Similarities & Differences: PRANIC HEALING & REIKI

By Master Stephen Co

REIKI is a very good healing modality that has helped many people, primarily through teaching those with little or no healing experience to access healing energies to help themselves and their loved ones. According to the REIKI Masters who have attended PRANIC HEALING classes (over 500 REIKI Masters have attended PRANIC HEALING classes since 1990 in the United States alone) as well as my own observations as a teacher and healer, here are some of the major differences between PRANIC HEAILNG and REIKI:

1. PRANIC HEAILNG is a complete no-touch system of healing. REIKI practitioners touch the body most of the lime, but they also employ some non-touch techniques.

2. PRANIC HEALING teaches its students to "scan,’ or actually feel the aura to assess energetic depletion and congestion, or stagnation, which helps identify problem areas that need healing. REIKI doesn’t use any energy assessment technique but relics on the intuition of the practitioner.

3. PRANIC HEALING employs a manual cleansing technique called sweeping to remove blockages and stagnant energies before giving fresh energy to the patient: REIKI has no comparable technique. PRANIC HEALING believes cleansing is critical to the healing process because diseased energies and negative emotions have to he first removed before energizing the body to or they may manifest physically - and sometimes dramatically - through vomiting, loose bowel movement, a rash, a flu or other symptoms. Such expelling is often labeled as a "detoxification". However, it is quite comfortable and can be prevented with proper cleansing. In fact, cleansing alone often allows the body to quickly heal itself by permitting fresh energy to penetrate deeper into the body to be utilized as healing fuel.

4. PRANIC HEALING employs a "cookbook" approach to healing. According to thousands of case reports gathered by the founder of PRANIC HEALING Grandmaster Choa Kok SUI , every ailment produces a unique set of energy patterns that can be identified in the energy body's 11 Major Chakras and numerous meridians . REIKI has essentially, one energy technique - facilitating the flow of REIKI energy into whatever area needs healing - to address all health problems PRANIC HEALING, by contrast, uses specific energetic routines of cleansing and energizing that are matched to the specific patterns of energetic deficiencies by a particular illness. PRANIC HEALING thus offers a quicker, more targeted and more effective system of healing

5. PRANIC HEALING teaches its practitioners to draw energy directly from the sun, air, ground and other spiritual sources and then project this Prana into their subjects’ auras. REIKI practitioners have to be "initiated’ by a REIKI Master and given "symbols" to access the healing energies. It’s similar to having to obtain a password." PRANIC HEALING employs simple breathing and visualization exercises that allows anyone to heal immediately with minimal instruction

6. PRANIC HEALING includes a practice called energetic "hygiene" that is is rarely found in healing modality, including REIK. Energetic hygiene is a set of practices - breathing, dietary recommendation and other cleansing routines that are designed to keep your personal energy tank clean and full. REIKI masters attending Pranic healing classes agree that energetic hygiene is one of the greatest benefits of the class, particularly the technique that enable them to cleanse themselves of contaminating energy they pickup from the patients/subjects and how to prevent subjects or negative people from draining their life force. This is particularly important for not only REIKI practitioners but also other healthcare providers because these people frequently experience the pain or the ailment of the subjects become drained and tired after healing someone.

7. PRANIC HEALING employs the use of color energies that dramatically accelerate the body's innate healing abilities. In fact many REIKI MASTERS often say that if they have a subject (who wants immediate relief or rapid healing they use pranic healing- particularly the colored Prana techniques. But, if they have a subject who simply wants a relaxing and soothing session, they use REIKI. In summary, both PRANIC HEALING and REIKI are excellent healing modalities and help alleviate pain and suffering. However PRANIC HEALING gives you the tools to produce faster and more immediate results while immunizing you against contamination from the people you are healing. PRANIC HEALING complements any and all healing modalities. We always tell everyone, whatever you healing technique - shamanism, Native American techniques, Chinese Chi Kung, REIKI, massage therapy, chiropractic, Christian Laying on hands and even orthodox medicine - PRANIC HEALING will complement and enhance it. We are here together to help health and happiness for all

