What is Pranic Healing? How and when did this method originate?

Pranic healing is a holistic, no-touch method of healing that treats a person on the physical, emotional and mental levels by treating the human energy field. It is an accepted fact that all living things have an energy field around them. This has been called the bioplasmic field by scientists and is also known by terms such as the etheric body, etheric double, aura, energy body, etc. Contained in this bioplasmic body are energy centres, referred to as chakras in ancient Indian literature. It has been found that one’s physical, emotional and mental states are reflected in characteristic ways in the energy field. This manifestation occurs in terms of the quantity and quality of energy at various points in the energy field. Pranic Healing is ancient and probably originated in India. As is the case with many of our ancient arts, it has died a natural death in its home. However, during recent times, Master Choa Kok Sui has revived this technique and has re-packaged it in its current modern form. Master Choa, as he is affectionately called, is a chemical engineer and a successful businessman. He has spent almost 20 years researching the techniques of Pranic Healing by working closely with doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, healers and clairvoyants while honing his skills and perfecting the techniques that are currently taught under the Pranic Healing banner. Pranic Healing today is practised widely in most parts of the world and in India alone, we have about 40,000 healers. Master Choa travels extensively - visiting various parts of the world to conduct classes not only in healing but also to give spiritual guidance and teaching.
