Develop Thy Self Through Transforming Attitude

        Man's character, behavior pattern, his attitude, aspirations, achievements, all are true reflections of his thought process. It can be a healthy thought process or an unhealthy thought process. Unhealthy thought process is synonymous with negative thinking and healthy thought process is synonymous with positive thinking. It affects the whole personality of the person. It is only this mental attitude which enables one to achieve his goals in life. This mental attitude helps one to be firm and patient in any circumstances.
        The most valuable lesson one learns in life is the importance of our thinking and the role it plays in our life. If we have happy thoughts, we will be happy. If we have had sad thoughts we will be depressed. If we have frightening thoughts, we will be scared. If we think ourselves to be unsuccessful, then we will be the same. Therefore, you are your own maker. You are what you make yourself to be by your thought process.
        It is not that we can solve all our problems easily. The main criteria is to understand that there is a difference between a problem and a tension. We must have a positive attitude towards all our problems and only then can we live peaceful.
        The famous poet Milton had said " There is only one mind; it converts hell into heaven and it converts its heaven into hell. This is easily seen in Napoleon's case who was such a powerful, enterprising and rich personality. He did not want any materialistic pleasure in life. He is said to have told St. Helena that he has not had even six days of happiness in his life. Just opposite to Napoleon is the blind and deaf Helen Keller who said that life was extremely precious to her, Napoleon's negative attitude has made his heaven into hell and Helen Keller's positive attitude had made her hell into heaven.
        A person can attain peace in life only by himself. It has rightly been said that a man is not sad by any particular incident or event but by his thoughts that occur after that particular incident.
        The first step to make the attitude positive is to start acting positive. If one is feeling sad, then he should start smiling and acting as if nothing is wrong. This acting will automatically become a reality after some time as the attitude will also change. For instance, there is the case of a man who was very ill. The doctors had told him that he would not live for many days. He started living in depression and as a result his family also became very sad and depressed. Then suddenly one day he realized that what he was doing was not right. He told himself that since he did not know when death would come, how could he behave in such a foolish manner. Death could take a year to come. Why not live happily as long as I am alive. Then he started smiling and acting as if nothing was wrong with him. He agreed that initially he had to make a lot of effort to look happy. Slowly this behaving or acting happy became a reality. He became normal. His disease also got cured.
        If we can attain happiness (or a positive healthy attitude) just by acting happy then why are we making everyone around us unhappy? Why should we suffer from small ailment when happiness can cure just anything and save lives?
        A man is capable of ruling the whole world. Instead of trying to rule the world, one must rule oneself. We must rule our thoughts, our mind and our emotions. We must attain power over everything by our behavior.
        Modern psychology has proved that negative thought, our resistance power decreases simultaneously. Today the whole world is trying to fight pollution but as long as the pollution of the world, mind and heart is there, the external pollution cannot be gotten rid of. The external pollution gives birth to diseases. It increases the intensity of the diseases.
        A slight negative doubt also becomes a reality. For example, a lady died of cancer in her stomach. Inspite of the doctor's reassurance that there was absolutely nothing wrong with her, she kept worrying about it. As a result, she got cancer in the same place.
        According to modern science, each nerve has a mind and a memory. It records each thought slowly and manifests itself in the physical body.
        It has also been proven by modern science that our breathing is directly connected with our mind. When we are breathing normally, then our mind is peaceful. When we are angry are breathing becomes abnormal and hence the whole area also affected. The mind is not at all peaceful abnormal breathing.
        By a positive attitude people can be won easily. A person who says 'yes' is heartily accepted in a group rather than a person who says 'No'.
        Let us make a list on how to make ourselves happy and positive. We must read this everyday in the morning.
        1. I will be happy today. Lincoln has rightly said "A man's happiness is within himself, not in any place outside."
        2. I will make myself adjust to the present or today's situation. I will not try to change another person according to my wishes. I will accept it.
        3. I will protect my body. I will do exercises, look after my body and not misutilize it. I will give it full respect by staying calm under all circumstances. I will practice long and deep breathing so that my body will feel healthy and hence help   me in progress.
        4. I will make my heart pure by keeping good company and reading good books which will make my thought process active and positive.
        5. I will do a good deed and I will try do at least two activities which I might not feel like doing.
        6. I will behave well. I will be humble and look pleasant. I will praise others genuinely. I will not find fault with anybody and hurt their feelings.
        7. I will try to solve only the present problems instead of worrying of the future.
        8. I will make a program for each hour. I need to follow it but at least it will solve the problem of indecision.
        9. I will set aside some time for myself and when I can do my religious activities like meditation, introspection etc.
        10.I will be careful. I will be sure that those persons whom I care also care about me. I will have faith.

