What Is PTSD?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after a person experiences or witnesses a traumatic event. These events can include but are not limited to, accidents, physical or sexual assault, natural disasters, combat experiences, or serious injuries.
This disorder can have a profound impact on an individual's life, affecting their thoughts, emotions, and overall well-being.
Symptoms of PTSD
PTSD develops as a result of the brain's natural response to a traumatic event. When a person experiences trauma, the brain's "fight or flight" response is activated, releasing stress hormones. In most cases, this response diminishes once the threat is gone. However, in people with PTSD, the stress response lingers, causing a range of emotional and physiological symptoms.
PTSD is like a gang of pirates who wants to stay forever in our mind. These unruly and unwelcome guests are pushing and shoving, triggering memories of what we have experienced. They feed on our fears. These pirates are constantly building new hiding places such as fear, shame, anger and guilt in our psyche forcing us to avoid doing things we used to love doing and meeting people. We try to battle them but it wears us down. Our fatigue turns to heart palpitation, chronic pain, depression, insomnia and nightmares.
Sometimes, these pirates takeover our minds and urge us to open the door to addictions and self-harm.
Before we can send these pirates packing and take back control, we need to understand what we are fighting against.
What really is PTSD?
Have you ever touched or visibly inspected stress? How about trying to measure it? We can use a scale to calculate our weight. There is a machine to measure almost everything about us. But till today, there is no machine to measure stress.
Since we can’t measure it, can we deny stress’s existence? We can’t because most of us feel it on a daily basis.
So, what exactly are we feeling?
What is this invisible power weighing us down?
Where does stress live in our body?
If we try to search for it in our visible physical body, we can never find stress’s habitat. We can only find the ramifications of chronic stress’s presence in our bodies e.g. high cortisol levels and significant reduction in the number of natural killer cells.
We need to expand our definition of who we really are to go beyond the visible physical body to discover stress’s true nature and its habitat.
According to the Pranic Healing system, every living entity has not one but two bodies - 1. visible physical body and 2. invisible body made of light.
The traditional medical system deals with the visible body. The Pranic healing system, just like acupuncture, tai chi and chi gong; deals with the invisible body or the energy body. In simplistic terms, this energy body consists of auras, chakras (energy centers) and meridians (energy pathways). This light or energy is called prana, chi, ki or ruah in different languages.
When our energy body and energy centers or chakras are filled with good energy and are balanced, we are healthy. But the presence of disease energy in the auras and chakras creates imbalances leading to both physical and psychological health issues.
Pranic Healing, a “no-touch” energy healing system, restores the health by manipulating and harmonizing pranic energy in auras and chakras to accelerate the body's own natural ability to heal itself to restore health and vitality. It has also been described as ‘acupuncture without needles’.
Pranic Healing has been found effective in healing stress, anxiety, depression (1), enhancing cognitive functioning (2), insomnia (3) and more. If you are new to Pranic Healing, please read ‘What is Pranic Healing’.
From a Pranic Healing perspective, any form of stress, including PTSD, is a form of disease energy that lives in the habitat of the energy body. As different chakras manage different organs and psychological functions, presence of diseased stress energy in these chakras have consequences. For example, stress energy in the Heart chakra can lead to heart palpitations. In the Basic chakra, it can lead to insomnia.
“According to the Pranic Healing system, the major chakras or energy centers not only control and energize the internal organs but also control and affect one’s psychological conditions. In other words, they are centers for certain psychological functions…When the person has had a traumatic experience, the traumatic psychic energies produced are lodged in several chakras or energy centers which may in long run manifest as stress and phobias (and PTSD). These traumatic energies have a certain degree of consciousness and are called traumatic thought entities. For example, (for PTSD), these entities usually get embedded in the Solar Plexus chakra, Crown chakra and Ajna Chakra.
Once the thought entities are partially or completely removed from the chakras by the Pranic Healing practitioner, the person will feel improvement.”
Why do we need Pranic Healing as a natural option to overcome PTSD?
Traditional approach to treating PTSD is a combination of therapies such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy and medication for symptoms such as antidepressants, sleep aids and medication to reduce anxiety and nightmares. However, due to significant individual differences and side effects, many patients cannot obtain satisfactory treatment responses.
It has been suggested that about 33% of people in the general population who have PTSD are resistant to treatment; the non-response rates for cognitive behavioral therapy may be as high as 50% and for selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors about 20–40%. It was found that in patients who received PTSD treatment in primary care settings, the course of the disorder was chronic, with a 38% likelihood of recovery and a 30% likelihood of recurrence (4).
In addition, PTSD is also associated with increased odds of gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, endocrine/metabolic, respiratory, neurologic conditions, cancer, sleep disorders, and anemia (5).
It is clear that better and different strategies are needed for healing PTSD. It is no surprise that in addition to the standard treatment, people have been exploring a more natural and holistic approach to healing PTSD - from adopting a pet, spending more time in nature, yoga, meditation, deep breathing exercises, art therapy and more. These approaches are designed to enhance the overall wellbeing. Simply using these approaches tends to bring a gradual shift.
