Executive Summary
West African Pranic Healing Foundation, The Gambia (WAPHF-G) in Association with Gambia Organization of the Visually Impaired (GOVI) initiated a project, to apply Pranic Healing Techniques on Partially blind students from GOVI. Pranic Healing is an ancient science and art of healing people using Prana or life force. Pranic Healing is not a replacement to orthodox medicine, but a compliment to it. It is a no-Touch and drugless therapy. The Gambia Organization of the Visually Impaired (GOVI) is the only school in Gambia where visually impaired children have access to education. The GOVI students receive their eye treatment from Sheikh Zayed Regional Eye care centre. WAPHF-G approached GOVI to apply Master Choa Kok Suis Pranic Energy Healing Techniques on six partially blind Students. The idea was welcomed by GOVI and six students were identified to undergo Pranic healing sessions from April to November 2010. Students chosen for this project had an ophthalmic diagnosis to know the eye conditions before Pranic Healing. The healing techniques were applied on the students twice a week for a period of eight months. During this period students also practiced physical and breathing exercises along with Super Brain Technique. In eight months, 50 Pranic Healing sessions were carried out. Students eye conditions were rechecked by the Ophthalmologist and based on the improvements noticed, one student was recommended to move from GOVI to conventional school. The other five students noticed significant improvement in their vision and their symptoms like photophobia, pains, redness, itching and headache that were earlier experienced were drastically reduced. Students performance in their exams has improved. Parents have expressed their satisfaction on the improvement of their childrens vision.

Aims and Objectives

The Aims of applying Pranic Healing on partially blind students is to To relieve vulnerable students from pains and discomfort Apply Pranic Healing protocols to improve their vision To improve physical, emotional and mental health through physical exercises, breathing exercises and Super Brain Technique. To note the changes in their vision, before and after Pranic Healing

Pranic Healing

Methodology
Prior to Pranic Healing sessions, these six students were taken for eye tests at Shiekh Zayed Regional Eye care centre. After caring out refraction test the Ophthalmologist recorded symptoms like itching, pains, redness, headache, watering of eye, etc. Pranic Healing sessions were conducted twice a week in GOVI resource centre for the blind. Partially blind students are first guided with physical exercises, Super Brain Technique and Breathing exercises. The Healer would apply scanning, a method to feel the energy, apply cleaning a method to remove the unwanted energy and latter energies a method to fasten the healing process. A healing session lasts for 20 minutes per student. A period of two hours was allocated for Pranic healing twice a week. Based on students diagnosis, Pranic healing protocols were applied. To see the effects of Pranic healing on partially blind students, fifty healing sessions or a period of eight months was essential, after which students need to go for their refraction test at Shiekh Zayed Regional Eye care centre.

Implementation
In first week of April 2010, parents and teachers of the visually impaired students were highlighted on the importance of Pranic healing in an introductory session during PTA Meeting at GOVI resource centre for the blind. It was mentioned that, Pranic healing is a No-Touch therapy; the healer stands one meter away from the patient to apply healing. Pranic healing is a drug less therapy that complements the efforts of medicine. In one of the experiments carried out during this introductory session, Teachers and parents were able to feel the Prana in their hands. The parents/guardians of these students supported the proposed project to carry out healing sessions. The following six partially blind students from various grades in GOVI were selected for the project. Eye tests on these students were carried out at the Sheikh Zayed Regional Eye care centre in Kanifing, prior to Pranic Healing sessions. Details are as follows

Pranic Healing session was conducted twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Before Pranic healing session, students are guided with Super Brain Technique Physical exercises Breathing exercises

Super Brain Technique Super Brain Technique is a two-minute easy exercise that provides Pranic energy to the brain and keeps it fit. Super brain technique can increase students concentration. This technique was approved by the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education- The Gambia to be introduced in lower and Upper Basic Schools. More information can be found in Appendix. Physical exercises To maintain the good state of health and to purify the subtle energy channels, physical exercises were introduced; Eye rotation, neck exercise, upper body twist, spine exercise, hip exercises, etc. were practiced for 10 minutes before each Pranic Healing session. Refer to appendix for more details.

Pranic Healing

Breathing Exercises There are two ways of breathing the correct way and the incorrect way. The correct way is abdominal breathing. Abdominal breathing is natural, infants and small children do it instinctively, without being taught by anybody. When children are asleep the abdomen expands when inhaling and contracts during exhalation. Breathing exercises make a persons energy body stronger and denser. It also helps a person to de-stress and to have inner calmness and promotes good health. Pranic Healing After the exercises, all the six students receive 20 minutes of Pranic healing each. The person receiving Pranic Healing is asked to sit in a relaxed position on a chair; the healer will be at a distance of one to two meters. The healer removes the used up energies from the affected areas by cleansing and disintegrates this energy in a salt basin. The healer will latter energise the affected areas using Prana. Refer appendix for more information.