Happiness has eluded us. What do we really mean by happiness? The dictionary defines the word 'happy' as "having, showing or causing a feeling of great pleasure, contentment, joy, etc. "When someone agree with you are happy. If someone agrees with you are happy. If someone disagrees with your viewpoint, you are unhappy. Thus happiness is a result of something you wanted, a craving that was gratified. If you had not and you would not have been unhappy. Thus, you need to adopt a mental attitude which is least likely to get your feeling hurt.
Someone hurts you badly and you refer to that person as your enemy. You will find that the person is hurting your feelings because you want him to behave in a particular way and he does not. Take a case where a person is rude and insults you. You wanted him to be polite, you were hurt, not by his behavior but by your expectations of him. Therefore, if you change your mental attitude no one can hurt you. If someone is rude, you must think of him as an unfortunate man who does not know how to behave properly. You should feel sorry for him and not annoyed. Take another case of a person who defames you in public. You are very annoyed. You must be silent. Your silence will be eloquent to witnesses. It will show your maturity and, in the slanderer a lack of discretion. Remember that when you are annoyed, you are hurting yourself. People will behave in a variety of ways. It is difficult to control their behavior. It is easier to control yourself and your mental attitude.

Another way to look at it is to "love thy enemy'. When someone abuses you, you want to retaliate. Refrain from doing so. You will be stronger for it. You will develop your will power and gain control over your emotions. This will develop your willpower and gain control over your emotions. This is not a weakness but strength. Imagine the reactions of a person who is trying to hurt you, when in return you show only love and helpfulness? We are here on this earth to perform our task and do our duty without hope of reward. A person who is irritating you might only be performing his task on this earth which may be to annoy and irritate you. He has been selected as the instrument whereby you are being punished for your sins. In this sense, your enemy is really helping you. If you stop hating others, you will be much happier. You will not fall ill as easily before.
Another way to control your hatred is to think that the object of your hatred may be in a different and a lower plane of evolution. This, however, should not inflate your ego. You should remember that at one time you were also like him at the lower level.

In addition to looking after you health and adopting the right mental attitude, you must remember that you have to suffer your past karma. If calamity comes, accept it. Think constructively and do not brood. This will only hurt you more.

Questions as why one person is a king and another a beggar, one a genius and another a fool, can only explained through the doctrine of Karma. Do not mistake this for fatalism. You can overcome your unfavorable destiny. When your efforts in this life are good, there is a conflict between the effect of the past bad efforts and the present good ones. It is merely a question of which will override the other. Thus the doctrine of Karma should set you on the path of doing the right things with a view to improve your own condition. If anything goes wrong, do not blame others. Blame yourself alone. Charge your Karma through virtuous actions as well as honest thoughts and words which do not hurt others.

You can develop the power of giving joy and happiness to others by showing friendliness towards the happy, compassion towards the unhappy and delight in the virtuous. Never hurt others, for you will only hurt yourself. If you remove violence from your thoughts, you will create around yourself a pleasant atmosphere and people will find it a joy to be with you. In turn you will also be happy. If you communicate happiness, it will be returned to you. Remember that every action produces a reaction. If you bang your fist against the wall, you hurt your own knuckles.

Everything boils down to the power of the mind. If you want to be happy we must develop the right frame of mind. The body and the mind are very firmly inter linked with one another and many illnesses having physical symptoms are really caused by mental disturbances. To rid ourselves of such illnesses it becomes necessary to work on the mind and not on the body. this can be done by (i) meditation, to remove the imbalance and (ii) by creating the right mental attitude for our future.

        You can build the character you want. It is purely a question of 'willing' it. Through the use of will power on your subconscious, you can develop the characteristics you desire. If you want to be a more courageous person, concentrate on courage. Fear will soon disappear. Similarly, of you get hurt very quickly, practice the detachment technique. Repeat to yourself that no one can hurt the real you.
        Think positively. Do not imagine that you cannot do certain things. If you do so, you will never be able to do those things.
        If positive and strong thoughts had entered our minds since our childhood, we would automatically have developed a positive attitude. The successful person has a positive mental attitude. Ha says 'I can and I will'. This method is similar to autosuggestion. You must have a strong desire before you succeed with this technique. You can give up anything 'if you want'. There must be sufficient willpower behind the desire to make auto-suggestion technique successful. you must have faith and confidence that the change that you desire will take place.

