शुभं करोति कल्याणं आरोग्यं धनसंपदा। शत्रुबुद्धिविनाशाय दीपज्योतिर्नमोऽस्तुते॥
Which Energy Healing Is Right for You?
Jun 15, 2026·7 min read·By Saurabh Jain, K.N. Rao Institute
Reiki and Pranic Healing both work with the human energy field but through different methods. Reiki is meditative and uses gentle hand positions. Pranic Healing is structured and uses no touch. Neither is superior. The right choice depends on what you respond to and what condition you are working on.
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing system developed by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. The word combines Rei (universal) and Ki (life force energy). A practitioner channels universal life force energy through their hands to support the recipient natural healing.
A session involves the client resting fully clothed while the practitioner places hands lightly on or above the body in a sequence of positions. The session is deeply relaxing and meditative.
Pranic Healing is a system developed by Choa Kok Sui that draws on ancient Indian, Chinese, and Tibetan energy traditions. Prana means life force in Sanskrit. The practitioner works with the aura and chakras using specific protocols to remove depleted energy and project fresh prana.
Unlike Reiki, Pranic Healing is entirely no-touch. The practitioner scans, sweeps, and energizes the energy field without physical contact.
The two modalities differ in origin, technique, and application
| Aspect | Reiki | Pranic Healing |
|---|---|---|
| Origin | Japan, Mikao Usui (1920s) | Philippines, Choa Kok Sui (1980s) |
| Touch | Hands-on or hands-near | No touch, energy field only |
| Technique | Intuitive, meditative | Structured protocols |
| Session | Fixed hand positions | Scanning, sweeping, energizing |
| Training | 3 to 4 degrees | Multiple level system |
| Tools | Intention and symbols | Prana and chakra protocols |
Yes, and many experienced energy healers do. At Soul Infinity, Saurabh Jain integrates both Reiki and Pranic Healing with Vedic astrology to address the energetic and karmic layers of a client situation simultaneously.
Astrology reveals the chart patterns that predispose a person to certain energy imbalances. Reiki and Pranic Healing provide practical tools to work directly with those imbalances. The combination is particularly powerful during challenging planetary periods such as Sade Sati, Rahu or Ketu Mahadasha, or difficult transit patterns.
Sessions are tailored individually. Saurabh Jain uses both Reiki and Pranic Healing alongside chart-based remedies to address the root karmic and energetic causes of imbalance.
