I’m never a Yoga person, and having suffered from cluster headache for 20 years with no successful medications so far, I did have my doubts when a friend made me go to Eka. I didn’t say much on the first meeting, and Eka just told me to lie down and sleep. He put his hands on my head and after 30 minutes of awkward-sleep-pretending, he’s able to tell what’s going on inside my head, surprisingly, without me feeling judged. He told me to write down or doodle my thoughts out, and told me to come again next week. He never asked to see what I wrote or draw, and we repeated the process for the next 5 weeks. Up until now I still didn’t know what exactly he did to my head. I just noticed that I was able to sleep soundly on the third session onwards, and that my headache pain duration reduced slowly until it was completely gone. He told me I was as tense as a tree trunk on the first session, but began to soften bit by bit every week. If you have heard of cluster headache, you will know that it’s one of the worst possible pain known to medical science, and I spent 20 years going through that while being angry and desperate. With Eka, I learned to breathe slower, to accept my pain and to make peace with myself. Love you, Eka!
