Executive Summary

This report is a description of Pranic Healing offered to inmates of Mysore Central Prison in an uncontrolled environment. Pranic Healing is an ancient science and art of healing using Prana or life force. Pranic Healing is not a replacement to orthodox medicine, but a compliment to it. It is a no-Touch and drugless therapy. Yoga Dasara 2013 sub-committee along with Mysore Central Prison provided an opportunity to Yoga Vidya Pranic Healing Foundation of Karnataka (YVPHFK), to apply Pranic Healing Techniques on prisoners from September 30 to October 5th 2013, to improve their functional health and well-being of inmates. To measure the functional health and wellbeing of inmates; COOP/WONCA Charts

were used. 38 inmates of Mysore Central Prison volunteered to undergo Pranic

Healing session for a span of one week. The COOP/WONCA charts cover the

domains: physical (fitness and daily activities), mental (emotions), social (social

contacts), and above that general health and change in health status.

At the end of Pranic healing sessions, assessments of the 38 inmates were carried

out. The Pre Pranic Healing and the Post Pranic Healing scores showed a significant

improvement in six domains; Physical fitness (0.016), Feelings (0.001), Change in

Health (0.000), Overall Health (0.043), Pain (0.000) and Sleep (0.006). Domains

which could not show significant improvements were Daily Activities (0.210) and

Social Activities (0.432).

There are many Pranic Healing practitioners worldwide who are providing excellent care to fellow humans. Many are experiencing the benefits of Pranic Healing in various levels. As we continue to grow and evolve in the practice of Pranic Healing, it is important to share the findings with the community.

Introduction

Pranic Healing is an ancient science and art that utilizes prana or life energy to heal ailments in the body. Ancient cultures practiced similar modes of healing known as shamanic healing, divine healing, healing by mantra, among others. It has been acknowledged that complementary therapies are commonly used in many communities around the world. Pranic Healing is based on the overall structure of human body. Man’s whole body is

actually composed of two parts visible physical body and invisible energy body called

as bioplasmic body. The visible physical body is that part of the human body that we

see, touch, and are most acquainted with. The bioplasimic body is that invisible

luminous energy body which interpenetrates the visible physical body and extend

beyond it by four to five inches in a normal person.

‘Prana’ is a Sanskrit word that means life-force. This invisible bio-energy or vital energy keeps the body alive and maintains a state of good health. This energy is subtle but pervasive. The natural condition of the body’s energy is balanced. When the body’s prana or ki is too much or too little, it becomes unhealthy. The result is the body is unable to function properly, and eventually turns to illness. In Pranic Healing, subjects are treated with Prana thereby assisting and accelerating the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Pranic Healing is a highly evolved energy medicine developed by Master Choa Kok

Sui that utilizes prana to balance, harmonize and transform the body's energy

processes. In acupuncture, the Chinese refer to this subtle energy as Chi. It is also

called Ruah or the Breath of Life in Hebrew.

Pranic Healing is a simple yet powerful & effective system of no-touch energy

healing. It is based on the fundamental principles that the body is a self-repairing

living entity that possesses the ability to heal itself and that the healing process is

accelerated by increasing this life force that is readily available from the sun, air and

ground to address physical & emotional imbalances. Master Choa Kok Sui says "Life

Energy or prana is all around us. It is pervasive; we are actually in an ocean of Life

Energy. Based on this principle, a healer can draw in Pranic Energy or Life Energy

from the surroundings."

Pranic Healing requires no drugs, gadgets, not even physical contact with the

subject. Physical contact is not required because the practitioner is working on the

bioplasmic or energy body and not directly on the physical body. This energy body,

or aura, is the mould or blueprint that surrounds and interpenetrates the physical

body. It is the energy body that absorbs life energy and distributes it throughout the

physical body, to the muscles, organs, glands, etc.

Bio-Plasma is the scientific name for Prana. Bio-Plasma comes from the word ‘bio’

which means life and ‘plasma’ which is the fourth state of matter. The earlier three

being Solid, Liquid and Gas. Plasma is ionized gas

or gas particles with positive or negative charged

particles.

The Kirlian photography refers to the resulting

image of a gas discharge; "fluorescence" or glow

that appears around the edge of a subject after it is

placed in a high-intensity electrical field that is

captured on a photo-material. Scientists have been

able to study, observe, and take pictures of small

articles like fingers, leaves, etc.

The Gas Discharge Visualization technique (GDV)

gives a real-time viewing of the human energy field.

