Pranic Healing

By Liza Burney

A no-touch system of energy healing

the energy. We do this using our hands, in a practice called “scanning.” We activate the energy anatomy of the palm and use this to feel the energy fields. You can do this too. Just sit with your hands palm up. Smile. Breathe deeply in and out, visualizing the air coming in and leaving through your palms. Next, place your hands in front of you, palms facing each other, about 12” apart. Continuing to breathe deeply, move your hands closer together and then further apart, very slowly. You many notice some sensation in your hands or your arms, like tingling, heat, pressure, or something else. That is you experiencing the energy!

One simple exercise is to scan your horse’s spine for energy blockages. Starting at the poll, with a flat hand an inch or two off the body, very slowly slide your hand down the neck (not touching) all the way to the tail. Along the way, you will notice places where the energy feels smooth and light and other areas where the energy feels thick or stuck. You are not imagining

this!! These thick areas are energy blockages and it would benefit your horse to have them cleared. These blockages might correspond to tight muscles, areas of hair discoloration or specific areas of subluxation.

This was the situation with one horse I worked with, whose symptoms were a very stiff gait in the hind. He had been getting standard veterinary care, chiropractic, acupuncture, heavy metal detox and various supplements, all to no avail. Upon examination, I noticed two things about his energy. First, the energy centers (chakras) from his head to his throat were all normal, but the chakras from his heart to his tail, including the minor chakras of his legs, were all out of balance and getting worse the further back they went. Also, two meridians that travel down his legs were out of balance.

Initially, this horse was very animated and enjoyed interacting with me in a friendly way. As I scanned his energy, I located the specific area below the withers at the base of the neck that was the primary issue. Once I started the clearing process, this horse shifted and became very internalized and quiet. You could see him withdraw into himself. His eyes went blank, his head dropped. I continued clearing. After a while, he began re-surfacing and displayed lots of appropriate releasing on the physical level. Yawning, shaking, releasing gas, that sort of thing.
