Pranic healing, did you know?

Pranic Energy

Pranic energy, also known as life energy, is the energy needed to live. It is naturally produced by humans, and is in great abundance amongst us. Trees, flowers, your pet dog, they all possess it. You yourself possess pranic energy. Where it stems from is unsure, though many say possibly the nervous system. How? Beats me.

So how does this tie into Psychic Vampirism? Well, as mentioned before on the site, psi-vamps are unable to produce enough pranic energy for their daily needs (this includes using their empathic abilities). So a psi-vamp will feed off of a human who has pranic energy in abundance. This craving for energy can be very addictive. It's thought that the majority of psi-vamps have a psychological dependence on pranic energy. If a psi-vamp were to quit "cold turkey", he/she would most likely go through withdrawal. I say it to be a psychological dependence and not a physical one because I know of so many psychic vampires that did indeed stop feeding for good.

Pranic energy is what we all need to survive and live healthy lives. It's necessity is undeniable.

What is Pranic Healing?

Pranic Healing is a highly advanced and tested system of energy basedhealing techniques. This healing technology utilizes "prana" to harmonize the body'schakras and energy processes. "Prana" is a Sanskrit word that means"life-force". In China this subtle energy is known as "Chi", in Japan “Ki” and in the old testament of the Christian Bible it is called"Ruah" or the "Breath of Life". Pranic Healing is a simple, powerfuland effective no-touch healing system.

Diseases first appear as energetic disruptions before manifesting asillnesses in the physical and psychological body. Pranic Healingadjusts the bio-electromagnetic field known as the aura, which containsthe mold or blueprint of the physical and psychological body. Ourbodies possess innate healing abilities and Pranic Healing acceleratesthis healing process by the cleansing of “diseased” energy andtransferring new and vital energy. Pranic Healing uses natural lifeforce to bring about a healthier physical and psychological body.

Pranic Energy

By Suleiha Suguna

Prana is that vital or ether force which is said to pervade the whole cosmos. It is in all things, whether animate or inanimate- it is in stones- insects- animals and of course human beings. It is closely related to the air that we breathe. Prana is more subtle than air and perhaps can be defined as the energy essence that is in the air and in everything in the universe. Prana means movement, activity or vibration; it is the very foundation of all life. It is the totality of the life forces. Existence of the whole world is in the movement of prana and without prana nothing will exist.

Prana is life energy. Its nature is in movement. Whatever movement we see right from the body up to the pure consciousness is a result of prana. Prana is latent in the food we eat the water we drink and the air we breathe.

Pranic healing is a form of therapy that is completely independent of any material aid and operated equally well either on contact or at a distance. This is known as the science of pranic healing. This prana can be controlled and directed to any part of the body at will for self healing. There is no treatment higher than pranic treatment. This pranic energy can be transferred from one body to another for healing ailments and again prana can be restored and reserved for self. It is something like charging a battery and restoring the battery. It is a great science in the world.

During the transfusion movement of pranic energy in the body, it can be recorded by machines such as an electroencephalogram or a polygraph. The variation and change of its reactions such as pulse rate, heart beat, blood pressure and the movements of cells in the brain can be monitored. Scientist and doctor's can investigate and experiment regarding the influence of movement of pranic energy or life force within the body.

Prana will never cease to exist and it is in the form of subtle energy running through the body. In the human body, the prana circulates in the form of subtle air which is not visible to the eyes. Outside the body, prana is derived from the sun and without the sun, life cannot exist. The whole universe is vibrating through the sun, and it is impossible to separate our prana from the sun. Only when there is prana, one can reach self-actualization.

