HEALER:
Namaste, Professor.
PROFESSOR (sighs deeply):
Namaste…
I’m tired.
Not just physically.
But something deeper.
HEALER:
You’ve carried a heavy weight for many years.
Insulin, pills, fear… and yet no reversal.
PROFESSOR:
Yes.
Every day I inject insulin, take sleeping pills, teach students… and fear I won’t live to see my daughter graduate or my son become a man.
HEALER:
That fear is not just emotional.
It becomes physical.
It shapes the body, weakens the immune fire.
But you’re here now.
That means something in you has awakened.
PROFESSOR (softly):
Yes.
I want to heal — not just manage — but truly reverse this.
I’m willing to do whatever it takes.
The Foundation: A Return to the Five Pillars
HEALER:
Beautiful.
Then let’s return to the ancient roots of healing — the five pillars:
Aahar,
Vihar,
Yoga,
Aushad, and
Minimalism.
Healing happens when these come into harmony.
1. AAHAR — Food as Sacred Nourishment
HEALER:
Diabetes thrives on artificial, tamasic food — food without prana.
For the next 40 days, eat only food that grows from the earth, sees the sun, and can rot.
Whole grains like millets
Cooked vegetables
Sprouts, nuts, and soaked seeds
Bitter herbs like methi, neem, karela
No sugar, no white flour, no processed snacks
PROFESSOR:
That’s a big change… but it feels right.
HEALER:
This is not a punishment.
It is a return — to nature, to taste, to clarity.
2. VIHAR — Lifestyle That Aligns With Nature
HEALER:
Your life has been against the rhythm of the body — late nights, constant thinking, little rest.
That’s vihar imbalance.
We will shift your lifestyle gently:
Wake up by sunrise.
See natural light within 30 minutes.
No screens 1 hour before bed.
Spend 30 minutes daily without any purpose — sit, walk, breathe.
Weekly family time with your children — no devices, just presence.
PROFESSOR:
I’ve been running on auto-pilot.
This… this feels like a breath of air.
HEALER:
Vihar is about space — in the day, and in the heart.
3. YOGA — Aligning Body, Breath and Mind
HEALER:
We will not treat you like a disease.
We will awaken the inner intelligence of your body through yoga:
Start each day with 5 rounds of Surya Namaskar, slowly
Pranayama: Anulom Vilom & Bhramari for 10 minutes
Yoga Nidra at night — to replace sleeping pills
PROFESSOR:
Can I do this at home?
HEALER:
Absolutely.
These are simple, sacred acts of self-connection.
4. AUSHAD — Gentle Natural Medicines
HEALER: Nature has provided gentle aushadhi for balancing blood sugar and calming the nerves.
We will start with:
Methi seeds soaked overnight — chew in morning
Neem leaf powder — 1 tsp with warm water
Ashwagandha at night — to help your sleep
Gradually, with your doctor's awareness, we will reduce synthetic meds
PROFESSOR:
So I don’t stop insulin immediately?
HEALER:
No.
We respect the journey.
As your inner system strengthens, outer supports will drop away naturally.
5. MINIMALISM — Releasing What We Don’t Need
HEALER:
Your mind is crowded — with deadlines, fears, what-ifs.
Healing begins with letting go.
Declutter your room.
One drawer each week.
Speak less.
Listen more.
Reduce your news and phone consumption.
Most importantly — release guilt, shame, and the need to be “perfect.”
PROFESSOR (quietly):
I never realized… how much I was holding.
HEALER:
Minimalism is not poverty.
It is inner wealth.
It is breathing again.
CLOSING DIALOGUE
PROFESSOR: This is not a diet… it’s a return to living.
HEALER (smiles):
Exactly.
And diabetes cannot survive in a body that is in harmony.
PROFESSOR:
I’ll follow this.
Not because I’m desperate, but because something in me wants to come alive again.
HEALER:
And you will.
Remember — your true medicine is self-respect.
The rest are simply tools.
