First, a little about Pranic healing. I know some of you reading this know all about energy healing but for those who dont here is some basic info. In different traditions people speak of humans as a union of physical and spiritual realities: mind, body, and soul, and that there is much more to our "self" than we can generally perceive. We are not simply our physical bodies, rather it is believed that we in fact have many "bodies" from gross to subtle these are the physical body, the emotional body, the mental body, the astral body, and the etheric body. In pranic healing we work the more subtle realities of the self and universe. The artist Alex Grey has some amazing paintings which beautifully illustrate such realities which are visible to the clairvoyant eye.
When our spiritual bodies are clogged by negative energy and karma, ailments or disease manifest in the physical body. Thus by treating the spiritual body the root of the cause is healed. In pranic healing, as well as other energy healing techniques (such as acupuncture, acupressure, reiki, crystal healing, etc), the chakras (energy centers) and aura are cleansed of negative energy and energized with cosmic divine energy, helping us to heal ourselves and evolve into fully realized beings. This cosmic energy we use to heal is in abundance all around us. "Prana" is just one name for it, other names include chi, life force, spirit, etc.
The class itself was beautiful. It was just me, Waldemar, and Guruji (the teacher). Guruji told us many stories from Indian scriptures as well as miraculous experiences he's had as a healer for 20 years. The whole technique is as ancient as the scriptures, but much of the esoteric information that is now being revealed has been guarded and kept secret for ages. In any case, I finished the basic and advanced course, as well as Pranic psychotherapy. I am eager to get more experience healing so if you want to be healed just let me know!
There is so much more i want to write but its really late and tomorrow morning im leaving for a remote village up in the mountains around 100km away for a 10 day fast in the forest. I dont know i will have internet access. So, i will recap some of my experiences and things ive learned:
-i dont want to preach but vegetarianism is the way to go. ive been learing a lot about health and food, and although in the future i would like to present detailed information, here are just a few things to consider: when an animal is in the slaughterhouse and about to be killed they experience fear which produces certain hormones which you then eat. your body will respond to such hormones in a negative way; why do you think people who eat a lot of meat are aggressive? also eating meat is not sustainable (at least how it is practiced and produced in our world today). it takes huge amounts of water and land to raise animals, these precious resources could be put to better use. also, meat is very hard for our bodies to digest. finally, more than enough protein is found in plant matter, which brings me to my second topic:
-Spirulina! A blue green algee which is extremely nutrient rich. it contians more protein than meat, more iron than even beef liver, vitamin b-12 (which is sometimes hard to get as a vegetarian), is easily digestable, contians no fat/cholesterol. look it up online, you will be pleasantly surprised by the information.
-Pyramid Power! pyramids have been on my mind in in my life. waldemar and i fixed up a little cottage in the yard of vipassana house which has a pyramid roof, and was built intentionally as an energetic structure, with the faces of the pyramid facing the cardinal points. i slept in there a few nights and had really strange intense dreams. and in rishikesh we went to the Pyramid Cafe and chilled in the pyramid there for a long time reading, eating and meditating. The energy there was amazing. I also heard a funny story about pyramids: the dog at vipassana house used to be a real dumb brute. he would bite any newcommers without even checking them out . then he was built a pyramid shaped dog house and the dog stayed in there for 4 days straight without eating or drinking, refusing to come out until the owner pulled him out. after his time in the pyramid he was transformed. he never again bit a stranger, and become serene and meditative. when i come home im going to build a pyramid for sure.
-food also contains prana. waldemar and i did some experiemtns and found this to be true, and certian practices increase the prana of your food, while others decrease the prana. MICROWAVING YOUR FOOD DESTOYS THE PRANA and decreases nutritional value, and most likely leaks microwaves into your environment. waldemar told me about an experiment he read about in a German book called Water & Salt where cats were fed only microwaved food and water and within i think 6 weeks they all died.
on the other hand you can increase the energy of your food by sending it positive energy. here is a recipe for Love & Health porridge. when we served it to a gorup of people (without telling them we had energized the food) they all responded enthusiastically saying it was the best porridge they had ever had:
in a pot boil:
ground nuts of all kinds
dried fruit of all kinds (we used figs, dates and raisins)
mushed or sliced banana
and oatmeal or other porridge susitutes like buckwheat porridge or cream of wheat.
while you are making it, smile at the porridge. project thoughts of love and harmony and imagine yourslef in perfect health eating the delicious porridge. use your imagination to project good vibrations of love and health to it, or anything you make, and you will feel the difference.
that is all for now. love peace and joy to all! no fear, no worries, be happy!
HARI OMMM