Pranic Energy Healing

Our environment is an energy system which is constantly shifting and moving as said by the laws of elemental physics. Human beings are also part of an open system of energy with a healthy body thriving through a clean, pure and continuous flow of balanced positive energy. When there is imbalance, for example, stress, pollution, with the environment around us a functioning energy system will be releasing this excessive energy out and cleanse the body off immediately. When the energy systems are blocked it keeps absorbing from the surroundings and causes problems. Proper posture and exercise initiate the healing energy flow in the body to relieve illness and stop the pain. The healing energies also stimulate the positive functioning of the immune system. The mind concentration exercises help in improvement of memory, activeness, alertness and the posture used for the same prevent neck shoulder, and back pain while preventing headaches and acting as stress busters.

Prana means breath or life-force and hence pranic healing deals with the elements of sun, air, and earth which sustain life and correct the imbalances in the field which are caused by stagnation of etheric matter. Treatment involves visualization and channeling of proper breathing techniques and thus harmonizing the energy frequencies. Pranic healing has been practiced in India for ages and is one of the most distilled form of energy healing techniques practiced around the world.

Pranic healing is done on the basis that the human body is composed of the physical body and the bioplasmic body. The invisible body is called bioplasmic body and it extends for several inches above the skin and is most often called aura. This aura is thick or thin depending upon the individual's characteristics and the color varies with the health of the person. Nowadays its highly possible to view the various aura colors with the help of kirlian photography .The body plasma is the fourth state of matter with solid, liquid and gas being the first three. This body consists of chakras which are actually whirling pools or openings. Imbalance in the chakra means that they are whirling at different speeds and hence blocking the flow of energy. For a healthy body the chakras have to rotate at the same speed to allow for the continuous flow of energy.

Sensitize Pranic Hand Energy Exercise

Holistic Life Energy Provides Healing Touch

Terri Parrott

Life energy or ki forms the basis for pranic healing. Using pranic energy to heal minor ailments naturally is a skill that can be learned.

Pranic healing is based upon the premise that the human body has a visible physical body and an invisible energy body. This invisible energy body has been called bioplasmic body, etheric body or etheric double.
The life energy that keeps the body alive and healthy is referred to as prana, chi or ki. Various cultures use terms such as pneuma, mana, or ruah in reference to the breath of life. Prana is believed to come from three sources; solar or sunlight prana, air prana that is absorbed by the lungs and chakra system, and ground prana that is absorbed through the soles of the feet. In pranic healing, energy is directed toward blocked acupressure points and meridians as a way to cleanse or open the bioplasmic channels and enhance the body's natural healing process.

Chakra Energy Centers

Chakras are described as whirling energy centers approximately three to four inches in diameter, with the function of controlling and energizing the major and vital organs of the physical body. Minor chakras are described as being one to two inches in diameter, while mini chakras are smaller than one inch in diameter. The minor and mini chakras control and energize the less important parts of the visible physical body.

The hand chakras are the easiest and safest chakras to activate. The hand chakras are located in the center of the palms. When activated, one is able to feel subtle energies.

Increase your energy, increase your health

.....by Melvin D. Saunders

........ Do you usually associate a healthy person with low energy? Of course not! People with high life energy are usually very healthy, and those with low life energy are susceptible to low health. With this in mind, it would stand to reason that you would naturally want to increase your chi energy in every possible way to optimize your chances of excellent health, right? You know when you feel weak and sickly or when you feel strong and healthy, but how can you measure your own energy level? Do you even know what specifically causes the highs and lows in your energy amplitude?

........ People sleep to renew their life energy. The more relaxed their rest and sleep, the more easily their energy is increased. What other factors are involved with your energy level? Nutrition, emotions, posture, water quality, breathing, exercise, music, aromas, your thoughts and your deeds or simply seeing a movie can all have a bearing on your energy level. One of the most important factors related to your energy level though is your sense of purpose. One reason why many elderly folks lose their vitality for living is because of retirement! Work provides people with a sense of purpose, and when their work is removed, their energy level can drop dramatically. So find some purpose for your life - charity work, a new vocation or avocation, a goal, a hobby or a pursuit you always wanted to take up, or better yet, tune into your spiritual reason for being here. When your life has purpose, you will not only feel better about yourself, but your energy level will rise as well.

