Grand Master Choa Kok Sui: The Founder of Modern Pranic Healing
A visionary who made energy healing accessible
By Ellviour, Pranic Healing practitioner · · 5 min read
Grand Master Choa Kok Sui (1952–2007) was a Filipino-Chinese spiritual teacher, author, engineer, businessman, and philanthropist, best known as the founder of Modern Pranic Healing and Arhatic Yoga. Through decades of research and practical application, he developed a systematic approach to energy healing that is now practised in more than 120 countries around the world.
His mission was simple yet profound: to make energy healing practical, understandable, and accessible to everyone.
A scientific approach to energy healing
Unlike many traditional healing methods that were passed down orally, Grand Master Choa Kok Sui approached energy healing with the mindset of a researcher.
He spent over 20 years studying various healing traditions, testing techniques, and refining methods through observation and experimentation. By documenting what consistently produced positive results, he transformed ancient energy healing principles into a structured system that could be learned and practised safely.
This systematic approach is one of the reasons Pranic Healing has gained recognition worldwide.
What is Pranic Healing?
Pranic Healing is a non-touch complementary energy healing system based on the principle that the body has the natural ability to heal itself. The practice focuses on working with the body's energy field and chakras by:
- Cleansing stagnant or congested energy
- Energizing depleted areas with fresh prana (life energy)
- Balancing the body's major energy centers
By improving the flow of energy, Pranic Healing aims to support overall physical, emotional, and mental well-being. It is intended to complement — not replace — appropriate medical care. Read the full guide to Pranic Healing →
The importance of the chakras
One of Grand Master Choa Kok Sui's significant contributions was his detailed explanation of the chakra system.
He described how the major chakras influence different aspects of our health and well-being, and emphasised that balanced chakras support vitality, emotional stability, mental clarity, and spiritual development.
Today, understanding the chakras has become an important part of many holistic wellness practices around the world.
Meditation on Twin Hearts
Among his most well-known teachings is the Meditation on Twin Hearts, a guided meditation designed to promote inner peace while blessing the Earth with loving-kindness. Practitioners often describe experiencing:
- Deep relaxation
- Emotional balance
- Mental clarity
- Greater inner peace
- A sense of connection and compassion
The meditation is practised by individuals and groups across the globe as part of their personal wellness and spiritual growth.
A legacy of service
Beyond teaching, Grand Master Choa Kok Sui established organisations dedicated to education, humanitarian work, and the advancement of Pranic Healing. His vision continues through certified instructors, healing centres, and volunteers who share these teachings worldwide.
His emphasis on compassion, ethical living, and service to humanity remains a guiding principle for many practitioners today.
