1. Treatment with prana, or healing by sending prana to diseased parts, thus stimulating the cells and tissues to normal activity, as a result of which the unprofitable substance is expelled from the body and thus normal conditions are restored. This type of treatment is known in the West under the name "Magnetic Healing". Many have been cured in this way, although many healers have not realized the principle behind it, despite the fact that they have acquired serious knowledge of the method of healing they use.

2. Treatment by thought, which refers to the control of the thinking of cells in a direct way or through the subconscious thinking of the patient. Included in this type of healing is what is known in the Western world as "Healing directly or indirectly by thought: Healing by Suggestion." This also includes many religious methods of healing, which are methods of the same healing by thought, hidden under the cover of religious teachings and theories.

3. Spiritual treatment, denoting an exalted way of healing, coming from a healer who has reached an exalted degree of spiritual development and sheds light on the thinking of the patient, showering him with sublime thoughts and raising his own thinking to a higher plane of being. This type of healing is far from being as common as one might conclude from the conversations of healers and their patients. In fact, it is very rare and is available only to healers who have reached a very high spiritual development. Many who imagine that they have it, usually adhere to the simple methods of thought healing, and have not the slightest idea of ​​what true spiritual healing consists in. But there is no harm in this, since they work successfully, and we mention this only so that the reader will get a correct idea of ​​\u200b\u200beverything. Here it should be remembered mainly that in essence all types of mental healing are carried out by Thought. Even treatment with the help of prana is driven by Thought and is the power of thought itself. An illness or ailment is called “physical,” that is, it manifests itself in the cells of the physical body, but on closer examination we will see that in reality it is the malaise of the thought of a certain, sick cell. And, therefore, the only successful way of treatment is to reach the thinking particle of this cell and bring it to a normal state. This can be achieved in various ways, but in the end the ways constitute the Ways of Thought, because it is not the way or the way that produces the cure, but the thought aroused by the way.

To understand anything about healing with prana, we must understand what prana is.

1) Prana is " " - This WATER OF LIFE, green-blue Energy. This "River" (Life Energy) permeates everything living and non-living on the surface of the Earth.

2) - PRANIC Body (LIFE) is the source of life for the Physical Body. The carrier of Prana in man is the Etheric Body - the field of Prana (chi/chi/ki). Prana endows matter with the ability to change. The ethereal sponge absorbs "life" from all the Kingdoms of Nature.

3) PRANA(Phenomena of Nature, vital current) - vital Force, area of ​​influence of Elemental Spirits.

4) According to Daniil Andreev Arugvilta Prana- an impersonal, unconscious subtle substance, poured into our world, overflowing from body to body and providing the possibility of individual organic existences.

5) Yoga philosophers call prana the “active force” or energy that is in the body of every living being. Prana is endowed with the ability to think (Elemental Spirits and elemental consciousness-elementals) and represent the energy of the universal mind of Nature.
Prana manifests itself in the form electrical forces(magnetic perception), vitality, warmth (receiver of emotional waves), light (receiver of "astral light").
Prana is the force that sets the whole body in motion, contributing to all actions to the manifestation of all signs of life. Prana is that vital principle found in air, water, food, etc., the absorption of which serves to work the whole organism.

The principles of pranic healing are based on the fact that prana can be transferred or transmitted from one person to another in various ways.
- The most common and effective way is to pass the movement of the hand over the body of the patient, at the same time directing the current of prana to the sore spot, as a result of which the lazy cell groups again come to life and begin to move. Prana thus transmitted acts on the patient as a tonic, energizing him, which helps to heal the sore spot.
- Prana can be transmitted in the form of exciting thought energy directed by the doctor to the patient.

Healing the sick through the "laying on of hands" known since ancient times. Traces of it can be found from the very beginning of history and it is very likely that this treatment was practiced before, when events were not yet recorded. Nowadays it is widespread everywhere, even among savage tribes. People seem to feel instinctively that they should seek healing in this direction.

Hindus, Egyptians, Jews, Chinese of ancient times knew this method of healing well. Ancient Egyptian stone engravings depict healers holding one hand on the abdomen and the other on the patient's back. Ancient researchers in China report that the same treatment was common there.

