To heal:
- To restore to health or soundness; cure.
- To ease or relieve (emotional distress).
- To set right; repair.
The mission of Vida Lotus is to heal the world through lifestyle education. Vida means “life” or “lifestyle”, and Lotus refers to the flower that symbolizes natural beauty, purity and balance. We have chosen an eight-petaled lotus flower as our logo because the path to wellness has nine parts… one part for each petal plus the central part.
The Vida Lotus Foundation provides free information through this Web site and other channels so that everyone can heal from physical, mental and emotional illness. Our founder, Michael Ducharme, has been providing free healing services for more than four decades.
Michael researched and developed the healing system called Vida Lotus beginning at the age of four. His initial motivation was his older brother’s migraines. Two nuns were instrumental in helping Michael along his journey to learn about human health and healing: Michael’s aunt, Sister Jane Ducharme, and her best friend Sister Linda Dube. Sister Jane helped Michael acquire many books and encyclopedias, and shared the techniques that she invented to help alleviate the stress of those around her, while Sister Linda taught Michael the Scientific Method, perhaps the most important lesson he ever learned.
Michael became obsessed with discovering the cure of migraines to help his beloved older brother Stephen, whom Michael idolized. Michael read all of the books and encyclopedias that he could find. Sadly, none of these provided an appropriate solution. But Sister Linda encouraged Michael to utilize the Scientific Method to find the migraine cure that was waiting to be discovered. In fact, more than one billion people worldwide suffer from migraines, and Sister Linda was one of them.
After spending many years researching all of the literature, and conducting countless experiments, Michael discovered that most of the methods described in the books and articles actually made matters worse. He began testing the methods that Sister Jane had invented, which were mild and gentle compared to the harsh, painful techniques recommended by others. He added some more gentle techniques that he invented on his own, and tested them on family members and friends during several years. He, and his “patients” were amazed when the migraines and headaches disappeared within minutes of using just five gentle techniques, which take just fifteen minutes to complete.
Michael was determined to share this information with the entire world, beginning with his family in Canada. What follows is a video depicting the five gentle techniques that Michael has used for decades to relieve stress and pain including migraines from thousands of people. In addition, Michael has taught his technique to hundreds of students, each of whom was able to use these techniques to relieve the stress and pain of their loved ones on their very first attempt, proving that the ability to heal is not some special ability that one must be born with, but rather a science that can be learned by anyone.
The five methods above are not Michael’s complete healing system, which comprises more than fifty parts. But these five movements are highly effective and easy to perform, so Michael decided to teach these five steps to the entire world, free of charge. Why free of charge? Because Michael believes that education should be free. More than a billion people are suffering, and many do not have the financial means to pay for a treatment or for an online course.
