What are the prerequisites for a healing session to be successful? How many times does a person need to undergo a session?

It is important that the patient does not resist the treatment and on the other hand, the healing is extremely effective if the patient is open or receptive to healing. An important part of a healing session is building rapport with the patient. (It would be important to specify here that the patient does not need to have faith or belief in the system, an open mind is more than sufficient) As explained earlier, Pranic Healing treats not only a person’s physical ailments, but also the oft-underlying emotional and psychological problems. Thus, it is imperative that rapport be built up so that the patient is comfortable discussing problems that may be at the root of the ailment. The number of times a person needs to undergo treatment varies. It often depends on the amount of effort the patient is willing to put in. If the patient regularly practises the meditation and breathing techniques that are taught to him or her, and also, where required, does some simple exercises and is in control of the diet, recovery is extremely fast; in many cases, almost miraculous. All too often, however, the patient expects that just visiting a healer twice or thrice a week is sufficient. While this may be true at times, especially for purely physical ailments, most of the time, it is not sufficient. After all, it is often the patient’s attitude, lifestyle or means of livelihood that are at the root cause of the problem. A busy executive who works 12-hour days 7 days a week would certainly need to practise some moderation in his or her life to ensure effective relief from stress related ailments. Plain healing, while it may lead to relief from physical symptoms, would not be effective in the long run unless the executive changes his ways.
