Scientific Evidence: Pranic Psychotherapy Helps Treat Depression

Depression is a psychological illness that affects routine activities, characterized by despondency and sadness. This psychological disorder has affected a large part of the world’s population in recent years, requires psychiatric and/or psychological treatment and follow-up, and has different levels (mild, medium, and severe). Depression impairs quality of life and can even lead to psychosomatization with physical symptoms such as muscle pain.

Pranic Healing is a system of energy therapy using the prana or life energy as a great healing source for realigning and restoring energy centers (chakras), our body has major and minor chakras, the major ones controlling and energizing not only internal organs, but also psychological conditions*.

A study conducted by the World Pranic Healing Foundattion in India, published in the Australasian Psychuatry Journal in 2017, conducted an intervention protocol on 52 patients, allocated into 2 large groups: the MED+Pranic group where patients used the usual medication plus 20-minute pranic healing sessions; and the MED+imitation group where patients used the usual medication plus 20-minute sessions that imitated pranic healing gestures; both interventions were conducted once a week for 4 weeks.

The study was conducted with a double-blind protocol, meaning that neither the patients nor the researchers knew who was receiving pranic healing or imitation healing (without energy transfer), since the patients had to keep their eyes closed during the session and the healer performed the session from 1 meter away. To evaluate the degree of depression and its evolution, the HAM-17 questionnaire (evaluates the degree of depression) was used before and after 4 weeks of intervention. At the end of the study, the researchers categorized worsening patients as worsening and improving patients as evolving depression. In the group that received the medication and Pranic Healing sessions, all patients improved (100%), while in the group that received the medication and Pranic Healing imitation, 16 got better (69.2%) and 8 got worse (30.8%), showing that Pranic Healing through Pranic Psychotherapy promoted 30% of improvement in the patients.
