FAQ

Okay. I’ve read all the explanations for Pranic Healing, BUT I still don’t get it. Can’t you explain it in ordinary life terms?
Sure. Think of your body. When it gets tired, you go to sleep. Maybe you don’t want to go to sleep, so you down Monsters and Amps, pop herbal energy pills, splash cold water on your face, stay up with friends playing video games, etc. Maybe this works for two or three days, but by the fourth and fifth day the Monsters, Amps and energy pills don’t work - and come to think of it, neither does your body. Sleep is vital to the physical body to stay vibrant: deprive your body of sleep and it becomes depleted. When it gets run down, you’re more likely to catch a cold or stub a toe. Get some sleep and presto – your back up ready to go. Pranic Healing techniques and protocols mirror sleeping in that it sweeps away the spent energy, and replenishes the body with new energy, but in a waking mode.
 
So Pranic Healing is like sleeping?
Well, sort of.  When you let your body run down, everything in your system feels it. When the energy around your body becomes depleted, your body also feels it, whether physically, emotionally or mentally. Sometimes a good shower and lots of rest is enough to regenerate healthy energy around your body. And sometimes it is not. When it is not, it is good to know the technique for clearing away the dirty energy and replacing it with clean energy. That’s Pranic Healing.
  
Will Pranic Healing cure me overnight?
Everyone has become so used to instantaneous everything that we also want healing done quickly and permanently. Prana, or energy, does need a little time to do the most good. Think of rechargeable batteries. You have to plug them in to an electric source to recharge them. The length of time you leave them in the sockets determines how long they will work. Likewise, for simple physical ailments like headaches, small cuts and bruises, the physical body will absorb Prana very quickly and, as a result, the headache, bruise or cut will disappear just as quickly. For more serious ailments, the physical body will need more prana to help it heal.  Because after all, the illness didn’t occur overnight.
  
I’m very much a “Seeing is believing” sort and right now all this sounds like New Age off-the-rocker stuff. Where is the evidence that this really works?
There are several answers to this question: two are of the personal realm and the last is of the scientific realm. We’ll stick with the latter. At this time, there are Kirliian cameras that take pictures of auras – the energy that surrounds a person, animal, plant and even an object. So if you distrust the senses of a clairvoyant, this camera will show what the clairvoyant sees. Pranic Healers all over the world have been conducting experiments using prana to regenerate human cells, to help cure disease, to help grow bigger crops, and to help the physical body recuperate from surgeries and broken bones more quickly. But practitioners of Pranic Healing just don’t heal willy-nilly: they follow a scientifically proven system that was designed for each ailment – from simple to difficult. The modern day founder and teacher of Pranic Healing, Master Choa Kok Sui, set up experiments to find the one that has repeatable and consistent results for each ailment. In this respect it is very scientific.
 
So what about the personal realm of proof?
You can find many personal testimonies in Master Choa’s books on Pranic Healing – from physical, to emotional and psychological. New testimonies are created every day, worldwide, by Pranic Healers who have their own practices, or just heal for the sake of doing service. (You can read some local testimonials here.) The best and most effective method of determining if Pranic Healing works is to try it yourself – either through a free clinic or by taking a class or by reading the basic book by Mater Choa Kok Sui, Miracles Through Pranic Healing or Master Stephen Co’s book Your Hands Can Heal You, with co-author Dr. Eric Robbins and picking a protocol to try on yourself.
  
I keep hearing that anybody can do it. Don’t you have to be a monk or guru or someone like that?
Not at all. If you have ever kicked back and immersed yourself in vivid, or even not so vivid, imagination, you can heal. If you have ever pursued a goal with determination or focus, you can heal. If you have ever wanted to alleviate pain from another person, you can heal. And if you can wave your hands in the air and smile, you can heal.
 
I gotta smile? What if I don’t have anything to smile about?
Then you may be a candidate for Pranic Psychotherapy. Seriously, when a Pranic Healer smiles while performing a healing, the energy s/he is tapping into is magnified many times over and flows more readily to the person receiving the healing.
 
So if Pranic Healers aren’t gurus, then who are they?
People who practice Pranic Healing are human beings first, and defined by what they do second. So Pranic Healers are human beings who chose professions as doctors, lawyers, teamsters, teachers, nurses, alternative health care practitioners, writers, artists, web designers, engineers – in short all types of white and blue collar workers. Then there are mothers, fathers, grandparents, and even children and young teens. Since Pranic Healing is worldwide, Healers are of all races, creeds, ethnicity, religions, genders, values and mindsets.
 
So what if I do everything, learn everything about this Pranic Healing, and decide I don’t like it? What then?
It is true that Pranic Healing will not appeal to everyone. Some practitioners instantly knew Pranic Healing was their calling; others were led to Pranic Healing either through a personal friend or by their own personal ailment; and others through cultivated interest as they visited free clinics and Introductions on a regular basis. Some come thinking Pranic Healing will be a “quick fix” for their own ailment or problem and feel disappointed when they discover that this is not necessarily so.  If you decide Pranic Healing is not for you, then you will have met some great people, learned new things about the human body and mind and will have a tool that you may find useful in future situations.
  
Suppose I go through the classes only to find that I can’t heal. What then?
Every human being has the innate ability to heal ourselves and others.  It is part of our energetic make-up.  However, Pranic Healing may not be the healing modality for you.  There are many energy healing modalities available and one of these may resonate more with you than others.  Remember, there are many paths leading to the same place, and part of the fun of the journey is exploring them to find the way that is right for you.
  
I’ve heard of the seven chakras and that they’re energy centers for the body, but I don’t really know how they work or what they’re supposed to do.
In Pranic Healing, practitioners actually work with eleven major chakras. They are: basic, sex, navel, mein meng, solar plexus, spleen, heart, throat, ajna, forehead and crown. They work much like lungs work – by “breathing” in clean energy and “breathing out” used energy. Instead of expanding and collapsing like lungs do, chakras spin quickly clockwise and counter-clockwise. There has been much emphasis on the esoteric function of the chakras – but they provide a very important and necessary physical function: they keep the entire physical body vital and vibrant. The names of the chakras reflect what they are in charge of: for instance, the navel chakra continually bathes the stomach and intestines with fresh prana to keep them functioning normally.
