Homa Healing Stories

I have been practicing Homa Therapy for a little over a year. Through this practice, I have had a spiritual encounter with myself. I have been able to heal both, emotionally and physically from a dermatitis. And it has brought me much closer to healing my feminine lineage. I have had experiences with Mother Nature where I have been able to heal and release issues from my childhood. I have also felt that I have, in a way, set my ancestors free. They are no longer here on earth, but I feel that they are grateful and still remain in our heart.

I have been practicing Agnihotra for one year and two months. It has been a wonderful experience. I came with an addiction problem for which I had visited rehabilitation centers, psychologists, psychiatrists, and I had also sought help, so to speak, from churches and all that.

But the experience with the Agnihotra Fire has been amazing. It has been unique. And I can connect with myself, finding within what I have been searching for outside for a long time in a meaningless life. This connection helps me to stay in the present and be able to resolve certain situations. So, the Homa experience has been amazing, amazing, amazing.

The testimony I want to share is about what happened to my husband. He had respiratory problems, and one might think that the smoke could harm him, but in fact, whenever we performed Agnihotra, he felt better and his condition improved. So, even though people may think that the smoke is harmful, that is not the case with Homa Therapy. In fact, it is very beneficial for respiratory problems.

My husband originally had lung cancer, but they removed one of his lungs and eradicated the cancer. However, he was left with complications from the radiation therapy, which caused significant damage to his remaining lung, and he required constant oxygen. The Homa Therapy I began practicing helped him tremendously. He would ask me to perform Agnihotra because he told me it made him feel better.

My Testimony with Homa Therapy and Agnihotra

My experience with Agnihotra has been a true joy for my heart, a blessing for my spirit, and deep nourishment for my soul. This practice has filled my life with peace, serenity, and confidence. It has been a healing tool for my emotional world, helping me transform the anxiety, distress, and moments of depression I once experienced.

The healing came surprisingly quickly. After a month of constant practice, I could already perceive significant changes in my emotional state and in the way I face life. Even today, when I feel anxiety creeping back in, I light my pyramid, perform Agnihotra, and once again find that sacred space of calm, clarity, and inner peace.

Homa Therapy has not only been a healing balm for my soul, but also for my son’s. During the grieving process following his father’s passing, the Sacred Fire became a Refuge of Love, Peace, and Strength for him. I have witnessed how this practice has brought him peace, emotional support, and hope during the most difficult moments. I can attest that the Sacred Fire has illuminated his days of pain and sadness, accompanying him with its healing light at every stage of this journey. Seeing how, little by little, he has found serenity in the midst of this absence has been one of the greatest confirmations of the Transformative and Loving Power of this Therapy.

Today, I have been practicing Homa Therapy for two years. I perform Agnihotra and the additional fires in my home. And I also joyfully participate in group and community gatherings where we share this wonderful medicine of fire. Each practice strengthens my connection with life, with nature, with my essence, and with the divine presence that dwells within all of us.

We are living in times of great upheaval and transformation. I feel that we are going through a period of profound trials and learning, in which each of us is invited to look at our lives with greater awareness. Amid these challenges, remaining grounded in the Divine Light allows us to better understand what we are experiencing, to act with greater wisdom, and to recognize the purpose behind every experience.

This understanding arises when we turn our gaze inward, without seeking external recognition or approval. True validation comes from within ourselves when we manage to live in alignment with what we think, what we feel, and how we act in the world. That is where true transformation begins.

Therefore, I invite you to remain steadfast before the Sacred Fire, honoring this Ancestral Medicine and this Therapy of Love. May each burning flame remind us that transformation begins within us and that, by healing ourselves, we also contribute to healing our surroundings and spreading more light into the world.

Let us continue walking with faith, humility, and perseverance, sustaining the practice and allowing the fire to continue purifying our thoughts, strengthening our hearts, and guiding us toward a more conscious and harmonious life.

May the Sacred Fire continue to illuminate our path, strengthen our hearts, and remind us that the Peace we seek always Dwells Within Us.

Agnihotra and Tendonitis

Sherezada Melendez Carpio
Pucallpa, Peru, South America

Agnihotra and Tendinitis2024–I am 68 years old. A little over a year ago I entered EsSalud (social insurance hospital) to do Tai Chi, because I was sick. However, lately my problem has gotten worse.

