Lakshmi ji healed her PMS, Anxiety, Asthma, Sleeplessness symptoms in 28 days

In this YouTube interview, host Badrinath Gella speaks with Lakshmi ji, an online tutor from Cochin, Kerala, about her one‑month experience in the Conscious Breathing Hub community and a 24‑day breathing challenge. Lakshmi describes chronic health issues she faced—20 years of asthma requiring regular inhaler use, severe premenstrual syndrome (PMS), anxiety, sleep disturbances, weight gain, and related skin/hair concerns. After joining the community through a Facebook ad and attending an orientation on June 25, she began daily conscious breathing practices (including box breathing and abdominal breathing). Within a few days she noticed drastic reductions in anxiety and PMS symptoms, less bloating, improved mental clarity, and a significant decrease in inhaler reliance (now using it only occasionally). Over the month she reports weight loss, a slimmer abdomen, clearer skin, reduced hair loss, increased energy, better sleep (no nighttime awakenings), and an overall sense of vitality. Lakshmi also highlights the supportive community atmosphere, the non‑pressuring course design, and the financial comparison between ongoing medication costs and the modest fee for the breathing program. She urges viewers—both current members and prospective participants—to practice consistently (even 10 minutes while traveling) and to join the community for lasting health benefits.
Chapters
I was facing many health issues since, first of all, I'm an asthmatic patient using inhalers regularly. But above that, the main issues were anxiety, all this premenstrual syndrome, PMS symptoms, which used to trouble me a lot. Immediately, the change which I observed was, again, this anxiety symptoms and PMS symptoms reduced drastically. Very nice. No bloating, no gastric difficulties. So I think this will help more ladies. Regarding asthma, I have reduced my inhaler intake. Reduce— I just use once in a while, that's all, because I have been asthmatic since last 20 years.
Hello, hi, namaste. Today we have Lakshmi ji. She's an online tutor and from Kerala. She has reduced her PMS symptoms, and 95% of her PMS symptoms, in, um, in like, I think, couple of weeks. And she has been in our community for the past 1 month. It's been a 1 month of journey for her. So like, she has able to see a lot of changes in her daily life. So let's see what has— what changes have she able to make after coming to the community. So welcome, Lakshmi ji. So I just wanted to know from you, like, uh, why did you choose to come here? So that's the first question I would like to know. Go ahead.
Yeah, okay. Uh, I'm from Kerala, Cochin, and this community is— first of all, I want to say I chose this community because I was facing many health issues since a few months or maybe one year or more. First of all, I'm an asthmatic patient using inhalers regularly, but above that, the main issues were anxiety, all this premenstrual syndrome, PMS symptoms, which used to trouble me a lot. I think most of the ladies in my age group after 40s can understand what they are going through. It's really a tough time for them, and maybe all everyone in the family also may not be able to understand that. But then the main thing is that we have to maintain our— we have to be peaceful always. As ladies, we have to take care of the kids, of the family, of the home, our work, everything. So that's when I came across this advertisement of Conscious Breathing Hub on Facebook, and I thought I just attend the orientation or the workshop which was conducted on June 25th. So it's now 1 month I'm in this community and I really feel great. And I would like to share my experiences with all of you because we have to take care of our health and that is what only remains with us. If whatever it be, we don't have good health and peace within ourselves, It's not— we can't— whatever is there, it's no use actually. There's no use of anything else. So, okay, then can I say—
great. Yeah, so like, uh, yeah, you, you were facing, uh, you are having asthma, you're using inhalers, and anxiety, and also because you are going in the process of menopause and you have those symptoms and, uh, like quite imbalances as well. Right, so great, great. But like, can you tell us like what are the changes did you observe immediately after starting practicing these breathing techniques and all the challenges which we are having? And also what are the long-term changes? Like it's been 1 month, it's, it's not actually long, it's actually short only, but what are the changes have you observed over the month as well as what are the changes did you observe immediately after starting practicing?
