Master Choa Kok Sui and the Birth of Modern Pranic Healing

Born on August 15, 1952 in Cebu , Philippines and raised in a multi-faith environment, Master Choa Kok Sui found himself inclined to paranormal and spiritual matters from the tender age of 12. As a teenager, he spent a year doing inner purification, laying the foundation for his ventures into the spiritual path. He also lived a simple life, akin to that of a yogi, refusing the comforts that he could otherwise have easily afforded.

As a young man, Master Choa Kok Sui studied a wide range of healing arts (notably at a time when they were not yet validated as sciences), achieving a kind of encyclopedic level of knowledge on the subject matter. He studied under spiritual guides, who themselves were spiritually advanced and extraordinarily powerful healers, and whose guidance were inevitably crucial to the development of Modern Pranic Healing.

(As he treaded further on his spiritual path) In his spiritual journey , Master Choa Kok Sui made close associations with yogis, healers, clairvoyants, practitioners of Chinese chi kung (the art of generating internal power), and persons who were in telepathic contact with their spiritual gurus. He studied yoga, psychic phenomenon, mysticism, Chinese chi kung, Rosicrucian Teachings of the Ancient Mystical Order of Rosae Crucis (AMORC), Theosophy, Astara lessons, Arcane School teachings, and other esoteric sciences.

Throughout 1983 to 1987, Master Choa Kok Sui worked on the completion of what was his Spiritual Thesis: he labored over the monumental tasks of synthesizing, experimenting, validating, conceptualizing, formulating, systematizing and developing the bulk of what would become Modern Pranic Healing and Arhatic Yoga .

Modern Pranic Healing as a science was finally born in late 1987, with the publication of Master Choa Kok Sui’s book, The Ancient Science and Art of Pranic Healing (later changed to the title (including ) Miracles Through Pranic Healing), which has since been translated into more than 30 languages and distributed in over 40 countries, veritably serving as an introduction for thousands to the science and art of Modern Pranic Healing.

Master Choa Kok Sui later founded the Institute for Inner Studies and the World Pranic Healing Foundation, Inc., and went on to author 20 more books on Pranic Healing and spirituality , before his passing in March 19, 2007.

In its existing form, Pranic Healing has been painstakingly, systematically, scientifically developed, revealed and taught globally by Master Choa Kok Sui.

Similar modalities are called medical qigong or ki healing, psychic healing, vitalic healing, reiki, therapeutic touch, laying of the hand, magnetic healing, faith healing, and charismatic healing.

Prana or ki is the life energy which keeps the body alive and healthy. 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 presents symptoms of illness. In Pranic Healing, physical ailments are treated through the subtle energy of the patient using prana thereby assisting and accelerating in several degrees, the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

With patience and persistence, Pranic Healing is easy to learn. As simplified by Master Choa Kok Sui, it is a transferable technology. Its principles and techniques can be learned in a few sessions. Students can reach a certain degree of skill or proficiency given enough practice and time. There are several levels of Pranic Healing. Each of the levels is formally taught in internationally standardized modules, in about 18 hours per level. Proficiency is gained through constant practice and study.

The first level deals with the principles and basic techniques, enabling the student to heal simple physical ailments.

The second level , Advanced Pranic Healing, makes use of advanced techniques and colors, thereby shortening the healing time. Students are familiarized and taught treatments for more severe chronic ailments.

The third level, Pranic Psychotherapy, delves into the treatment of psychological aspect of diseases and their causes using even more potent energy techniques.

The fourth level is Pranic Crystal Healing. It is the technology of crystals for treatment of severe and chronic ailments.

There are higher levels but they were taught to more senior students for application in their mission to assist in the spread the teachings.

Each of the first four levels are taught accompanied by books, written by Master Choa Kok Sui as veritable “cookbooks” in the treatment of disease. These courses and books are available in Pranic Healing Centres  in 73 countries. The first book, Miracles Through Pranic Healing has been translated into 34 languages to date. The second book, Advanced Pranic Healing into 17 languages.

Pranic Healing is not intended to replace orthodox western medicine, but rather to complement it. Countless people and their families have been treated and are enjoying a better quality of life through Pranic Healing.

The Institute for Inner Studies, Inc., the World Pranic Healing Foundation and all the national and local Pranic Healing Centres and Pranic Healing Foundations are committed to the task of continuing Master Choa Kok Sui’s noble work: to alleviate human suffering.
