Pranic Healing Introductory Workshop In Oswego On Aug 29 With Chandan Parameswara

An introductory workshop on pranic healing, led by Chandan Parameswara, was held in Oswego, Illinois on August 29, 2012 — one of several community wellness events bringing the no-touch energy healing practice to Chicago's suburbs that year.

Pranic healing is a system developed by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui that works with prana — the life force said to surround and interpenetrate the physical body. Its two guiding principles are simple: the body's natural ability to heal itself, and the idea that healing can be accelerated by working with the body's energy field.

Practitioners describe the method as "no-touch": the healer scans the patient's energy field, cleanses congested or diseased energy, and replenishes it with fresh prana — often combined with simple breathing, meditation, and lifestyle practices. It has found a following among Indians in the US looking for a wellness tradition rooted in familiar concepts of prana and chakras.

Introductory sessions like the Oswego workshop typically cover the basics — what prana is, simple self-healing techniques, and guided meditation — so attendees can decide whether to pursue further training. A modest fee usually applies; interested readers were advised to register in advance as seating was limited.

As with any complementary practice, the sensible approach is to treat it as a complement to, not a replacement for, conventional medical care.
