Similarities and Differences: Pranic Healing & Reiki

REIKI is an excellent healing modality that has helped many people, primarily through teaching those with little or no healing experience, to access healing energies to support themselves and their loved ones. According to the REIKI Masters who have attended PRANIC HEALING classes (over 500 REIKI Masters have attended PRANIC HEALING classes since 1990 in the United States alone), as well as own observations as a teacher and a healer, here are some of the significant differences between PRANIC HEALING and REIKI:

1. PRANIC HEALING is a complete non-touch system of healing. REIKI practitioners often touch the body but employ some non-touch techniques.
2. PRANIC HEALING teaches its students to “scan,” or feel the aura, to assess areas of energy depletion, congestion, or stagnation, which helps identify problem areas that need healing. REIKI uses no energy assessment technique but relies on the practitioners’ intuition.
3. PRANIC HEALING employs a manual cleansing technique called “sweeping” to remove blockages and stagnant energies before giving fresh energy to the patient; REIKI has no comparable technique. PRANIC HEALING believes cleansing is critical to the healing process because diseased energies and negative emotions must be removed before energizing the body, or they may manifest physically through vomiting, loose bowel movement, rash, flu, or other symptoms. Such expelling is often labeled as a “detoxification.” However, it is pretty uncomfortable and can be prevented with proper cleansing. In fact, cleansing itself by permitting fresh energy to penetrate deeper into the body for healing.
4. PRANIC HEALING employs a “cookbook” approach to healing. According to thousands of case reports gathered by the founder of PRANIC HEALING, Grand Master Choa Kok Sui, every ailment produces a unique set of energy patterns that can be identified in the energy body’s 11 major chakras and numerous meridians. REIKI has essentially one energy technique – facilitating the flow of REIKI energy into whatever area needs healing to address all health problems. PRANIC HEALING, by contrast, uses specific energetic routines of cleansing and energizing that are matched to the specific patterns of energetic deficiencies caused by a particular illness. Thus, PRANIC HEALING offers a quicker, more targeted, and more effective healing system.
5.  PRANIC HEALING teaches its practitioners to draw the energy directly from the sun, air, ground, and other natural sources and then project this prana into their subject’s auras. REIKI practitioners must be “initiated” by a REIKI Master and given “symbols” to access the healing energies. It’s similar to having to obtain a “password.” PRANIC HEALING employs simple breathing and visualization exercises that allow anyone to heal immediately with minimal instruction.
6. PRANIC HEALING includes a practice called “energetic hygiene” that is rarely found in any healing modality, including REIKI. Energetic hygiene is a set of practices – breathing, dietary recommendations, and other cleansing routines, designed to keep your energy tank clean and full. REIKI Masters attending PRANIC HEALING classes agree that energy hygiene is one of the greatest benefits of the class, particularly the techniques that enable them to cleanse themselves of contaminating energy they pick up from clients and how to prevent subjects or negative people from draining their lives forces. This is particularly important for REIKI practitioners and other healthcare providers because they frequently experience their subjects’ pain or ailment and become drained after healing someone.
7. PRANIC HEALING employs colour energies that dramatically accelerate the body’s innate healing abilities. Many REIKI Masters often say that if a subject, who wants immediate relief or rapid healing, they use PRANIC HEALING – notably, the colored pranic techniques. But, if they have a subject who simply wants a relaxing and soothing session, they use REIKI.

In summary, both PRANIC HEALING and REIKI are excellent healing modalities and help alleviate pain and suffering. However, PRANIC HEALING gives you the tools to produce faster and more immediate results while “immunizing” you against contamination from the people you are healing.

PRANIC HEALING complements any healing modalities. We always tell everyone whatever your healing technique – shamanism, Native American techniques, Chinese chi kung, REIKI, massage therapy, chiropractic, Christian laying on of hands, and even traditional orthodox medicine – PRANIC HEALING will complement and enhance it. We are here together to help create health and happiness for all.