First, I had the problem of tendonitis in my shoulders. At the very beginning, I had consultations with private physicians. I had private therapies, but I did not get better. Then, since I had no more money, I went to EsSalud, which is the state social insurance. Here, I started practicing Yoga and Tai Chi, but my problem was getting worse. I took many pills and other things, but I was not cured; I got worse. I could hardly move my left arm; I could no longer do Tai Chi with this arm.

At this time, Homa Therapy Teachers Abel Hernandez and Aleta Macan arrived at EsSalud here in Pucallalpa. I listened to them every day. I saw many testimonies. I took the Agnihotra ash and then got my Agnihotra kit. Now I am starting to practice this healing technique. But already on the third day of consuming the Agnihotra ash, I realized that I could do the complete Tai Chi practices. Now, it hurts very little, compared to how I was, when I could not use this arm. Now I feel great.

I am very grateful that this therapy came into my life and that many of us can take advantage of it. Apart from that, I have a lot of medicines that EsSalud gave me, but I do not take anything, I am only consuming the Agnihotra ash 3 times a day, and I am really happy!

Agnihotra and Chronic Pain Reduction Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN)

Agnihotra and Chronic Pain Reduction Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN)Isabel Newcomb
Virginia, USA

August, 2025–A week ago, while visiting my son’s house in Madison, Virginia, I listened to a conversation between two people. I approached one of the gentlemen and asked about the healing fire he mentioned.

I had shingles five years ago, and I suffer from post-herpetic neuralgia. The pain was unbearable. I have seen 18 doctors (neurologists, anesthesiologists, pain management, geriatric, internal medicine, psychologists, dermatologists, and Chinese alternative medicine doctors), but they didn’t help me.

I also sought the help of acupuncture, acupressure, reiki, a shaman, an osteopath, a CBD specialist, massage therapy, silent retreats at a monastery, prayer groups, monks, spinal block, and Botox injections on my back.

I have tried prescribed medicine, over-the-counter pain killers, patches, Chinese herbs, marijuana leaves tea (I bought two plants and my family frowned on me), and CBD. I fasted and tried several diets, plus laser lights, electrical stimulation, etc.

For the previous seven months I had “vegetated.” I was only able to get up in the morning and walk my dog five or six times a day, sometimes at 3:00 a.m., because walking was the only thing that helped me with the pain. I do not take any medicine or over-the-counter pain killers. I would rather live with pain than deal with side effects.

The gentleman I approached at my son’s house sent me a little book, “Light Towards Divine Path” and as I read it, I saw the words that my late brother had been sharing with me all my life. (I found out later that my brother had done Agnihotra for many years.) I reflected on what I was reading—love and love towards our fellow man.

The gentleman called me the next day and told me he had made an appointment for me with Lisa Powers. I went to her house and she shared a presentation on Agnihotra with me and answered my questions. She invited me to her home for the sunset healing fire.

Lisa and I both did Agnihotra on her porch, and we sat for a while afterwards. For part of the time we sat, I was pain free!

The next day I went to the Parama Dham fire temple for the sunrise healing fire. For several days I went to Lisa’s home for the sunset Agnihotra and to the temple for the sunrise Agnihotra.

After three days, I was able to sleep! This was a blessing because I have spent my nights walking and in pain. The pain also became bearable and manageable (from 10 it is now level 3 or 4.)

I am very grateful because I am able to live my life again. I have energy, I can take care of my son’s home and help with his dogs. I am able to cook my meals and be on my own for the first time in five years— and I am no longer imposing on my family. I am a very independent person and like to take care of others.

To me, it is short of a miracle how my life has changed this past week. I am myself again.

   Dra. Lilibeth Villamizar writes:
Mr. Víctor Mariano, 93 years old, was not lucid or clear-minded, he did not listen well and he did not speak well. He was urinating in bed and could not sleep at night.
On Saturday, three days ago, he came to my office and participated in Agnihotra. Now, he is sleeping well. He bathes by himself. He already speaks. He even says his full name and one can talk with him. He has improved his senile dementia.
Today, he is attending Homa Therapy for the second time.
   The doctors had prescribed him sleeping pills, but he was so unstable that he was given two pills but still, he could not sleep. Continue reading “Víctor Mariano | Senile Dementia, Insomnia”
