As stated by @"Rakhi-Certified VK Teacher" in her post Hold VK and say VK please send LOVE SERUM TO THE WHOLE UNIVERSE. Say this thrice in one go and keep VK aside in a safe place for 30 min.

Gratitudes to @"Sharat Sir-VK Inventor" for VK, Cosmic Serums, and this forum to share our experiences and learnings.