IN old testament many examples are given of the same healing, it is said about that in the New Testament. It is reported that St. Patrick, healing the blind in Ireland, laid his hands on their eyes, They say, St. Bernard healed eleven blind and eighteen crippled in one day, and that he healed in Cologne twelve lame, three dumb and ten deaf by the laying on of hands. The history of the ancient church is replete with examples of this kind, and admitting that they are partly embellished to a certain extent, as always happens in such cases, it is nevertheless clear that in this way much success has been achieved in this direction.

There is an indication in history that the king of Zmir, Pyrrhus, had the ability to heal spasm and melancholy by touching the sick and the blind with the laying on of hands. Andrion healed those suffering from dropsy by placing his fingertips on them. King Olaf instantly healed the sick by the laying on of hands. Ancient English and French kings used the Royal Touch to treat goiter and all sorts of other throat ailments. In England, there was an ailment called "royal evil", and it was believed that it could be cured only by a royal touch. It is said that the Habsburg counts had the ability to heal stuttering through a kiss. Pliny said that in ancient times, some people healed snake bites with their touch. Many celebrities from the spiritual environment were treated by the laying on of hands.

In England, Gretrex made a sensation and was persecuted. Thus, various ailments succumbed only to the royal touch, so many decided that he was claiming the royal throne. In the seventeenth century, a certain gardener named Levret successfully healed the sick in the streets of London by stroking them with his hand. In 1817, a Sicilian innkeeper healed 1,000 people by the laying on of hands.

From all this it can be seen that pranic healing has been manifested since ancient times among all peoples, and that those who had sufficient confidence in themselves, in their healing abilities, were considered especially gifted people. But in reality this "gift" is universal, and anyone who has sufficient confidence and seriousness to devote himself to the cause with all his heart can manifest it.

Twenty-five centuries ago, ancient yoga scholars turned this form of healing into a science. And traces of their knowledge penetrated all parts of the world. The ancient Greek physicians treated mainly by the laying on of hands and the "treatment" of the affected parts of the body. Hippocrates wrote: "The soul with closed eyes sees the ailments from which the body suffers." Already in ancient times, wise doctors were aware of how good for the blood is light rubbing of the body with hands and believed that the warmth emanating from the hands has a beneficial and pleasant effect on the patient. This remedy is equally successfully used for both sudden and habitual pains and for all kinds of ailments, it always acts encouragingly and strengthening. When treating my patients in this way, it often seemed to me that from my hands emanated special property(removing, pulling out all the pain and all the dirt from sore spots). Therefore, some scientists know that the sick can be cured by certain movements and touches, just as the infection of certain diseases is transmitted by the touch of one person to another. Vokupanius treated the sick by blowing on the sore spots and stroking them with his hand. The ancient druids also treated, and these techniques were used during religious rites. This is reported of the Druids, and striking proofs of their giftedness are given.

Medieval records are full of similar accounts of miraculous healings achieved by the laying on of hands, and this took place in churches. Van Helmont, who lived in the early seventeenth century, seemed to be familiar with the principles of pranic healing because he writes: “Magnetism is at work everywhere, and there is nothing new in it except the name itself, it seems a paradox only to those who ridicule everything and who attributes everything inexplicable to Satan.
At about the same time, the Scotsman Macavell taught similar methods of healing. He believed in a vital spirit that spread throughout the world, which people could use to heal from ailments. In 1734, Father Hal, a priest, taught about the existence of a "universal fluid" that could be used for healing. He achieved many amazing healings, but was expelled from the church for possessing and misusing diabolical power. Mesmer taught the theory of animal magnetism and healed with its help, applying his hands. After Mesmer, many followers and students remained, many of them achieved greater fame, among them stood out the Marquis Lenzegur. In Germany, the dogmas of Mesmer and his followers enjoyed great success, Bremen was an extensive center of the dogma of "animal magnetism" and from here this teaching spread throughout Germany. The Prussian government showed great interest in this matter and established a hospital for treatment in the "magnetic way". Many continental governments passed strict laws that kept magnetic healing under the control of physicians.