The visible physical body is moulded after the

energy body. They are so closely related that what

affects one affects the other. If the energy body is

depleted or congested with Prana, the physical body

gets sick. When the energy body is healed, the

corresponding physical body also gets healed.

Energy body of a depressed person is one to two inches while a person suffering

from chronic ailment has imbalanced energy body and it is lacking in energy. GDV

photography shows that a healthy person has uniform Pranic energy and dense

energy field. A person suffering from pain has imbalanced energy field. Pranic

Healing techniques like cleansing and energising can balance the energy body.

Pranic Healing is Complementary to orthodox or western medical treatment. It requires no drugs, gadgets, not even physical contact with the subject. Pranic Healing reduces or completely relieves pains like headache, gas pain or muscle pain, and aids in healing the physical body. It also affects our emotions, our ability to handle stress. There are numerous Pranic Healing protocols provided by Master Choa Kok Sui that aid to improve the physiological and psychological condition. The Pranic Healing protocols are based on seven basic techniques Important Pranic Healing techniques are as follows

1) Sensitizing the hands 2) Scanning the Aura 3) Increasing the receptivity 3) Sweeping or cleansing (general and localized) 4) Energizing with prana 5) Stabilizing the projected prana 6) Releasing

To alleviate the condition of prisoners at Mysore Central Prison, Yoga Vidya Pranic Healing Foundation of Karnataka was provided an opportunity to apply Pranic Healing during the Dasara 2013 by Yoga Dasara Sub-committee. A prisoner, also known as an inmate, is a person who is deprived of liberty against their will. Long-term stays in solitary confinement can cause prisoners to develop clinical depression, anxiety, insomnia, distortions of perception, and hallucinations among other psychological disorders. A shift takes place from a craving for greater social contact, to a fear of it. Central Jail has prisoners who are sentenced to imprisonment for a longer period and these jails also have rehabilitation facilities. In recent times there is a considerable change in social perception towards the prisoners. The prisons are no longer regarded as places for punishment only. They are now being considered as reformatories and greater attention is given to ameliorate the conditions in jails so that they have a healthy impact on the prisoners in developing a positive attitude towards life and society. The main objective of applying Pranic Healing on inmates is to improve their functional health and wellbeing and to provide preliminary evidence as to the magnitude of qualitative and quantitative change brought by Pranic Healing, if found.

Methodology

Design

One group Pre-test, post-test designs is used for the purpose of measuring changes resulting from Pranic Healing sessions. Pranic Healing sessions were offered in an uncontrolled manner. Source of Data Pranic Healing sessions were carried out on interested inmates at Mysore Central Prison. Inmates were provided an opportunity to receive 6 Pranic healing sessions in a span of one week.

Participants

During September 2013 more than 1,100 inmates were in Mysore Central Prison. To inform prisoners about introductory session and weeklong Pranic Healing program an announcement was made by Prison staffs. 38 inmates were interested to participate in this study and all were included in the study. Participants had a median age of 42.8 years (range 28-65), all the inmates were male with education qualification ranging from unschooled to Degree holders with no previous experience of Pranic Healing.

Data Collection

To screen functional data quickly, CO-OP/ WONCA chart was used (Nelson et al.

1987, Scholten & Van Weel, 1991; Van Weel et al., 1995). It had the following

domains, physical function, feelings, daily activities, social activities, social support,

change in health and overall health. The psychometric characteristics are

acceptable, taking into account that it concerns a generic instrument to assess

functional status with one question in six different domains.

Additional domains of Pain and Sleep status were also used. Data was collected pre Pranic healing and Post Pranic Healing. For further information, please refer appendix. Reliability As each scale is represented by one item, the reliability of the CO-OP/ WONCA charts can only be assessed by a test-retest study. The test-retest reliability of the original Dartmouth version was satisfactory (Nelson et al. 1990). In a Dutch test-retest study which used the COOP function charts test-retest coefficients ranged over an interval of three weeks from r = 0.67 to 0.82, Kappa’s = 0.49 to 0.59, and over an interval of one year r = 0.36 to 0.72, Kappa’s = 0.31 - 0.38 (Meyboom- de Jong & Smith, 1990). The test-retest reliability of the (Dutch version of the) CO-OP/ WONCA charts has not yet been assessed. However, it can be assumed that it will not much differ from the COOP function charts, given the similarities between the two versions. Reliability for Pain and Sleep scales has not been tested. For further information, please refer appendix.