A more targeted approach is needed to tackle PTSD directly in its habitat. Since PTSD thought-entities reside mostly in our chakras, in addition to the standard care, it is fitting to use an energy-based approach, such as Pranic Healing, to combat PTSD energies head on. In fact, Pranic Healing offers comprehensive techniques to flush out thought-entities of trauma, anxiety and even addictions.
Pranic Healing is used in combination with standard medical care for optimal benefit.
How does Pranic Healing provide natural PTSD relief?
Pranic healing technology offers a comprehensive complementary solution for PTSD. The healing strategy can be divided into 3 distinct components.
Pranic Emotional Healing: Advanced Pranic Healing techniques are utilized to flush out trauma energy from all major chakras and auras. As the chakras are healed, the mind becomes calm and restful.
Advanced Pranic Healing for physiological symptoms: Advanced Pranic healing protocols are used for symptoms such as insomnia, low immunity, respiratory and gastrointestinal issues that tend to be present in someone dealing with PTSD.
A recent study documents the case of healing insomnia using Pranic Healing (3).
In another study, 69.2% of depression patients’ condition improved with antidepressant medication and mock Pranic Healing while 100% of the depression patients’ condition improved with antidepressant medication and Pranic Healing for 4 weeks (1).
A study done on the wellbeing of incarcerated individuals showed remarkable improvement in physical and emotional well-being and insomnia after receiving Pranic Healing for just one week (6).
Meditation: Pranic Healing system teaches special guided meditations designed to heal chakras.
A pilot study done on one of the meditations shows a 300% increase in serotonin and melatonin, making it perfect for stress relief.
In a 2021 study, 96.9% of the participants reported doing Pranic Healing meditation was very useful for them to control their mental health status (7)
Another study showed 83.5% participants felt happy and enthusiastic after one month of meditation practice.
Also, research has shown both immediate and long-term improvement in cognitive functioning by doing the Pranic Healing meditation (2).
PTSD case study
At The Joy of Pranic Healing, we can share the case of a naval engineer suffering from PTSD. He had 3 tours of Afghanistan during the war. During his time there, he had witnessed extreme violence and was trained to be on alert for any noise. After returning home, he was experiencing PTSD where even faint noises would put him on high alert. He could not handle the sound of July 4th fireworks. He would duck under his desk. In addition, he was suffering from nightmares and had breathing issues and used an inhaler on a frequent basis.
Pranic Healing was performed on him for about 2 months. The person received several Pranic Healing sessions. The symptoms progressively improved with each session. By the end of the last session he felt well enough and didn't need to use an inhaler. He was inspired to learn Pranic Healing after that.

How to receive Pranic Healing help to heal PTSD.
Pranic Healing help can be availed in several formats. Here, we are describing a staged strategy that we recommend at The Joy of Pranic Healing.
Stage 1 - Seek professional help
For PTSD healing, we recommend seeking help from a certified Pranic Healer. An experienced Pranic Healing practitioner would design a highly targeted healing protocol tailored to the disease and the symptom profile of the person that needs healing. Healings are performed using this healing protocol over a period of time till the person starts to feel better or is considered in remission by a medical professional.
Stage 2 - Receive guided self-care
As the healing sessions progress and the recipient starts to feel better, the Pranic Healing practitioner can also develop a custom plan to do potent meditation and breathing exercises specially designed to flush out trauma and anxiety energies from auras and chakras that the healing recipient can do on her own on a daily basis to promote overall well-being.
By combining one-on-one healing sessions from a certified Pranic Healer with daily practice of self-care, most people are able to feel better at an even faster rate.
Stage 3 - I can heal myself
Once the healing recipient’s symptoms are in remission, our recommendation for the healing recipient is to learn Pranic Healing. Pranic Healing is easy to learn and practice. It takes only 16 hours to learn the basics in Level 1 Pranic Healing training.
These training sessions provide a toolset of easy-to-practice yet powerful energetic tools to do regular self-healing. Anytime the symptoms of PTSD start to creep in, the person can heal their chakras by using their palms for a fast relief. Learning Pranic Healing is the best gift you can give to yourself.
Practicing the self-care techniques combined with self-healing regularly makes the energy body strong, building an immunity against future PTSD flare ups and psychological intrusions.
Benefits of using Pranic Healing as a natural healing solution for PTSD
As a complementary medicine, receiving Pranic Healing care has many benefits.
Safe: Pranic Healing is a no-touch energy healing modality. Pranic Healing does not interfere with regular treatment whether it is psychotherapy or pharmaceutical approach. It also does not require the recipient to take any herbs or supplements. It does not have any side effects.
Convenient: Pranic Healing does not require any dietary or other significant lifestyle changes. All changes such as sleeping better or more socializing happen naturally as the person starts to feel better.
Comfortable: The person can receive healing sessions from the comfort of their home. Tele-Pranic Healing virtual sessions work as effectively as in-person. Once the person learns Pranic Healing, they can heal themselves using their palms anytime, anywhere. No special supplies are needed.
