Pranic Healing is the use of the universal life energy, also known as prana, to create health and well-being.

It works by correcting energy imbalances and blockages, removing used-up or diseased energy and replacing it with fresh prana. Depending on the particular condition of the patient, healing often happens almost instantly. Frequently, patients who experience such quick results are so impressed that they study to become pranic healers themselves. For this reason, the field of pranic healing is growing quickly internationally.

Pranic healing is not only helpful in clearing physical conditions, but it is also very helpful in treating psychological and psycho-spiritual disorders.

Western medicine has considerable knowledge about the physical body - the body and organs that we can see and touch directly. However we also know that there is an energy body that exists with it. Pranic healers sometimes refer to the energy body as the biosplasmic body.

The most well-known part of the biosplasmic body is the aura. Some people
are able to see auras naturally. They usually see it as a glowing coloured area around someone. When they see the aura of a healthy person they see it as a glowing field of white light and pure colours. However, when the aura of an unhealthy person is studied, the area around the unhealthy part is often seen as being depleted, congested, or appearing tangled, torn or 'dirty'. In other words, the health of the body is reflected in the health of the aura.

Chakras are whirling energy centers and are very important parts of the bioplasmic body. Just as the visible physical body has vital and minor organs the bioplasmic body has major, minor, and mini chakras. Major chakras are whirling energy centers, which are about three to four inches in diameter. They control and energise the major and vital organs of the visible physical body. Major chakras are just like power stations that supply vital energy to major and vital organs. When the power stations malfunction the vital organs become sick or diseased because they do not have enough vital energy to operate properly! Minor chakras are about one to two inches in diameter. Mini chakras are smaller than one inch in diameter. Minor and mini chakras control and energise the less important parts of the visible physical body. The chakras interpenetrate and extend beyond the visible physical body.

1. They absorb, digest, and distribute prana to the different parts of the body.
2. They control, energise, and are responsible for the proper functioning of the whole physical body and its different parts and organs. The endocrine glands are controlled and energised by some of the major chakras. The endocrine glands can be stimulated or inhibited by controlling or manipulating the major chakras. A lot of ailments are caused partially by the malfunctioning of the chakras.
3. Some chakras are sites or centers of the psychic faculties. Activation of certain chakras (energy centers) may result in the development of certain psychic faculties. For example, among the easiest and safest chakras to activate are the hand chakras. These are located at the center of the palms. By activating the hand chakras, one develops the ability to feel subtle energies and the ability to feel the outer, health, and inner auras. This can simply be accomplished by regularly concentrating on them. It is called sensitising the hands.

Malfunctioning of this chakra manifests as diseases related to the endocrine glands like diabetes which requires not only treating the solar plexus chakra which controls the pancreas, but also the ajna chakra. Energising this chakra also causes the whole body to be energised. The mechanism is different from the crown and the forehead chakra. Instead of the usual funnelling effect, energising the ajna chakra causes the other chakras to light up in certain rapid sequence, thereby, energising the whole body. That is why in charismatic healing or invocative healing, the healers touch either the crown or the forehead or the ajna chakra of the patients with their fingers or palms. The sudden intense rushing in of prana in the head area causes some patients to lose consciousness.

It's the same with prana. When prana stops flowing the result is stagnation and disease.

The best way to get a river flowing again is to introduce new water into it. And once again, it's the same with prana. By energising an area with prana, new health can be introduced into the energy body. By energising through the nearest chakra, the projected prana will have easy and direct access to the affected part. While energising directly, the affected part has a filtering action on the projected prana, therefore, energising takes more time and more prana.

In energising the whole body, the solar plexus chakra is usually used because of its proximity to the many important organs in the body. It is located at the center of the trunk, which contains many essential organs. When energising the solar plexus chakra, it should be done slowly and gently. Too much and too intense energising can cause difficulty in breathing.

Energising should never be done without first cleansing the affected area of dirty or diseased energy. Otherwise, all you are doing is mixing good energy with bad, and energising a dirty or congested system, possibly making the congestion worse or spreading the bad energy around the biosplasmic body. Just like any mechanic will tell you that you should ideally drain the old used oil from your car before replacing it with new oil, any pranic healer will tell you that you should always clean away the dirty energy from a region before energising it with new prana.