Scaling of items

The scaling of items was between 1 to 5 with 1 being no impairment and 5 being the

most impaired. Cartoon illustrations of levels were also in the questionnaire so as to

help the beneficiaries fill the form better.

Administration

The co-op charts have to be self-administered by beneficiaries. For those who can’t read it will be interview based score administration

Time to complete

1-2 minutes for 3 charts as expressed in COOP charts (Nelson, Wasson, Kirk et al.); 4 to 5 minutes may be needed to complete all the 8 domain’s.

Number of items

COOP/ WONCA charts with six domains, Physical function, Emotional function, Daily activities, Social activities, Social support, Change in health, Overall health, and Total score along with additional charts for Pain and sleep was used.

Statistical test

The data collected have been analysed using Descriptive Statistics - Contingency

Coefficient and the results obtained have been interpreted.

Duration of Pranic Healing

A Pranic Healing session normally takes 18 to 20 minutes per inmate, healing

sessions will be offered between the hours of 7:30 am in the morning till 9:00 am.

Pranic healing session will be applied from 30th September till the 5th October;

Participants are intimated to receive Pranic Healing for 3 days or more.

Procedures Used for Healing

Protocols provided by Master Choa Kok Sui in the books Advanced Pranic Healing

and Pranic Psychotherapy were used for healing. For further information, please

refer appendix.

Public Notice

A brief introduction on ‘Pranic Healing was delivered so as to inform the participants

on the benefits of using Prana in improving overall health. This was basically to

make the beneficiary to understand the process of Pranic Healing. Public notice was

elaborated during the session. For further information on Public Notice, please refer

appendix.

Healers Criteria

A team of Pranic Healers who had many years of experience in healing were chosen

so as to make the beneficiaries comfortable.

Breathing Exercises

Breathing exercise was introduced to beneficiaries to better absorb air and Pranic

energy. Abdominal breathing which is a natural way of breathing was reintroduced.

The abdomen expands when inhaling and contracts during exhalation. Breathing

exercises make a person’s energy body stronger and denser. It revitalises the

person and keeps them healthy. It also helps a person to de-stress and to have inner

calmness. During the Pranic healing sessions Beneficiaries were guided with Pranic

Breathing technique by following steps

1. Sit in an easy posture, with chest and head as nearly in a straight line as

possible and hands resting easily on the lap. 2. Inhale and exhale slowly through the nostrils. They were asked to expand

abdomen when inhaling and contracts during exhalation. 3. Inhale slowly, counting six pulse units. 4. Retain, counting three pulse units.

5. Exhale slowly, counting six pulse units. 6. Retain, counting three pulse units.

Arrangements

Healing sessions will be done in a comfortable place in Mysore Central Prison with

the beneficiaries seated on chairs in a comfortable position. During Pranic Healing

sessions Salt water bowl would be used to dispense the used up energy containing a

litre of water along with a fistful of salt.

Procedure

On the last week of September, Inmates of Mysore Central Prison were highlighted

on the importance of Pranic healing in an introductory session conducted by MCKS’s

student Mr. Srikanth Jois. The session basically focused on making the inmate

aware of the Existence of Prana or the subtle energy. In one of the experiments

carried out during this introductory session, beneficiaries were able to feel the Prana

between their hands.

It was mentioned that, Pranic healing is a No-Touch therapy; the healer stands one

meter away from the patient to apply healing. Pranic healing is a drug less therapy

that complements the efforts of medicine.

After sensitizing beneficiaries about the existence of Prana a Questionnaire framed with domains in COOP/WONCA Chart along with two domains was given. Many were able to do a self-assessment, for few the volunteers of Yoga Vidya Pranic Healing Foundation of Karnataka assisted them in completing the questionnaire. Some of the aspects that were evident from the questionnaire were sleeplessness, stress, Knee pain, Back pain, Gastric problems etc. Based on beneficiaries conditions specific Pranic Healing Protocols were referred from Master Choa Kok Sui books and applied by the Pranic Healers. Healer would apply ‘scanning,’ a method to feel the energy, apply ‘cleaning’ a method to remove the unwanted energy and latter ‘energies’ a method to fasten the healing process. A healing session lasts for 20 minutes per inmate. The person receiving Pranic Healing was asked to sit in a relaxed position on a chair; the healer will be at a distance of one to two meters. The healer removes the used up energies from the affected areas by cleansing and disintegrates this energy in a salt basin. The healer will latter energise the affected areas using Prana.

