Chapter VII: The Practice of Pranic Healing.2001
Vital Force, which is pouring from your finger ends, you will soon acquire
the power motion, and, after all, each healer has his own favorite motions,
which come to him instinctively. The downward motions of the hands, bring
a restful feeling to the patient, while an upward movement in front of the
face causes a feeling of wakefulness, and activity.
There are a number of variations in the several passes, etc., which we shall
now consider. The student is advised to acquaint himself with the various
movements, that he may not appear awkward when he practices upon some
person desiring relief. Familiarity with the movements imparts a confidence
that cannot be acquired otherwise, and besides, it leaves the mind of the
healer free from bother about details, and enables him to concentrate his
attention upon the work of healing.
Longitudinal Passes, are passes made in a downward direction along the
body, such as we have mentioned above. They are made along the part
affected, whether that part be the head, chest, limbs, or any special part
of the body. They are always made downward, and never upward. As we
have said above, the idea to be kept in the mind is that you are pouring
out a stream of Vital Force from the tips of your fingers. Your fingers
must be spread out (as above stated) and the palm must be underneath.
The movements must be down, with fingers extended, but the upward
movements must be made along the sides of the patient, with fingers closed,
and palms turned toward the sides of the patient. No special distance is to
be observed, this matter being left to your instinctive sense, which will soon
inform you as to the right distance, which will be found to be much nearer
in some cases than in others. When you feel that the distance is “just about
right,” then be satisfied that you have caught the proper distance at which
the best effects may be produced.
In a general way, however, it may be said that a slow movement, at a
distance of say three or four inches from the body, produces a sense of
comfort, rest, and relief. A rather more rapid movement made at the distance
of say one foot, seems to have a more stimulating effect, and causes a sense