Okay. Immediately the change which I observed was again this anxiety symptoms and this PMS symptoms reduced drastically. I started observing the breath and I started observing the breath and then oxygen started, I felt oxygen is entering and I was very consciously breathing. Actually the name, I think this is the app name for this group or this course, Conscious Breathing Hub, we become conscious about ourselves. We start loving ourselves. We start taking care of ourselves because most of the people, they don't find any me time. We all need me time for ourselves so that, uh, uh, there are so many changes. I can't just count and tell. The first symptom I got relieved was the PMS symptom. Actually, last month I was planning to meet a psychologist, psychiatrist, because I felt so numbness in my head, brain fogging, and keep forgetting things, getting irritated, frustrated for small, small things. It's all just 1 or 2 weeks before I get my menstruation. So then I thought, I thought I have to do something seriously, but then I didn't want to have all these psychiatric medicines which will again lead me to Maybe I was not so serious about it. Then I started doing this. Within 2 or 3 days, I started finding so good and relief. And this month I was so happy, happily. And you can ask my family, they are also happy and they are also joining me in this, doing this. So it's very nice, very nice. No bloating, no gastric difficulties. So I think this will help more ladies. Regarding asthma, I have reduced my inhaler intake. Reduce— I just use once in a while, that's all. Because I have been asthmatic since last 20 years, so I thought, uh, I just didn't want to put an end to it suddenly because all those are steroids and it will reduce our lung capacity. So I thought I'll just reduce it, reduce it, and now I'm not using it much. Once in a while I'll just have, that's all. But then I don't think that is also necessary now. And the main thing is that when we do the practice regularly, it's become a responsibility within ourselves. We are doing something for ourselves, and so it's very important. And I wish everyone of us, maybe we are having so much money, we are having a good job, but then spending 30 minutes in 24 hours for ourselves, it becomes, it makes us so energetic. Whole day after my practice till night I'm sleeping. I don't like to feel, I had fatigue also, but now I don't like to sleep in the afternoon. I keep on doing something. I feel so energetic. The one mantra change is so drastic.
Wow, that's awesome. Like even like, uh, like 20 years of asthma. Like, like, I think you have been visiting many doctors. How much have you spent so far on your health? Like, uh, for a medication, visiting doctors or anything, have you spent some money? Because, uh, you know, like, there is no cure for asthma in the medical terms.
Yeah.
So have, have you also been told that, like, there is no cure for asthma, so you have to just carry forward with this? Like, is there any—
Sure, I was told like that. Plus inhalers I have Since my eldest son is 20 years now, so after his birth only I got asthma. And after that I have been visiting so many doctors. I don't have an account of how much money I spent for this actually. Now after having so many medicines and steroids and everything, I thought— I put on weight also. Now to be happy, I'll tell you one more thing. I have reduced weight, my abdomen has gone in, and also people ask me, "You are looking so nice now." Face and all has a clear— this shining now. What is the secret? I don't— I'll tell you. I'll ask you to join something. It's because only of breathing. And hair growth, hair loss has also reduced. All ladies will be concerned regarding their beauty, their shape, their hair, skin. So I feel so, so much difference in that also.
That's awesome, because see, one problem leads to another problem. When we are taking medication, or when you are taking inhalers, you are suppressing the symptoms. Yeah, you're not curing the root cause of the problem. That people don't understand. But you may spend like medicines, for example, you may spend 1,000 or 2,000 rupees per month. That doesn't seem big. But in the long run, per year, how much are you spending? Like, it's ₹24,000 per year for medicines. And also, that medicines will have side effects. Yes, also those steroids also have side effects. That's the reason, like, you also feel bloating, or you also feel hair loss, you also feel like, uh, aging, early aging. And all this happens because of this, because we are suppressing the symptoms, natural symptoms which are occurred by body, instead of addressing the root cause of the problem. Dear friends, so whoever is watching, this is very, very important. Whether you join or don't join, or whether you go to any class or not, like any practice, any breathing, or any healing techniques or not, but do understand that whether you have hypertension or any problem, when you are taking medication, you are just suppressing your symptoms, not healing those symptoms. You might be expecting that at least next year I'll be able to hold, next year I will be able to heal. So if you see Lakshmi ji, like 20 years she has spent her life with that, right? So I do not want you all to go to that longer journey. Do you feel that, Lakshmi ji, like I, I would have found this a little earlier so that I would have solved my—
even when I attended your workshops for the first time, uh, when I can tell you openly regarding the payment, I was just thinking, oh, should I spend so much for breathing? Then I thought, when we go to some supermarket, we buy all sorts of junk food. When we go to a restaurant for a dinner, we spend ₹2,000-��3,000. So it's for lifelong. It's a lifelong companion I have got in this group. And Surya is really great. And now it's a part of my life. Whatever it be, I do my— this is the 24th day challenge today I did. Breathing Challenge, I feel so good. My body has become more flexible. I feel so light. And actually, I should not be sitting like this at this time of my life. I know, because I, I will be irritated. I'll be nagging over small, small things. And my kids and my husband know that what I was in the last month and what I am today. So that's why even I feel so good for myself that I am able to be so good to them. So good to everyone I meet. And above all, I can sleep peacefully. That is also there. Usually I wake up 2 to 3 times in the night, and now I sleep properly, very much. And especially after the 3 days, Monday, Wednesday, Friday sessions, I feel so happy. And we have early dinner. Everything we plan accordingly. Otherwise, the 9 o'clock, 10 o'clock dinner, like that, everything is late. Now This has become a part of our life, and we feel our health is the most important thing in our life. Whatever we have, if we don't have oxygen, rather than putting all this mask and lying in the hospital bed, it's great when we feel gratitude to the air which is given by God, the oxygen which we inhale consciously. It goes to our lungs, it goes to our abdomen like that, and we breathe out. And that feel of breathing is great, really great.
