What is the aura?

 

The aura is an energy field which interpenetrates and surrounds the physical body. This energy body absorbs, distributes and energizes the entire physical body with prana (vital life force energy). When the physical body becomes sick, it may be partly caused by general or localised depletion or congestion of prana in the energy body. In pranic depletion and congestion, the surrounding energy channels are partially or severely blocked which means that prana cannot flow freely in and out around the affected area.

 

What are chakras?

 

Chakras are whirling centers of energy and are very important parts of the energy bodies anatomy.

Just as the physical body has vital organs and glands, the energy body has major, minor, and mini

chakras which control and energize the physical organs and glands. Chakras absorb, digest and

distribute prana to different parts of the body. When one or more chakras begin to malfunction,

the vital organs become sick or diseased because they do not have enough vital energy to operate

properly. Pranic Healing works with 11 major chakras and numberous mini and minor chakras.