The easiest way to behave in terms of the ethical principles enunciated by our respective religions is to accept the concept of unity of life. There is but one reality and we are all part of that reality. We are all part of the universal self. Think of the power of whole, which is behind you.
Each one of us is connected with the other by an invisible thread. Once you realize this, you will never want to hurt somebody else for you are merely hurting yourself. Once you realize that you are part of the whole, your petty worries will disappear. You will have more confidence in yourself, more faith in your abilities and greater love for everything around you, be it a human being, animal or an inanimate object. In the ultimate analysis, everything is alive and a part of us.

        Man is a social animal and to carry out his responsibilities and to achieve his goal, he needs to have the support of various people at various levels including society, friends, relatives, nation etc.
        Behavior management aims at dealing with people successfully to get their full co-operation and support to achieve the predetermined goal.
        On detailed study, the researchers of behavioral science have revealed that behavior is not only a basic resource but a basic factor in today's environment for the accomplishment of any task. Here are some tips on how to improve your behavior and solve the biggest problem of getting along with and influencing people in social contacts.

You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you. People are interested in themselves - morning, noon and night. If we merely try to impress people and get people interested in us, we will never have many true, sincere friends. It is the individual who is not interested in his fellow men who has the greatest difficulties in life and provides the greatest injury to others. It is from among such individuals that all human failures sprint. Let's put ourselves out to do things for other people - things that require time, energy, unselfishness and thoughtfulness. Let's greet people with animation and enthusiasm.

        It is the simplest way to make a good first impression. Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says 'I like you'. An insincere grin does not fool anybody. We know it is mechanical and we resent it. A smile should come from within, a heart warming smile, a real smile.
        If you don't fell like smiling then first force yourself to smile. If you are alone, force yourself to hum a tune or sing. Act as if you were already happy, and that will tend to make you happy. action seems to follow feeling, but really action and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not.
        Everybody in the world is seeking happiness and there is one sure way to find it. That is by controlling your thoughts. Happiness depend on different conditions.
        Preserve a right mental attitude - The attitude of courage, frankness and good character. To think rightly is to create.
          Here is a list of the values of a smile -
(a)    It costs nothing, but creates much.
(b)    It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give.
(c)    It happens in a flash and that memory of it sometimes lasts forever.
(d)    None are so rich that they can get along without it, and none so poor but are richer for it's benefits.
(e)    It creates happiness in the home, fosters goodwill in a business, and is the countersign of friends.
(f)     It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad and nature's best attitude for               trouble.
(g)    Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen, for it is something that is no earthly good to anybody till it is given a away.
(h)    Nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none left to give.

Most people don't remember names for the simple reason that they don't take the time and energy necessary to concentrate and repeat and fix names indelibly in their minds. They make excuses for themselves saying they are too busy. One feels very comfortable when the other person calls him by his name. It shows that you are initially interested in the other person. One of the most simple and most important ways of gaining goodwill is by remembering names and making people feel important. Remember that a man's name is to him the sweetest and mot important sound in any language.

Encourage others to talk about themselves. Exclusive attention to the person who is speaking will flatter him no end. Even the most violent critic will frequently soften and be subdued in the presence of a patient, symphatetic listener who will be silent while the irate faultfinder gets everything out of his system. Many persons call a doctor when all they want is an audience.
The man who talks only to himself, thinks only to himself is hopelessly undedicated. So if you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be an attentive listener. To be interesting, be interested. Ask questions that the other man will enjoy answering. Encourage him to talk about him and his accomplishments. Remember that the man you are talking to is a hundred times more interested in himself and his wants and his problems than he is in you and your problems.

Royal road to a ma's heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most.

The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated. Do unto others as you would have others to unto you. You want the approval of those with whom you come in contact. You want recognition of your true worth. You want a feeling that you are important in your little world. You want to listen to cheap, insincere flattery but you do want sincere appreciation. You want your friends and associates to be hearty in their approbation and lavish in their praise.