........ Understand that all factors are interrelated too, so if you improve one, the others must also improve. For instance, if you are nutrition oriented, beginning a diet of raw organic vegetables will increase your chi energy level, and in turn youÕll also begin noticing improvement in your breathing, your posture, your emotions and the music you prefer. If you are exercise oriented, beginning a daily routine of good exercise and deep belly breathing will increase your energy level too, and in turn your nutrition, your emotions and your posture will tend to improve as well! Exercise also works well with children having a low self-esteem. Statistics have shown that creating basketball courts or gymnasiums in poverty stricken neighborhoods lowers crime and drug addiction in those neighborhoods.

........ To raise your spirits, raise your life energy level. If you feel down in any way, exercise for 30 minutes or do deep connected breathing for several minutes or watch an action packed movie or do something else to raise your energy level. Improving the mental and emotional attitude that you carry with you every day can allow your energy to flow in better harmony. Some people block the flow of the available energy around them with negative thought patterns they create and project from themselves, like worry, doubt, anger, fear, hatred, depression, etc. When you are frequently objecting, saying 'no' or saying 'I can't,' you block the energy flow, and place boundaries, restrictions and limitations around yourself.

........ You can eat the best of organic foods and take all the best supplements with the best water and still have a low chi energy level by feeling lousy about yourself and those around you! Once you change your emotional attitude and start thinking better about yourself, then good nutrition, better posture, better breathing, good exercise, good music and a good environment can benefit in raising your life energy level too! At least, open yourself to the possibility of having higher energy and that alone will help to relieve some of your blocks to it!

........ We are constantly engulfed in a sea of energy, whether itÕs from the earth, the sun or the life forms around us. When we accept the things that happen to us and know we have created our own circumstances, we flow with the process in that understanding. When we flow in harmony with the natural energies around us, we tune into and feel the oneness of everything. We synchronize our energy level with such harmony. We can always express our preferences, but our choices in life produce the results we get. Our lives always reflect the choices we make. Acceptance allows flowingness. Objection blocks the process.

........ Just as a booing, critical audience can deflate the energy level of a speaker, athletes know that cheering from a crowd can increase their energy level for a better performance. The excitement of a crowd is very contagious. By suffusing your essence with excitement, enthusiasm and positive words, thoughts and actions, you can increase your own energy level, even if you do so artificially! Weight lifters know this so they pump themselves up with positive thoughts and words before they lift a heavy weight.

........ To bring balance and harmony in your life, associate yourself with factors that will benefit and help you. Do things with a total involved feeling of enjoyment rather than a mechanistic or disheartened feeling. Every time you harmonize your energy system with wholesome food, natural fiber clothing, a positive attitude, controlled deep breathing and relaxation, the easier it is to draw from the universal energy well. The more you increase your energy amplitude, the better able you are to withstand the detrimental factors of pathogenic cellular invaders, pollution and accidental injury. After maximizing your internal energy amplitude, synchronizing your energy with the energy of the universe brings about an inner feeling of oneness and peace. You can proceed through your day in a relaxed, powerful way! A man changes the world every time he changes himself.

Sensitizing the Hands

This exercise is excerpted from Your Hands Can Heal You

by Stephen Co & Eric B. Robins, M.D.

Start by putting the tongue just behind the hard palate on the roof of the mouth (the hard ridge behind the top row of teeth.) Placing the tip of the tongue to the palate improves the connection between the front and back energy channels. This improves and increases pranic energy circulation. Keep the tongue in this position throughout the exercise.

Take four slow, deep breaths. Breathe in and out through the nose. Extend the arms straight out in front of the body, at shoulder height. Roll the hands at the wrists in small circles; 10 times clockwise and 10 times counterclockwise. Open and close the hands vigorously 10 times.

Place the arms at the sides of the body and bring the fists near the shoulders as if curling a dumbbell. The back of the hands should be facing away from the body. Snap the arms down while flicking the fingers open as the arms drop down (as if dropping imaginary dumbbells.) Quickly return to the starting position and repeat 10 times, being careful to not hyperextend the elbow.

