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 physical body.  This energy body, or aura, is the mold or blueprint that surrounds and interpenetrates the physical body.  It is the energy body that absorbs life energy and distributes it throughout the physical body, to the muscles, organs, glands, etc.  The reason Pranic Healing® works on the energy body is that physical ailments first appear as energetic disruptions in the aura before manifesting as problems in the physical body.  This pervasive energy that surrounds, interpenetrates and sustains the physical body, also affects our emotions, our ability to handle stress, relationships and even finances.
