The term Pran
Chikitsa (Pran Therapy) has been mentioned in the Vedas,
ancient literatures on therapy and Ayurvedic scriptures like
Sushrut Samhita. It appears in many variations and
definitions, but the Pran Therapy is not based on any
literature, book knowledge and theoretical technique. It is
based on the patient. A relationship of identification is
established with the patient to absorb his pain, to immerse
one in the intensity of the anguish felt by him and feeling
his pain, to see and understand what causes the pain. This is
possible only when one will assimilate vital force, dissolve
ego and surrender to serve him. In fact, the process of
surrender is mutual, and in this process Pran or vital force
plays the main role. This force helps in diagnosis and acts as
medicine. In the Pran Therapy, medicines are used very rarely,
and only for external application. This therapy does not
depend on modern scientific tests.
In order to arrive at a complete and comprehensive diagnosis,
the patient's current physical condition, his psyche and
personal nature, and the symptoms of his disease are
considered. A treatment based on such comprehensiveness can
alone be truly effective. The treatment should be holistic,
comprehensive and involve all the organs of the body. A
disease cannot be understood properly and intensely if you
look at it only in parts. Treatment should cover both the body
and the mind. The causes are psychic, spiritual and physical.
Therefore, Pran Therapy basically works on the Pran or vital
force within the patient’s body, so that the body becomes
active on its own, and proceeds towards being free of the
malady. This process of treatment by Pran Therapy requires not
only establishing a wavelength with the patient, but also
activating his body. This activation has to be
health-oriented, which is possible through pure and dedicated
touch. The patient’s body is probed with a feeling of God’s
grace in your hands in order to find out which part or organ
of the body or which nervous system has a block or obstruction
and how much is the intensity of such obstruction. It is
believed that if the blockage is removed, the disease will
also go. so on the basis of this belief, the nervous system is
probed in order to identify the obstruction. This
health-oriented touch, made with Shiv Sankalp (holy vow), in
order to feel the obstructions, is the basic foundation of
Pran therapy. Today, the human touch has almost disappeared.
Now, there is no one anywhere who inquires about patient’s
disposition with complete affection. Machines, computers and
super specialists have taken over the treatment. In this
situation, if any practitioner of treatment probes and gets at
a hidden area of pain, the patient gets enormous satisfaction,
and his confidence develops into strong faith. Thousands of
patients have now developed faith and confidence in Pran
Therapy and surrendered themselves. This health- oriented
touch is a science itself and has a grammar of its own. This
is not a magic nor the miraculous touch of holy nature. The
grammar develops through a deep all-round understanding of the
disease, and varies with each person. The touch is given
according to the individual grammar that tingles his sensitive
spots, activates them and puts life into them. The spread of
new energy removes the obstacles, dislodges foreign fluids
etc. in the areas concerned and thus sets off a new flow of
the blood and the new life to the nervous system. The revival
of the nearly dead cells gets the patient rid of the malady.
The origin of this grammar of touch can be seen in the Vedas
and in other ancient literature. In some literature, some
sensitive spots are also described. But, this grammar is
totally subjective, and keeps varying. This kind of touch is
not confined to touching. Looking at the patient’s condition
and body, different vital spots are given different degrees of
pressure with different duration, according to the malady and
personality of each individual in order to activate them.
These vital spots are spread like a network from head to toe.
While applying pressure on the vital spots, the patient feels
pain for the time being, but the result is unimaginable
comfort and satisfaction. The spine is the most crucial part
among all the vital spots. It is also known as Mooladhar
(basic foundation). According to the modern science, the spine
is the root-foundation of our nervous system. The vital force
also spreads out through the spine. Therefore, in Pran
Therapy, the attention is mainly paid on the spine and it is
found out that which nerves emerging from the spine are strong
and active and which are weak and needs to be activated. The
activation of these nerves not only helps in curing the
disease, but also enhances and nourishes the Pran or vital
force of the patient and makes his attitude positive to help
him release from illness. |
