Positive Health Online

Most of us have some knowledge and perhaps even experience of traditional methods of healing diseases. Far more dramatic are the stories in every religion – Hinduism, Buddhism, Sufism, Christianity – of miraculous cures at the touch of a hand or even without touch from a distance. Science had scoffed with great cynicism at these stories, which have come down the ages. But more recently, science has gradually begun to accept such phenomena as a new interpretation of Einstein's famous equation, which simply states that all matter is energy. Modern science has discovered that sub-atomic particles such as protons, neutrons, electrons, etc are not merely solid particles but also vibrations of energy. Though this understanding may be relatively new to science, it is an age-old heritage for mankind. For thousands of years, the Chinese have regarded the human body and indeed, everything else – as energy. They call this energy Qi. The ancient Greeks called this energy Pneuma and the Romans called it Spiritus, the Hebrew – Ruah. In the forefront of this energy based healing is a simple yet sophisticated technology called Pranic Healing.

What is Pranic Healing?

Pranic Healing is a highly effective and tested system of energy based healing technique that utilizes 'Prana' to balance, harmonize and correct the body's energy imbalances. This happens not only physically but also mentally and emotionally. The term 'Prana' is an Indian Sanskrit term meaning 'life force' or 'vital energy'. Nature is a rich source of 'Prana', which comes from the sun, the air and the earth. Pranic Healing is based on the fundamental principle that the body is a 'self-repairing' living entity that possesses the innate ability to heal itself. Pranic Healing works on the principle that increasing the life force or vital energy on the affected part of the physical body accelerates the healing process.

How Pranic Healing Influences the Natural 'Life Force'

We have all had certain experiences with 'vital energy' or 'vitality'; but were unaware as to what actually was bothering us. All of us use elevators regularly but there are times when we get into them and almost instantaneously feel fidgety or feel as though others around are encroaching upon our space. We just wonder what's wrong and get on with the day. We also encounter people whose presence makes us feel energized and cheerful. Unfortunately the opposite is also true – some people's mere presence makes us feel tired and drained. One of the reasons for this is, when a person has a lot of excess positive 'Prana' they tend to make us feel livelier and better, whereas when somebody's energies are very low they tend to make us feel tired, as they absorb our 'vital energy'. The most common of all is the dull and gloomy weather. People fall sick not only due to the change in temperatures but also due to the lack of sunlight or solar prana and air prana. Many people become susceptible to infectious diseases; they also tend to become physically sluggish. This can be consciously counteracted by absorbing 'vital energy' from the ground or the air.

How is Pranic Healing supported scientifically?

Scientists have now recognized that there are four states of matter – solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. The word 'bio-plasma' comes from 'bio' meaning life and 'plasma', which is the fourth state of matter. Plasma is ionized gas or gas with positive and negative energies. This bio-plasmic body or electro-magnetic field is commonly known as the 'Aura'. This bio-plasmic body that surrounds and interpenetrates the physical body called the 'etheric' body, is responsible for maintaining vitality, good health and well being at all levels. This body contains the mould and blue print of the physical body. The bio-plasmic body and the physical body are so closely related that if one gets affected, it affects the other also. Diseases first appear as energetic disruptions in the energy field before manifesting as ailments in the physical body. The etheric body absorbs, assimilates and distributes energy via centres called 'Chakras'. These vortices of energy called Chakras control various individual organs, glands and structures of the body ensuring optimum function, health and vitality.

What does a Treatment Involve?

Treatments start by settling the patient into a comfortable seated position. The receptivity of the patient accelerates healing. It has been noticed that babies and animals respond very quickly to the healing.

The basic and most important principles of Pranic Healing are 'scanning – cleansing – energizing'. The healer scans the bio-plasmic field or aura of the patient and then focuses on particular areas that need specific treatment. Most people feel very relaxed, peaceful and calm when the diseased, dirty and stagnant energy is removed and the body is energized with the fresh vital energy.

How Quickly do you See the Results?