Next, extend the hands in front of the body with the palms approximately three inches apart and facing each other as if about to clap the hands. Spread the fingers. Press the thumb of the right hand lightly into the center of the left palm and hold for a few seconds. Repeat the movement with the other hand, using the left thumb to press into the right palm and hold for a few seconds.

Hold the elbows close to the waist, with the forearms extended in front of the body, parallel to the round. Keep the hands relaxed with the palms facing each other about three inches apart. Close the eyes and breathe slowly while focusing on the centers of the palms of the hands. Continue for 30 seconds.

Keeping the hands, wrists and elbows steady, move the arms in and out a few inches from each other in a slow motion, as if clapping without the hands touching. Move within an inch or two of each other then out 12 inches; then back to within an inch or two. Repeat this for 30 seconds.

Within a short time, there should be a sensation of resistance between the palms, as if holding a balloon. Other sensations include a tingling, itch or sense of warmth in the palm of the hand. These sensations are the prana or life force that surrounds and interpenetrates the body.

Feeling pranic energy is facilitated when one keeps an open mind to the concept of an etheric body surrounding the physical body. With practice, one can develop the ability to increase, control and direct the flow of prana. Clearing blockages and increasing the flow of prana helps the body to naturally heal itself.

聽阿祥講「氣」：
http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/simonchauhk/article?mid=5674

為什麼手療可以醫人(或者順便醫病)？

手療

不是治療（像西醫開刀或跌打按壓那樣消除病情）

而是徹底改變整個人

轉化生命

以下的例子不妨舉一反三：

(1) 重拾人生希望----

一位病者這樣描述自己如何在醫治的過程中消除內在的壓力，之後疾病隨而消失：「我聽過導引能量來醫治已經有許多年，一直在掙扎，究竟信它還是不信。終於有朋友替我向一位手療師掛了號排好時間，因為他知道我患上了兩種重病，都是醫學界鞭長莫及的。

「我去時全無信心，但是她（手療師）一動手為我發氣，三分鐘之內我再不懷疑了：我感到自己慢慢打開，接受了一種深邃的動力推著自己，覺得全身鬆弛，恐懼消失了，只有一種像寒冷的日子中的陽光那樣的溫暖，覺得頸部有事在發生，內心開始『看』到，像有些手指在頸的組織裡活動，把它們整理好，釋放出一些東西。我說是『手指』，其實是因為想不出更好的方法形容，或者應該說是一堆能量，肯定是在頸部發生作用……。我感覺得到自己身體各器官在動，大小腸正在把空氣和食物運送，盤骨下部正在蠕動，好像有許多血液和能量在運動……。我也感到自信增加了，整個人妥當健康自在起來，不再像以前那樣覺得支離破碎，了無生氣。」

(2) 從懷疑到相信----

不少人對於運氣醫治存有懷疑態度，或者自己信了某種宗教，對於這類活動有抗拒。正如有位接受過的人回憶說：「我約好了時間之後，一連幾天都內心掙扎，懷疑自己怎樣才可以抱開放的態度去接受這類醫治手段。我自小信基督教，屬於傳統基要派，受到教導說只可以向上帝求醫治，不大承認凡人也可以做中介，在這個世代引導上天的力量為人醫治……。

「可是，事後我完全放心了……。由於我背部受過傷，時常不斷要深深地呼吸，才能減壓，因為我一向呼吸得很淺。當日第一次差不多做完的時候，我開始呼吸自然起來，毋須再叫自己去呼吸。我起來時，發覺自己的脊骨伸直了。」

