Alternative therapies can be a positive experience for people who feel that they need to heal from emotional distress or negative energy that is holding them back. There are many different options for healing your body and spirit but some of the practices that are growing in popularity are reiki and pranic healing. Both of these healing practices are based on the idea of cleansing the flow of energy in a person’s body so that they are not experience any stagnation or blockage.
These two healing practices can be very different in some ways but they are both centered around the concept that people can access healing energies to help themselves and others. People can store negative energy in their bodies or in their “aura” and it needs to be removed to allow a smooth and natural flow of positive energy. This negative energy can come in the form of emotions, pain, and physical ailments that can affect your day to day life.
Introduction to Energy Healing
Energy Healing is an ancient holistic practice that alters the human body’s subtle energy fields to address wellness. It consists of several techniques that are directed towards harmonizing and restoring balance to these energies, which are believed to be the reason behind our physical and emotional well-being.
Conventional medicines are all about addressing the physical symptoms, while energy healing takes a completely different route and emphasizes purely the non-physical dimensions of human well-being. Various cultures around the world have practiced traditional healing systems, giving it a deep-rooted history.
There are several energy therapies like Reiki, acupuncture, sound energy, pranic energy, etc. with each aiming a common goal of aligning the body’s energy for optimal growth. Over time, these energy-healing practices have become popular and recognized for their ability to alleviate pain, improve sleep, and promote mental and emotional well-being. These practices also enhance the body’s natural healing abilities.
Let’s explore the fascinating world of energy healing and the role it plays as a holistic healing service.
What is Pranic Healing?
Pranic Healing is a form of energy healing that brings balance to the body’s energy fields thus promoting physical, emotional, and mental well-being. “Prana” is the vital life force that keeps all living beings alive. Pranic Healing practitioners believe that there are certain imbalances and blockages within the human body that limit or inhibit the flow of prana. The blocked or limited flow of prana inside the body can lead to different health issues depending on where the blockage is.
During a Pranic Healing Session, the practitioner cleanses the recipient’s energy centers (chakras), and energy pathways using his hands. This process removes any diseased or unpleasant energy from the body and replenishes it with fresh, revitalizing prana. Pranic Healing is thought to relieve stress, reduce pain, and improve health by increasing the body’s natural healing process.
Pranic Healing is a completely non-invasive healing method and can be conducted both in person and from a distance using distance healing techniques. This makes it accessible for everyone who is seeking alternative healing methods and well-being. The pranic healing technique was first developed by Grandmaster Choa Kok Sui but has now become a very popular form of complementary technique in many parts of the world.
How Does Pranic Healing Work?
The Pranic Healing system believes that the human body consists of energy centers called chakras and energy pathways called meridians. Together they form the energy system called prana (life). Here’s how Pranic Healing works:
Step One: Energy Cleansing
The first step, Cleansing, is directed towards removing any congested or diseased energy from the patient’s body. Pranic Healers use their hands to remove these negative energies from the recipient’s body. It appears as if the healer is sweeping this old-dead energy like one sweeps dust from a surface. This process removes all energy blockages and dead energy to make room for the infusion of fresh energy (prana).
Step Two: Vital Energy Infusion
After cleansing the body from dead and stagnant energy, the healer begins to channel fresh energy (prana) into the energy centers (chakras) and energy pathways (meridians). The healer uses the surroundings to source fresh energy. This infusion nourishes and revitalizes the affected areas.
Step Three: Balancing Energies
Pranic Healers can detect imbalances in the energy in the chakras of the human body. They are trained to bring back any imbalances to a balanced state by using specialized and specific techniques. Once the chakras are balanced, they begin to facilitate healing, both physical and emotional.
Step Four: Ailment-Targeting Healing
Pranic Healers can target specific health issues and not the overall chakras system. By using specialized techniques and protocols to target specific ailments such as physical pain, emotional distress, and mental imbalances. This targeted healing process aims at improving the natural process of healing of the human body.
Preventive Healing For Long-Term Wellness
Pranic healing can also be utilized for preventive curing purposes and not just curing existing health conditions. Regular and planned pranic healing sessions can be extremely beneficial for the body as they can help in maintaining a healthy energy body and prevent illnesses from occurring.
Distance Healing When In-Person Isn’t Available
Pranic Healing is not limited to physical boundaries. It can be conducted in person or remotely via distance healing techniques. Energy is not bound by physical proximity to the person. A skilled pranic healer can easily alter the energies of a person far away and begin the process of healing.
