Abstract

Psychosomatic disorders (PD) stem from complex interactions among the central nervous system, endocrine system, and immune system. Prolonged stress and psychological turmoil trigger the release of stress hormones like cortisol, which negatively impact immune function, inflammation, and the body's balance. Consequently, physical symptoms arise due to psychological influences, including chronic pain, digestive issues, or respiratory problems. This paper presents two cases of women, close family members, who suffered PD due to toxic home environment, and sought YPV healing. Multiple case study method is used in this study by collecting data from the subjects, and their YPV Trainer- healer’s records. It is found that both subjects were healed of their physical and mental health issues successfully by their Trainer-healer. They sought and received training to become YPV healers themselves with a view to self-healing and healing others to serve the society at large. It is concluded that the YPV system is playing a key role as a platform for complete recovery from physical health and mental health issues, and further personality and spiritual development of women, and men, who suffer psychosomatic disorders due to toxic home environment and vulnerability. Such people are motivated to become trained healers and serve the society to uplift others. Thus, they see a higher purpose in life fulfilled. Further studies with appropriate samples and methodology are highly recommended.
