Archive for Wednesday 9th April 2003 - Pranic healing

Our capacity to heal ourselves will eventually lead to the world healing itself. Or so practitioners of Pranic healing believe. This form of healing is a distillation of some of the most effective therapeutic disciplines, including Chinese Chi Kung, Reiki, Christian laying on of hands, and the Tibetan and Indian healing arts. It was discovered in the 1980s, after years of study, by Grandmaster Choa Kok Sui, a Chinese-Filipino. Prana is the ancient Indian word for life-force. We receive it from the sun, air and the earth – and, thus, indirectly from our food. It powers our auras, the chakra energy centres and meridians, which make up our energetic anatomy. Pranic healing has found favour with Hollywood stars, including Ted Danson and Melanie Griffiths. Its attraction is that anyone can do it. In his new book Your Hands Can Heal You (Bantam, £10.99), Stephen Co, a medical doctor, outlines a DIY course in healing. Our bodies, he claims, are naturally programmed to self-heal. Pranic healing works on the principle that the healing is accelerated by the healer increasing the flow of prana to the affected part of the body. Mark Winter

Our energetic anatomy We all have both a physical and energetic anatomy. Prana, or life-force, is channelled through the five components of our energetic anatomy: the chakras, meridians, inner, outer and health auras. The ‘energetic anatomy’ has four main functions: 1 To distribute and energise our physical anatomy with prana 2 To serve as a template for the physical 3 To properly regulate the flow of prana 4 To serve as a shield against energetic contamination For more information visit: www.pranichealing.com
