On World Mental Health Day, I revisit the time I had a chance to interview a Pranic Healer, Dr. Smitha Rao. Pranic Healing was a term I had heard before but did not know anything about it.
I produce an excerpt from the interview below; hope it throws more light on this concept.
Me – Dr. Rao, thank you for taking out time from your busy schedule! I would love to know more about you.
Dr. Rao – It is my pleasure. I am a dentist by profession, but I have not been practicing for a few years. I’ve small children & have been taking care of them. In the meantime, I found Pranic Healing.
My experiences & what I saw in my surroundings made me gravitate towards a spiritual way of life. It has been ~13 years since I have learnt & started practicing Pranic Healing.
Me – Tell me more about Pranic Healing.
Dr. Rao – It is an energy form of healing & a no – touch therapy. It can be used for all kinds of problems & ailments – emotional, financial, mental & physical. Energy is in & all around us, and we can work with these energies. We can change them according to how we want our life to proceed. We can help ourselves & our loved ones.
Pranic Healing is also about one’s evolution. As you take higher courses, you realize it is more than just healing. It is how to evolve to a better person, how to understand the higher soul concepts, how life goes on, how you can make it better, & how you can make your future lifetimes better too.
Me – You said it is a no – touch therapy. So how does your typical Healing session occur?
Dr. Rao – I do not even need to call the person! I inform them that I am going to do the Healing at so & so time. I tell them to not do any rigorous work then; Lie/ sit down in a quiet space for that duration.
If there is an emotional/ mental issue, I do tell the person to be energetically clean. I tell them to keep their surroundings energetically clean. Negative energies are clingy; they keep returning.
I teach how to maintain high energy so that the Healing can be received completely by their system. Pranic Healing is based on ‘oneness.’ I can connect to the person through energy.
As a Healer, I’ve to do certain practices to establish a stronger energy cord with Mother Earth. With the help of these practices, & at times, the name & age of the person & a photograph, I can conduct the Healing.
Me – Did this not conflict with the scientific side of you?
Dr. Rao – It is an exact science. If you study it, you understand that it is based on the laws of nature. It clicked perfectly with my logical bent of mind. Pranic Healing brings a scientific meaning to spirituality.
Me – Dr. Rao, please tell me about your initial days.
Dr. Rao – When I began, I researched about the practices I could follow. Pranic Healing gave me positive outcomes; I started following it more & took courses in it.
I began trying to help people around me & am now a Healer professionally.
Me – Please tell me how you utilized Pranic Healing to help people.
Dr. Rao – I have been able to heal many people. I am happy I could help energetically. The principle of Pranic Healing is that the body is capable of healing itself, but there are blocks in the energy flow. At times, we create these blocks ourselves & the energies cannot flow freely in our system.
By Pranic Healing, we try & remove these blocks, and give in fresh energy. The body can then heal itself faster. E.g., if it is a common cold virus infection, the body takes ~seven days to heal. When we help with Pranic Healing twice a day, the person heals in three- or four-days. That is the difference. The body does not have to keep pulling energy from the environment; we give it freely.
Disclosure – I have not utilized Dr. Rao’s (or any other Pranic Healer’s) services, but I recommended it to one of my friends; she found it immensely beneficial.
Several times I hear, regarding physical health, that no treatment is working on an ailment. While I am a believer in allopathy, there is no harm in seeking out alternate therapies, especially ones like Pranic Healing.
For emotional/ mental health, I will certainly suggest giving it a shot. I believe in the energy or ‘vibe’ concept, & that affects our constitution.
Have you had a Pranic Healing experience? I will love to hear about it.
