Can Meditation Cure Tinnitus?

Tinnitus primarily arises when the flow of vital energy (qi) reaches the area of the ear faculty but becomes obstructed. When one sits in meditation and the mind quiets down, the flow of qi becomes smooth and unobstructed, the ear faculty is no longer blocked, and the tinnitus phenomenon will disappear. Alternatively, one should first identify the cause of the tinnitus. If it is due to kidney deficiency, it is necessary to simultaneously address and regulate the kidney deficiency issue. Then, consume black-colored foods to tonify the kidneys and practice "swaying like the ocean" while sitting. For kidney deficiency, one can also visualize the light of the Buddha shining upon the kidney area, expelling dark energy. One's own mental focus is crucial; with good meditative concentration, the power of focused intention becomes strong. If the qi is obstructed at the back of the head, while sitting in meditation, one should recite the Medicine Buddha mantra and visualize the Buddha's light touching the back of the head, golden Buddha light entering, while dark and grey energy exits, causing the tinnitus to disappear.
