What is Pranic Healing
With a passion for empowering individuals, we’ve spent over a decade helping people from all walks of life overcome challenges, clarify their purpose, and achieve their dreams.
Understanding Life Energy
Pranic Healing is based on the fundamental principle that the body possesses an invisible bioenergy or vital energy called “prana” (Sanskrit for life force). This subtle energy is known by various names across cultures – “ki” in Japanese traditions, “chi” in Chinese acupuncture, and “Ruah” or the Breath of Life in the Old Testament. This life force keeps the body alive, maintains good health, and is all-pervasive throughout our environment.
Under normal circumstances, the body’s energy is naturally balanced and capable of healing itself – we’ve all experienced how a cold or viral infection can heal within a week or two without medication. However, sometimes our prana may become imbalanced, getting stuck in certain areas and causing excess or deficient energy in specific regions. This energetic imbalance manifests as various symptoms of illness and can result from environmental factors, emotional stress, aging, infections, or other influences.
How Pranic Healing Works
Pranic Healing accelerates the body’s natural healing ability by consciously increasing and directing life force energy where it’s needed most. This non-invasive system requires no physical contact, drugs, or gadgets, making it completely safe and accessible to everyone regardless of background, as it is entirely secular in nature.
The healing process can be applied for:
• Self-healing
• Healing others in person
• Distance healing, even for people thousands of miles away
A Complementary Approach
It’s important to understand that Pranic Healing is designed to work hand-in-hand with conventional medicine, not replace it. GMCKS consistently emphasized, as do all certified Pranic Healing instructors, that proper medical care and consultation with doctors remains essential when necessary. When combined with other forms of treatment, Pranic Healing can help patients achieve optimal health more quickly and thoroughly, supporting the holistic well-being of the individual.
For developing regions where millions lack access to proper medical care, Pranic Healing serves as an invaluable resource, providing hope and healing where conventional treatment may be limited or unavailable.
Grand Master Choa Kok Sui
Grand Master Choa Kok Sui (1952-2007) was a modern-day renaissance man and beloved spiritual guru to thousands across the globe. Acknowledged as one of the greatest masters of energy healing in our time, he was born on August 15, 1952, in Cebu, Philippines, and raised in a multi-faith environment that would later influence his inclusive, non-sectarian approach to spiritual teachings.
Despite being born into a wealthy family that owned several businesses, Master Choa chose to live the life of an ascetic, dedicating himself to a higher purpose. Though trained as a chemical engineer and a successful businessman with four children, he spent more than 30 years researching and studying literature on esoteric sciences, examining their various healing techniques with the methodical mind of a scientist.
The Revolutionary Vision
Master Choa’s mission became the defining purpose of his lifetime: to systematize the world of energy healing into a comprehensive, structured body of knowledge that was devoid of superstitious beliefs and ancient unsubstantiated rituals. He recognized that the applications of energy using Prana or Vital Life Force could be employed to transform physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual conditions.
Through his detailed study, refinement, validation, and testing of prana, GMCKS formulated new concepts and techniques that helped explain energy healing as a practical science. This revolutionary work led to the development of two major schools that would become his great contribution to mankind: Pranic Healing and Arhatic Yoga.
The Multi-Faceted Master
What made Master Choa unique was his ability to bridge multiple worlds with extraordinary skill:
1. The Scientist: His background in chemical engineering earned him the title “scientist of the soul” among students. This scientific orientation enabled him to carefully systematize techniques with pragmatic precision, detail-oriented clarity, and immense methodical rigor.
2. The Teacher: Teaching with great patience, humor, and love, Master Choa embodied the perfect balance of Divine light, love, and will. His ability to combine the astute mind of a businessman with the wisdom of an enlightened guru made him a unique spiritual teacher for the modern era.
3. The Author: Master Choa’s dynamic teaching style is reflected in his direct, uncluttered writing. His first book, “Miracles Through Pranic Healing,” released in 1987, has been translated into over 35 languages and is considered a standard work in energy sciences worldwide.
Living Legacy
Master Choa’s students continue to validate his teachings following his fundamental instruction: “Never follow a belief blindly.” They benefit by living healthier, happier, and more purposeful lives while working diligently to elevate their surroundings. His legacy lives on through the millions of practitioners worldwide who continue to experience the incredible benefits of Pranic Healing and Arhatic Yoga, proving that his vision of systematic, practical spiritual science continues to transform lives across the globe.

The Aashram
GMCKS Arhatic Yoga Ashram
The GMCKS Arhatic Yoga Ashram was Grand Master Choa Kok Sui’s cherished vision and dream—a sacred gift to his students and an integral part of his mission to spread the teachings of Pranic Healing and Arhatic Yoga. Though GMCKS has attained Mahasamadhi, the ashram affirms his presence, welcoming all who enter its gates and continuing his legacy of spiritual transformation.
A Sanctuary in Nature’s Embrace
Cradled in the lush expanse of the Sahyadri hills in Mulshi, this sixty-acre sanctuary provides a paradise insulated from the outside world. Situated in a deep gorge valley between the beautiful Mulshi lake and the magnificent natural formations of verdant valleys and hills, the ashram offers panoramic views of peaks and valleys that inspire the soul.
Undulating gracefully over a hill, the pristine surroundings create an environment where Arhatic Yogis from around the world are rejuvenated by an abundance of fresh prana. Our beloved teacher carefully selected this location for its special properties conducive to spiritual growth, ensuring that practitioners could learn and grow in an atmosphere of perfect natural harmony.
Sacred Spaces by Design
Master Choa Kok Sui personally designed every aspect of the ashram according to Pranic Feng Shui principles, ensuring maximum spiritual benefits for all who stay here. The meditation halls and living quarters were thoughtfully planned to create the perfect balance of comfort and spiritual conduciveness.
• The Spiritual Zone features two large meditation halls designed by GMCKS:
• The first hall serves for Arhatic Yoga practice, GMCKS courses, retreats, spiritual discourses, and training programs
• The second hall is exclusively reserved for Level 3 and higher levels of Arhatic Yoga practice
• Living Spaces include comfortable studio apartments, each featuring a spacious room with verandah, fully equipped kitchen, and bathroom with an attached open-air area for a private lawn or garden. These units combine the comforts of home with the spiritual atmosphere needed for intensive practice.
Complete Care and Comfort
The ashram provides a perfect synthesis of nature and nurturing. While energy bodies are nourished by abundant prana, delicious and wholesome food from the kitchens takes care of the physical form. The administration unit, strategically located at the entrance for security, houses reception areas, classrooms, a library, healing room, and storage facilities.
An exclusive Arhatic Yoga practice schedule, specially designed by Master Choa Kok Sui, ensures safe and balanced development for practitioners during their stay, making this not just a place of learning, but truly heaven on earth.