        Proper emotional and mental hygiene consists of internal and external hygiene. Internal, emotional and mental hygiene simply means proper emotions and proper thoughts. Positive emotions and thoughts like happiness, kindness, joy, enthusiasm and others tend to have beneficial effects psychologically and physically.
        In many instances, negative emotion is one of the critical factor, in severe ailments. The problem caused by unregulated emotions is compounded by living in a stressful world.
        Harboring or explosively expressing negative feelings for a prolonged period may manifest as :
    1.    Glaucoma
    2.    Migraine headache
    3.    Acute sinusitis
    4.    Hyperthyroidism
    5.    Asthma
    6.    Heart Ailments
    7.    Diabetes
    8.    Gastric or Intestinal ulcer
    9.    High Cholesterol

    10. Injected Liver (negative emotion weakens the liver and the body, therapy making it susceptable to               injection).
    11. Constipation
    12. Twisted Intestine
    13. Damaged Kidneys
    14. Hypertension
    15. Rheumatoid arthritis
    16. Cancer and others
        External emotions and mental hygiene means proper company, since emotions and thoughts are transmissible. Negative emotions and thoughts are infectious.
        That is why, after talking with persons with psychological problems, one may feel depressed and physically exhausted. Prolonged interaction with this type of persons may manifest as physical ailment. That is why many priests, nuns, social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists, after closely interacting for many years with psychologically affected and physically sick.
        Interacting with people who are optimistic, enthusiastic, radiant, and very healthy is very psychologically beneficial. In the presence of an advanced spiritual teacher, one can easily be emotionally, mentally and spiritually uplifted if one is sufficiently receptive and has the proper reverence. The students actually bathe in the powerful aura of the spiritual teachers.
        Some severe ailments are emotional in origin. Some persons have so much deep seated hurt or resentment towards certain person. They have to consciously exert an effort to forgive those who may have actually or imaginary hurt him or her. The cat of forgiving is therapeutic and is necessary for good health. Being habitual critical, irritable or angry is also very unhygienic and bad for the health in the long run. The remedy is of course to learn to appreciate the good qualities of others, to practice kindness and to learn to be calm.
        Cruelty to fellow beings and to animals is one of the major causes of severe painful ailments. what you sow is what you reap. If one repeatedly causes pain to others, then one will harvest intense pain in the form of severe ailment. If one repeatedly deprives others of physical sustenance (income, money or food), then one will also be deprived of physical sustenance. This may manifest as severe lung ailments wherein one keeps gasping for life (sustenance). The affected body will gradually wilt. This will also have a adverse financial effects. Avoid cruelty and show kindness to others; this is the major key to good health, to happiness and to avoiding severe painful ailments.
        In this so called modern developed world, there is too much stress or tension. In other words, there is a lot of :
    1.    Work pressure
    2.    Hurriedness
    3.    Worry and anxiety
    4.    Irritation, anger and hurt feelings.
    5.    Excessive aggressiveness
    6.    Bullying
    7.    Harassment

        This may manifest as gastric ulcer, migraine, malfunctioning liver, damaged kidneys, general weakness, depression and others.
        The mental and emotional energies produced by thinking and feeling have consciousness. What you experience, think and feel produce psychic beings which are called thought forms or thought entities. In other words, your thoughts and feeling are real and can affect or influence you and others people. When a person has a traumatic psychic energies produced are lodged in several energy centres which may in the long run manifest as stress or phobia. A phobia os nothing more than traumatic fear energy or 'fear' thought entities.
        A traumatic experience may produce repeated thoughts of fear, poor self esteem, insecurity, futility and indifference. In the long run, these negative thinking and feeling will produce negative thought entities with strong inhibiting effect, manifesting as severe depression.
        Meditation would definitely help a lot in coping with stressful conditions. Prolonged stress is a psychological ailment which will adversely affect the physical body. To more developed countries, stress is a national epidemic.
        The life style of a person is an important health factor. Undesirable habits and excessiveness are to be avoided, like -
        1.    Smoking
        2.    Alcoholism
        3.    Drug abuse
        4.    Excessive work
        5.    Excessive fun
                    The predominating thoughts and feelings of a pregnant woman also affect the unborn baby. They affect the character of the unborn baby. In order to produce better babies, it is very important for pregnant women to see and hear things that are beautiful, inspiring and strong. Their feelings and thoughts should be harmonious and progressive or positive. Anger, pessimism, hopelessness, injurious words, negative feelings and thoughts should be avoided.

