I've been aware of Jasmuheen's work of living on light and teaching others how to do so for about 10 years. But I finally bought this book of hers and read it cover to cover. Her work and insight truly burst the scientific/nuitrition paradigm bubble we've been living in since the dawn of recorded history. I've also seen a video presentation of Jasmuheen's key note speech made to the IONS convention a few years back. At that time she'd not been eating or drinking for 8 years. She is a vibrant, energetic and dynamic person and a spell-binding speaker.

i have not read pranic nourishment but the gil bar-on review relies upon a previous book by same author entitled "Living On Light" which i have read and lived by/experienced. While i have to admit i was living according to some or many of the principles/ideas outlined in the book before i came upon the book and read it, the fact is that literally living on light or prana or the breath alone definitely works, and works wonders at that.

does that mean it will work for everyone and facilitate everyone? no it doesn't, however i can say with a measure of certainty gained from personal experience that i have gone weeks without eating anything and felt wonderful and much better than i do now; and when i did finally eat, it was to appease my blood mother at a family gathering on mother's day.

now it should be pointed out that much of my life i had been a carnivore, and vegetarian diets never worked for me ...........well i could go on and on but the point of me writing is that just because jasmuheen's books did not work for mr or mrs gil-bar on doesn't mean the message is hogwash. its just that the message is not for everyone. and further, the natural desire to free one-self from subservience to the flesh and perceived appetites flowing therefrom often precedes the natural ability to sustain oneself independent of what is perceived as external to the body image, because we have been "born" into an illusion. to summarize, the understanding, which is the cause, precedes the effect, which (among a number of other things) is the relinquishment of and/or detachment from perceived appetites of the flesh. Some of us may refuse to acknowledge it, but the fact is the flesh is completely at your command, so if you deeply believe in want and need, your body image will respond accordingly....

however when you live in accordance with divine law, reprogram your mind accordingly as well as learn how to open up your body and still your mind, you can begin to do things were previously considered even by yourself to be "impossible"....at least that has been my experience here on earth.

In my recent interests I have got a copy of a controversial book by Jasmuheen - Pranic Nourishment - Nutrition for the New Millennium - Living on Light Series.

It is a nearly 200 page read with authors direct insight into living on light, prana or chi. Universal energy force that connects us all and runs through all things. The force-light energy that all things are made out of and that permeates through the entire cosmos/universe. Jasmuheen has been doing her work for many many years (over 10 for sure) and is both admired and despised by many. It's interesting because her message is for those who are truly OPEN minded. This book and its contained information is not for skeptics or faint of heart.

The concepts that she presents in the book and the manner in which it is written - channeled messages, research etc... will break, undermine the views of many, and pull the carpet from under your feet as you who are already considering yourself as "open minded".

The key of the book and one of the most important points I believe is that it is for those individuals who are TRULY interested in turning to their highest maximum potential - the challenge in understanding our highest maximum potential is that we as a society conditioned and bread into thinking with our heads, believe and understand our human potential as a form of mind. In this case and what Jasmuheen goes on to explain in the book the highest maximum potential has to do with our HEARTS and our re-connection and re-evolution into our Higher Self and into our Divine Self. Basically - NO MIND.

From the start, the presented concepts and ideas in the book assume that the reader is somewhat connected with the world of Spirit (not religion necessarily), and is open enough to set aside all previous beliefs about self, existence and nutrition, and to receive this information as a pure open hearted guidance from someone who is walking this path.

The challenge with books and information like this is that there is so few of them. In many ways Jasmuheen is a pioneer and a guide in the world of Breatharianism. I know personally a breatharian and from what he told me and from my research into this the transition for each one is different and unique. Jasmuheen shares from the space of her heart the transition process and her direct knowledge. Weather what the book contains is true or not is another question, however it is true to her and to many of us that are chosing to embark on this path.

Her work in general is what I call "transmission work" - Meaning that she shares directly her transmission connecting to teachers and authors and ideas that are on the same universal frequency as she is. If you are not tuned into this high vibrational frequency you will not only not understand what the message she is relaying is, but also miss it entirely and perhaps even take it as bogus.

On the note of our frequencies, all that we put into our bodies and minds has an effect on our psyche and our lives in general. If you are meat eater, alcohol drinker then you will entirely miss the point of this book. If you are however connected to our Earth, vegan and perhaps a raw-fooder who does periodic spiritual fastings, then you will read this book with joy and new understanding for the universal creation that is taking place.

