[1]The patients sit in long rows, eyes closed, hands limp. Pranic healers hover around them, making elaborate motions with their arms and muttering under their breath, invoking the life force, or ‘prana’ to swoop in and rid the patients of their aches and pains.
This is a common scene at the annual ‘Energy Thiruvizhas’ conducted in the city by the Pranic Healing Trust Tamil Nadu, an organisation that adds hundreds of new healer members from across the state every year.
It may sound like fiction to the skeptics, but some of the city’s celebrated allopathic doctors are also hooked on to energy medicine and use pranic healing as complementary therapy with routine surgeries and drug treatment, to help speed up the body’s healing process.
Energy medicine is backed by scientific research published in peer-reviewed journals, and healers are increasingly using modern equipment such as GDC electromagnetic cameras to scan the energy fields around a person.
“While pranic healing is not a cure on its own, it helps by strengthening the body’s natural healing mechanism, thus speeding up recovery. By manipulating the energy field of the patient, pranic healers can also relieve pain and combat the side effects of allopathic drugs,” explains Dr Senthil Nathan, senior consultant neurosurgeon at Apollo Hospital, who has been practicing energy medicine for nearly 10 years now.
Irrespective of your ailment and your stack of X rays and scan reports, a pranic healer uses his skill to scan your ‘aura’, and detects the areas that need to be cleansed of diseased energy.
Using prescribed movements of the hands, the healer then removes the negative energy, and infuses a pure, clean energy into the person.
Advanced pranic healers also employ tools such as quartz and other crystals in the healing process.