Pranic healing is in no way a replacement for conventional medical treatment; it is a complementary therapy to support the healing process. The effectiveness of pranic healing is widely reported to be successful, but scientific research hasn’t concluded so as yet.
What is Reiki Healing?
Reiki is a Japanese healing technique designed to promote relaxation, emotional stability and mental clarity. It is administered through the method of “laying on hands” and placing hands in certain areas to cleanse the chakras. During reiki energy healing, energy flows out of the hands and into the areas that need to be healed so that a person’s unseen life force energy is renewed.
People who have low life force energy will start to feel sick or stressed out because they have a blockage or areas of stagnation. A reiki healer can find these blocked areas and clear them through the healing method. However, even people with little or no healing experience can perform reiki on themselves or loved ones to promote positive energy flow.
You can attend reiki classes where the teacher can pass on the ability of “attunement” that allows you to tap into the unlimited supply of life force energy. Reiki healing does not require intensive training and is available to anyone that wants to promote health and better quality of life through energy flow. People look to reiki as a way to treat the whole self including mind, body and spirit.
How Does Reiki Healing Work?
Reiki Healing is a holistic alternative therapy that channels the universal life force energy. It is used to facilitate the channeling of the universal life force to promote balance and healing in the recipient. Here’s how Reiki works and its key principles:
Universal Life Energy
Reiki practitioners believe there is a universal life force energy that surrounds and penetrates everything. “Rei” is a Japanese word that means universal and “Ki” means life force energy. The process of harnessing and directing the universal energy is called “Reiki”.
Chakras (Energy Centers)
Reiki believes in the concept of chakras which are supposed to be energy centers inside the body. These chakras can be blocked or can be imbalanced causing emotional and physical distress. Reiki practitioners believe that these chakras can be brought back to a state of harmony.
Channeling Life Force Energy
Reiki practitioners are attuned by a Reiki master and they can only then access and channel the universal energy. A Reiki practitioner can transfer this energy from his hands into the recipient’s hands.
Hands-On Healing
A Reiki practitioner places his hand near a recipient’s body to allow the flow of energy to clear energy blockages and promote healing and relaxation.
Balancing and Healing
When transferring the energy to the recipient’s body, the practitioner makes sure that it promotes physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This accelerates the body’s natural healing process.
Intuitive Guidance
A reiki practitioner can understand the energy flow of the recipient’s body. They use their intuition to guide the flow of energy to specific body parts that need attention. They also use specific symbols and hand positions to guide the energy.
Self-Healing
Reiki can be used for self-healing purposes. A reiki practitioner can apply reiki to address personal imbalances and distress.
Not a Replacement Therapy
Reiki is a complementary therapy that is used alongside conventional medical treatment. It is not a replacement for conventional medical treatment. It is used alongside regular treatment to improve the rate of healing and improve the chances of success.
In essence, Reiki is a gentle, holistic therapy that promotes the overall well-being of an individual by enhancing the flow of energy and the body’s self-healing capabilities.
The Differences between Reiki and Pranic Healing
Although they are both based on energy healing techniques, pranic is a unique practice with many differences from reiki. Firstly, the pranic method often starts with an energy assessment of the individual through a “scan” of their aura or energetic spirit. This scan can help recognize areas of energy depletion or congestion which will help identify areas that need focused healing.
This type of assessment technique in pranic is not usually performed in reiki which relies more on the healer’s intuition to identify problem areas throughout the process of healing. After the assessment, the pranic practitioner will use a manual cleansing technique known as “sweeping” which helps remove the blockages and stagnant energies to allow fresh energy to flow. Reiki doesn’t employ any type of sweeping method but simply allows energy to flow out of the hands directly into problem areas.
According to pranic practice, every ailment produces a unique set of energy patterns that can be identified in the body’s major chakras and numerous meridians. There are specific cleansing routines used for these energy patterns that are matched to the illness. In this sense, pranic is more targeted on particular ailments and can work more quickly and effectively.
Pranic also includes other practices such as “energy hygiene” which involves a set of guidelines for breathing, dietary recommendations and cleansing routines designed to keep your personal energy flow full and clean. It can be a helpful practice for practitioners to rid themselves of any negative energy that they pick up from cleansing others and prevents them from being drained of their life force.
