The Japanese call this subtle energy "Ki," the Chinese "Chi," while the Greeks refer to it as "Pneuma." In Polynesian it is known as "Mana" and in Hebrew, "Ruah" meaning "Breath of Life" as in the Old Testament. Vital energy is found in several forms: earth prana, air prana, solar prana and Divine prana.

As an art and science, Pranic Healing was widely practiced in the ancient civilizations of China, Egypt and India. In Pranic Healing, healing is accomplished by removing negative or disease energy from the patient's energy body and transferring fresh prana to the affected areas.

ranic Healing is based on the principle that body has the ability to heal it's self. It utilizes life force as fuel to initiate the necessary biochemical changes to make this happen. Using a scientific "no-touch" methodology, Pranic Healing can prevent and heal a whole spectrum of physical, emotional and mental ailments. Because the methods are simple a easy to understand, anyone can learn and apply pranic healing in a short amount of time.

Pranic Healing was reintroduced in its present form by Master Choa Kok Sui, best selling author of the books Pranic Healing and Pranic Psychotherapy (translated into over 16 languages.) Based on the ancient texts and traditions of Chinese medicine, esoteric healing and a synthesis of many other Oriental healing techniques, Pranic Healing was developed after decades of investigation and further experiments with medical doctors.

Healing centers have been started in over 30 countries, many in Third World countries where inexpensive medical care is urgently needed.
