Pranic Healing Explained

What is Pranic Healing?

Pranic Healing comes from two words: “prana,” which means vital energy, and “healing.” Pranic Healing is a no-touch and no-drug complementary therapy that uses prana to heal a wide range of physical and psychological ailments. Pranic Healing is acutely systematic and scientific, distinguishing it from other healing modalities. Through years of research, it was developed and synthesized by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui.

Pranic Healing is not only for people suffering from any illness but for everyone, even healthy people because it enables us to control our lives and improve every aspect through a scientific approach. It could be health, happiness, productivity at work, relationships, and even finances. You may read more about the applications of Pranic Healing on our website.

Pranic Healing works successfully with conditions ranging from the common cold, fever, back pain, asthma, heart trouble, hypertension, and arthritis to stress, traumas, phobias, depression, and other complicated health and psychological issues.

We must emphasize that Pranic Healing is a complementary healing approach. It is meant to enhance your medical treatment, not replace it.

How Old is Pranic Healing?

Pranic Healing was introduced by Master Choa Kok Sui in 1987. It is being practiced by people from across the world for over 36 years now.

Where did Pranic Healing originate?

Before modern medicine, people had other means of healing, which we have largely lost touch with. Many individuals knew energy healing techniques for preventing diseases and cure from several health conditions.  They studied health and healing in ways that addressed the whole person — physical, emotional, and spiritual being. Grand Master Choa Kok Sui, through years of experiments, synthesized the healing practices from various modalities available across the world to develop and create Pranic Healing.

Pranic Healing system has its roots within the ancient Indian system of yoga and the Chinese External Medical Chi Kung School. Pranic Healing in its existing form has been painstakingly, systematically, and scientifically developed, revealed, and globally taught by Master Choa Kok Sui. Along with committed participants, he spent several years experimenting to determine the effectiveness and mechanism of the healing techniques commonly known and used by healers and students of esoteric sciences.

Is Pranic Healing practiced extensively?

What is the difference between Pranic Healing and Reiki?

Aspiring learners of esoteric science often cannot differentiate between Pranic Healing and Reiki. Both of them are popular healing modalities of energy healing but aren’t the same. Pranic Healing and Reiki are excellent healing modalities and help alleviate pain and suffering, but there are differences between the two modalities as well. Several years ago, a detailed analysis of the two systems was presented by Master Pranic Healer Stephen Co (A direct disciple of Master Choa Kok Sui). You may read the analysis in our blog “Pranic Healing and Reiki: Is there a difference?”

Common Terminologies for Studying Pranic Healing and Concerns

What is Prana?

Prana is the vital energy or life force that keeps the body healthy and alive. In Chinese, it is called Chi; in Japanese, Ki; and in Sanskrit, Prana. There are three main sources of Prana: the air, the sun, and the ground.

What is the Energy Body?

The physical body comprises two parts: the visible physical body and the energy body, the etheric body, the bioplasmic body, or the aura, which is invisible. These two bodies are interconnected; it means what affects one also affects the other. This is known as the law of correspondence. Hence healing the energy body has substantial relief on the physical body.

What are Meridians? What are Chakras?

The energy body has energy channels, known as meridians, and energy centers, known as chakras. Chakras are like power plants that provide energy for the proper functioning of the body. Each chakra is responsible for controlling and energizing certain parts and organs of the physical body. If the chakras malfunction, they will adversely affect the proper functioning of the vital internal organs. Chakras, besides physical functions, also have psychological functions, which determine a person’s character.

How does Pranic Healing work?

Pranic Healing is based on two fundamental laws.

  1. The body has the potential and ability to heal and repair itself
  2. Life Energy (Referred to as Chi in China, Ki in Japan, Prana in India, and Ruah in the Bible) surrounds and permeates the physical body.

An individual’s healing capacity depends on how much Prana that person has. Therefore, boosting a person’s Life Force in the affected areas of the body increases the body’s self-recovery mechanism.

Pranic Healing is based on the principle of connection between the physical body and the energy body (or aura). One follows the other. For healing, we work on the energy body (particularly on the areas and Chakras affected by the ailment/disease) to accelerate the healing process.  Working systematically on the energy body creates a new pattern that supports and accelerates the body’s innate ability to heal.

Pranic Healing uses a cookbook approach for healing different ailments. There is a protocol (recipe) for anything from nose bleeds to coronary artery disease, trauma, and anxiety. These unique protocols help in producing tangible results in a short period. Pranic Healing involves scanning the human aura to detect imbalances of energies, known as energetic congestion and depletion. It then uses cleansing techniques to remove dirty, diseased, and used-up energies, followed by energizing techniques to improve energy flow and strengthen the aura and the chakras. Once the aura is balanced, clean, and strong, it improves the physical health of the individual owing to the law of correspondence. It means what affects the energy body affects the physical body and vice versa.

Is Pranic Healing scientific?

Yes, it is completely scientific. The techniques and applications of Pranic Healing are designed after extensive scientific research, experiments, and validation. Pranic Healing uses a cookbook approach to healing different ailments. There is a protocol (recipe) for anything from nose bleeds to coronary artery disease, trauma, and anxiety. These unique protocols help produce consistent and tangible results in a short period.

There are also many other kinds of research done in different fields of study, including medicine, massage therapy, psychology, agriculture, and architecture, using the teachings and principles of Pranic Healing. You may read about the research studies being conducted at the websites of the World Pranic Healing Foundation and the Pranic Healing Research Institute.

Does Pranic Healing have any side effects?

Healers are systematically guided to heal using the protocols. If the protocols provided in the books are followed properly, no side effects will occur. The protocols have been designed after thorough research and experiments to validate the effect of Pranic Healing on different ailments and the rate of their improvement.

Can Pranic Healing have any adverse effects on the healer?

Just as a medical practitioner takes care of his/her hygiene while treating patients, practitioners of Pranic Healing also maintain “energy hygiene.” It is one of the practices unique to the Pranic Healing system, where the healer is taught certain simple techniques to ensure that no “energy contamination” occurs while healing a patient. This ensures that the healer cannot get affected by the dirty or diseased energy of the patient as long as they follow the steps taught in the Pranic Healing workshops. Energy hygiene is one aspect that makes Pranic Healing unique compared to other energy-based modalities.
