Pranic Healing
What is pranic healing? A quick guide to how this complementary therapy, based on energy healing, is achieving results. By Sara Bains
Have you noticed how much we refer to the word ‘energy’ in our everyday conversations? We talk about being ‘full of energy’ or we say things like, ‘I haven’t got the energy today’.
Our bodies draw in energy, or prana, from different sources. The sun provides solar prana, we breathe in air prana via our lungs, subconsciously we draw in prana from the ground via our feet, and nature itself is also a source of prana. Since quantum mechanics tells us that all particles are in fact waves, we can essentially understand that everything around us is constructed from particles of energy.
‘Prana’ comes from the Sanskrit word meaning energy or life force; it is also referred to as ‘Chi’ in Chinese (Tai Chi) or ‘Ki’in Japanese (Aikido).
Generally, if the energy or life force of a person is unclean and low, the vitality and health of that person may be negatively affected. Conversely, if their life force is plentiful, the person will be vibrant and healthy.
