ABSTRACT:
Pranic Healing is a form of ancient energy medicine, which utilizes the inherent energy Prana (life force or
energy) to balance, and promote the body's energy and its processes. Prana is a Sanskrit word which actually
means, the vital force that keeps us alive and healthy. Pranic healing is a holistic approach as it assumes a person
in its complexity and does not separate the body and the mind. It involves the manipulation of ki and bioplasmic
matter of the patient’s body. It has also been called medical qigong (ki kung or ki healing), psyhic healing,
vitalic healing, therapeutic touch, laying of the hand, magnetic healing, faith healing and charismatic healing.

KEYWORDS: Pranic healing, Prana, chakras, energy body, medicine.

INTRODUCTION: According to Master Choa Kok Sui, the Internal Medical

In ancient Chinese medical science, there are five levels
of healing skills. The first is tuena in which the healer
uses his hands to massage. It is also known as
acupressure. In the second level, the medical healer uses
herbs, sometimes animal products and minerals to heal
the patient. In the third level, the healer uses acupuncture
and moxibustion. In the forth level, the healer practices
acupuncture with the projection of chi energy into the
needles, meridians and internal organs. This is a higher
level of healing which requires additional years of
training and practice in ancient China. The fifth level
requires the highest healing skill, which is the projection
of chi energy without the use of needle or physical
contact. The projection of chi energy without physical
contact is called Medical Chi Kung. And it is divided
into two schools, the Internal School and External
School.

Chi Kung School and External Medical Chi Kung
School are actually two sides of same coin. In order to
become a good healer using external chi, one must have
a certain amount of internal power, which fortunately
most people possess.
The External Medical Chi Kung as taught by Master
Choa Kok Sui is very easy to learn and practice. It also
uses acupuncture points, but not the ordinary
acupuncture points. It uses 11 major acupuncture points
called as ta xue lun (ta means big, xue means
acupuncture points and lun means spinning wheel) it
also uses semi major acupuncture points called xiao xue
lun ( xiao means small).
In India, External Medical Chi Kung is now called as
Pranic healing ( Prana means energy) . Prana is the vital
energy or life force that keeps the body healthy and
alive. In Chinese, it is called chi, in Japanese ki and in
Sanskrit prana. Ther are 3 main sources of prana, air, the
sun and the ground.1

Definition:
Pranic Healing comes from two words: Prana, which
means vital energy, and Healing. Pranic Healing is
therefore a no-touch, no-drug complementary therapy
system that uses prana to heal a wide range of physical
and psychological ailments. Pranic Healing is highly
systematic and scientific-based, which distinguishes it
from other healing modalities.
It is now being practiced in over 120 countries. Pranic
Healing also have departments in a number of hospitals
around the globe including California Neurosurgery
hospitals and Apollo hospitals in Chennai, Delhi and
Mumbai.
Sources of Prana:
According to experts, there are three main sources of
Prana:
Solar Prana :
It is the energy of sunlight, which is believed to
contribute to better health. The solar prana can be
obtained by sunbathing (5 to 10 minutes) and by
consuming water that has been kept in sunlight for some
time. Prolonged exposure may be harmful.
Air Prana:
It is the energy of the air which is believed to contribute acupuncture points are called minor chakras.
to the healing process. It can be obtained via the normal
breathing (deep, slow rhythmic breathing is much more
beneficial) or also can be directly absorbed through the
energy centers (chakras) and skin pores.
Fig no 1: Major and Minor Chakras (Energy Centers):
Prana on earth :
This is the energy of the earth. It is obtained through the
soles of the feet, which has direct contact with the
ground. The amount of energy absorbed can be increased
by walking barefoot.
The physical body is basically composed of two parts:
the visible physical body and the invisible physical body
that is also known as the energy body, etheric body,
bioplasmic body or the aura. These two bodies are
interconnected; it means what affects one, affects the
other. Hence healing the energy body and the chakras
has substantial relief on the physical body.
Chakras:
In the energy body there are energy channels known as
meridians, and energy centers, known as chakras.
Chakras are like power plants that provide energy for the
proper functioning of the body. Each chakra is
responsible for controlling and energizing certain parts
and organs of the physical body. If the chakras
malfunction, they will adversely affect the proper
functioning of the vital internal organs. Chakras beside
physical functions also have psychological functions,
which determine the character of the person. The major
acupuncture points are called chakras and semi major