Pranic Healing

Appendix 1: Prana or Bio Plasmic Energy

Pranic healing is an ancient science and art of healing that utilizes prana to heal the whole physical body. It involves the transfer of bioplasmic energy. Many Doctors around the world are using Pranic Healing as a complementary therapy to heal physical and Healing psychological ailments. Pranic Healing is based on the overall structure of human body. Mans whole body is actually composed of two parts visible physical body and invisible Energy body called as bioplasmic body. The visible physical body is that part of the human body that we lasmic see, touch, and are most acquainted with. The bioplasimic body is that invisible luminous energy body which interpenetrates the visible physical body and extend beyond it by four to five inches in a normal person. Pranic Healing is a highly evolved and tested system of energy medicine developed by energy Master Choa Kok Sui that utilizes prana to balance, harmonize and transform the body's energy processes. Prana is a Sanskrit word that means life-force. This invisible bio . bioenergy or vital energy keeps the body alive and maintains a state of good health. In acupuncture, the Chinese refer to this subtle energy as Chi. It is also called Ruah or the . Breath of Life in Hebrew. Pranic Healing is a simple yet powerful & effective system of no-touch energy healing. It is based on the fundamental principles that the body is a self-repairing living entity that possesses the ability to heal itself and that the healing process is accelerated by increasing this life force that is readily available from asing the sun, air and ground to address physical & emotional imbalances. Master Choa Kok Sui says "Life Energy or prana is all around us. It is pervasive; we are actually in an ocean of Life Energy. Based on this principle, a healer can draw in Pranic Energy or Life Energy from the surroundings." Pranic Healing requires no drugs, gadgets, not even physical contact with the subject. Physical contact is not required because the practitioner is working on the bioplasmic or energy body and not directly on the plasmic physical body. This energy body, or aura, is the mould or blueprint that surrounds and interpenetrates ld the physical body. It is the energy body that absorbs

life energy and distributes it throughout the physic physical body, to the muscles, organs, glands, etc. Bio-Plasma is the scientific name for Prana. BioPlasma comes from the word bio which means life and plasma which is the forth state of matter. The earlier three being Solid, Liquid and Gas. Plasma is ionized gas or gas particles with positive or negative ized charged particles. The Kirlian photography refers to the resulting image of a gas discharge; "fluorescence" or glow that appears around the edge of a subject after it is placed in a high-intensity electrical field that is captured on a ical photo-material. Scientists have been able to study, material. observe, and take pictures of small articles like fingers, leaves, etc. The Gas Discharge Visualization technique (GDV) gives a real time viewing of the real-time human energy field. This new technology allows one to capture by a special camera the d. physical, emotional, mental energy emanating and translate this into a computerized model. The visible physical body is moulded after the energy body. They are so closely related that what affects one affects the other. If the energy body is depleted or congested with hat Prana, the physical body gets sick. When the energy body is healed, the corresponding physical body also gets healed.

22

Pranic Healing

Energy body of a depressed person is one to two inches while a person suffering from chronic ailment has imbalanced energy body and it is lacking in energy. GDV photography shows that a healthy person has uniform Pranic energy and dense energy field. A person suffering from eye ailment has imbalanced energy field. Pranic Healing techniques like cleansing and energising can balance the energy body. Pranic Healing protocols for eye ailments like near sightedness, far sightedness, Eye infection, cross-Eyes, wall eyes, chronic red eye, floater, Glaucoma, cataract, etc. can be found in Advanced Pranic Healing book written by Master Choa Kok Sui. More protocols can be found on internet. Pranic Healing protocols for cataract is explained in this project report. Anybody with average intelligence and above 16 years of age can learn and apply these Pranic Healing techniques. Pranic Healing protocol for Cataract 1. Scan the Pranic energy of patient, rescan during treatment 2. Apply localized sweeping thoroughly on the Ajna energy center. Energize the eyes through the Ajna with Light whitish Green colour. This is to clean and loosen the diseased and used up energies in the minute nadies in the eye. Energize the eyes with Light whitish yellow Prana. This is to facilitate the removal of the diseased and used up energies 3. Apply Localized sweeping thoroughly on the eyes. Energize the eyes through the ajna chakra with Light whitish green Prana then with ordinary light whitish violet Prana. Visualise Pranic energies going into the eyes. If the patient uses eye glasses, apply localized sweeping on the eye glasses. 4. Localized thorough sweeping on the forehead chakra, crown chakra, the entire brain, temple minor chakras and back head minor chakra with Light whitish green and ordinary light whitish violet Prana. Visualize Pranic energies going into the eyes. 5. Energize the crown chakra, forehead chakra and the temple minor chakras with Light whitish green Prana then with light whitish violet.

