frequently asked questions
1. what is pranic healing? how and when did this originate?
Pranic healing is a holistic, no-touch method of healing that treats a person on the physical, emotional and mental levels by treating the human energy field. It is an accepted fact that all living things have an energy field around them. This has been called the bioplasmic field by scientists and is also known by terms such as the etheric body, etheric double, aura, energy body, etc. Contained in this bioplasmic body are energy centres, referred to as chakras in ancient Indian literature. It has been found that one’s physical, emotional and mental states are reflected in characteristic ways in the energy field. This manifestation occurs in terms of the quantity and quality of energy at various points in the energy field.
Pranic Healing is ancient and probably originated in India. As is the case with many of our ancient arts, it has died a natural death in its home. However, during recent times, Master Choa Kok Sui has revived this technique and has re-packaged it in its current modern form. Master Choa, as he is affectionately called, is a chemical engineer and a successful businessman. He has spent almost 20 years researching the techniques of Pranic Healing by working closely with doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, healers and clairvoyants while honing his skills and perfecting the techniques that are currently taught under the Pranic Healing banner. Pranic Healing today is practised widely in most parts of the world and in India alone, we have about 40,000 healers. Master Choa travels extensively - visiting various parts of the world to conduct classes not only in healing but also to give spiritual guidance and teaching.

2. where does prana come from?
There are 3 principal sources - the sun, the air and the earth. Secondary sources include food, water, plants, etc. We need a constant supply of fresh prana to maintain good health. Pranic Healing teaches you how to consciously absorb and assimilate more prana and use it to improve your life.
3. how does one learn to heal/ treat using this method?
There are 3 levels of Pranic Healing - the basic, advanced and psychotherapy workshops. The basic pranic healing workshop is open to all. No prior knowledge or skills are necessary. Here, students are introduced to the concept of the bioplasmic body, its characteristics and how it relates to a person’s health. They are taught how to feel or scan this energy field using the sense of touch. This skill is easy to pick up initially, though mastery takes time and practise. With this ability to scan, Pranic Healers are able to diagnose those parts of the bioplasmic body that may be imbalanced. At the basic level, this manifests as excess energy at a part, known as Pranic congestion, or lack of energy, known as Pranic depletion. Once determined, Pranic Healers are imparted the skills of cleansing and energising, which allows them to normalise the affected areas. Cleansing involves removing the “dirty” or used-up energy that causes the imbalances in the first place; while energising allows us to restore the energy balance by projecting “fresh” or clean energy into the affected part. Besides teaching us how to heal, the Pranic Healing workshop also contains a meditation technique called the Meditation on Twin Hearts, basic Pranayama techniques, lectures on the Law or Karma and character building, techniques to heal oneself and how to heal people at a distance. There are currently Pranic Healing foundations in 9 states with another 2 expected to come up shortly. All foundations conduct regular workshop in various parts of the country.
