The first time I met with the Master was at a very difficult time of my life. I was just diagnosed from two doctors with osteoarthritis at the left knee at the age of 27. At first, I did not believe in Yusuf’s approach and healing technique. “Hey! No medicine or even laser could not reverse arthritis so, what is this guy telling me?”. After a series of sessions, I could walk and dance again. During this healing journey the Master taught me how to listen to myself and cooperate with my body in order to speed up the healing process, how to empower myself.
The second time I needed Master Yusuf’s help was when I suffered from a serious eye infection. For two years allergy and continuous infections where succeeding one another. I could not wear contact lenses, eye make-up and I always had to carry with me eye drops and eye ointments. Master Yusuf used a natural solution and after a week I was healthy again.
Master Yusuf helped me again when I had a minor spinal injury that gradually caused to me tendonitis. I was not able to keep something in my hand without dropping it. I was not able to hold the fork and knife. I had to quit the piano for a month and I was driving the car by using my pinky fingers. Imagine trying to take care a family of three children while not being able to hold and drink a glass of water unless you support it with two hands! And the pain was getting worse. I had to freeze my wrists every time the pain begun.
I was devastated. Losing the ability of playing music would be catastrophic for me. Music’s teacher who couldn’t play music! My job was at risk; my family’s wellbeing was at risk. I started having sessions with Master Yusuf and although the healing treatment was not always easy. I knew that I could trust him. During these sessions we had various conversations with the Master. About everything. About healing, questions about God, about his method, about music. The discussions were always very very interesting and the questions he was asking to me always very difficult to be answered. One day I asked him: “Why do you keep asking these tough questions? Say something nice for a change!” “Well, I ask what the patient NEEDS to answer to. Not what he /she LIKE to respond to. What kind of help would that be!” he said.
Now, not only I play the piano but I joined a samba percussion band and I took up guitar lessons. Master, I can not thank you enough for being a healer, guide and a true friend to me.