So, new way treatment spread from country to country, often suppressed by government intervention, hampered by medical obstruction, it continues to flourish in various series and theories. During the last ten years it has enjoyed great success in America and England, having spread from various schools of magnetic healing, and from the new thought movement. To explain it, many theories have been developed, ranging from purely material to religious ones. But despite all the theories, the work itself continued with an increase in healings.

Many still believe that the ability to heal is special gift, inherent and bestowed only by some persons, but this is not true, because this gift is inherent in everyone, although some achieve more success than others, depending on the degree of manifestation of their temperament in this work.
Everyone has the opportunity to develop this gift in themselves..

The life force underlies all physical movement in the body. It promotes the circulation of blood, the movement of cells, in general, all the actions on which the life of the physical body depends. Without this vital force there could be no life, no movement, no action. Some call it the Nerve Force - but it's still the same force, no matter how you call it. This is the force sent by the voltage, if from nervous system when we want to set some muscle in motion. And it is this force that makes the muscle move.

Man is supplied with a supply of vital force through cosmic prana, the Life Force, and especially from the air. Through the power of thought, a person can also draw energy from the great repositories to himself. This vital energy is located in the brain and in various nerve centers of the body and is taken from there to supply the weak parts of the body that need it. With the help of the nervous system, it spreads to all parts of the body. Indeed, every nerve is stored life force and serves as a wire that transmits the life force further. Even more, every cell in the body, no matter where it is, and no matter what work it does, always contains a certain share of vital energy.

A healthy person is one who has a significant supply of vitality, penetrating into all parts of the body, refreshing, exciting and invigorating him in daily activities. A person with a weakened vitality feels bad, feels a lack of it, and achieves a normal state only when the vitality is replenished.

All people, to a greater or lesser extent, have vitality, everyone has the opportunity to increase its reserves and transfer it to others, healing them from ailments. In other words, healing is inherent in all people. Everyone has this gift and can develop it with certain exercises.
The basic rule of pranic healing is to fill diseased cells with a fresh supply of vitality or prana, leading the cells to normal activity and work. With the correct activity of the cells, the organ acquires its former energy, and the whole organism is again healed, and health is just its normal activity.

PRANA HEALING IN PRACTICAL APPLICATION

Way healing through the laying on of hands applied by people somehow instinctively. The mother instinctively puts her hand on the head of the child who has come running to her with a complaint that he has fallen and hurt himself, the touch of the mother immediately soothes his pain. How often one has to see and hear that mothers calm their children in this way. Or, if we ourselves hurt ourselves, we also instinctively put our hand on the sore spot. And this gives a certain relief.

It is customary to treat a headache by applying the hand, and with this the nurse calms the patient. These simple instinctive movements form the basis of the application of practical healing. The course of treatment is so simple that it needs little instruction, although we are going to turn our attention to the main methods used by those who have achieved outstanding results with this method of healing. The main methods of transferring the life force or prana in healing are as follows:
1. Staring or transmitting through the eyes.
2. Passes or passing with hands.
3. Breathing or transmission by breath.

All three methods work properly and can be used together. In view of the fact that the transmission of the vital force is primarily mental, and the eye serves as a channel for the transmission of thought force, it follows that the eye can be successfully used for the transmission of vital force in healing. When using the method of laying a hand on a sore spot, healers will notice an enhanced effect of the treatment if, at the same time, they gaze intently at the part of the body being healed and at the same time focus their thoughts and their will so that this force passes over the sore spot and the diseased cells can restore their normal activity. .

Many successfully use breathing in healing. At the same time, for the most part, they blow directly on the sore spot, on which warm breath produces a striking revitalizing effect. But sometimes they blow on a piece of flannel, then applying it to a sore spot. Flannel traps heat.
But the main transfers of vital force in such healing are passes and manipulative techniques. We will first discuss passes, and then we will look at manipulative techniques.

