Chapter VII: The Practice of Pranic Healing.2007<br />

Digital Kneading is performed by grasping the flesh between the finger<br />

and thumb and gently “rubbing” it against the other flesh, or bone.<br />

In cases where stimulation is thought advisable, one may give forms of<br />

Percussion treatment, of which several are here mentioned. In giving this<br />

treatment, the wrist should be kept flexible, and “loose,” a stiff wrist being<br />

guarded against. The percussion should be elastic and springy, avoiding all<br />

roughness or bruising.<br />

The first method of administering Percussion may be called the “pounding<br />

movement,” which consists in striking the body with the inside flat surface of<br />

the half-closed fist, the heel of the hand and the closed ends of the fingers<br />

coming in contact with the flesh.<br />

The second method of administering Percussion may be called the<br />

“slapping movement,” which consists of a chopping movement of the hand,<br />

which is held open with the fingers held together, the blow being made<br />

with the little finger side of the hand—the hand being likened to a butcher’s<br />

cleaver employed in chopping. The fingers are held loosely together, coming<br />

together in a vibratory movement when the blow strikes.<br />

The third method may be called the “slapping method,” in which the hand<br />

applies a “slapping” or “spanking” blow, the fingers being held rigid.<br />

The fourth method may be called the “clapping method,” in which the<br />

hand is held in a hollow shape, so as to give forth a hollow sound—the<br />

position being similar to that employed by some people in a theatre when<br />

they wish to make a loud hollow sound with their hands, in applauding. A<br />

little practice will perfect one in this movement.<br />

The fifth method, may be called the “tapping method,” and consists in<br />

holding the tips of the fingers of each hand together, and then tapping the<br />

body, using the hands alternately.<br />

A favorite method of administering Pranic or Vital Force treatments is what<br />

is known as the “Vibrational Treatment,” and consists of a series of vibrating<br />

movements of the healer’s hand. The fingers are usually employed in giving<br />

this treatment. The fingers are placed firmly over the part to be treated,
