PRNA SHAKTI

Prna Shakti is a yogic technique used for healing. In this process the Prna,
the bio-plasmic energy, is derived from the sun and temporarily stored in Ajn
Chakra, a psychic center at the pineal gland, in the mid-brain region. It is then
taken, via the spine and a specific junction point (usually located at the center of
the spine) to the affected part in your body. The affected parts is given a healing
bath in a radiant manner, as if you poured water over your head and feel it
flowing down in all directions.
The technique is divided into two parts. The first part is receiving and storing
Prna, and the second one is healing with Prna. Before we begin, let us
understand an important point: that all the movement of energy is during
inhalation only.
RECEIVING AND STORING PRNA
First, let us prepare our body. Make it an efficient vehicle for Prna by breathing
in smoothly through nose, and breathing out uniformly and gracefully through the
center of the lips as slowly as possible. Carry on with this type of respiration,
keeping eyes closed, at least 11 times, enjoying progressive relaxation, physical
as well as mental. Exhale fully, and at the end of exhalation, visualize the sun.
As you begin inhaling, the Prna from the sun rides along the wave of inhalation,
starting from the sun and ending in the Ajn chakra. The wave of inhalation
completes its journey at the Ajn chakra. Hold the breath for 5 to 10 seconds
and, during this holding, empty and store the Prna, the energy, at the Ajn
chakra, the reservoir of energy.
Visualize the whole head to be full of holes like a sieve and breathe out through
all the pores of the head.
At the end of exhalation, reach back to the sun. Begin inhaling and let the Prna
rise on the wave of inhalation, reaching the Ajn chakra at the end of inhalation.
Hold the breath for 5 to 10 seconds and, while holding the breath, empty and

store the Prna at the Ajn chakra. Repeat this process of receiving and storing
of Prna not more than 11 times, or sooner, if the head feels heavier.
In this section, let us review an important point where all energy movement is
during inhalation only. Exhalation is passive, with no energy activity.
Before we proceed with the healing cycle, let us learn the following terminal, or
junction, points.
Ajn chakra (behind the center of

1.

eyebrows in the mid-brain region) is a

junction point for head, brain, forehead,
eyes, ears and nose.
2.

Vishuddhi chakra (at the center of

spine behind voice box) is a junction

point for throat, neck, shoulders and
hands.
3.

Anhat chakra (at the center of

spine behind lower right corner of the

heart) is a junction point for lungs and
heart.
4.

Manipur chakra (at the center of spine behind belly button) is a junction

point for stomach, pancreas, liver, gall bladder, small intestine, ascending colon,
transverse colon, kidneys and adrenal glands.
5.

Swdhisthn chakra (at the end of the spine) is a junction point for

descending colon, pelvic area, thighs, knees, legs and feet).

6.

Mooladhar chakra (in the pelvic area in front of the end of the spine; for the

woman, at the cervix, and for the male, between urinary and excretory organ) is a
junction point for urino-genital area.

HEALING WITH PRNA

Exhale and, at the end of exhalation, reach to your Ajn chakra. Inhale, thinking
that your breath is like a wave that Prna is riding on, reaching to a junction point
after traveling along your spine. All the Prna now originates from the Ajn
chakra and reaches to the affected part via the junction point. At the end of
inhalation, hold the breath from 5 to 10 seconds and give a radiant healing bath
to the affected part with the Prna. Breathe out from the body as if the body has
thousands of pores all over.
At the end of exhalation, reach again to your Ajn chakra. Inhalation begins and
Prna rides along the wave of inhalation along the spine to the affected part via
the junction point. At the end of inhalation, give the affected part a radiant Prnabath with healing confidence. Continue the healing cycle until Ajn chakra feels
empty.
Let us take an example of a heart patient. Having received the Prna Shakti from
the sun and stored at the Ajn chakra as mention earlier, now as you inhale, take
Prna shakti from Ajn chakra along with your breath to travel along the spine to
reach to Anhat chakra, located at the center of your spine behind the lower right
hand corner of your heart. From Anhat chakra take it to your physical heart at
the completion of your breath. Hold your breath for five to ten seconds. During
this holding pour the energy on your heart giving a radiant bath. Exhale through
all the pores all over your body. At the end of exhalation please go back to Ajn
chakra and keep repeating the cycles, until Ajn chakra feels empty and head
feels very light.
Relax and meditate upon the fully rejuvenated part of your body. With a sense of
gratitude and acknowledgment, enjoy serenity and divinity within. Try to put your
mind where your heart is, and may your inner light guide you.
Hari AUM.