The ‘lower’ indicates inmates with no formal education, up to middle school -7th Std,

‘Moderate’ is for high school and Pre University, and Higher with qualification of

degree and above.

In the Pain and sleep domain the ‘moderate’ is indicating a significant change of

(.025) and (.052) respectively. All the three groups Lower, Moderate and High are

indicating a positive response for Pranic Healing sessions.

The effects of Pranic Healing sessions was assessed in terms of Educational

background of Lower, Moderate and Higher groups, there is uniqueness that can be

highlighted.

Discussion

Hypotheses Related Discussion

1. There will be significant improvement in the functional health of prisoners after Pranic healing practice with respect to

(a) Physical fitness (b) Daily Activity (c) Social Activity (d) Sleep

2. There will be significant improvement in the well-being of Prisoners after

Pranic Healing practice with respect to (a) Feelings (b) Change in Health (c) Overall Health (d) Pain

Hypothesis 1 (a), (b) was accepted, we find from results that inmates showed a

significant improvement after Pranic healing sessions. A few inmates reduced their

total Physical Fitness scores from 5 to 2, a drastic change of 3 scores.

Hypothesis 1 (b), (C) is rejected since values obtained for statistical analysis were

found to be positive but not significant. To bring a significant change in inmate’s

Daily activities and Social activities,

1) A longer intervention of Pranic healing sessions was of need 2) Many inmates were not having limitation to do their daily activities in pre

healing 3) Many inmates expressed that they are not experiencing any limitation in their

Social activities in pre healing or post healing. Hypothesis 2 (a), (b), (c), (d): was accepted, we find from results that inmates

showed a significant improvement after Pranic healing sessions.

We also find that inmates below 40 years of age were responding better for Pranic Healing sessions compared to above 40 years in the domains of Pain (0.008), Overall Health (0.047), Change in health (0.014), and Feelings (0.006).

The influence of age in improving functional health and wellbeing of prisoners was assessed and found that, in senior ages a series of mild Pranic Healing sessions are needed since their ability to absorb Prana is very slow. The rate of healing would be very fast in middle aged as the capacity to absorb and assimilate the Prana is greater during the Pranic Healing sessions.

These figures provide preliminary evidence as to the magnitude of qualitative and

quantitative change brought by Pranic Healing.

Pranic Healing techniques that manifested these changes are

1) Sensitizing the hands 2) Scanning 3) Cleansing 4) Increasing the receptivity 5) Energizing with Prana 6) Stabilizing the projected prana 7) Releasing

Among the seven techniques, Cleansing and Energising with Prana are two

important techniques. The cleansing technique disintegrate unwholesome energies

existing in the Aura

A large number of ailments can be traced to "avoidable emotional and psychological

problems" most of problems today is at the emotional level, problems related to

stress; worry, tension and anxiety are the root cause of most of today’s ailments.

Pranic Psychotherapy targets just this. Each negative thought and emotion creates

packets of energy called thought-forms or thought-entities that contaminate our aura.

Using the tools of psychotherapy, these can be disintegrated helping the patient

overcome his emotional problems much more quickly and easily. Below are a few

Pranic Healing protocols

Pranic Healing procedure for sleeplessness

Persons with healthy and active basic chakras are dynamic. But persons with over

activated basic chakras are hyperactive, restless, and have difficulty in sleeping.

Those suffering from sleeplessness have over activated basic chakras.

The over activation of the basic chakra could be caused by emotional factors. The

solar plexus chakra is usually over activated and congested. The crown, forehead,

ajna, and throat chakras are partially affected.

1. Scan and rescan during Pranic treatment

2. Apply general sweeping twice

3. Apply localized sweeping thoroughly on the solar plexus chakra and the

basic chakra. This will gradually normalize the basic and solar plexus

chakras. In many cases, if this step is applied properly, the subject can fall

asleep.

4. If it is necessary, inhibit the basic chakra and the solar plexus chakra with

light whitish blue prana for three breathing cycles. Blue prana is soothing

and sleep-inducing.

5. Apply localized sweeping on the crown, forehead, ajna, and throat

chakras.

6. Apply localized sweeping on the navel chakra and energize it with white prana to strengthen the body.

7. Stabilize and release the projected pranic energy.

Pranic healing Procedure for Pain

1. Apply localized sweeping to the affected part and on the affected minor chakras.

2. Energize with prana for seven breathing cycles. Energizing the affected part directly is quite effective in producing instant relief. Very often, the relief for pain is instantaneous and permanent as long as the patient does not immediately overexert the treated part.

