All that is power in the Universe , manifesting as force or attraction - isbut different manifestation of that Unitary power which the Vedists call Prana. Using this Vital Energy to heal is called Pranic Therapy.
This article is a continuation of the earlier article Pranic Therapy Part VI.

The Human Electro-magnetic Field ( also known as the Auric Field )has been
proved by Kirlian Photography. The part of the body afflicted bydisease will be
darkened and a gem therapist gives the much neededcosmic color ( gemstone ) to
redeem the area afflicted by disease.

Medical Astrology postulates that a weak planet can bestow disease. If the sixth
house is afflicted, digestive tract disorders are indicated
If the fourth house is afflicted, it clearly means affliction to the heart ( as
the heart is the 4th house by correspondence).
Here are the correspondences between the 7 Deadly Sins & the Seven
planets
Jupiter -
Avarice
Venus -
Lust
Mars -
Anger
Saturn -
Pride
Moon -
Jealousy
Mercury -
Sloth
Sun -
Covetousness
Every man is born with a major flaw. By knowing which planet is afflicted,
the astrologer can discern the Deadly Sin the native is afflicted with. If
Jupiter is weak, Avarice will be high in him. If Mars, anger and if Venus,
lust etc. To overcome that vice, intense prayer and meditation is required
and all vices can only be overcome by Grace Divine .
Medical Astrology's perspective about the 12 Houses of the Zodiac
Ist House
Head
2nd House
Face
Third House
Throat
Fourth House
Heart
Fifth House
Place beneath the heart
Sixth House
Stomach
Seventh House
Generative Organ
Eighth House
Upper Thigh
Ninth House
Thigh
Tenth House
Knee
Eleventh House
Calf
Twelfth House
Feet
Affliction to any house indicates affliction to the corresponding part of the
body. Rahu - or any other malefic - in the sixth isindicative of stomach trouble
& ulceration. Fourth house affliction means that the heart is afflicted and
first house affliction means thatthe head is afflicted. Medical Astrology can
therefore point to disease and using the yogic technique of Pranic Therapy, the
disease can be healed.
Shift of Stand From Head to Heart
Scientific research have accepted "psycho-neuro-immunology - theimpact of
mind on the immune system. "Cardiac-neuro-immunology"is also accepted
- ( the impact of heart on the immune system ). TheBoth metaphorically and
anatomically the centre of our action is the heart. Our heart is 60 times
stronger as an electrical generatorcompared to the brain. The heart is the big
brother & the brain is the little brother. As all activities of the
mind-body pivot around thecentral powerhouse - our heart, we have two different
existences, head-centred & heart-centred.
The new science of Cardio-neuro-immunology
postulates that Self-healing requires a cardiocentric attention.We are
judgemental if we live with our head-centred scriptOn the other hand, if we
adopt a heart-centred way of living, we are incapable of generating any enemy
and Love Divine will cure us.
The Internal Healing Power of the body
The human body is remarkable in its own resilience or healing power.
The fiercely competitive world, the tension associated with job & business
and an achievement oriented culture keeps our stress arousal level abnormally
high. This releases chemicals ( toxins ) such as cortisol, adrenalin &
noradrenaline leading to suppression of the immune system and weakening of the
body's healing power. We have to get away from this frenzy & vigilance for
effectuating healing. This diversion from a stress aroused state is called
altered state. In order to heal better, we should be able to enter into the
altered state.
Altered State
An altered state is a state different form the normal awakened state.We have
three relative states of Consciousness - normal awakened state( Jagrat ),
dreaming state ( Swapna ) & Deep Sleep ( Sushupthi).Scientifically REM (
rapid eye movement ) is the Dreaming State and non-REM ( non-rapid eye movement
) is the Deep Sleep state. Thereis a higher state which is called the meditative
state. It is our commonintuitive experience & logic that restful sleep is
conducive to healing The interface of entering into sleep is called
hypnagogic state .Exiting from sleep is called hypnapompic state. The twilight
state has alpha theta brain waves compared to beta waves during awakened
state.The meditative state is the same as the twilight state,except that we
enter it and exit from it by choice. The meditative state allows our mind and
body to talk to each other. ( Normal brain activity is marked by Beta waves of
25 cycles per second where meditative state is characterised by alpha waves of
8.5 cycles per second ).In summary, our stressful life-style does not allow us
to enter the alteredstate of sleep, daydream & meditation, to heal by proper
body-mind communication and so we have to take refuge in Yoga to effectuate
healing.
Opening the System to Divine Shakti or the Cosmic Prana
Scientifically, behind the evolution of the species ( material evolution ),there
is an evolution of Consciousness ( spiritual evolution). Our life has only a
symbolic value in the sense that it is good and necessary as a Becoming; and all
Becoming has Being as its goal & fulfillment and God is the only Being.
Those who find it difficult to follow these techniques can open themselves
to the source of Divine Power through intense prayer. In the Geetha, the Lord
promises that He takes care of the material welfare of thedevotee who depend on
Him solely. He also gives the Solemn Assurance- that by giving up in heart and
soul to him, the devotee will overcome all difficulties by Grace Divine.
He also gives the Word of Refuge ( Abhaya Vachana ) that His devotee shall never
perish. By cultivating an attitude of trust & absolute self-surrender, we
can open ourselves to Cosmic Prana, Absolute self-reliance has been defined as
Reliance on the Absolute Self. When such a divine attitude becomes deeply
ingrained in our psyche, we find that everything in Nature becoming
favorable to us and the process of healing takes place in our psychophysical
system. Thousands of people all over the world have found health, prosperity and
peace through yogic methods. Prayer overcomes the resistance of the ego
&opens the chambers of the unconscious to the inflow of Divine Shakti
or Cosmic Prana. For this, however, prayer must be done with intensity,
sincerity & perseverance. Only through this kind of prayer can we know how
Pranic Healing takes place.
The Grace always grants the
sincere prayers !
Summing up, if we remove all
mental & physical blocks and open our channels to the Cosmic Prana, the
Universal Stream of Consciousness pervading the Universe, we can get ourselves
healed. Since removingall blocks is difficult humanly, it is better to request
for Divine Help. By means of the greatest Art that is Bhakthi Yoga, all blocks
willbe removed by Grace Divine and the greatest doctor that Nature is will heal
us.
All glory to the All-Merciful, the All-Compassionate!
How strange is Thy Grace !
