Dear Iqbal,

 

Namaste.

 

Thank you for your email.

 

" Pranic healing is not meant to replace orthodox

mendicine, rather to compliment it. If symptoms

persist or if the ailment is severe, please consult

immediately a medical doctor and a certified pranic

healer. " Grand Master Choa Kok Sui

 

Medical Background:

 

To understand disk prolapse, it is first necessary to

understand a few other terms. To begin with, vertebrae

are bones that form an opening in which the spinal

cord passes. These bones are stacked one on top of

another.

 

Each individual bone that makes up the vertebrae is

called a vertebra. In between the vertebrae are flat,

cushiony disks (known as intervertebral disks) that

act as shock absorbers. Disk prolapse is a painful

condition of the spine in which an intervertebral disk

ruptures and part of its pulpy inside protrudes

(sticks out).

 

The main symptom of disk prolapse is pain, due to the

protruding disk pressing on a nerve. The pain can

sometimes be so disabling that it is difficult to

walk. Sometimes, the pain can occur in the leg. This

usually happens when the sciatic nerve is being

pressed on. The sciatic nerve is a long nerve that

extends through the muscle of the thigh, leg, and

foot. When the sciatic nerve is pressed on, pain runs

down the back of the leg from the rear end to the

ankle. This condition is known as sciatica and it can

lead to weakness of the leg if the nerve continues to

be pressed on. Sciatica is sometimes accompanied by

numbness and tingling.

 

Pain, tingling, and weakness of the arm can occur if

the nerve that sends impulses to the arm is being

pressed on. Pain and stiffness of the neck can occur

if the disk prolapse is in the neck. The symptoms of

disk prolapse are often made worse when the person

sneezes, coughs, sits for long periods, twists the

back, or tries to lift heavy objects.

 

In rare cases, the disk presses on the spinal cord,

leading to paralysis (loss of movement and/or

sensation) of the legs. Pressure on the spinal cord

can also lead to a loss of the control of the ability

to pee and poop.

 

In 95% of cases, disk prolapse occurs in the lower

back. However, disk prolapse can occur anywhere in the

spine, such as the neck area.

 

Disk prolapse is sometimes caused by a sudden

stressful action upon the back. This is often caused

by lifting a heavy object or twisting the back

suddenly and/or violently. Disk prolapse usually

occurs slowly as a result of the disks wearing away

with age.

 

The age at which people are most likely to suffer from

disk prolapse is between 30 and 40. This is because

the disks start to lose their fluid content over age

30 and become less resistant to the effects of stress.

However, after age 40, extra tissue forms around the

disks, which gives them more support.

 

Disk prolapse is slightly more common in men than

women. There are various possible reasons for this.

One possibility is that disk prolapse is more common

in people who sit for long periods without a break.

Men may be more likely to do this than women.

 

Almost all doctors will try to treat disk prolapse

without surgery at first. Disk prolapse usually

responds well to bed rest, in which the person lies

flat on his/her back on a firm mattress. The hips,

ankles, and shoulders should be aligned to relieve

pressure on the spine. Bed rest is usually done for a

few weeks. A supportive collar, supportive garments,

and special exercises (as instructed by the doctor)

can be helpful. If these techniques fail, an operation

may be needed to relieve the pressure on the nerve.

Operations are most likely to be performed if muscle

function is impaired.

 

In most cases, the pain will go away when treatment

occurs without surgery. However, the pain tends to

come back.

 

Disk prolapse comes from the Greek word " diskos "

meaning " flat plate, " and the Latin word " prolapsus "

meaning " falling. " Put the words together and you have

" falling flat plate. "

 

 

Low back injuries are usually occur in the L5 S1

 

The spinal cord is the major bundle of nerves that

carry nerve impulses to and from the brain to the rest

of the body. The brain and the spinal cord constitute

the Central Nervous System. Motor and sensory nerves

outside the central nervous system constitute the

Peripheral Nervous System, and another diffuse system

of nerves that control involuntary functions such as

blood pressure and temperature regulation are the

Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems.