Hand position in healing can be described as follows:
bend your arms and fingers so that the latter do not touch each other. If the patient is seated, then raise your arms above his head and then slowly and gradually lower them in front of him, ending with quick movements a little above the knees. Having finished the movements, wave your fingers to the side, as if shaking off water from them and then, closing your fingers and placing your palms on the sides of the patient, stroke him from the bottom up. When your fingers go above your head, lower them again in front of him, spreading your fingers. By mentally imagining that you are bathing it with a stream of life force emanating from your fingertips, you will soon acquire the power of movement, moreover, each healer uses his own favorite movements, resorting to them instinctively.
The movement of the hands downwards has a calming effect on the patient, and the movement upwards, in front of the face, excites him to wakefulness and activity.
Exist different types passes, or hand movements, and we will discuss them now. But let us advise readers to familiarize themselves with these various species, so as not to be embarrassed if, for example, the patient wishes to suddenly be reassured. Having become accustomed to the movements, we gain confidence, which is difficult for us to achieve otherwise: then the healer also works calmly and can concentrate all his attention on healing.

1. Longitudinal passes- movements of the arms along the body in the direction from top to bottom. They are made on a sore spot, wherever it is: on the head of the chest, arm, etc. They are always made downwards, and not upwards. you have to imagine that you are pouring out a stream of power from your fingertips. Your fingers should be unclenched and your hands should be held palm down. Movements downwards are made with unclenched fingers, and upwards on the sides of the patient, with clenched fingers, and the palms should be turned towards the patient.
The distance is not determined, it is prescribed instinctively by anyone who will quickly point you to the correct distance, and in some cases it will be much less than in others. If you yourself feel that the distance is “just right”, then you will be satisfied and know that you have reached the distance at which you can achieve the greatest success.
In general, it can be said that a slow movement, at a distance of 3-4 inches from the body, gives a feeling of peace and relief. A more accelerated movement, at a distance of one foot, produces a more revitalizing effect, causing activity and energy in the parts of the body. An even more exciting effect is achieved by even faster and stronger movements at a distance of two feet from the body. These passes contribute to the revitalization of blood circulation and raising the activity of the organs.

2. Cross passes- movements made across the sore spot. In this case, you should turn your palms sideways or outward. This requires a special turn of the brush, but it is easy to get used to it. With your hands in the correct position, stretch them sideways in front of the body or in front of it, but on the reverse movement, turn the palms inward so that they are opposite each other, and not turned one from the other. These movements are very helpful in treating patients suffering from congestion blood. Sometimes it is very useful to apply this method of healing before the treatment with a longitudinal movement.

3. In some cases, it is highly recommended to use the so-called. " palm". The palm of the hand is then brought up to the sore spot at a distance of about six inches, or even a little nearer, and is not withdrawn for several minutes. This is usually done with just one hand. This is an exciting and strengthening effect.

4. In the same genus, the so-called. " Finger Submission", consisting in bringing the fingers of the right hand open to the sore spot at a distance of 6 inches, and holding them so for several minutes, so that the vital force can pass from the tips of the fingers to the diseased part of the body. In some cases, this method is the most successful.

5. A variety of substitution of fingers is " Rotational substitution”, in which it is necessary to hold the hands, as above, for 1-2 minutes, and then begin the rotational movement of the hand at a distance of 6 inches, and hold them like that for several minutes from left to right in the same direction in a clockwise direction. Acts exciting.

6. Another variety is known as " drilling”, while the hands make a drilling motion, as if they want to drill holes in the body of the patient (at a 6-inch distance). This method strongly arouses the activity of the lazy part and causes a feeling of warmth in the part of the body being healed. It should be noted that with these types of substitution, unequal force is applied. The most moderate action is “substituting the palm of your hand”. Then follows the substitution of the fingers, which is already much stronger. Then rotational substitution, which manifests a higher level of energy. The most powerful action is drilling.

7. In some cases, it is possible to achieve a successful result by the laying on of hands, and lay the palm of the hand for several minutes directly on the sore spot. Then, taking your hands away, you need to quickly rub them against each other and put them back in that place. By repeating this several times, you will notice a clear improvement. This method is usually used for headaches and can be used for any ailment. With neuralgia, etc. diseases, this method greatly relieves suffering.

8. " Stroking It helps well with tension and balances the circulation when a tendency to improper circulation is noticed. It is soothing and we recommend using it at the end of the treatment.
When stroking, lightly touch the patient's body or sore spots with your fingertips. One should always rub from top to bottom or to the outer places, and not from the bottom up or inward, and always in the same direction, not back and forth. Touching should be very light, not with the whole hand, but only with the fingertips. The words "lightness, tenderness, airiness" best define the accuracy of movements. With exercise, you can soon comprehend the correctness of these movements.
If you want to stroke the whole body of the patient, then it is better to divide this method of healing into two parts, namely:
1) From head to waist;
2) From the waist to the legs.
When stroking the whole body, attention should be paid to the chest and stomach in order to revitalize these organs and equalize their magnetism.

