"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration" - Nicola Tesla
Both modern physics and ancient wisdom teach that at its core, everything is composed of energy. That energy includes electromagnetic (visible light, microwaves, radio waves, infrared, etc. etc.), subatomic (the forces holding atoms together) and biofield (life force) energy. Throughout the ages, biofield energy has been known to different civilizations as chi, ki, pneuma, mana, and in Sanskrit, prana.
This invisible "vitality" or "life force" is what keeps the body alive and healthy.
A Little History...
The modern Pranic Healing system was developed in the 1970s and 80s by Grandmaster Choa Kok Sui. In addition to being a compassionate and highly evolved soul, Master Choa was a businessman and a chemical engineer. His life mission was to develop a healing system that would be so simple and effective, that anyone could use it (heal) and anyone could benefit from it (be healed). After studying many other energy healing systems, testing different techniques, collecting client feedback, refining approaches and clairvoyantly observing results, he and his team developed a comprehensive set of protocols to address mild to severe physical, emotional and mental conditions.
Pranic Healing Today...
The Pranic Healing system used around the world today represents a highly evolved and tested system of energy medicine that utilizes prana to balance the body's energy centers (chakras) and energy field (aura). Both professional Pranic Healers and home practitioners (those who focus on healing self, friends & family) utilize the same protocols, leveraging the Law of Self Recovery to help speed healing of physical, emotional and mental illnesses. When a person's energy body is brought back into alignment, their physical, emotional and mental states tend to improve as well.
Pranic Healing is based on two fundamental laws:
- The Law of Self-Recovery: The body is a living entity capable of healing itself at a certain rate. If a person has a burn, a wound, or a viral infection, the body will eventually heal itself.
- The Law of Life Energy: For life to exist, there must be prana. By increasing the life energy in the affected part or the whole body, the rate of healing is accelerated.
Core Principles: Cleansing & Energizing
Unlike many other modalities that focus solely on "giving energy," Pranic Healing places equal importance on cleansing. Imagine trying to pour fresh, clean water into a glass filled with dirty water: the result is still murky. Without proper cleansing, physical problems can be worsened and emotional trauma can be triggered.
In Pranic Healing, the practitioner first removes "dirty" or congested energy before energizing the area with fresh prana. This dual process ensures that the new energy can be absorbed effectively by the body and does no harm.
The Power of Precision: Systematic Protocols
One of the defining characteristics of Pranic Healing - and what distinguishes it from many other energy healing methods such as Reiki, Shamanism, Quantum Healing, etc. - is its systematic and protocol-based approach.
Grandmaster Choa Kok Sui treated Pranic Healing as a "science of the energy body," moving away from guesswork and pure intuition and toward a standardized methodology. He spent decades researching and validating specific instructions for biofield-based healing of hundreds of different ailments. This means that whether you are in Rome, New York, or London, a Pranic Healer will use the same systematic approach to address a certain issue.
Addressing Specific Conditions
Because the energy body acts as a blueprint for the physical body, every ailment has a corresponding energetic pattern. The use of protocols allows a practitioner to address issues with surgical precision:
- Comprehensive Energetic Anatomy:
The physical body is comprised of far more than 7 energy centers (chakras). Other healing systems that use a smaller chakra system aren't wrong - they're just simpler. But - when a healer has a more detailed energetic "map" to use, s/he can heal with far greater precision and specificity. That's one reason that acupuncturists love Pranic Healing! - Targeted Organ Energy: Protocols identify exactly which energy centers (chakra) control specific physical organs. By following these guidelines, the healer knows exactly where to cleanse and where to energize to support the body’s natural recovery process for a particular illness.
- Psychological Specialization: Pranic Healing extends into the realm of psychology. Specific protocols are designed to identify and remove energetic imbalances that contribute to emotional and mental disorders. This allows for a structured way to address complex issues like trauma, anxiety, or addiction by focusing on the specific centers that govern those emotional states.
- Color Pranas: Just as the electromagnetic spectrum, including visible light, is comprised of many different frequencies & wavelengths, so is the subtle energy spectrum. Pranic Healers workw tih a range of colored pranas that each behave differently in the energy body. This further allows Pranic Healers to target specific conditions.
How Pranic Healing Differs from Reiki & Other Modalities
Newcomers often ask how Pranic Healing compares with other modalities such as Reiki, as both involve the transfer of energy. Actually, there are distinct structural and methodological differences that set Pranic Healing apart. 
- No-Touch vs. Light Touch: While Reiki often involves placing hands lightly on the recipient, Pranic Healing is strictly no-touch. The practitioner works on the energy field (aura) and energy centers (chakras), outside the physical frame.
- Cleansing Before Energizing: In Reiki, the practitioner is primarily a channel for energy to flow into the patient. In Pranic Healing, cleansing is a mandatory first step to remove harmful energy before adding new prana.
- The Use of Color Prana: While basic Pranic Healing uses "white" prana, advanced levels involve a variety of specialized Color Pranas. Each color has specific properties - for example, some are cooling while others are stimulating - allowing for a greater level of precision tailored to the specific ailment.
- Detailed Energetic Anatomy: Pranic Healers have a very comprehensive knowledge of the energy centers (chakras), enabling very precise healing of specific conditions.
- Energetic Hygiene: In addition to a heavy emphasis on cleansing during healings, practitioners are taught how to cleanse their own systems to prevent taking on the patient's ailments, avoiding healer burnout.
Pranic Healing Questions and Concepts
Distant Healing: Why Does It Work?
One of the most remarkable aspects of Pranic Healing is Distant Healing (or Remote Healing). To a beginner, the idea of healing someone who is miles away seems like science fiction, but it is based on the principles of Directness and the energetic Interconnectedness of planet Earth and the universe.
The Science of Entanglement
Modern Quantum Physics provides a framework for this through Quantum Entanglement. When two particles become "entangled," the state of one instantaneously influences the other, regardless of distance. In the energetic realm, we exist within an "etheric" field that connects everything. Albert Einstein called this, "spooky action at a distance".
The Concept of the Macrocosm
Pranic Healers view the world as being connected in a sea of life or biofield energy. Just as a radio station broadcasts a signal that can be picked up by a receiver and tuned to the right frequency, a Pranic Healer "tunes in" to the energy signature of their client. Because energy follows thought (intent), the healer can direct prana to a person anywhere in the world as if they were in the same room.
The energy body is not limited by the same 3D constraints as the physical body.
