniques such as Colour, Crystal, Candle, Pendulum, Pranic, Magnetic, Sanjeevni, Hypnotic therapy, Metaphysical, Visualisation to name a few. He teaches Reiki by conducting classes regularly in Dubai and holding seminars all around Middle East. His wife and daughters are also his students and practice along with him. Though he does healing as a service, there are fees associated with classes. "I believe that learning is performed with more interest, dedication and devotion when a fee is paid. I have had bitter experiences with people when I was teaching them for free. They would attend classes without any interest, snatching away my valuable time." So being a healer, what changes did it have on him? Plenty, it seems. He has quit drinking alcohol and has turned a vegetarian, which, he believes, has made him more interactive. He elaborates, "One of the masters from whom I learnt some techniques, asked me, "what is the purpose of eating animals which have only 5 senses, while we have 6?" and this triggered a thought in me and eventually, I gave up non-vegetarian food. Most importantly, I would say, Reiki has opened me up which helped me to have a better outlook on my life." Dr. Mohan Makkar recommends professional medical treatment for all diseases, as alternate healing is only complementary for the medical treatment. He reiterates, "Reiki is one of the many alternative methods of healing that cleanses your mind, body and soul and thus accelerate your healing process and improve your wellbeing."
