Marco's Story
Marco shares his powerful story on sleep deprivation and how the Master Oh energy treatments changed his life and helped him to sleep better
In 2000, I was working long hours and evening shifts whilst studying in London. I was really run down and as I had saved enough money I decided to give up work to concentrate wholly on my degree. In the 2/3 weeks after finishing work, I was sleeping long hours every night which my body obviously needed and then all of a sudden one night I just stopped sleeping. From then on I was unable to sleep at all during the night, not even for one hour. This would last for 3 to 4 nights in a row until I would simply collapse and pass out for a few hours. As time went by the number of nights I wasn’t sleeping increased and the pattern got worse and worse until I became someone who simply did not sleep at all and I felt like I was slowly going mad.
"I was completely physically and mentally broken"
Most people with insomnia get a few hours sleep each night but I wasn’t even getting a single hour night after night and this lasted for 2 years. I was completely physically and mentally broken.
I went to see the doctor, who said I must be depressed and referred me to a psychiatrist, who suggested swimming and aerobic exercise. I tried, but still no change. After more time, more months and no sleep I went to see another doctor who prescribed anti-depressants. Still I wasn’t sleeping a wink. It took 3 months of trying different cocktails of drugs until I was on such an extremely high dosage that it was not so much that I was able to sleep it felt more like I was losing consciousness.
I now had a different problem which was the side effects of the medication which I felt were nearly killing me. I was like a zombie. I couldn’t focus or concentrate or remember anything.
I was now faced with two choices. To stay on medication, which gave me no life or to come off medication with the prospect of no sleep. I began trying other therapies such as acupuncture, meditation, healing but nothing worked. I still didn’t sleep.
Master Oh Energy Treatment
Eventually In 2007 I came across Master Oh at a health exhibition and received a energy treatment. I had fallen in the bath and at that time had a broken rib, which was very painful. I received a 15 minute energy treatment and the effect was immediate. That night for the first time in many years I slept for 7 hours and woke up refreshed. Not only that but the pain in my side had gone. No-one can imagine how incredible that was or how incredible that felt after such a long time.
Insomnia and Lack of Energy
Master Oh explained that insomnia affects those who are very short of energy. Often these people can look energetic because the body creates heat/ fire energy to compensate which comes over as ‘nervous energy’. When someone is very short of energy, the body cannot relax. The energy channels easily become blocked or knotted. Heat (fire energy) then accumulates in the upper body creating tension, anxiety and symptoms such as high blood pressure or headaches. In the case of insomnia the depletion of energy means the entire body’s systems cannot recuperate properly. The body needs energy to rest and repair itself at night time. The more blocked the energy channels and the more short of energy the person is the worse the problems become.
Master Oh said my battery was completely flat which I could believe and my energy channels were entirely blocked and it was true that during the treatment I could feel the pain and tension all over.
Master Oh Qi Classes
I enrolled in the Qi classes, an ancient martial arts technique for self-healing and personal development. The classes involved meditation, chanting and slow movements designed to realign and recharge the energy system. I felt better and better, stronger and stronger and most of all I was sleeping again. I also took part in a programme to heal inherited energy patterns and since then I have had no problems with my sleep at all. My life has entirely changed.
