A flick of hand can cure you

How would you respond if I told you about a therapy that can tell you about ailments before they happen, just by scanning your body’s energy field, without actually touching you? Your first reaction would be of disbelief. After all, in this age and time, this sounds straight from a mumbo-jumbo flick. Hold your guns before jump to a conclusion. The therapy called Pranic healing is an ancient science and art of healing that utilizes prana or life energy to heal the whole physical body. Unusual though such information may seem, it is well documented in ancient Indian scriptures, such as the Taittiriya Upanishad, which deals with the body and its five layers.

Today, many doctors too are recommending their patients to get a dose of this healing as an adjunct to conventional healing.

The energy of life force is recognized in many other cultures and known by different names such as Chi in Chinese, Ki in Japanese, Mana in Polynesian, Pneuma in Greek, and Ruah in Hebrew. The main sources of prana, available in abundance, are air, sun, earth and the Divine. Prana can be projected to another person for healing. In fact, we all experience prana around us all the time, but we don’t register it. Go back to the memory of walking bare feet on dew-kissed blades of grass. It invigorates. So, are the first rays of sun when it touches your body, which means that these are imbued with natural energies and enliven you each time you come across it.

Like most of the alternative healing practices, Pranic healing is based on two fundamental laws:

The law of self-recovery: The body in general has the capacity to heal itself.
The law of life force or prana: For life to exist, the body must have prana or life energy. The healing process can be accelerated by increasing life energy on the affected part(s) and on the entire body.

How the healing system works

Yulia Pal, Pranic Healer with Delhi based MCKS Pranic Healing Center, says, “According to pranic healing, disease first appears in the energy body before rooting itself in the physical body. Any blockage, excessive build up of energy or depletion of it prevents prana (life-force energy) from flowing easily. This results in corresponding problems for the physical body. In this no-touch therapy, the healer transfers energy to heal the patient’s invisible energy body, which interpenetrates the physical body and extends a few inches from the skin’s surface.”

“Pranic healing is complements conventional therapy and does not supplant it,” informs she.

She got converted to this science of healing in March 1997. Over the period of time, the hobby grew into profession.

In today’s date most of us are afflicted with stress, and Pranic healing can help you manage stress. Master Choa Kok Sui, founder of Pranic healing says, “Stress is energy, and this energy is real. Thoughts are real. Negative thoughts, emotions dirty stress. What we call stress is our negative reaction to a taxing situation.”

To keep stress in control Yulia suggests to, “Bathe with warm water, salt, and use of lavender oil.”

What should you expect in a healing?

Pranic Healing session lasts approximately 1 hour. This can vary: some healers heal very fast, some healers heal very slowly. The speed of healing is not an indicator of healer’s skills.

The client can sit in a chair or may lie down, during a session of healing. He/ She should try to maintain a relaxed and receptive state during the session. It is better to wear loose garments made from natural fibers. Sometimes we can advise him to practice a simple form of pranayam (pranic breathing) intermittently or do a meditation.

What does the healer do?

• The healer scans the energy body of the client. Scanning is detection of the condition the energy body, its chakras and meridians, and the whole aura with the hands. It is non-touch and it allows to see energy disbalances (in the form of energy congestion, depletion, over- and under-activity of chakras, etc.). The hands of a Pranic healer are very sensitive and they serve him as the “eyes” to see the inner realities.
• After scanning, the healer performs general cleansing of the aura in order to remove diseased energy, strengthen the health rays and to close holes and breaks that may be present.
• He does localized cleansing, energizing and balancing of the affected chakras and organs and overall balancing of the entire energy body. The healer continuously re-checks the results of her work by repeated scanning of the chakras/body.
• The session is ended with balancing the whole aura.

Pranic healing versus Reiki

Yulia explains, “In Reiki, your channel is opened by a Reiki Master and you start using your hands for laying them on certain points of the client’s body. The healer works only with the Reiki Energy, which is a bit slow.” Again, Reiki does not have techniques like scanning, general sweeping, localized sweeping, healing with color pranas, etc. In the modern Reiki these techniques are borrowed from Pranic Healing. “The practitioners do not recognize the factor of contamination from diseased energy either in Reiki,” she concludes.