 

The spinal cord is surrounded by rings of bone called

vertebra. These bones constitute the spinal column

(back bones). In general, the higher in the spinal

column the injury occurs, the more dysfunction a

person will experience. The vertebra are named

according to their location. The eight vertebra in the

neck are called the Cervical Vertebra. The top

vertebra is called C-1, the next is C-2, etc. Cervical

SCIs usually cause loss of function in the arms and

legs, resulting in quadriplegia. The twelve vertebra

in the chest are called the Thoracic Vertebra. The

first thoracic vertebra, T-1, is the vertebra where

the top rib attaches. Injuries in the thoracic region

usually affect the chest and the legs and result in

paraplegia.

 

The vertebra in the lower back - between the thoracic

vertebra, where the ribs attach, and the pelvis (hip

bone), are the Lumbar Vertebra. The sacral vertebra

run from the pelvis to the end of the spinal column.

Injuries to the five Lumbar vertebra (L-1 thru L-5)

and similarly to the five Sacral Vertebra (S-1 thru

S-5) generally result in some loss of functioning in

the hips and legs.

Pranic Healing will work in the following manner:

 

1. cleanse and energize the circulatory system to

promote repair/regeneration/ strengthening of the

damaged tissues of the prolapsed disk and bones of the

spine.

 

2. cleanse and energize the nervouse system to

promote the proper repair/regeneration/stregthening

of the damaged tissues and relieve pain.

 

3. cleanse and energize the solar plexus, activate

the heart to promote a sense of well being, relieve

tension, promoting the proper regenaration of the

tissues.

 

Permanent relief is possible provided that treatment

is applied properly and the patient follows proper

medical complemented by pranic healing instructions.

 

Pranic Healing :

Kok Sui, pp. 234-235.

 

1. Invoke and scan before, during and after treatment.

 

2. General sweeping several times.

 

3. Localized thorough sweeping on the spine with WG

prana.

 

4. Localized thorough sweeping onthe front and back

solar plexus chakra and the liver.

 

5. Energize the solar plexus with LWG, LWB

thenordinary LWV. Apply more localized sweeping.

 

6. Localized sweeping on the front and back heart

chakra. Energize the back heart chakra with LWG

thenmore of ordinary LWV. Visualize the heart chakra

becoming bigger.

 

7. Localized sweeping on the affected lower portion

of the spine alternately with LWG and LWO. Thorough

cleansing is important.

 

8. Energize the affected part of the spine with LWG,

LWB then LWY. Thsi willhave a contracting and firming

effect on the affected fibrous ring.

 

9. Localized thorough sweeping and energizing on the

basic chakra with LWR. The emphasis is on steps 4, 7,

8, and 9.

 

10. Localized thorough sweeping and energizing on the

navel chakra and energize it with White.

 

11. Stabilize and release projected pranic energy.

 

Repeat treatment 2 to 3 times per day for the first

few days , especially on the affected part.

 

Recommend:

 

1. Unless the patient has other medical conditions

like preganancy, hypertension, severe heart ailment,

glaucoma, AIDS, or is below 16 or over 60 years old,

recommend daily proper practice of the Meditation on

Twin Hearts including the lightphysical exercises

before and after meditation.

 

2. Loose weight, if over weight.

 

3. Follow doctor's orders: e.g. bedrest, no lifting

of heavy objects, use a proper firm matress, etc.

 

4. Avoid stressful activities and environemnts,

negative thoughts, negative emotions, activities and

environments.

 

5. Engage in and enjoyable and productive hobby

and/or do service for others.

 

6. Daily proper healthy balanced diet.

 

7. Regular low impact physical exercise as

recommended by a professional physictherapist.

Disk Prolaps

 

Dear Marilette,

 

 

Please could you explain how Pranic treatment works in

following cases

:-

 

Report as per MRI Scan -

 

Posterior Disk Prolaps, Causing minimal thecan & Sac

compression.

Position is L5F1.

It is minimum disk compression.

 

Can I treat this patient only with Pranic protocol.

But how prolapsed

Disk gets corrected, because disk position is changed.

Is it pranic

treatment is for pain relief only ?. Can it cure

permanent relief ?

 

Most of the people has above curisity how pranic

energy can treat

bones.

 

Please pardon me if my question hurts anyone.

 

Thanks

 

 

Iqbal