With simple conditions results can be felt instantaneously. For long term and chronic conditions, the response is slightly longer but when used in conjunction with other conventional techniques (Acupuncture, Homeopathy, Naturopathy, Western medicine etc), the healing time could be reduced. There are hundreds of documented testimonials from people worldwide as to the efficacy of Pranic Healing. This is one of the reasons why this form of energy healing is rapidly revolutionizing health care and spreading all over the world. In India alone over the last six years, more than 200,000 have learnt and are practising the art and science of Pranic Healing.

Is Pranic Healing only for Physical Health?

Of course not! Pranic Healing is much more than just physical well-being. When we learn about energy and how to feel it, we realize that everything has energy, not only every person, but also each place has a certain type of energy – our homes, offices, places of worship, even objects have energy. The possibilities are unlimited when we realize that everything has energy, and learn to work in harmony with it. We can 'heal' the energy of our homes and change the atmosphere or ambience, make it more harmonious and peaceful; we can 'heal' the energy of an office to aid in greater teamwork and to make the environment more dynamic; we can 'heal' the energy of a meeting to make it productive. Pranic Healers around the world have started using Pranic Healing for their businesses, homes, and relationships, on projects, for academic studies with fantastic results.

Background and Origins of Pranic Healing System

The systematic approach used in the application of Pranic Healing has been devised throughout over thirty years of research by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui in the field of healing. Grandmaster Choa Kok Sui is a Chinese Filipino scientist, educator and philanthropist. He had embarked on a study of all the major traditions, cultures and practices of energy healing from all countries (Egyptian, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Polynesian etc) and finally adopted the Indian concept of 'Prana' as the most potent form of energy healing. For Master Choa Kok Sui, it was a voyage of exploration and re-discovery that culminated in a disciplined set of powerful techniques of energy healing which was named Pranic Healing.

Meditation on Twin Hearts for Peace and Illumination

Pranic Healing includes an advanced and dynamic meditation called the Meditation on Twin Hearts for Peace and Illumination. This Meditation is a technique developed to achieve spiritual growth and illumination. The 'Twin Hearts' refer to the Heart and Crown energy centres. When these energy centres are sufficiently activated, one experiences divine love and oneness with all. As we become a channel of divine energy and bless the earth with loving kindness, peace, joy and prosperity, we in turn receive healing and divine blessings. Regular meditation leads to rapid spiritual growth, enhanced connection with our soul (or Divine Nature), increased intuition and greater healing abilities. Balance is achieved at all levels, mentally, emotionally and physically.

Personal Testimonials by the Authors

Meera Venkatesan

In 1994, after series of blackout spells, I was diagnosed with 'photosensitive epilepsy'. Soon thereafter, at the office, I got sharp pains in the abdomen and a scan revealed kidney stones. Even after two operations, the recurrence of symptoms left me feeling tired and depressed all the time. It was during this time that I read an article on Pranic Healing and decided to do the course to learn the technique. People from all walks of life – housewives, professionals, doctors, and retired people attended the course. Immediately, after the course, I started using the techniques along with the Meditation on Twin Hearts. I found myself feeling more energetic and cheerful and to my utter astonishment, the pain disappeared gradually and totally and my epilepsy has significantly decreased. Having benefited from this system of healing, I felt an overwhelming desire to create an awareness about Pranic Healing to many who are suffering silently so that they could also be empowered with this simple yet powerful healing methodology.

Meera is a close disciple of Master Choa Kok Sui and is a Pranic Healing Instructor for the UK. She has been practising Pranic Healing since 1999.

Vidya Rajagopalan

In my early 20s and married for only 10 months I had just joined my ex-husband in the US when life struck a cruel blow. I was devastated when a couple of policemen came home to give me the news that my ex-husband had met with a fatal accident. Thousands of miles from home, family and friends, I had nobody to turn to for solace or comfort. At this juncture, a well-wisher who was into Pranic Healing, introduced me to the Meditation on Twin Hearts. After the first Meditation, a strange calmness descended over me. Gradually with regular meditation and distance healing, I found tremendous strength and courage to face life ahead and deal with the pain. I thank Almighty God and my well-wisher for showing me a way down this path.