9. It should be remembered that the old tried and tested method of rubbing is only another way of transferring the vital force or prana. This method has been known since ancient times, has always been used by all peoples. The clergy in Egypt have always used it to treat chronic diseases. Hippocrates greatly appreciated rubbing and, apparently, used them very often. He wrote the following: “The doctor must know a lot, he is obliged to study the beneficial effects of rubbing. By rubbing, the opposite results can be achieved: it loosens stiff joints and strengthens weakened ones. Almost 2000 years ago, Celsus vigorously defended this method of treatment, he paid a lot of attention to way of life healing in his books and, by the way, proved that this method was known and used for many years before him.
IN ancient rome rubbing was a favorite form of treatment, and the wealthy used it regularly to maintain their health.
And now many people use it under the name "massage". The Greek physician of the 6th century, Alexander Trakhles, was an adherent of the "Mystical Rubbings" and used them in the treatment. He assured that rubbing contributed to the throwing away of everything harmful, calmed the nerves and facilitated the release of sweat. In addition, he believed that it relieved convulsions and, in general, helped with various ailments. He wrote a lot on this topic and agreed with Hippocrates that only clerics should have been initiated into these secret rubbings, and not communicated to the profane. The physician of Louis XVII, Peter Boral, writes that a certain Degust - the court secretary - healed many people by rubbing their hands and feet. And now, in our time, massage is very much appreciated, and the new school of “Osteopathy” is used everywhere, and is a success.
When rubbing to revitalize the body through the vital force, one should act gently, since the manifestation of force is not required and undesirable here: the result is achieved only by transferring vitality to the sore spot. With this method of treatment, it is necessary to use the palm and lower part of the fingers. Fingertips and thumb should be bent, in which the lower part of the thumb is fleshy, you can use it with your palm. Movements must be made from top to bottom. Some use a different method of rubbing: after the pressure of the palm, they press in a special way with the flat fingertips.
You can choose any of these methods at your own discretion. With each method, it was noted that the doctor must feel that in this way he can best transfer the vital force to the patient. This gave the healer "feelings" and should be adhered to as it quickly begins to show up in the healer.

10. Many healers believe " rotary motion» a very successful way of treatment. It consists in a circular rubbing motion (as described below) of the hands and fingers over the sore spots. You should always follow the direction of the clock hand, and not chaotic movements back and forth. Such healing stimulates the action of the cells and is useful in their weakening.

11. Another method of treatment, which is called " application". It helps with stiff muscles, rheumatism and other local rather than organic ailments. Pressing is done by grasping muscles or tissues and "processing" them along the surface adjacent to them. There are three different types:
1. Surface pressing.
2. Pressing with the palm of your hand.
3. Pressing with fingers.
One of the practical methods of external pressing is "pinching", and it consists of grasping the skin of the patient with the thumb and forefinger, while the skin rises slightly, then lowers and lies down as before. Both hands are used alternately: one grabs the skin when the other lowers it, and so on over the entire surface.
This method is very revitalizing for the patient, and is successfully used in poor circulation and in other similar cases.
Pressing with the palm is done with the whole hand. It is necessary to grab the sore spot with the palm of the hand and clenched fingers, without using the thumb, with the exception of its fleshy part, which helps in the movement of the lower part of the palm, called the heel of the hand, one should firmly hold the captured body, preventing it from slipping away, it is necessary to pinch deeply in order to grab it well muscles. Do not use too much force, act carefully, but still vigorously. Use both hands alternately. There are various ways of applying this movement, which the healer himself comprehends after some practice. He will eventually feel life in his hands, instinctively understand how best to transfer this life to the patient.
Pressing with fingers consists in covering the sore spot between the fingers while lightly rubbing it over another, adjacent part of the body or bone.

