The Goodness of Pranic Healing

Pranic Healing is an ancient system of alternate medicine that has been prevalent in India and many other oriental nations since the times of Gautam Buddha. Here’s themedguru lowdown to enlighten the uninitiated.

So, the concept of pranic healing has been around for thousands of years. In recent times, this art was revived by Grand Master Cho Kok Sui. Who, primarily a citizen of China, has been residing in Philippines for quite some time now.

An IIM graduate and investment banker, Hariharan Raman, has been practicing Pranic Healing for the past seven years now. Similar is the story of Mekhla Muttoo, who learnt the ancient art of pranic healing from a friend’s cousin, benefited from it and then herself followed suit by becoming a practitioner.

The list of followers is growing and so is the list of those who cannot stop thinking - what is it all about? Does it work? Or is it only one of those passing fads?

Sui is a staunch believer of the fact that generation X too, through the practice of pranic healing, can live a healthy and long, disease-free life like our ancient saints and holy men did.

Meaning
The word ‘Prana’ is derived from Sanskrit. It literally means ‘life energy’. Hence, the concept of Pranic Healing is based on two fundamental principles – self recovery and life force. This life force is known by different names in different civilizations. In China it is ‘Chi’, Japan ‘Ki’, ‘Ruh’ in Hebrew and ‘Man’ in Polynesia.

How it Works
Experts will tell you that pranic healing works on the principle that a bioplasmic body surrounds our physical body. This can be seen as the aura. As per pranic healing, there are eleven major chakras or energy centers in our body. The life energy is governed by these chakras.

Mekhla, a renowned practitioner from the city of Mumbai, opines that, “The life force plays a vital role in healing and can accelerate the self-healing property of the physical body and the auras distribute it throughout the physical body.”

Distance Healing
In pranic healing, it is interesting to note that the distance between the healer and the subject is of no consequence at all. What it means is, you could be anywhere in the world from Cincinnati to Jhumritalaiya and you could still get the energy that the healer sends across to you.

Gauri, a Mumbai based homemaker, would call up her healer whenever she suffered from a stomachache. She had been unable to digest food for eight months at the time she began practicing pranic healing. Her system would throw up every time she tried to eat something and she had ended up losing about ten kilo grams. After she started with pranic healing, within minutes of making the call, she would be hale and hearty as if the stomachache never existed.

Since continuous therapy results in the disappearance of the ailment, Gauri is completely healed now. “The process of transmitting energy is similar to that of connecting to a friend on the phone”, she explains. It is not magic, but science. Studies at the University of California, Irvine, Department of Radiology Sciences, have established sufficient proof of the workability of distance healing.

Priya, a Gurgaon based teacher, is another of the scores of success stories of pranic healing. Priya Saxena had suffered from a nervous break down about three months ago and had to undergo treatment for the same. That’s when someone introduced her to the benefits of pranic healing. She complemented the traditional medicines with this ancient art and benefited greatly.

Believers and Non Believers
There are a few, especially doctors, who doubt the credibility of pranic healing and argue that not everybody is capable of practicing healing. A meticulous understanding of human anatomy is not just important but indispensable to be able to cure people.

But the likes of Gauri and Priya Saxena and their stories put all the skepticism of others to ease. They are quick to react that it may sound like hocus pocus in the beginning, but once one starts to practice this system, one can not but believe in it because it works. So why question a system of treatment that is only doing others a world of good?
