"The phrase wise beyond his years comes to mind for Juan. Every interaction I have with him I learn, grow and am inspired. He delivers wisdom with ease and delight that it is a true joy to be in his presence. I am honored and privileged to call him one of my teachers. Experience the beauty of this man, he will enhance your life." Julian Devoe, August 9, 2013.
"I'm writing this testimonial from a rather unique position, because I no longer practice kundalini yoga. Several years ago, I left the more oriental path, to pursue Kabbalistic studies and practice.
However, while I no longer do kundalini yoga proper, I use the techniques that Juan taught me in every aspect of my practice. More than anything else, he taught me how to move and focus energy through my body, as well as the fundamentals of visualization, which are essential to all of the practical work I am doing today. I may not use the Manipura chakra, or the Shushumna channel anymore, but when I focus energy into the Sphere of Tiphareth, and ascend the middle pillar of the Kabbalistic tree of life, I use the basic energy work skills I learned from Juan. The methods he taught me, such as qi gong, tantric yoga, or the Five Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation, are designed to awaken kundalini energy and they helped me in that process. Juan has a great charisma and gift, I recommend him highly." Ellis Wilder, February 27, 2013.
"I am Mario Bernal, Juan’s grandfather. I am 83 years old, and I practice gymnastics every day, which I learned from American, European, and Asian countries. I maintain good physical and mental health.
Four years ago, during a vacation, my grandson Juan was practicing exercises involving concentration, breathing, and meditation in the garden of a country house, full of flowers and fruit trees. Helena, my wife and Juan’s grandmother, and I noticed his physical and mental tranquility following his exercises. We took note of his balanced mood and mental attitude after his practice. We became his students for a few hours during the days we spent together. We learned to seek inner equilibrium, combining breathing with movement and thought.
Grounding is something that I specifically enjoyed learning, and I still practice it to this day. I place my feet on the ground (the Earth), inhale and exhale, and feel like a living being, forming part of Nature, which surrounds us. I feel my feet “growing roots” and this gives me greater security and sustenance, a mental and physical balance, which helps me to keep calm, serene, safe and confident to carry on my daily activities."

Testimonio original en español: "Soy Mario Bernal, el abuelo de Juan. Tengo 83 años, y practico gimnasia todos los días. Las técnicas han sido aprendidas de países americanos, europeos y asiáticos. Me conservo en buenas condiciones físicas y mentales.
Hace unos cuatro años, en periodo de vacaciones, mi Nieto Juan practicaba ejercicios de concentración, respiración y meditación, en el jardín de una casa campestre, con árboles, flores y frutales. Lo observábamos con atención, la abuela Helena (de 78 años, también en buenas condiciones ) y yo. Notábamos su tranquilidad física y anímica al final de sus ejercicios.
Fuimos sus alumnos por algunas horas, y aprendimos a buscar un equilibrio interior combinando la respiración con los movimientos y el pensamiento. Algo que practico y me gusta es poner los pies en el suelo, (la tierra), inhalar, expirar, y sentirme como un ser vivo, formando parte de la naturaleza que me rodea. Siento que mis píes hacen crecer "raíces" Y me dan una mayor sustentación y seguridad; un equilibrio mental y físico el cual me ayuda a mantenerme sereno y seguro para las actividades cotidianas.
Juan le ha quitado a la abuela Helena, dolores de cabeza y de articulaciones traspasándole su energía con la palma de sus manos. También le ha ayudado a dormir con mayor paz, profundidad, y comodidad." Mario Bernal, 7 de marzo del 2013.

About Reiki treatments & classes.
"Simply put, Juan has a healing energy. The Reiki and attunement sessions I've experienced with him have been extremely powerful. He has told me things that have stuck with me for a very long time, and I am grateful to have crossed paths with a man that was gifted with a healing touch and powerful presence. This is an experience that is most definitely worth anyone's time." Erica Hirsch, March 27, 2013.
"My introduction to the knowledge of Reiki occurred in the Spring of 2008 through my friend Juan Bernal. This experience, like the beginning of most stories, seemed to be unremarkable, yet I could sense there was a subtle awakening occurring in my spirit. Juan's advice to me in this moment was that the strength of my belief will determine the effects of the energy that passes between us. The emotions that Juan's tuning and wisdom aroused in me provided me with the promise of a more vibrant experience, and I feel that in receiving my attunement I was being shown a path - a way to think - that would serve me well in life. Since meeting Juan in 2006 he has always been a good friend and a profound mentor, and I am grateful for all the conversations and times we have had together. Juan's understanding has been a guiding light in my search for meaning, purpose, and inner-strength." Sean McCarthy, March 21, 2013.
"I am Helena de Bernal, Juan’s 78 year old grandmother, and I also keep myself in good health. Juan has eliminated joint pain for me, as well as relieved me from headaches by transmitting energy from the palms of his hands. The techniques I learned from him also allow me to fall asleep faster, easier, and more comfortably than before." Helena de Bernal, March 7, 2013.