(3) 情緒也告改善----

很多時候，受者會在醫治過程之後，得到思想和情緒方面的改變。例如有一次某電視著名新聞報道員接受手療，因為她失眠又長期消化不良，事後她描述當時的情形：「我覺得自在多了，亦靜好多了，頭腦輕快起來。以前我滔滔不絕在電視節目中講話，往往不知道自己在說什麼，最近發現自己清清楚楚知道是想好了才出口。我和丈夫之間的關係，也大為改善。一直以來我花了好多個月想改善自己（的思想情緒），現在果然不同了，連情緒的層面也好多了，覺得真是滿足。」

(4) 與腫瘤交了朋友----

阿潔教書多年，忽然被斷症証實患上了乳癌，要做切除手術。

她其實非常不願意做這種手術，因為一來她明白這類侵犯性的醫療手段嚴重干擾身體，即使一時好像解決了問題，亦只會無可避免長期的生理不良反應，即所謂元氣大傷。二來身為女人，她感覺到割掉了乳房，心理上是重大的打擊，不易補償平伏。

手術前兩天，她遇上了不太相熟的朋友明明，不知如何談了起來，提到自己的病、手術、以及內心掙扎。明明對她說：「非常了解你的情況，感受到你的痛苦。你要不要試一試手療？我可以替你做一下。」原來她最近幾個月愛上了手療，不斷幫助自己又找機會幫助別人。

阿潔從未聽過手療這一回事，只不過見到明明一臉熱情，煞有介事，於是姑且一試，坐下來希望手療可以令她平靜一點面對手術，逢凶化吉。明明先後按手在她的頭上和胸上，整個過程在完全沉默之中進行，為時約15分鐘。

做完了，明明問阿潔覺得怎麼樣。阿潔說：「身體甚麼感覺都好像沒有，身上似乎甚麼也未曾發生過；只不過，嗯……，當你的手按在我的腫瘤部位之時，我忽然靈光一閃，想『通』了——我一直以來非常害怕、討厭甚至仇恨那個瘤，覺得它破壞我的身體，消滅我的幸福，企圖奪走我的生命。沒想到那一刻，我的想法竟然相反：我覺得它是我的一部分，我生命中的成份，我的朋友，它不再可怕不再可憎，反而可親可以溝通，我想跟它言歸於好，不要割除它丟掉它……。你說奇怪不奇怪？」

明明知道是怎麼一回事，她學手療時聽過不少類似的故事，明白心轉則世界轉，真正的進步、問題的解決，關鍵在於「變心」。眼前阿潔正是個經典的例子。手療送進去的「氣」並未「擊退」癌「魔」，反而化敵為友，「敵」是患者的心魔。

阿潔不但保著了漂亮的乳房、保著了生命，還變成了一個乳房和生命同樣更豐滿可愛的人兒。

(5) 妙手送氣解心結----

不少人在接受手療或是按摩時，很快出現情緒反應，開始釋放出內心最深層陳年積存的複雜情意結，於是慢慢引發身、心、靈各方面的改變。

以下一個例子說明這種情況：

主角阿梅是個中年婦人，她的父親去世已10年，可是她和亡父的關係始終牢牢困鎖著她的心，令她無法正常生活。

後來阿梅回憶說：「我在接受按手時，反應又深又強烈……，許多跟他不愉快的感受都釋發放了出來，就像雪崩一樣，排山倒海翻天覆地，過後，我感到強烈的結合，有創造的力量經過身體，那是一道一道的光，我打開了自己，接受父母的愛，當時就恍似一張溫暖的毛氈覆蓋著我周圍，兒時學唱的聖詩一首一首像泉水那樣由內心湧出。」

