Research, experimentation, and positive results of energy healing have been recorded for thousands of years throughout history. The super subtle energetic life force used has been identified by various metaphysical names such as Prana (Hindu), Chi (Chinese), or Ruach (Hebrew), just to name a few. For the sake of simplicity, we will refer to this life force as Prana in the rest of this article. When we talk about using Prana for energy healing or as a substance, we are not referring to it as energy or substance similar to that produced mechanically, electrically, or gravitationally. For lack of better words, we are just using the words energy or substance to describe a natural force and non-material things. Though noble attempts have been made by forward-thinking scientists, no one has to invent instruments that can accurately measure or contain pranic energy. We cannot see it, but we can perceive its results through healing and by observing the life force in all beings. Similarly, we cannot see electricity, but we can perceive its results by the production of heat and light.

Where do we find prana? It is everywhere and contained in the air we breathe, the water we use, the food we eat, and within electromagnetic energy from the earth and other sources. Some may refer to Prana as the energy of God or as the Holy Spirit. Whatever we call it, it is the exact same universal substance that holds the worlds together and is the cause of life that manifests within each and every existing being. It is the community of all things, like a thread that holds together the pearls in a beautiful necklace. Because it is the impersonal energy of God, Prana, however subtle, is the most powerful non-dual substance there is. Prana has been found to be the healing factor, either within a pill or obtained and applied directly from universal forces. Jesus used Prana to heal the sick and raise the dead. Many know that Jesus, during his teens and twenties, traveled to faraway lands. There are many stories of the Messiah spending time in Egypt, the Middle East, Tibet, and India learning esoteric arts. One can only assume that he drank a lot of things, including developing healing powers. These very effective healing influences have only recently been rediscovered, in the last thirty years, by Master Choa Kak Sui. Master Choa developed a healing science that anyone can learn, with an open mind and sincere interest in helping others.

Pranic healing has been proven to help people heal from physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual problems. Because it is not only an art but also a science, the recipient does not need to have faith in the process, just a willingness to participate and a receptive attitude. A knowledgeable Pranic Healer is trained in how to collect the Prana and apply it to a myriad of medical abnormalities in a systematic way using techniques and protocols for specific health problems. The healer also realizes that Prana is contained in medicines, herbs, vitamins, specific diets and other conventional therapies so as not to interfere with regular medical care. The healer sees himself as an additional source of healing for someone suffering from medical problems. It is the aspiration of all Pranic Healers to create a safe, peaceful, loving and spiritual atmosphere for the bereaved and strives to be only humble service to God and humanity. The pranic healer lives a good, clean, humble and simple lifestyle. The pranic healer is not a renunciate per se, but lives within the ideals of a fully spiritual person.

There have been many books written on the subject of pranic healing by many teachers and practitioners in the world today. There is a vast encyclopedia of information on many types of healing modalities, conventional, traditional and esoteric. Pranic healing definitely falls into the esoteric category. The question may arise as to how one can practically use the most super subtle things for the benefit of humanity. Since this document is not a thesis project on the subject, I will give a brief summary of the techniques used to obtain this incredible healing energy. Like any professional discipline, Pranic Healing is learned by studying with experienced teachers. One must first become familiar with the physical and energetic anatomy. Experience in virtually any medical art will suffice, but an understanding of the meridians and/or nadis is particularly helpful in seeing how Prana circulates in the body and all organ systems. If one is a practicing spiritualist, yogi, or religious, then they have probably developed their intuitive powers to a great extent, which is important, as aura scanning is a skill one needs to become adept at. It will also be necessary to learn about the Chakra systems, which are the energetic power plants in the body that distribute Prana to different parts and organs of the physical and energetic bodies. These Chakras may become depleted or diseased energy may have built up causing congestion in the infected part of the body that corresponds to a particular Chakra. Simply put, the healer clears congestion or energizes exhaustion. It sounds pretty simple, but it’s actually not that easy. There is much training and practice for the aspiring pranic healer in order to do the healing correctly and effectively. This requires dedication, study and practice.

How does pranic healing work? As I mentioned earlier, God’s sacred healing energy, known as Prana, is gathered by the healer to use as energy medicine. The healer attends classes and retreats along with the daily practice of specific meditations and exercises that enhance the ability to gather and project healing energy effectively. The life of a dedicated practitioner is a life of prayer, blessings, and attunement to a Higher Power who is related to specific spiritual teachers, avatars, and ultimately God, in a line of master healers. Since Pranic Healing is non-denominational and not a religion or cult, practitioners can individually perceive within their own mind’s eye a form or non-form that they personally perceive to be God. No one has a problem with anyone’s faith because a pranic healer realizes that the Source of Prana comes from One Source which is known in unlimited forms and not forms, but is still the same One God.