Master Choa Kok Sui's Conversation with a Disciple

When I Leave Do I Leave?
It was a time, when my Spiritual Teacher, Master Choa Kok Sui, the one I have loved most and followed in this lifetime, took in some of the negative karma of his disciples unto his body. I saw him then as a man whose weight of the world was heavy on his shoulder.I was afraid for him and my heart was listless.As usual, that afternoon, he walked and as usual I followed one step behind him."What is bothering you?" he asked me.I dare not ask the question, but he prodded me. I then asked "When you leave Master, what will become of me?"He took a deep pause, and rephrased my question."When I leave, do I leave?"He noticed tears are about to swell in my eyes."Take heart. Pull back your tears," he reproached me gently."Look at me."
You cry and your heart is heavy for you think I will leave you?I will never leave you. We have a covenant to serve together. Do you remember?"He waved his hand and commanded."Still your mind. And let there be peace in your heart.""Look in front of your life. My essence is in the many books I have made you read, study and learn. My thoughts are there. They are not ordinary thoughts but ideas of great power for my true essences are there. These ideas will outlive many. And those who have studied my ever-living principles will remember them again when they come in the futurity of time. Know that I have left myself in the teachings I have shared with you.My life is in the books you cradle. My love and friendship is in the happy memories we shared. My heart is there - in the many moments we laughed and served. Forget this not.Now, let me ask you a question.You have walked with me but have you really known me?How have you known me in your life?Yes, as a Spiritual Teacher and Master Healer? An Arhatic Yogi? A Visionary? A Wish Fulfiller? Or a Friend? "Let me tell you something," and he touched my back heart like a gentle pause. My heart swooned with sweet bliss."I am more than you can imagine, for like all spiritual teachers, I am a bearer of many great spiritual secrets."Today, that your heart will be lighter, let me share with you a secret that you may no longer be lonely.This secret I have revealed to some of my disciples. And to those who have ears: let their hearts discern the truth.The Master Choa Kok Sui that you know of is an initiate of High Order. I came to raise myself up a degree higher and years back, I was able to do so.The secret lies in the higher levels of Arhatic Yoga of which I practice. This is one reason why my Great Teacher Lord Boddhisatva Mei Ling is an immortal.Listen and listen carefully and remember my words for they are true.The Physical Spiritual Teacher or Sat Guru does not leave. He is always there.His embodiment is a choice. My embodiment is a personal choice. It is a shell that the Spiritual Teacher and Sat Guru willingly leaves when he meditates. I leave my body when I come unto my Silence and go where you cannot come. With closed or opened eyes, I can leave my body at will. It is a choice for me to leave and come.The physical body is a vehicle of service. It is just one of the bodies I use to serve. But I AM not the body. Have I not taught you this? You are not your body. You are a Soul and Spirit.Remember?Like all Physical Spiritual Teachers and Sat Gurus, when they drop their body of illusion, their Presence becomes more powerful than ever.It is because the physical body is a limitation though it is a vehicle taken so that men will understand.The life of the Physical Spiritual Teacher and Sat Guru is ever continuous, with or without form.My powers are great though embodied in form yet they are greater when this Soul is not in physical embodiment.
I can be anywhere with the speed of thought.My influences are far reaching, deeper and more penetrating more than before.My Spiritual Essence is freer to do its purpose.And remember this too, and remember this well:"Like in the physical form, I overshadow many disciples and students at the same time. Yet I can overshadow many of my incarnated and non-incarnated disciples and workers more, when the embodiment is not there, for the physical veil is gone."I give Higher Teachings to many in and out of the body. My Love is encompassing. It is inclusive and not exclusive to just one.Remember this: the Soul of the Physical Spiritual Teacher and Sat Guru leaves the body at will even when in physical incarnation. He comes back to it because it is his choice.
Have I not been with you in your many nightly sojourns? Have I not appeared to many in my body form? Have I not answered others in their pleadings for help though I am not there in body? How many have seen me in their meditations? Did not blessings come when one sincerely ask for it? How many have received healings with a whisper of the Name. It comes to one and it comesto many.You must believe.
I will always be there for you. I will always be there for those who sincerelyask for my help and for my Teachings.
A Physical Spiritual Teacher or Sat Guru teaches for it is one of His Service. He heals because of His love. He brings Light because he wants men to come into the Greater Love.I have overshadowed many and it will continue to be so. Embodied or not. My Presence will always be there. If you love learning, knowledge will always be there for you.I know you love learning. Then it will come to you and for many others as well. It is not only for one person.And listen to this too: I have many others disciples you have not met. My Shakti is not diminished when shared by many and is not lessened by Time.Thus remember and do these: Persevere to keep my Teachings in your Heart. Share it with purity and show it with your life. Continue my work. This is my Decree to you.Transform yourself into a better human being.Be honorable. And forget not the virtues. You must practice and persevere."And he made me promise that afternoon: that I will keep to his Teachings and persevere.And walk His Path a bit longer.

The way he did…..
