The founder of Pranic Healing, GrandMaster Choa Kok Sui, studied Esoteric healing sciences for years. He and his colleagues in Manila experimented with these techniques and mechanics to find the most effective means to the best results. With his analytic approach fueled by an engineering background, he focused his findings in four areas: 

1. Cleansing: When diseased energy is cleared out first and when gentle techniques encourage a fresh supply of 'prana,' healing happens easily and naturally, without the 'healing crisis' of so many methods. 

2. Energizing: Healers do not need to drain their personal energies to heal. Tapping the natural energy around us energizes both the client and the healer.

3. Decontaminating: Specific energy hygiene techniques insure that healers will not take on diseased energies. Louisa and Lorraine frequently misted their hands - and sometimes me - with lavender water.

4. Applying Energy: Master Choa discovered a direct correlation between certain diseases and certain chakras, or energy centers, in the body and has developed specific patterns of applying energy to the chakras to encourage rapid healing. 

Since one of Master Choa's favorite sayings is, “Let's experiment,” the Pranic Healing system continues to develop. His several books reflect the growing number of advanced classes being offered. His first book, titled Miracles through Pranic Healing, in its second edition, expounds the basic Pranic Healing techniques and testimonies. Advanced Pranic Healing explains techniques using colors for rapid healing.

Other books, with classes, are Pranic Psychotherapy, Pranic Crystal Healing, Pranic Psychic Self Defense, and Meditation for Soul Realization. Further class options include Arhatic Yoga, Arhatic Sexual Alchemy, Kriya$hakti (for manifesting abundance), Pranic Feng Shui, and Higher Clairvoyance. 

Although the system seems extensive, practitioners and teachers stress its simplicity. If you are relatively healthy, can focus your attention, have 'an open but discriminating mind,' they say, then you can learn Pranic Healing. It also seems to be quite compatible with other healing modalities, including traditional medicine.

But does it really work? As the lecture guinea pig, my 'presenting problem' was pain in my hands and wrists. I and other gifted healers had worked on my hands with Reiki, sound, Quantum Touch, Chinese Energy Medicine, and pressure and manipulation techniques. All made positive differences, but the relief had not been greatly significant or lasting. With Pranic Healing, the pain dropped about seventy percent. A week after the session, it's still about fifty percent less and holding. I intend to be in the class. I'll also be glad to share with you what I'm learning.