That's awesome, that's awesome, Lakshmi ji. And would you like to share something about how did you feel the community and the aspects of the courses which you got and all these things like, and also the group energy and all?
Yeah, it's very, very good. Again, I want to say this community, there are so many people, I feel each person is unique. From their own point of view. Each person has their own problem, and that will be the biggest thing for them. If this is my biggest problem, someone else will have some other. And I remember someone saying about the scared— they have fear of snake, and so many people came forward to help that person. And that's very important. These days we don't see people. People don't have time for anything. They just— they want to make money and spend for their family. And it is inevitable also, I know money is very important, but then we need love, compassion, and elements like that is lacking in our community. And I would like that more youngsters come into this and be a part of this community, and they can also help Badri Sahib for this activity. So we can have all these get-togethers online and offline also. So many programs we can just And according to Sir's wish, we can— we should be able to— people, 1 million people should listen to this and practice this. And it's my wish. This is a great community, people helping each other, just giving a message, more power to you. We also feel good when we give a good wish to others rather than cursing and nagging, complaining, not feeling grateful. All those are negative. We become positive when we use these positive terms. Like more power to you and good wishes, gratitude, thank you, kindness, kind words. All, all these are the part of this group.
Great, great. So thank you for that. And, uh, what would you like to share, like, uh, for the people who are already part of the community and also people who are watching this? So what do you think, like, uh, like they have to really take action on? Like, how can they be like, make sure like they will get better results?
Yeah, I think for the people of this community, even when they're traveling, at least do 10 minutes breathing, inhale, exhale, and that square box breathing, many terms you have told. And I don't know how you, how you made this course, how you designed this course so beautifully. And you never pressurize us, you we are not even doing anything. So light, up to our capacity we go, and so we feel we are doing something, but according to our capacity. And daily, daily, the body also allows us back, and so then we become more and more flexible in mind and body. So people of the community, I would like to say that keep on practicing without missing even a session. Daily, daily, daily. Even if you are lying on the bed as I did today, it's all abdominal breathing lying on my back. So even we can do that if we are not sick also. We can just be conscious of inhaling, exhaling. Even we have fever, I feel it's good if we can do. And for people who are wishing to join or who are just thinking whether to join or not, I would say please join because I feel it's not nothing. I never have seen Sir before or anything. It's my personal decision. I just asked my husband. I told, I think my mind says that I should join this, otherwise I will be just become an addict to my inhaler and just go to some psychiatrist, have some pills and grow again fat, fat and bloating and every time sleeping. It will not be a healthy lifestyle, but for all these symptoms it's good. So people who wish to join, I think it is a good opportunity. You can join and see, you can just experience the— take a decision.
Great, great. So people like, uh, see, you have problem, everyone has problem. It's not that like nobody has, uh, nobody is very good or anything, but it's only about like finding the right solution, having the right path, having the right mentor will give the results. So what you are going to get here is a right path right mentor, proven method, and all these things you will be getting. So we unnecessarily make our problems complicated. We don't take action when we got one problem, and that leads to another problem, that leads to another problem, that leads to another problem, right? So we— the— once, uh, it becomes very serious, we want some other solution. So that time, like, you just have to manage. You cannot really cure. But people who are like really like serious about this and reverse your diseases, this is the best decision you can make. And I'm leaving the links below, how can you be part of our community. And also you can join our workshop, which is like very, very affordable. At least you will, if you join that workshop, you will be able to learn the foundation aspects of breathing and how you have to do breathing and what are the things you have to consider while you are breathing and how can you heal with just power of your breath without depending on any external things. So with this, I thank you so much, Lakshmi ji, for your time and coming here motivating our audience. And you are, you are such an inspiration person, like, in our community. And day one onwards, I am seeing you, like, you are so active, and you are the first person who can answer the questions and all those things. So keep continuing that enthusiasm and keep getting more results, keep becoming better and better and better every day. And that, like, your story is going to be very inspiring for all of us. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much, sir. For giving this opportunity and designing such a beautiful course. Let it be helpful to the whole world and let your dream also come true, like it should reach 1 million people. And we are just proud that we are also part of that mission.
Yes, you are. Thank you.
