Prana
Prana is the Sanskrit word for life, energy or spirit. The art of pranic healing is a method in which the practitioner manipulates energy fields around the body in order to promote healing from within. This technique developed by Master Choa Kok Sui is part of a new age "energy medicine" field that has its roots in ancient Eastern tradition. According to Kok Sui, the body is a self-repairing living entity that possesses the innate ability to heal itself. Teachers and practitioners of pranic healing encourage individuals to learn the art so that they can practice it on themselves, family and friends. With a little study and a lot of practice, most anyone can master the technique of pranic healing.
The Technique
The body is surrounded by a bio-electromagnetic energy field commonly referred to as the aura. The aura absorbs and redistributes energy throughout the body. Illness and pain can occur when there are imbalances in this energy field. During a pranic healing session, negative energy is moved away and positive energy is moved into the body. The practitioner does not need to touch the individual, but uses their hands to move the energy around the aura. During a healing session, the individual lies down or sits comfortably in a chair. The patient is asked to relax and keep her mind open. The practitioner stands over her, and uses hand movements to sense imbalances and manipulate the energy throughout the aura. Several sessions might be required to bring about complete healing.
Validation of Pranic Healing
Scientific experiments conducted by Semyon Kirlian, a Russian scientist, confirm the existence of the energy field known as the aura. They also demonstrate how illnesses first manifest in the aura before they manifest in the physical body. From a scientific viewpoint, the changes in the energy field can affect certain chemical changes in the body. These little-known experiments suggest that by correcting imbalances found within the aura, illnesses can be prevented and even healed through energy medicine techniques.
Precautions
Pranic healing and other forms of energy medicine represent examples of "integrative medicine." Therefore, they should be used in conjunction with, not in place of, conventional medical treatment. Always consult your physician or health care practitioner before experimenting with alternative treatments.