3. For an old pain, it may require several treatments to produce permanent relief

4. Bring an overall change in health with holistic treatment of Pranic healing procedures as though by Master Choa Kok Sui.

Concerns

There were more than 1,100 inmates in prison during this study, only a few were

interested in Pranic Healing on the first day by the third day more people joined, on

the 5th and 6th day of our healing more people wanted to get themselves a healing

sessions. Our plan was to apply at least 3 healing sessions on patients to bring a

significant change in them and to record.

Pranic Healing session was applied on more than 20 inmates whom we have not

accounted in this report. It was our concern to apply Pranic healing on many inmates

at a short duration of time with limited healers. However it was interesting to see the

positive response from the inmates.

Limitations of the study

Although this kind of reports represents the low level of evidence in the hierarchy of

research design, they can significantly contribute as a complimentary therapy in

health care. They provide new ideas for treatment and help in establishing new

standards of care and direction for further research.

The main limitation in the present study was self-rating which is a concern when

individuals are given self-appraisals. Individuals have difficulty rating their behavior

with accuracy. People often overrate themselves, some underestimate themselves,

and a few accurately rate themselves.

Recommendations

Based on the positive changes noticed by applying Pranic Healing, we recommend

Additional research to further validate the findings of the study.

More research is needed in Pranic Psychotherapy, a powerful tool that can be

used to help people suffering from depression, trauma, obsessive compulsive

disorders, addictions or even just stress, anger or worry.

Further research should be focused on the other age groups such as children

and elderly.

Further research needs to be conducted on different cultures and economic

background.

COOP / WONCA Charts The COOP/WONCA Charts were developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s under

the auspices of WONCA, with the aim of subjectively evaluating an individual’s

functional status, defined as assessing his or her physical, emotional, and social

well-being. These charts measure functioning in 6 aforementioned domains, each

chart consists of a single question referring to the preceding 2 weeks and has 5

possible answers, illustrated by a simple picture. This tool has been translated into

multiple languages and validated in several countries.

The last decennia, the interest in questionnaires that evaluate the health or functional status of subjects and that measure the health outcome of patients after an intervention is growing. The classic outcome parameters, mortality and morbidity, do not discriminate enough anymore and the consequences of diseases as classified by the International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities and Handicaps are too much doctor centred. Functional status and quality of life represent the perspective of patients better, particularly in the case of patients with chronic diseases, whose number is growing. Above that, the improvement of well-being is an important goal of primary care; and a number of studies suggest that subjective evaluations of health may be better predictors of mortality than the severity of health problems as diagnosed by doctors or by individuals themselves (Idler & Kasl). As a consequence, the interest in instruments to assess health status, functional status and health related quality of life is increasing all over the world. Many instruments, questionnaires and check lists are available both to discriminate at one point in time between individuals with different characteristics or between patients with one or more diseases, and for evaluative purposes for follow-up of individuals or patients over time (Gyatt,). In daily practice, however, long questionnaires with good psychometric characteristics cannot be used. In that case, the COOP/WONCA charts with one item per domain are a feasible alternative to start with. The COOP/WONCA charts, orginally developed by Nelson and further promoted by WONCA belong to the public domain. They can be used in research, and patient care, in particular during face-to-face contacts in primary health care.

Master Choa Kok Sui

An author and teacher of international calibre, Master Choa Kok Sui is the modern founder of Pranic Healing. He devoted over 30 years of study on the use of subtle energy to heal.

He has transformed the truth and ideas into simple teachings that demystified the world of energy healing and he has made it accessible to everyone. Master Choa has authored 20 books published in 27 languages. His work has spread in several countries in less than two decades.

Master Choa once wrote, ‘just because science is not able to detect and measure life energy or Prana, it does not mean that Prana does not exist or does not affect the health and well-being of body’.

‘In ancient times, people were not aware of the existence of electricity; it does not mean the electricity did not exist. One’s ignorance does not change reality; it simply alters the perception or reality, resulting in misconception and misperception, of what is and what is not, what can be done and what cannot be done’.

Master Choa’s combined experience as teacher, an extraordinary healer, a scientist and a successful businessman has provided him with unique and affective ways to address modern day’s problems through the application of energy. All of this is expressed and shared his books and courses.

One can discover miraculous possibilities by applying Pranic healing and super brain technique in life. Now more than ever improved health and wellbeing is at your fingertips.
