Chapter VI: The Principles of Pranic Healing.1995
Without this Vital Force, there could be no life—no motion—no action.
Some call it “nervous force,” but it is the one thing, no matter by what name
it may be called. It is this force that is sent forth from the nervous system
by an effort of the will, when we wish a muscle to move. And it is this force
which causes that muscle to move.
It is not necessary to go into a discussion of the real nature and essence of
this Vital Force, for that would carry us far into other phases of the subject.
Enough for our purpose is the fact that it really exists, and may be used in
the healing of disease. The electrician—even the most advanced men of that
science—know nothing of the real nature of Electricity, and yet they are able
to make wonderful use of it, and to understand its laws of operation. And
so it is with this matter of Vital Force, for to understand its real nature and
origin, one would need to know the real nature and origin of the Universe.
But, man may, and does, use this force every moment of his life, and may
turn it to account in other ways, such as the healing of the sick.
Man absorbs his supply of Vital Force from the food he eats; the water
he drinks; and largely from the air he breathes. He also has a mental source
of energy, whereby he draws to himself energy from the great reservoirs of
Energy, of the Universal Mind. In our books “Science of Breath” and “Hatha
Yoga,” we have gone into this matter at greater length, and all students of
Psychic Healing should acquaint themselves with those books, if they have
not done so already. This Vital Energy is stored up in the Brain, and great
nerve centres of the body, from which it is drawn to supply the constantly
arising wants of the system. It is distributed over the wires of the nervous
system, to all parts of the body. In fact, every nerve is constantly charged
with Vital Force, which is replenished when exhausted. Every nerve is a “live
wire,” through which the flow of Vital Force proceeds. And, more than this,
every cell in the body, no matter where it is located, or what work it is doing,
contains more or less Vital Energy, at all times.
A strong healthy person, is one who is charged with a goodly supply of
Vital Force, which travels to all parts of the body, refreshing, stimulating, and
