Managing Pain: A Personal Experience
I began the TAI Course for Professional Operators in January 2023, and by April, I had completed eight lessons, reaching the halfway point. By that time, I had already experienced the power of external TAI on myself and clients. On April 26, while walking to work along a typically uneven but familiar Roman road, I tripped and fell. The pain was excruciating, and I realized that I had severely injured my right arm. As I waited for the ambulance, lying on the ground, I tried to focus on my breathing to stay alert, present, and control the pain as much as possible. Once I arrived at the emergency room and waited for the orthopedic consultation, the pain was barely manageable, but I visualized treating myself with Pranic Healing, a technique I practice. Simultaneously, I performed external TAI in my mind, visualizing it because I was holding my right arm tightly with my left hand—the only position that provided some relief.
I pictured my hands at the level of the first dantian and repeated the phrase:
“I take back my power and release the energy contained in this pain,” fully focusing on the painful area. I took a deeper breath than before.
Then, I visualized my hands at the level of the heart dantian and said:
“I let go of all attachment, identification, and entanglement with this pain.”
I felt a slight reduction in pain.
I moved to the third dantian and formulated:
“I create the utmost coherence within myself regarding this pain.”
I noticed another slight improvement.
Throughout the 40-minute wait, I alternated between Pranic treatments and TAI, repeating the phrase:
“I align all my systems to the changes underway.”
My breathing calmed, and for a few moments, I could let go of my arm and find an acceptable position on the stretcher. The pain was still significant, but it was under control.
When I was finally examined, I was calm and composed. The X-ray showed a multi-line fracture of the humerus epiphysis and a trochite detachment. The fracture was aligned, so immobilization without surgery was recommended.
During the four hours I spent in the hospital, I continued practicing TAI using the methods I described, alternating with Pranic treatments and mindful breathing. By the time I returned home by taxi, the pain had subsided, and my overall condition was acceptable.
Throughout the rehabilitation period, I repeatedly used external and internal TAI, which I had learned during the course, as well as Sequential TAI, which I relied on for the full recovery of my arm.
By October, I had regained full movement, surpassing the expectations of the physiotherapists who initially thought achieving 80% mobility would be a success. While my body, as a physical matter, needed its time to heal, TAI dissolved the space-time capsules that contained fears, uncertainties, and blocks—such as the fear of walking and going outside. This significantly sped up the healing process, which is often delayed by crystallized patterns in cases like this.
I never wished for such an experience, but it ultimately became undeniable proof of the extraordinary power of this technique.
Returning to Life at 23
May 2, 2023
RT, a 23-year-old, came to me with a severe spinal condition that had persisted for about three years, worsening over time. The doctors had told him that surgery was the only solution. He was hunched over, appearing much older than his age, and in pain almost all day. After work in the theater industry, he was forced to lie down and rest to alleviate the symptoms. He didn’t want surgery, feeling that it wasn’t the right path, but he didn’t know what else to do. He had consulted multiple doctors, all giving the same recommendation. He was very depressed and withdrawn. His physical posture reflected this—he dragged his feet as he walked and avoided looking at himself in profile because of his pronounced “hump.”
During our conversation, and using meta-questions, his negative outlook on everything surfaced—his family, his work, and his inability to see his friends as much as he wanted. He was tense and anxious, and I noticed that he frequently held his breath, not breathing properly.
I suggested that he close his eyes and focus on his breath. Speaking softly, I guided him to pay attention to the air entering and leaving his nostrils. At first, he struggled, but he quickly found a more regular and calm rhythm.
I had him open his eyes and describe how he felt. He said he felt more relaxed. We repeated the exercise, this time counting seven breaths. He gave positive feedback. We repeated it a third time, again with seven breaths.
Now he was calm and relaxed, and his posture had changed. His shoulders had relaxed and opened up.
Seeing that he was receptive, I introduced him to TAI, explaining that it is a very modern technique that is easy to learn. The goal is to dissolve knots that form in our systems—physical, emotional, mental, and energetic. I explained the concept of space-time capsules. He was visibly intrigued and engaged.
I explained the three dantians and guided him to place his hands on the first dantian with his eyes closed. He reported feeling warmth.
He said he felt much calmer and more confident. I encouraged him to continue the breathing exercises on his own.

RT arrived with a big smile on his face. He told me that while he still had back pain, he felt better and had slept more peacefully.
We began immediately with TAI. I asked him about the most dominant symptom at that moment. He described a dull, constant pain localized in his dorsal vertebrae and rated it a 9 out of 10.
First round of External TAI on the sensation of pain.
I had him close his eyes and take the position “I am the source.”
First Dantian: “I take back my power and release the energy contained in this sensation.”
- His pale face flushed noticeably, his eyes squeezed shut, and his breathing was labored.
Second Dantian: “I let go of all attachment, identification, and entanglement with this sensation.”
- He let out a noisy breath through his mouth. His face was still flushed but less so than before.
Third Dantian: “I create the utmost coherence within myself regarding this sensation.”
- His complexion normalized, and his facial muscles relaxed.
He opened his eyes and told me that during the first phrase, he had felt what he described as “a strong resistance,” which had later dissolved.
We discussed the term he used. I asked him to describe this “resistance”—whether it was something he could hear, see, touch, smell, or taste. He “saw” it as a great weight he couldn’t move. This confirmed my perception that his primary channels, from an NLP perspective, were mainly visual and kinesthetic.
Second round of TAI on the weight.
- During the first phrase, his face flushed again, and he struggled to repeat the phrase. He paused to take shallow breaths but managed to finish it.
- During the second phrase, he let out another big breath through his open mouth.
- By the third phrase, he appeared to be asleep.
I asked him to open his eyes, and he said it felt like he had been asleep for hours.
I offered him water and had him stand and walk around.
We repeated the alignment phrase with his hands over his heart dantian.
Smiling, I asked him how the pain was now, and he said it was a 2. He added that it felt more like a tightening sensation in that area.
Third round of TAI on the residual sensation.
- First phrase: He spoke fluidly, with no facial flushing.
- Second phrase: He breathed normally.
- Third phrase: He smiled as he spoke.
Me: “How are you feeling?”
R: “Great, I don’t feel anything anymore.”
We repeated the alignment.
He left standing visibly straighter, and I recommended that he continue practicing the breathing exercises.
I didn’t feel ready to have him practice TAI on his own yet. I sensed he still needed guidance.
This case has been particularly significant in my experience. It’s rare for me to work with such young clients, and choosing TAI from among the other techniques I know proved to be the right decision. TAI demonstrated its full effectiveness and showed itself to be a powerful, easy-to-teach, and easy-to-learn tool—highly effective, especially for younger generations who are accustomed to a different pace of life, which can sometimes verge on superficiality.
TAI is like a laser—it is highly precise and goes straight to the point, allowing for quick yet deep action. These qualities also apply to older individuals, but I believe that the universe is providing us with tools better suited to working with younger generations. Andrea has picked up on these “hints” and skillfully developed them into a tool. Thank you!
I’m very happy to have completed the operator course, which was rich in content and detail. I feel that I’ve thoroughly mastered this tool, which has become part of me and my toolkit for helping others. I recommend it to anyone looking to expand their knowledge and acquire a highly useful technique for themselves and others.
