Different Energy Healing Modalities - What Suits You?

Usui

There are many different types of energy healing modalities in this world. What used to be called magic in the past is now called energy work or just energy healing. The methodology employed differs between each of them while maintaining certain similarities. To the average person on the street, this is New Age stuff and that all those fellas going for it are quacks.

Well... like I've said before, these modalities are actually not new. They've been around for thousands of years. Even the most famous and "old" of them all (present day that is), Reiki was  "founded" (more like discovered) in the late 19th century in Japan by Usui. I say "founded" because he discovered it suddenly. He wasn't actively searching for it. IMHO, it could be that his Kundalini was awakened and perhaps he was contacted by spiritual beings to bring forth this healing technique. Maybe... who knows? But from Japan, Mrs Takata brought Reiki to the western world and since then Reiki has evolved into many different forms. 

Reiki

Many different Reiki styled healing schools have mushroomed with other spiritual beings contacting certain practitioners to further evolve the system. There are soooo many types now. Some powerful, some not so powerful compared to the original system. The Reiki based system is very yin (feminine). There is hardly any hand movements. And clairvoyantly it appears to be bringing forth Electric Violet Light, an intelligent form of divine energy that comes from above through our crown chakra.

The system gives the appearance of a faith healer or spiritual healer placing his/her hand just above the area on the patients body that is having a dis-ease. Thus it gives an impression of faith healing / spiritual healing. Actually energy is flowing from the Divine to the healer's crown, out through the healer's hands to the patient. And Electric Violet Light is intelligent and knows where to go to when at the patient's energy body.

Pranic Crystal Healing

Pranic Healing is another very different modality. Although the modern Pranic Healing system was brought forth in a big way by the late GrandMaster Choa Kok Sui in the late 20th century, it has actually been around for thousands of years spanning many cultures and continents but called different names, independent of each other. Because the practice is based on a healer's use of the elements air, sun, ground and divine Prana (meditation and prayer), it naturally developed in several places and quickly adapted to new communities once introduced. Over time the Rishis, Chinese Taoists, and Tibetan monks (the most prominently known users of Pranic healing) used Prana. Lessons in Pranic healing were cloaked in secrecy and only taught to a few, who were responsible for passing down the practice.

Pranic healing empowered ancient people to heal one another. It created a system of respected mystical healers with a following of laypeople who were able to overcome their ailments, or at least believe they were getting better. Because of the religious connotations of Pranic healing, the healers were thought to be closer to God and therefore were part of a caste system that helped to structure ancient civilizations in terms of power, religion and healing. Though actually the truth was that the practitioners knew how to manipulate energy so appear to be god like to the masses. The teachings were secret remember? Pranic Healing or similar type are very yang (masculine) with lots of hand movement. Think of shamanism and you get the picture. 

So which system suits you depends on you entirely. Some people (both guys and gals) are more Yin and thus Reiki or an equivalent Yin system suits them. Whereas some people (also guys and gals) are more Yang and thus Pranic Healing or an equivalent Yang system suits them. But that does not mean we cannot learn both types. we can learn any system and the stick with the one that suits us. Or perhaps, from there, who knows? An amalgamation of systems perhaps?

Pranic Healing

But all of them have a few things in common:

1. Meditation (advanced type) increases the healers powers and effectiveness. That's why shamans, martial artists etc meditate a lot...it is to increase chi.
2. The cleaner the physical and etheric body of the healer, the finer the energy that comes through. The reverse is true for grouser physical and etheric bodies. If you "defile" yourself, naturally the energy that flows through would be "dirtier" in nature. You won't be able to heal effectively and you may even make patients worse.
3. Healers have to believe in a higher power (God) for the energies to flow through them.
4. Healers need not be of any particular religion as religion is man-made. True spirituality or universal truths is universal and is not the exclusivity of any one culture, race nor religion regardless of the capacity of the human mind to accept the truth.
