The Beginning
I was 24 years old and in my fourth year of medical school when I first walked into an acupuncture school in Sri Lanka, eager to explore this ancient discipline. Having grown up immersed in Ayurveda traditions, I had practiced healthy habits my entire life, albeit unknowingly, thanks to my parents. But once I began medical school, the practices of Ayurveda seemed insignificant compared to the scientific study of the human body. I was captivated by the intricacies of human anatomy and physiology, impressed by the critical thinking and evidence-based approach that modern medicine offered. Learning about diseases and their treatments made me feel invincible.
When I joined the acupuncture school, my intentions were laced with skepticism. I wanted to observe what I thought were misguided proponents of acupuncture deceiving vulnerable patients. After all, the modern medical methods I was learning were proven to heal people—how could inserting metal needles in the body do anything remotely similar?
My acupuncture professor, surprisingly, was a Western-trained doctor who had left modern medicine to practice acupuncture full-time. The clinic treated 150 to 200 patients daily, and what I witnessed there would forever change my perspective on health.
A Surprise Discovery
One day, a middle-aged civil engineer was brought into the acupuncture clinic on a stretcher, completely paralyzed due to multiple spinal fractures. A native of Sri Lanka, he had been working in Switzerland when a roadside accident shattered his vertebrae. After multiple failed medical and surgical interventions in both Switzerland and the U.S., he had returned to Sri Lanka, resigned to spend his final days at home.
In a last-ditch effort, he sought treatment at our acupuncture clinic. What followed was nothing short of remarkable: through daily treatments, his mobility gradually improved. Within six months, he was walking again—a man who had come here to die had instead found new life. How could this be? A miracle? Divine intervention? Did acupuncture actually work?
When I asked how it was possible, my professor simply said, “We rebalanced his energy.” This was the spiritual foundation upon which acupuncture is built. Scientifically, it remains a mystery, but the results were undeniable.
The Evolution
This mystery lingered in my mind throughout my career as a heart transplant cardiologist. Over the years, I keenly observed patients on the brink of death, witnessing phenomena that modern medicine could not explain.
Some patients, deemed too ill to survive, would walk out of the hospital against all odds, while others—who were expected to recover—never made it home. Despite our country’s advanced medical care, some people could not be helped, while others improved with minimal intervention. The deciding factor, I came to realize, was not just medical care—it was the individual person.
This phenomenon, the hidden power within human beings, is something that science has yet to fully understand. Science, despite all its advancements, has not yet reached the level needed to comprehend the universe’s energetic forces.
The Realization
I eventually realized that the patients who survived and thrived were tapping into something beyond medicine. It wasn’t just about personality; it was something deeper—a force within them that couldn’t be measured by any medical instrument, Eastern or Western.
That force was their spirit.
Stronger spirits survived; weaker spirits succumbed. Only the individual has the power to influence their own spirit. I came to understand that health outcomes are closely tied to how much a person engages their spirit in the healing process. In my observations, I realized that the power of the human spirit is often masked by the logic-driven human brain. But when a person learns to unmask and free their spirit, they unlock their full potential for success.