(6) 出手改變一生運程----

一次按手的經驗，甚至可以改變人的一生。以下就是救回一命的例子：

主角勞先生是三十多歲的律師，他最近幾年心情低落到極點，雖然事業成功，卻在下班後瘋狂酗酒。他找手療師幫忙，當時體內的能量已經低至無可再低，顯然隨時會心臟病發。

在按手過程之中，他忽然「開悟」，明白到自己正站在生命旅途的十字路口，一邊是活路，一邊是死路。結果他選擇了活下去，決定為自己的存在負責任。

不出幾個月，他變成了另一個人（期間他定期接受按手輸氣），因為不斷探索自己內心的情況，明白昔日自暴自棄的真相，從此積極起來，要建設一個全新的生命。

勞先生聽到周圍的人形容自己容貌的轉變，更感鼓舞，知道相由心生，自己整個人正在轉好，以後不斷活得更積極。

(7) 自我手療生命改變----

阿燕是小學教師，自從做了手療師之後，她的生命徹底改變了：「你知道嗎？每一天，學校支薪讓我自我療癒整整兩個鐘頭哩！現在我在操場或飯堂當值監察著學牛玩耍或做事的時候，我都把一隻手放在身體一個部位，意識著宇宙的生命力正在引進其內。我上課時聽學生做報告或督導他們溫習時，一隻手托著腮或面頰，享受著溫馨強大的愛源源不絕流進體內，我參加周會看著聽著台上的一切，總不會忘記用手按著丹田，感應到自己整人生命力內在流動又與大宇宙的能量交換……。

「漸漸，我的注意力更集中、活力更充沛、身體大大小小毛病消失、脾氣改善、消化排泄更佳，感覺到世界更可愛，人家也覺得我越來越多愛心，我的內心世界平安欣悅，生命更有方向有意義。」

(8) 手療為她意義重大，影響深遠----

        「從Club O 的一些活動中，我吸收不少保健及其他綠色生活知識(包括健康飲食、氣功排毒、減壓、養生、療癒和地球/心靈環保等等)。當中最寶貴而令我不斷變好的就是參加了手療工作坊，學上了手療成為手療師，為我的生命増添了重大及影響深遠的意義。
        「在替人做手療過程中，不單只助人療癒，還真正體驗到『施比受更有褔』，欣然享受到做上天祝福人間的中介者那份福氣，榮幸和喜悅。十分感動和感恩（上天和受者的造緣）！另外，它也啟發了我靈修和修德的重要性，因為不單有助提昇手療功力，還會提昇我們的靈性和與人和萬物眾生的關係。在生活修行中，我變得漸對萬物有情，生活覺大大提昇，對所有接觸過或遇上的人、事、物都感恩，更強烈感受到「活在當下」那種開懷的美妙享受，天堂真的就在此時此刻的心種！
        「話說奇怪，自從學上了手療（包括不斷練習及靈修），不但奇跡事件多了，莫名的直覺和預感也較前多了和靈驗。
        「現在我再不用擔心將來年紀體魄老弱之時會變得無用，甚至會負累家人，因為我仍可繼續做手療助人助已，正因這毫不費力，而且宇宙能量是取之不竭呢！」

(9) 學了做手療，生命不再一樣----

一位香港女士Emily參加了手療工作，生命改變了，正如她說：「在過去一年中，因緣際會，讓我接觸到一些自然療法，與Club O的手療理念相近，都是利用人的愛心和意念作為中介或導引，把天地宇宙的能量送到受助人身上，體驗出人間的大愛和真善美。……

「在最近的數屆手療工作坊，我都全心投入參與學習結緣，每次都有良好反應和開悟，而我也借助這個悉心佈置的能量場，實習我所認識的一些技術，這些技術是思維波、感情波、聲音波等，借助這些波，作為轉送能量或信息的媒介。……

「真的，當人們的生活態度愈是與天意接近時，人們便愈能對宇宙的能量予取予攜，也自然愈會減少違背天意的行為，生活便會愈見如意，得心應手，如獲天助。我是以感恩和謙卑的心情道出以上看法，而以上這些得益是福氣，當我們享有時，記得享福不忘積福，要厚德載物，否則福享完後便沒有了。做個好的療癒師，便是為自己及宇宙積福，得以福澤綿長。

「成為療癒師後，我加強了為眾生做事的願望，時常憑直覺做事，對於生命中出現的種種神奇巧合，常有感恩的會心微笑；而智能和靈性也較前成熟，內心充滿法喜。」
