First and foremost, I would like to state clearly here that ALL energy healing modalities work. There is no one method that is better than another. It depends on the healer (giver), patient (receiver) and condition (issue).
These energy healings were once known as shamanism and faith healing (religion based). In the past, anyone in the west who practised these forms of healing work or energy work were branded witches and wizards. While the practice was quite obscure before the dawn of christianity, it was accepted that there were both white wizards and white witches as well as dark wizards and dark witches. While many viewed these practices with caution, these wizards and witches were approached when there was a need (like in healing work). Hence the many tales we have. With the onset and eventual firm footing of Christianity (or rather Catholicism) in the west, these practices were viewed with suspicion and many practitioners were executed and burnt at the stake for practising so-called dark arts. There was no differentiation by the church on white or black magic. To the church all energywork was evil because they could not comprehend it. In the east however, they were more tolerant. Shamanism (Taoist, Vedic, aborigine etc) were quite mainstream and it was widely accepted that there are both white shamans (white magic) and black shamans (black magic). Interestingly, while christianity has labeled these practitioners as evil, they themselves practice faith healing which is essentially the same.
With the coming age of Aquarius (that some say is already here), these types of ancient knowledge are coming out into the open again but called different names. The most popular and widespread energy healing modality is Reiki. While Reiki may have been officially revealed to Usui in the late 1800s or early 1900s, the technique has actually been around for thousands of years. It was merely "re-introduced" at the turn of the 20th century to Usui. From Reiki (as it is now known), many different modality has mushroomed that utilize the same fundamental methodology. The technique utilizes a "blessing" technique and the energy is from a Divine Source and it flows to wherever it is needed. A practitioner may even look like he is using faith healing. I like to call these type of healing work the Passive Intelligent Divine Source Type.
Similarly another very popular healing modality today is Pranic Healing. This technique was revealed to Master Choa a Filipino engineer of Chinese descend in the late 20th century. Pranic Healing is very different from the Reiki type. This technique is clearly more shamanic in nature involving many hand movements in addition to the blessing technique. Tools include crystal wands and the like. And the energy that it draws can be from the Divine Source or even from nature itself. Again, this technique has actually been around for thousands of years. Taoist priest in ancient China use it. Indian Shamans and Red Indian Shamans both use it. Because of it's active hand movements, a practitioner may look like a whacko to the uninformed. I like to call these type of healing work the Active Shamanic Type.
Both the passive and active types of healing modality use energy to do its work. British Trad Craft refers to this "energy" as the universal life force, the "spark of life", such as what is mentioned in the Bible, that brings "life" to every living thing. This energy is universal and should be thought of as ONE energy force, not individual life forces. Some akin this universal energy as god; others akin it to the "Universal Consciousness." It is a very powerful force that most people never think about. This energy has many names: chi, ki, prana, lifeforce etc. They are essentially the same.
We now know conclusively through science that energy can never be created or destroyed - it can only change form. We are made of energy, therefore we also cannot be created or destroyed - we just change form. Many human beings have such a fear of death, but we are eternal life that simply changes its outside form.
So which type is suitable for you? It depends on the type of person you are. Are you logical minded? Are you intuitive? Pranic Healing is suitable for those who are very logical minded because it employs a recipe book approach coupled with active hand movements. Reiki on the other hand suits those who are more intuitive (or like to feel). But this is not something cast in stone. A logical minded person may still find Reiki better and the same goes for an intuitive person, he may find Pranic Healing more suitable. It really depends on the individual. Only by trying it will you know which type you have more affinity with.
Before anyone says, "is these kind of healing work real?" let me assure you that it is very very real. How do I prove it? Refer to my posting on feeling and seeing energy. Look at your hand, we see a solid object but if you look at your hand through a powerful microscope, you will see cells. If you look into the cells, you see atoms. In the atoms, you see protons, electrons and neutrons. At that level, we already learnt from school that there is actually more empty space than protons, electrons and neutrons. So essentially, we are made up of empty space. Dig deeper and you get energy. Energy that binds all that together. So coming back to that solid hand of yours, how is it that at a deeper level we are more "empty space", and yet to the naked eye, we are a solid object? It is because the matter (protons, neutrons and electrons) are vibrating at a certain frequency. This vibrational frequency causes the naked eye to see something as solid.
BTW, at the time of the Rama empire and Atlantis, these forms of healing work are common place. And they even revolve their societies and their technology around this "life force" which was at one time called "aether".