Appendix 2 Super Brain Technique

Super Brain Technique can increase the intelligence of people; it is based on the principle of ear acupuncture; to understand the principles behind the super brain technique, it is important to explain certain new scientific concepts. LAW OF CORRESPONDENCE Dr. Paul Nogier MD, a neurologist, spent 20 years on medical research. He rediscovered that the ears correspond to the whole body. The ear corresponds to an inverted foetus curled in the womb. The ear lobe corresponds to the head [ref: Nogier, Dr. Paul M. F., Handbook to Auriculotherapy. The correspondence of the ear to the whole body was already recognized by the ancient Chinese acupuncturists and also to the great teachers in India, who developed a technique to increase peoples intelligence. Super brain Technique transforms or internally alchemizes the BioPlasmic energies or Pranic energy from the lower energy centres into higher subtler energies. These energies are then utilized by the upper energy centres. When those centres are highly energized, they energize the brain so it can function with greater efficiency and effectively Energize and Activating Pranic Energy in Brain The right ear lobe corresponds to the left brain. The left ear lobe corresponds to the right brain. When the right ear lobe is gently squeezed with the left thumb and left index finger with the thumb outside, it produces the necessary energy connection. This connection causes the left brain and pituitary gland to become energized and activated. Similarly, when the left ear lobe is gently squeezed with the right thumb and right index finger with the thumb outside, it produces the necessary energy connection, which causes the right brain and pineal gland to become energized and activated. For energizing and activating the Left Brain and the Right Brain, the left arm must be inside, while the right arm must be outside. The correct arm position is important for energizing and activating the brain. The physical body is very complicated subtle electronic equipment. When a proper energy wiring connection is made, it produces the right results. When the connection is wrong, expected results are not achieved. When squatting down, breath in simultaneously. When standing up, breath out simultaneously.

SUPER BRAIN TECHNIQUE 1. Face East

2. Connect tongue to palate

3. Stand with your feet, shoulder width apart

4. Squeeze the right ear lobe with your left thumb and left index finger.

5. The thumb must be facing out and the index finger must be on the inside when gently squeezing the ear lobe.

6. Squeeze the left ear lobe with your right thumb and right index finger

7. The left arm must be inside and the right arm outside. This is the correct arm position.

8. When squatting down, breath in simultaneously

9. When standing up, breath out simultaneously

10. Practice squatting for 14 times

11. Release your fingers from your ear lobes.

27

Pranic Healing

Please Note Super brain Technique must be practiced every day to repeatedly energies and activate the brain. Practice Super brain Technique for 14 times. Do not practice the Super Brain Technique two days before, during and two days after menstruation.

There are multiple factors that may affect the results of the practice of Super brain Technique.

Facing the correct direction Positioning the arms properly Positioning the fingers properly Breathing correctly

Many people have experienced stress reduction by practicing the Superbrain Technique. Other benefits noted from the practice of Superbrain Technique include greater psychological stability and an ability to regulate the sex drive. This is especially helpful for teenagers. Prolonged practice of the Superbrain Technique can make the practitioner, in general, smarter and more psychologically balanced. According to Master Choa Kok Sui, when too much energy is stuck down in lower energy centers of the body and not enough was flowing to the brain. Super Brain technique would cause the Pranic energy in the lower portion of the body to flow up and energizes the brain. This technique makes it easier for thinking and focusing, it also has a calming effect.

Appendix 3 Physical & Breathing Exercise

Physical exercise is important for proper circulation of blood to various organs in the body. Pranic healing exercises are based on the concepts of energy flow and maintaining the fluidity of energy throughout the body. This has a cleansing and energizing effect on the body. The diseased energy is expelled out from the body and fresh Pranic energy enters and provides good health.

Eye Exercises Neck Exercises Upper Body Twist Hip Rotation Shoulder Exercise Spine Exercise Hand Exercises (wrist, hand, fingers) Semi-squat Exercise Feet Exercise

Breathing Exercise Breathing is of two types, the correct way and the incorrect way. The correct way is abdominal breathing and the incorrect way is chest breathing. It is the diaphragm, which enables the lungs to expand and to contract. The lungs by themselves do not have the capacity to expand in order to draw in air, or to contract in order to expel used-up air. With abdominal breathing, the abdomen is slightly pushed out during inhalation, causing the diaphragm to be pulled down, which enables the lungs to draw in more air. During exhalation, the abdomen is slightly pulled in, causing the diaphragm to be pushed up, which enables the lungs to exhale more used-up air. Also, more pranic energy is drawn in during inhalation and more used-up energy is expelled during exhalation.

Appendix 5 Master Choa Kok Sui

An author and teacher of international calibre, Master Choa Kok Sui is the modern founder of Pranic Healing. He devoted over 30 years of study on the use of subtle energy to heal the wide spectrum of psychological and physical ailments. He has transformed the truth and ideas into simple teachings that demystified the world of energy healing and he has made it accessible to everyone. Master Choa has authored 20 books published in 27 languages. His work has spread over 150 countries in less than two decades. Master Choa once wrote, just because science is not able to detect and measure life energy or Prana, it does not mean that Prana does not exist or does not affect the health and well being of body. In ancient times, people were not aware of the existence of electricity; it does not mean the electricity did not exist. Ones ignorance does not change reality; it simply alters the perception or reality, resulting in misconception and misperception, of what is and what is not, what can be done and what cannot be done. Master Choas combined experience as teacher, an extraordinary healer, a scientist and a successful businessman has provided him with unique and affective ways to address modern days problems through the application of energy. All of this is expressed and shared his books and courses. One can discover miraculous possibilities by applying Pranic healing and super brain technique in life. Now more than ever improved health and well being is at your finger tips.