        Here are some points for the prevention of psychological ailments:
    1.    Learn to relax emotionally. This done is done by doing slow deep abdominal breathing daily. Especially if there is a lot of work or a family tension.
    2.    Avoid negative emotions and thoughts. Think, feel and act positively.
    3.    Avoid intense anger and hatred. These intense negative emotions will overwhelm the person making the person temporarily 'insane' or 'possessed' and do very bad things.
    4.    Avoid drugs and alcohol because it has negative physical and psychological effects.
    5.    Meditation should be done on a regular basis. It cleanses and transmutes lower emotions. It has a very soothing andpeaceful effect.
    6.    Do regular exercises. it releases pent up negative emotions. One should let go of oneself when doing the physical exercises.
7.    If you have a problem children, avoid negative feelings thoughts and words about them. since this would only make them worse. Avoid fighting in front of your children since the anger and hatred will contaminate them and make thempsychologically imbalanced.

        There are many points of view concerning diseases. Originally, man was disease - free by nature. Disease is seen as a punishment for man's sin. This is one theory. Western allopathic medicine believes that disease is caused by emotional stress or psychological problems.
        Modern kirlian photography has shown that disease appears first in the energy or vital body before it manifests itself in the physical body. There is an intimate relation between the two. By treating the vital body, we can often effect a cure in the physical body.
        Pranic healing is based on the overall structure of the human body. Man's whole physical body is actually composed of two parts- the visible physical body and the invisible energy body called the 'bioplasmic body'. The visible physical body is that part of the human body is that invisible luminous energy body which interpenetrates the visible physical body and extends beyond it by four and five inches.
        Pranic healing is an ancient science and art of healing utilizes prana or Ki or vital energy to heals the whole physical body. It involves the manipulation of Ki and bioplasmic matter of the patient's body.

Prana or Ki is that vital energy or life force which keeps the body alive and healthy. The healer projects prana or vital energy or 'breath of life' to the patient; thereby healing the patient It is through this process that this process that this so called 'miraculous healing' is accomplished.
There are three major sources of prana. Solar Prana, Air Prana and Ground Prana. Solar Prana is prana from sunlight. It invigorates the whole body and promotes good health. Prolonged exposure to sunlight would harm the physical body since it is quiet potent. Prana contained in the air is called Air Prana. Prana is absorbed by the lungs through breathing and is also absorbed directly by the energy of the bioplasmic body. These energy centres are called chakras. Deep slow rhythmic breathing also helps in obtaining air prana. Prana contained in the ground is called ground prana. This is absorbed through the sole of the feet. This is done automatically and consciously by walking barefooted. It increases one's vitality, capacity to do more work and ability to think more clearly. Here is a list of some of the things that pranic healing can do:-

1. It can help parents bring down the temperature of their children suffering from high fever in just a few hours and heal itin a day or two in most cases.

   2.    It can relieve headaches, gas pains, toothaches and muscle pains almost immediately.
    3.    Cough and cold can usually be cured in a day or two. Loose bowel movement can be healed in a few hours.
    4.    Major illness such as eye, liver, kidney and heart problems can be relieved in a few sessions in a few sessions and healed in a few months.

It increases the rate of healing by three times or more than the normal rate of healing.

    The bioplasmic body interpenetrates the visible physical body and extends beyond it by four and five inches. The invisible luminous energy field which follows the contour of the visible physical body is called the inner aura. when the bioplasmic body becomes sick, it may be caused partially by general or localized depletion of prana in the bioplasmic body. This is called pranic depletion.
    Sickness may also be caused by prolonged excess prana in localized areas. This is called pranic congestion.
    From the surface of the physical body are bioplasmic rays. Beyond the health aura is another luminous energy field called the outer aura. It interprenates the inner and health auras and usually extends about one meter away from the visible physical body.
    Through clairvoyant observation, a disease can be seen in the bioplasmic body even before it manifests itself on the visible physical body. It is a lot easier and faster to heal the disease when it is still in the bioplasmic body and has not yet manifested on the visible physical body.
    The mind can intentionally or unintentionally influence the pattern of the bioplasmic body.

chakras or whirling energy centers are very important parts of the bioplasmic body. Just as the visible physical body has vital or minor organs the bioplasmic body has major, minor or mini chokers. Major chokers are whirling energy centers which are three to four inches in diameter. They control and energize the major and vital organs of the visible physical body. Major chokers and mini chokers control and energize the less important parts of the visible physical body.

