Pranacharya or Prana Lifeforce Healing (often misinterpreted as ReiKi, which is a narrower form of energy healing) uses no touch and/or distance techniques like cleansing and energizing the body’s (prana) lifeforce energy field to improve physical, emotional, and mental health & well-being. Benefits include reduced stress and anxiety, increased energy, better emotional stability, and support for physical & mental healing. The process involves systematically scanning the energy body for blockages, “sweeping” them away, and then “energizing” the affected areas with life force energy (prana). Note: ReiKi (energy healing) was designed and popularized in Korea in 1920s- compared to Prana Lifeforce Healing (Pranacharya) which has been around for millennia, is a broader and deeper method of lifeforce energy healing with its roots in the Himalayas of both ancient India, Nepal, and Tibet, as well as South of India (Kerala and Tamil Nadu). In the South of India it was incorporated into Siddha Medicine, Marma Chikitsa (acupressure), and Ayurveda. Only after many decades does a Vaidya (Siddha or Ayurveda doctor) qualify to be trained and groomed as a Pranacharya (master of Prana Lifeforce Healing).
How it works
- Cleansing: The practitioner follows Prana Lifeforce energy lines and scans the body to find blockages of Prana Lifeforce (energy) that may be causing physical, emotional, or mental issues.
- Sweeping: Negative or blockages of Prana Lifeforce energy is then swept away from the various auras (energy fields) and five sheaths (koshas) as well as the physical, prana, astral, and causal bodies
- Energizing: The practitioner uses their hands to channel Prana Lifeforce (energy) into the physical and/or subtle bodies to restore balance and vitality.
- No-touch therapy: Prana Lifeforce Healing is usually a no-contact therapy that works on the energy body, which is believed to be connected to the physical body.
