In today’s hyperconnected world, mental exhaustion, emotional instability, and chronic stress have become common aspects of daily life. However, ancient wisdom may hold the key to restoring not only mental balance but also emotional resilience. Central to this wisdom is the concept of chakras, the body’s energy centers, and the practice of Pranic Healing. This non-touch energy healing modality harnesses the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
Sriram Rajagopal, Director of World Pranic Healing (India), shares a simple guide to pranic healing, highlighting the role of chakras in emotional self-care and mental balance.
Grand Master Choa Kok Sui (GMCKS) emphasized that many chronic illnesses have a strong emotional and energetic component. For example, a person might be diagnosed with liver cirrhosis without any history of alcohol consumption. It is often observed that such patients carry significant long-term emotional trauma, frequently manifesting as anger, irritability, or suppressed resentment. These emotions impact the solar plexus chakra, influencing both emotional responses and the health of the liver and digestive system. When this chakra becomes overwhelmed by stress, it can obstruct energy flow to the organs, potentially causing physiological damage.
Emotional energy is a tangible force whose impact accumulates within the body’s energy field when ignored, suppressed, or unprocessed. This accumulation creates energetic residue or blockages that hinder the body’s healing capacity. Pranic Healing offers tools and techniques to balance these energies, among which the Meditation on Twin Hearts is considered highly effective. This guided meditation helps clear accumulated emotional burdens, calms the nervous system, and opens the heart and crown chakras—chakras associated with compassion, peace, and inner clarity. When practiced regularly, Meditation on Twin Hearts can shift a person’s emotional baseline, promoting resilience and fostering a calmer, more centered state.
Another widely used yet lesser-known self-healing practice is the salt water bath. Salt naturally cleanses energy, with the unique ability to dissolve negative or diseased energy from the aura. A warm saltwater bath can relieve energetic congestion, making it beneficial for individuals dealing with chronic illness or heavy emotional loads by opening energetic channels. Additionally, gently rubbing fine salt over the body after a warm bath and rinsing it off after a minute or two can impart a lighter energetic sensation and greater physical ease. Despite its simplicity, this technique significantly enhances energetic hygiene and overall healing.
Pranic breathing exercises, coupled with exposure to natural energy sources such as sunlight and healthy trees, also play an important role in revitalizing the energy body. Deep breathing beneath a large, healthy tree allows the body to absorb fresh prana (life energy) and release used energy. Regular immersion in natural environments helps rebalance the body’s energy, fostering calmness. A key element of emotional self-care within Pranic Healing is the management of mental focus. It is often observed that focusing on pain or illness impedes healing, whereas gently directing attention toward peace, vitality, or wholeness accelerates recovery. Since the mind, emotions, and energy body are interconnected, changes in one area influence the others.
The encouraging aspect is that through conscious awareness and consistent practice, individuals can cleanse, heal, and transform these energetic imprints. From an energy perspective, emotional self-care is not a luxury but an essential practice.
By consciously caring for the energy body through meditation, salt baths, mindful breathing, and emotional awareness, individuals give themselves the gift of true balance. This care facilitates self-healing and supports a return to a state of inner alignment and peace, where the body, mind, and energy are harmoniously balanced—representing the truest form of self-care.