        Uncontrolled and suppressed emotions and feelings such as anger, worry, prolonged irritation and frustration have undesirable potent effects on the bioplasmic body. Negative emotions cause disturbances in the body so that the whole physical body becomes sick.
        There are two basic principles in pranic healing- the cleansing and energizing of the patients bioplasmic body with prana or vital energy that healing is accomplished.
        These basic principles of cleansing and energizing are also clearly manifested in the body. The body is cleansed by exhaling used up carbon dioxide and is energized by inhaling fresh air of oxygen. Cleansing is necessary in order to facilitate the absorption of prana or Ki by the affected part. In simple cases, cleansing the bioplasmic body or the affected part is usually sufficient to heal the patient. In other cases, the diseased bioplasmic part is so depleted that the healer has to facilitate the healing process by energizing with prana.
        There are two very important chakras located at the centre of each palm. These are the left hand chakra and the right hand chakra. although they are minor chakras, they have very important functions in pranic healing. It is through the hand chakras that prana is absorbed from he surroundings and the projected to the patient. There is a mini chakra in each finger. These chakras rae also capable of absorbing and projecting prana. These finger chakras project more intense and strength prana than the hand chakras.

Sensitizing the Hands.

Scanning.

Sweeping.

Increasing the receptivity of the patient.

Energizing with prana.

Stabilizing the projected prana.

Releasing the projected pranic energy.

Place your hands about three inches apart facing each other. Concentrate on feeling the centres of your palms. It is by this that hand chakras are activated, thereby sensitizing the hands. A tingling sensation, heat, pressure or rhythmic pubation will be felt between the palms.

Scanning.
While scanning with your hands, always concentrate at the centres of your palms. When you feel a tingling sensation, you will know that it is the outer aura of your subject. Scan the subject from head to foot and front to back for the inner aura. In scanning your patient, you will notice that there are hollows or protrusions in some areas of the patients inner aura. When the area protrudes, it means there is pranic congestion. The physical condition of the patient should be carefully observed and the patient should be thoroughly questioned or interviewed before jumping to any conclusion.

Sweeping.

Sweeping is generally a cleansing technique. It can also be used for energizing and distributing excess prana. When cleansing is done on whole bioplasmic body, it is called general sweeping. Cleansing is done on specific parts of the body, it is called localized sweeping.

The hands are used in sweeping. There are two positions- cupped hand position and spread finger position. These two hand position are used alternately. The cupped hand positions more effective in removing the bioplasmic matter while the spread finger position is more effective in combing and disentangling the health rays.
Sweeping removes congested and diseased bioplasmic matter. It strengthens the health rays. It increases one's resistance against infection. It seals holes in the outer aura thus preventing prana to leak out. Many simple illness can be healed by just sweeping.

Increasing the receptivity of the patient.

Healing is a lot easier if the patient is relaxed and receptive. A relaxed patient will absorb more pranic energy. It is advisable to establish rapport with the patient to reduce resistance. Request the patient to assume the receptive pose during the treatment. Ask him to sit with palms upwards and bend his head slightly downward. Ask the patient to close his eyes. You can ask the patient to visualize his body and the affected part being filled with light and pranic energy, or that he is inhaling light and pranic energy into his body and the affected part. This will greatly facilitate the rate of assimilation of pranic energy.<

Energizing with prana.

Hand chakras technique. There are many ways of drawing in prana and projecting prana- one of the safest and easiest ways is through the hand chakras. Press the centre of your palms with your thumb for a few seconds to facilitate your concentration. Concentrate at the centre of your palm that will be used for drawing in pranic energy for about 14 minutes. Simultaneously concentrate at the centre of both palms. Many of you will feel some sort of energy or current after several minutes.

Stabilizing the projected prana.

The projected prana can be stabilized in two ways-(i) by finishing or energizing with prana and(ii) by projecting blue prana. This is done by visualizing and projecting light blue on the treated part, or by mentally instructing the projected prana to remain or stabilize.<

Releasing the projected pranic energy.

A healer will notice that it is relatively easier to be detached when healing strangers than when healing one's own children. This attachment is seen as an energy cord (cord of light) linking the healer to the patient. Because of this cord, there is a tendency that the projected prana may return back to the healers. To avoid this, the healer should visualize himself cutting the said 'cord of light' with a pair of 'imaginary' scissors or knife. Also it is better not to think bout the patient immediately after the treatment because the etheric link might be re-established.
A healer should not heal when he is sick or suffering from general weakness. This is to avoid the transference of diseased bioplasmic matter or energy to the patient. A healer should not heal when he is feeling angry or irritated, because the projected pranic energy will be contaminated with anger and other negative emotions.
