Abstract

Pranic Healing is a form of ancient energy medicine, which utilizes the inherent energy Prana (life force or energy) to balance, and promote the body's energy and its processes. Prana is a Sanskrit word which actually means, the vital force that keeps us alive and healthy. Pranic healing is a holistic approach as it assumes a person in its complexity and does not separate the body and the mind. It involves the manipulation of ki and bioplasmic matter of the patient's body. It has also been called medical qigong (ki kung or ki healing), psyhic healing, vitalic healing, therapeutic touch, laying of the hand, magnetic healing, faith healing and charismatic healing.