In any case - This book is a brave work - pioneering work, valuable resource for anyone who is considering and/or already connected strongly with the universal life force feeling its vibrancy through their being and having a natural desire to progress further on Spiritual path.

Blessed Be.

Hello everybody! I'm writing this comment out of obligation to share my personal story and what I had learnt in order to protect and warn people not to make the same mistakes I've done.. by believing Jasmuheen and her false message..

When I was young, I was a vegan and a raw foodist and I happen to find, bought and read Jasmuheen's book: "Living On Light" (You should read the comments on this book on Amazon as well..) and so I was "hooked" and totally believed in what she wrote there and even bought the image and life she tried to convey about herself in her website.. or should I say lies and deceit.. (Or just the words of a mentally ill woman..). She used words like: "We did a research.." But I guess There's probably no "We" and no experiments, as we know them, just her and the voices and delusions in her mind! Her "mission" and books just brought on me pain and misery and two eating disorders- Anorexia and Bulimia, and eventually to a physical and mental breakdown which took me YEARS to heal from and over come! I was young and naive then and I didn't know any better.. I didn't listen to the doctors and my parents since I totally believed her and other "breatharian" books.. People like Wiley Brooks who is probably another fraud.. and Prof Hilton Hotema's books.. You should be aware of them as well..

Only recently I've seen the "60 Minutes" program which can be found in YouTube: "Breatharian FAIL. (Jasmuheen)". This show exposed her for who she Really is and I was amazed to see the Real woman behind all of this.. An immature and probably Anorexic in denial and a delusional woman.. Don't fall for appearances and words alone! People can write thousands of books with many stories and books.. But who says there is ANY truth in them? In Jasmuheen's case, already a few women had died because of her so-called teaching and research and till this day she continues her "work" without any guilt or remorse! she even blame the death of these woman as not being prepared enough!!

Lately I've found that Jasmuheen keeps on spreading her message online- this time in YouTube! Do you want your teenage children to fall into that as well? Jusmuheen has a very dangerous influence on people, just like a cult guru, and whether she does it on purpose or not (I can assume in her honor that she's not even aware of the pain and misery, her doing have caused and still causing to people's lives..) But this is not the issue! We should't let books like her be out there..

PLEASE listen to my advice and Don't make the same mistake I've made! It's just not worth it! We came into this world to experience life as it it! Within a human body! Don't try to fight something which is natural and good as eating! The whole Breatharianism idea is just Escapism from Reality! People who want to become "Breatharians" only do so because they believe it is possible, after all they've read and they are naive enough to do anything.. in the name of health or spirituality- to the point of spiritual escapism- out of life and the responsibilities they have.. Or because they want to be "good enough" or the best and reach perfection.. Don't buy these lies and hoaxes of a perfect body and mind or becoming more "divine" and "enlightened" just because of not eating.. You can focus on making your body healthier and eat better, but Never make the mistake of believing in things which are just lies and nonsense just because ONE person wrote or told you they are the truth! Especially if this woman might be a lier or plain deluded, sick mentally, physically and emotionally and do now know what she's doing nor takes responsibility for it..

In the book "Autobiography of a Yogi" By Paramahansa Yogananda, there's a chapter about a woman called Giri Bala who also said she didn't eat or drink for many years.. But she said explicitly when asked why doesn't she share her secret: "No. I was strictly commanded by my guru not to divulge the secret. It is not his wish to tamper with God's drama of creation." Later she said that thanks to life being As it Is- people look for the Real meaning of life.. Another woman who lived without eating, a nun called Therese Neumann, who was asked the same question said: "I cannot do that; God does not wish it." So you see? Even if the belief or ability to exist in a body without eating, might be real- this does NOT mean we should all do it too! Only God chooses those who are meant to live a life like this and with a a high and divine purpose and reason! Jasmuheen makes it seems like Anyone can do this and should do this, if they'll only follow Her method and rules.. But this is just not true and Totally irresponsible!

I hope that my message here, will help others avoid the pits I had fallen into.. and I wish you all a wonderful and peaceful lives! Enjoy your lives AND even your food! God gave it to us for our enjoyment as well! We should take a good care of our bodies and not just live to eat.. But she should also listen to the body's own wisdom and follow its guidance.. If we feel like eating- then we should eat! It is as simple as that! All the animals on the planet do that, and so should we! :-)

I'll be happy to advice and help anyone who might need it..
You can read the comments I left in her other books.

With Love,
Gil :-)