12. If the patient needs an excited activity of the body, you can apply different kinds percussion healing, of which we will name a few here. At the same time, the hand must remain flexible and free; a non-bending hand is not applicable in such cases. The percussion should be elastic and rough movements and bruises should be avoided.
a) The fallback method of tapping can be called a "thumping motion" consisting of a chopping motion of the hand, which should be open, with the fingers clenched. The blows are applied with the side of the hand "at the little finger", the hand acts like a meat cutter. Keep your fingers loose, they are compressed when striking.
b) A crushing movement, consisting in striking the inner flat surface of a semi-clenched fist, with the "heel of the hand" and the clenched fingertips in contact with the patient's body.
c) The third method can be called the "impact method", with the hand hitting or spanking, while the fingers remain motionless.
d) The fourth method can be called the method of clapping, in which one should keep the arm slightly bent so that a dull sound is obtained. The position of the hand should be similar to the hand movement used by some people in the theater when they want to make a strong sound with their hand during applause. After some practice, this movement will quickly become familiar.
e) The fifth method can be called the "tapping" method, it consists in bringing the fingertips to each other of both hands and striking them on the body alternately.

13. Any method of treatment through the transfer of prana is "Vibrational Healing", which consists of a whole series of vibrational movements produced by the doctor's hand. In this case, fingers are usually used. They are firmly applied to the sore spot, then a slight trembling or vibrational movement is made. The latter is considered difficult at first, but is achieved with due skill. This is a powerful way of treatment and the patient gets a feeling of electric current, You should not press the body with the hands, the patient should only feel the heaviness of the hand itself. With proper vibrational healing, the vibration should pass through the sore spot, when the other hand is placed under the body, the vibration should be felt by it.
During the training of students in this method of healing, they put a glass of water on the table and showed them these vibrational movements on the table. When the right movement is achieved, the water trembles only in the middle, and does not overflow from side to side. We advise readers to take up vibrational healing very seriously, if you study it, you can achieve amazing success.

14. Healing through breathing also brings amazing results. This method has been known since prehistoric times, Arnob reports that the Egyptians were very successful in treating this method, and that some preferred it to stroking or laying on hands. Merklin in his work tells about the case when one old woman revived and healed a child who seemed almost hopeless.
Borel speaks of a sect living in India that heals the sick through breathing. In India, there are even now some clergymen who, breathing on the sick, as if transmit to them living life and fresh strength. Borel (who lived about 1650) before the birth of Christ reports a case when a servant revived the seemingly dead body of his master with his breath and adds: “Is it amazing that the breath of a person produces such an effect. Since we believe that God breathed life into the body of Adam, this is a particle of that divine breath, which even today can restore health to the sick.” In Spain there are people called insalvadores who heal with saliva and breath.
Breath healers use two commonly recognized methods of treatment. The first is known under the name "Hot breath of air". At the same time, a clean towel or napkin is applied to the sore spot, and then the half-open mouth is pressed close to the body so that the breath cannot escape. Then you need to slowly breathe strongly, as if forcing the breath to penetrate the body. The towel will become very hot, and the patient will clearly feel the warmth. Another method is to bring the lips closer to the body at a distance of one inch: while blowing on the sore spot, as you blow on frozen hands in winter, to warm them.
Another way is to purse your lips and blow at a distance of one foot or more, as if you were about to extinguish a candle. It has a calming effect and even induces sleep, it helps a lot with overworking the brain and other similar cases.

15. Some healers are willing to use eye healing. It consists in the following: the doctor “runs” the patient or the sore spot with his eyes and literally bathes the patient in the rays of his gaze.

16. Life force is often transmitted through objects, such as new scarves and other objects, previously treated in the same way as if they were treating people themselves. To heal or magnetize an object such as a handkerchief, the healer must pass over it until he feels that the object is sufficiently supplied with his power, at which point he may stop the treatment. This object, when used by the sick, emits at the last rays of magnetism, gradually decreasing to complete exhaustion. Some people magnetize an object by holding it in their hands for a while.

With all methods of treatment, it is recommended to end the session with stroking, which we have already talked about. This relieves and calms the patient. Never forget this. All this will appear to the novice healer gradually, by intuition, and in the end there is something that can only be learned from personal experience. And no two persons heal in exactly the same way. Don't be afraid to follow your own intuition in this regard.
