Our Lineage
To understand Pranic Healing, it is helpful to understand the teacher who brought its modern expression to the world and the lineage that continues to inspire practitioners today.
Grand Master Choa Kok Sui
Grand Master Choa Kok Sui — known affectionately as GMCKS — was born in the Philippines in 1952. He was a chemical engineer and businessman by profession. He was also a lifelong spiritual practitioner who devoted himself to one central question: how can the ancient knowledge of energy healing be made available to every person, in every culture, in a form that is practical, safe, and immediately useful?
For more than 30 years, he devoted himself to researching this question with remarkable discipline, observation and refinement. He studied the healing traditions of China, India, Tibet and the Western esoteric schools. Working closely with gifted clairvoyants, he carefully compared and refined their observations of the human energy body over many years, gradually developing a practical and teachable system of healing.
He tested. He documented. He refined.
The result was Pranic Healing — not a new invention, but a systematisation of ancient knowledge that had existed across many traditions for thousands of years. GMCKS simply made it teachable. He made it available. He made it work for the ordinary person living an ordinary life.
As GMCKS himself said — Pranic Healing is like a recipe. If you follow the recipe correctly, you will get the result. It does not matter who you are, where you come from, or what you believe. The energy follows the same laws. The body responds the same way.
He went on to develop Arhatic Yoga — a comprehensive and safe system of accelerated spiritual development, synthesised from Raja Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Karma Yoga, and the inner teachings of various esoteric traditions. The word Arhat means one who is worthy — a soul that has achieved a high degree of spiritual development.
Today, Pranic Healing and Arhatic Yoga are practised by hundreds of thousands of people in over 100 countries. His books, courses, and meditations remain the living foundation of this tradition.
The Teachings of GMCKS
GMCKS authored numerous books, each one written with the same intention — to give the reader something they can actually use. His writing is clear, direct, and practical. He did not write to impress. He wrote to teach.
Among his most widely read works:
Miracles Through Pranic Healing — the foundational text. Introduces the energy body, the chakras, and the basic techniques of Pranic Healing. GMCKS wrote this book so that anyone — with no prior knowledge — could begin to understand and work with prana.
Advanced Pranic Healing — introduces colour prana, the specific frequencies of life force and their precise healing applications. For practitioners who wish to work at a deeper and more targeted level.
Pranic Psychotherapy — applies the techniques of Pranic Healing to emotional and psychological concerns. GMCKS understood that many of the challenges people face in life have an energetic component — and that working with that energy directly can produce results that other approaches cannot reach.
Achieving Oneness with the Higher Soul — perhaps the most spiritually significant of his works. Introduces the soul, the 12 chakras, and the direct path to experiencing your own Higher Soul. GMCKS described this book as a gift to humanity.
Om Mani Padme Hum — The Blue Pearl in the Golden Lotus — a deep and loving exploration of the Vajrayana Buddhist tradition, the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum, and the spiritual realities that underlie it. This book reflects GMCKS’s profound reverence for the Buddhist path and his deep personal connection to it.
The Existence of God is Self-Evident — a clear and grounded exploration of the nature of the divine, written for the sincere seeker who wants to understand — not just believe.
These books are the foundation of everything we teach. We encourage every student to read them.
Pranic Healing and the Vajrayana Tradition
Grand Master Choa Kok Sui expressed deep respect for the Vajrayana Buddhist tradition, and this reverence is reflected in his writings, particularly Om Mani Padme Hum – The Blue Pearl in the Golden Lotus.
Within the teachings of Pranic Healing, concepts such as prana, nadis and chakras are presented alongside similar ideas found in several spiritual traditions. Many readers recognise meaningful parallels with Tibetan Buddhist, Indian and other contemplative systems, while appreciating that each tradition has its own language, history and context.
For us, Ladakh provides a meaningful environment in which to practise, serve and deepen our understanding of the teachings we have received.
A Note on This Initiative
We are experienced Pranic Healing practitioners and certified Pranic Healing Trainers in the tradition of Grand Master Choa Kok Sui. We are not the founders of Pranic Healing, nor do we represent any global Pranic Healing organisation. We are practitioners—students of Grand Master Choa Kok Sui—seeking to share, through healing, practice and service, the teachings that have profoundly shaped our own lives.
Everything we do at Pranic Healing Ladakh begins with gratitude—for the teachings we have received, for the lineage that has preserved them, and for the opportunity to place them in the service of others.
The purpose of Arhatic Yoga is to produce intelligent, compassionate, good-willed people who are also powerful spiritual beings — able to serve humanity with love, wisdom, and effectiveness.
