Pranic Healing for Happiness
The psychological and philosophical pursuit of happiness began in China, India and Greece nearly 2,500 years ago with Confucius, Buddha, Socrates, and Aristotle. Even after two millennia there remain millions of people who are unhappy. To put this into perspective, Master Choa Kok Sui’s Meditation on the Twin Hearts is a technique that we have taught to thousands of people across the years. During the start of the meditation, the practitioners are asked to think about two happy events in their life. Strangely this is something that most adults struggle to do!
To pin the source of unhappiness on one reason is a gross oversimplification of human emotions. There are multiple reasons why people are unhappy. Bad life experiences, strained relationships, lack of kindness and love, and sometimes the lack of meaning in life are some of the common reasons. Unhappiness in a sense is a world problem. Through Pranic Healing and Arhatic Yoga systems Master Choa Kok Sui has provided several tools which can be applied to make our lives happier and more fulfilling.
The Link Between Energy and Happiness
According to medical studies, up to 80% of ailments can be traced to “avoidable emotional and psychological problems” The heart of most of our 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. When you are stressed or worried or anxious or have low self-esteem you are unlikely to be happy. Today emotional and mental problems are proving to have a debilitating effect on the lives of people. We hear more and more about people becoming depressed. In response to this problem, MCKS came up with Pranic Psychotherapy.
Emotional Energies
We are swimming in an ocean of energy, and the very basis behind everything in our lives is energy. In addition to Prana or life-force energy, there is also something called emotional energy. For example, the emotion of sadness has a specific energy. It does not matter as to what is the reason for a person’s sadness; or whether that reason is logical to us or not. But if a person feels sad it is because there is a build-up of this type of energy in their aura. It is therefore nearly impossible for the person to not feel the energy of sadness. There are several negative emotions. These range from stress, anxiety, depression, anger, resentment, sadness, frustration, fear, trauma, and all the others. Emotions like these create clouds of grayish energy thereby making the aura dirty (depicted in the image alongside). Once the aura is dirty, it also inhibits the free-flow of Prana or life-energy through the aura, the meridians, and chakras which are critical for delivering fresh Prana to the entire body to keep us healthy.
So how can Pranic Psychotherapy help here? Pranic Psychotherapy is simply Pranic Healing applied in preventing, alleviating and treating psychological ailments. According to MCKS, Psychological ailments are basically the result of accumulation of negative thoughts, emotions and traumatic experiences, which are lodged in the auras and chakras. These energies are often difficult to release, requiring months or even years of traditional psychotherapy to experience any improvement. But Pranic Psychotherapy offers you the ability to quickly and safely release these crippling energetic patterns. The result will be peaceful emotions, harmonizing relationships, positive thinking patterns and good self-esteem.
Using the tools of Pranic Psychotherapy any negative thoughts, emotions, and patterns these can be easily disintegrated. This can help overcome emotional problems much more quickly and easily. Pranic Psychotherapy also offers you the ability to quickly and safely release negative thoughts and emotions like fear, anger and resentment that may be limiting you from your greater potential. All of these together contribute to a sense of calmness, inner peace, and happiness. It is is not possible to feel sad without sadness energy in your system. It is not possible to feel anger without anger energy in your system. You won’t feel insecure if fear energy is removed from your system. It is the same with stress, anxiety, depression and just about any other negative emotion.
The link between Emotions and Health
There is a strong emotional component to any illness or ailment. Negative thought and emotions (such as stress, sadness, fears, insecurities, anxieties, phobias, and past traumatic memories) block the free flow of Prana through the energy body (or the aura). When the flow of Prana is blocked, or inhibited, it can ultimately lead to physical illnesses. To maintain overall well-being, these negative emotions must be cleared from your system or be resolved in order to maintain a state of good health and high energy. Ultimately, there is no one who can be truly happy if the body is ill.
Overcoming Addictions
Pranic Psychotherapy has also been very effective in solving problems related to addictions to alcohol and drugs. Ultimately the root of such addictions lie in the fact that people are unhappy. According to a testimonial by Vincent Mills (Senior Addictions Counselor, CASC, EFTADV, New York), with Pranic Healing treatment being used in conjunction to traditional psychotherapy “we can see positive results often very quickly, and patients love the immediate calming yet energizing effects.”
Build a Better Future
You may have come across people who are troubled by crippling emotions. For example, there are people who feel anxious or stressed all the time. Or sometimes there are people who are quickly aggravated or get irritated. Such patterns are likely to be caused by a huge build-up of emotional matter from negative and traumatic life experiences. Such experience continues to get triggered. By getting Pranic Healing on those emotions, the person will be substantially or completely relieved of such long term emotional garbage. They won’t get triggered at the drop of a hat anymore. And this is very significant because most people never even get that relief.
When years of old emotional garbage is cleared away, it is simply far easier to be calm, even when stressful situations arise. It is true that we would still stress and negative emotions when the situations come up; but it becomes much easier for us to let go of negative emotions given that our thoughts and energies are free to flow in a new, positive direction. There is however one exception. That exception is to do with your ability to forgive.
Forgiveness is Therapeutic
It is natural to feel upset and angry when people hurt us. But it is also important to understand that these feelings of anger and resentment are bad for us. We cannot be emotionally healed or experience inner-peace unless we forgive the person who has hurt you. One can keep getting Pranic Healing, but the aura tends to hold on tight (either consciously or subconsciously) to the feelings of anger and hurt. While Pranic Healing can provide relief in part, but the person himself or herself has to let go of the negative feelings of anger toward the other. Even if the healer was able to extract the energies of anger and resentment, the person would re-create them soon enough until they have let the person and situation go. Hence MCKS also stressed on the importance of forgiveness provided methods and tools to help people forgive. You can read more about the importance of forgiveness in the article titled Forgive and Forget: The Importance of Forgiveness in our online magazine.
Spiritual Light to Remove Unhappiness
Is unhappiness only to do with negative emotional energies? Well… there is a little bit more to the same. There is another important link to happiness. That is to do with spirituality. There is a close link between spiritual practice and happiness. Spirituality is closely related to the discovery of greater meaning in our lives. MCKS Pranic Healing provides a bridge to spirituality given that the system eventually leads the seeker to MCKS Arhatic Yoga. Ultimately there is no greater transformation factor in the world than spiritual light.
One of the many tools available in the system to help us develop happiness, inner-peace and tranquility in our life is through the Meditation on Twin Hearts. This is a advanced meditation technique which possibly gets the largest number of glowing testimonials. The meditation is amazing in its simplicity and power. The guided meditation takes around 20 minutes to complete, and just about every practitioner reports a sense of inner-peace and greater happiness following the meditation. One of the reasons for this is the powerful flushing out effect from the meditation which quickly and safely releases stress and other negative emotions. In a sense the meditation contributes to practitioners being able to “find happiness”.
Research studies on meditations have shown a relationship between production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, oxytocin, and dopamine and happiness. Dr. Neus Raines reported use of qualitative EEG study using newer technological methods including the P300 and sLoreta during Meditation on Twin Hearts. All experienced meditators showed increased scores, emerging positive emotions such as happiness and calmness and decrease anxiety after the meditation. The P300 values, which indicate faster reaction times changed significantly post meditation.
There are a large number of people who have benefited from Pranic Healing and the Meditation on the Twin Hearts.
