What is Pranic Healing?

In ancient Chinese Medical Science, there are five levels of healing skills. The first is tuena. The healer uses his hands to massage. This is also called acupressure. This is the lowest level. 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 fourth 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 skill which required 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 needles or physical contact.

The chi energy is projected at close range or at a great distance, like from one continent to another continent. In ancient China and India, the technique of projecting chi energy at close range or at a distance without getting exhausted had been a closely guarded secret. The projection of chi energy without physical contact is called Medical QiGong, and it is divided into two schools, the Internal School and the External School. The Internal Medical QiGong School is the more popular one.

It takes many years of practice in order to develop substantial Chi energy. The use of one’s Internal Chi energy in order to heal patients is exhausting and tiring, and this is why the Chinese medical doctors are allowed to heal only two to three patients a day using this method. The external Medical QiGong is the less popular school and is almost not known to the public. This school uses chi energy from the air and from the earth, and directs it to the patient for healing. The External Medical QiGong School is superior to the Internal School, and it is neither exhausting nor tiring. A good External Medical QiGong Master can heal as many as 20-30 patients per day.

According to Master Choa Kok Sui, the Internal Medical QiGong School and the External Medical qigong School are actually two sides of the 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 greater one’s internal chi power, the greater the capacity to absorb and to project chi energy to the patient. Internal chi power can be developed through meditation. The activation of the crown charka or bai hui (Chinese translation for “meeting point for 100 items or paths”) is very important. Therefore, it is highly recommended to practice the Twin Hearts Meditation, since this is one of the fastest way to activate the crown charka.

Bai Hui is the entry point of spiritual energy or tian chi ( Chinese translation for “heavenly energy”). Without tian chi or spiritual energy it is not possible Bai Hui is the entry point of spiritual energy or tian chi (Chinese translation for “heavenly energy”). Without tian chi or spiritual energy it is not possible to develop strong internal chi. Therefore, it is highly recommended to practice regularly the Twin Hearts Meditation. The practice of yogic physical and breathing exercises is very helpful since they will increase one’s healing power. To become even more powerful it is advisable to practice Arhatic Yoga or other higher meditations.

The External Medical QiGong as taught by Master Choa Kok Sui is very revolutionary. It is easy to learn and practice. It also uses acupuncture points, but not the ordinary acupuncture points. It uses 11 major acupuncture points called zhu xue lun (zhu is translated as “main”; xue is “acupuncture point”; and lun, “spinning wheel”). It also uses semi-major acupuncture points called xiao xue lun (xiao is translated as “small”). Since the students of External Medical QiGong do not have to learn thousands of acupuncture points but, rather, has to learn only a few major and semi-major acupuncture points, learning is faster and easier. In ancient times there had been great scientific and cultural exchanges between China and India. In India, External Medical QiGong is now called Pranic Healing. The major acupuncture points are called charkas, and the semi-major acupuncture points are called minor chakras.

Master Choa Kok Sui has taught the External Medical QiGong School of Healing to the west and to other parts of the world, under the name Pranic Healing. Pranic Healing in its existing form has been painstakingly, systematically, and scientifically developed, revealed, and taught globally by Master Choa Kok Sui. Hundreds of thousands of students have learned to do pranic healing, and millions of patients have been healed or relieved.

There is some degree of controversy as to whether there are seven charkas or more. Some ancient Indian books mentioned seven charkas. Some modern authors have written about seven charkas. Master Choa Kok Sui has taught that there are 11 major charkas. Which is correct? Actually both are correct, because in these ancient books, they have never mentioned that there are only seven charkas. The key word is only. The problem is that the students or readers assume that there are only seven charkas. This is an assumption without any basis. In Bali, Indonesia there is one family that owns an ancient Sanskrit literature written on palm leaves that mentions the existence of other charkas besides the seven charkas.

The kabbalistic system has 10 energy centers plus one hidden center: a total of 11. The student must remember that truth is dynamic, not static. This is the basis behind progress. One must be ready to discard lower truth for higher truth.

Pranic Healing is divided into different levels. In the first level the students are taught how to absorb air prana or chi energy, and how to project it to the students. The students are also taught how to make their hands sensitive and how to scan or feel the energy body of the patient. They are taught how to clean, energize, and stabilize the projected chi energy. They are also taught how to release the projected energy, and how to cut the energy cord. The students are also taught how to make the patient more receptive in order to accelerate the healing process. Other lessons include self-healing, divine healing, and distant healing, especially how to project pranic energy or chi energy at a great distance.

In level two, the students are taught how to use different color pranas and chi energies in cleansing and energizing the patient. This technique is much more powerful. In level three the students are taught how to use color pranas or chi energies on psychological ailments. Treating psychological ailments require more time and effort, and greater skill. In level four the students are taught how to use crystals to focus chi energy or pranic energy to the patient. Other higher levels of Pranic Healing are not taught to the public, but only to the author’s senior disciples.
