What Yulya was experiencing
Yulya describes several health problems and feeling depressed, in her own words. Singing was another important concern: despite studying for a long time, she felt her voice was quiet and closed off — 00:00–00:20. She names no medical diagnosis; closed off describes her experience of her voice.
Other specialists and dietary changes
During the programme, Yulya began meeting people she considers important to the changes: psychotherapists, doctors who worked with herbal treatments, dietitians and a voice teacher. She says she changed her diet and began feeling better — 00:20–00:43.
She does not describe her diet, tests or prescriptions. She received help from several specialists during this period. The review cannot establish each person’s contribution or provide a treatment plan to follow.
What she reports about painful periods
Yulya says that for many months the pain was severe enough to interfere with speaking, going out and everyday tasks. She describes earlier consultations as not providing a suitable solution — 00:43–01:26. This is her perception of those consultations; no medical records were supplied.
She then discusses the most recent month, when her period passed almost unnoticed. She says she felt less afraid of the next cycle and freer to plan trips — 01:26–02:00. This is a report about one cycle, not evidence of a lasting cure or the cause of improvement.
Period pain that disrupts everyday activities is a reason to see a doctor. Yulya’s comment about stopping visits is not advice to avoid assessment. NHS information about period pain.
A new teacher and ongoing lessons
Yulya recalls pain when singing loudly and feeling that the voice did not sound like her own. During the programme she met a teacher who, she says, helped her hear it differently in the very first lesson: light, free and loud — 02:01–02:45.
At recording, Yulya was continuing lessons with that teacher and enjoying being able to devote herself to music — 02:46–03:01. Work on her voice has an identified contributor here and continues separately from the spiritual programme.
Pain or difficulty using your voice should be discussed with a doctor, including an ENT specialist when appropriate. A singing lesson does not establish the cause of symptoms. NIDCD guidance on voice care.

Hello! I took part in Alexander Zharkov’s practice and would like to share my results a month and a half later.
- 00:07
I came to him with several health problems and feeling quite depressed. My voice also felt completely blocked. I had studied singing for a long time, but my voice felt completely closed off.
- 00:20
During the practice, miracles began happening: I started meeting people, one after another, who changed my life.
- 00:28
They were psychotherapists, doctors who worked with herbal treatments, dietitians and, finally, a teacher who helped me explore my voice.
- 00:36
I came to understand my [one word about eating is unclear], changed my diet completely and now feel wonderful.
- 00:43
Another health problem bothered me most and made me feel very depressed. My periods were so painful that I could barely speak, let alone go out or do anything.
- 01:00
This went on for many months. [The phrase about previous consultations is partly unclear.] That it was within the normal range, that I would take painkillers all my life and nothing could be changed.
- 01:15
But I always felt that was nonsense: it could not and should not be that way. I knew I would find a way through and cope with the situation.
- 01:26
In the most recent month, my period passed almost unnoticed. It was a complete shock: that had never happened before, and I did not feel anything.
- 01:40
I am glad I no longer have to sit worrying and count down the days until my period and that nightmare start. I can go places, travel and enjoy life without thinking about it.
- 01:56
Most importantly, my endless visits to doctors have stopped.
- 02:01
I also want to share changes in my voice. For years I had gone to different teachers. My voice was very quiet and I could not sing loudly; it was painful.
- 02:13
It felt as though none of the teachers heard that, and I could not understand how that was possible. It felt as if it was not my voice at all, not me.
- 02:26
During the practice I met a teacher who helped me hear my real voice in the very first lesson. I was so shocked that I cried with happiness.
- 02:40
It was completely different: light, free, loud and very beautiful.
- 02:46
I continue voice practice with her and feel I am progressing incredibly quickly. These practices make me feel fulfilled and give me energy. I am very happy I can finally devote myself to music as I always wanted.
- 03:02
I am deeply grateful to Alexander Zharkov because my life is now completely different. I recommend the practice to anyone who needs it, because real miracles await you there.
