The waves are used by theta healers to re-programme core beliefs and soul levels at the crown chakra on the top of the head.

'It cures back problems, chronic ailments like asthma and changes lifestyles. But not everyone is ready to heal. One has to be receptive to the healing energy,' Dua said.

Theta healing, which was brought to India in 2005 by Sangita Sahi, a London-based healer, was founded by US-based Vianna Stibal, an artist, writer and psychic healer, 15 years ago.

'As a healer, I came across people facing types of problems -- physical, mental and emotional. But every problem has a common thread, they stem from a negative set of beliefs carried by the person. During each healing session, counselling at the patient's conscious level is aimed at making him realise how he shapes his life events and contributes in creating his own stress. This gives him a different perspective to life and helps him alter its course,' Dua said.

The book is divided into five sections. The first aims at understanding how a human being himself is responsible for everything that he experiences in life.

The second section deals with various inner conflicts while the third deals with the negative emotions that mar relationships. The fourth is an account of how inner power can help beat stress and the last section explains how, having cleared all the blocks within ourselves at various levels, we can use our power to achieve what gives us utmost satisfaction.

The book is full of examples. 'Our back represents our support system, it supports the physical body to be erect. It is therefore affected by all the support system that we carry. I have found financial support related insecurities in people with lower back problem,' Dua writes, citing an instance.
