Pranic lifestyle is a way of life. It uses energetic aromatherapy and energized crystals blessed with healing, prosperity, and love. Over the next eight weeks we'll go deep — into the history, the chemistry, the energetic properties, and the daily practice.

A lineage rooted in a teacher

Pranic Lifestyle is substantially the work of my spiritual teacher, Master Choa Kok Sui. He taught pranic healing and pranic crystal healing for decades, traveling the world, and I had the privilege of working with him for many years — carrying his luggage, sitting in his workshops, watching him bless crystals in front of a room of fifty people and hand them back to me to clean, only to have him quietly do something to the crystal and hand it back saying, "It is clean."

Before he passed, we had even been talking about writing a book together on aromatherapy. He had the idea for an entire pranic product line. The book never happened, but the work continued. Pranic Lifestyle is the work, manifested.

What Pranic Lifestyle actually is

Pranic lifestyle is a compilation of reproducible information about essential oils and crystals for aroma therapists, pranic healers, pranic crystal healers, doctors, and scientists. The tricky thing is that most people don't spend enough time clearing their energy — so they let anger and stress accumulate in their cells, chakras, and organs.

The goal is simple: purify your own aura, your chakras, your home, and your workspace of negative emotions, and raise your energetic vibration. These stagnant energies impact you. They block you in your relationships, your finances, and your career. Learn to clear your past emotional baggage and your daily stress, and you will save yourself time and energy and open up channels of abundance.

My hope is to contribute new information to stimulate the use of this precious gift — to help raise the vibratory frequency of humanity and our lovely mother earth.

The special energizing essential oils and crystals are the secret power to our pranic lifestyle. — Rocky Patel

The history is older than you think

The use of energized oils and crystals is not new. The Bible speaks of oils. The Egyptians used oils. Religious organizations have always used oil — touching people on the head with it, and people fall down and have what they call miracles. The Pope wears a ring. The mafia — they got rings of power. Lord of the Rings wasn't fantasy. People have been infusing rings with power, with specific energies, for a very long time.

When you put them on, they put you in contact. Same with the oil. A point of contact.

The Oracle of Delphi burned bay laurel to see the future

Bay laurel activates the crown. The Oracles of Delphi burned bay laurel leaves to make themselves clairvoyant. The ancient Greeks had their own traditions of wearing these leaves around their heads. In our work, we use the same plant — but as an essential oil — for the same purpose: opening the higher centers.

The Pope's ring and the Aaron breastplate

Moses had a staff. The staff was not just decoration — it had gemstones on it, and inside it, a place for oil. The same is true of the breastplate of Aaron in the Hebrew tradition: about twelve gemstones, each with a specific purpose, each carrying a particular energy. These were charmed, and they created an energetic shield. The same principle applies to a consecrated diamond or a piece of rose quartz you wear today.

What we'll cover in eight weeks

• The history of the oils — for healing, for love, for spirituality, and more, including the chemical and the energetic properties of each.
• Bonus: oil profiles — what bay laurel does, what frankincense activates, what sandalwood opens, what grapefruit looks like energetically.
• Aromatherapy on the major and minor energy centers — how to apply oils to specific chakras, on the minor chakras like the ears, and along the meridian system.
• Aromatherapy for romance, relationships, and healing the energetic chords between you and loved ones.
• Beauty and skincare — what you put on your skin matters. Most skin damage is from the water, the sun, and the chemicals in conventional cream, oil, shampoo, and conditioner. A shower filter helps. So does wearing only natural oils and butters on your skin — without all the other crap, because that is really poisonous. Laundry detergent counts too.
• How to read the color of energy in essential oils — and how to tell what is actually inside a bottle of grapefruit oil.
• Long-distance healing with aromatherapy — sprays and oils used remotely. Very powerful.
• Aromatherapy for prosperity and abundance — techniques that help disintegrate negative thought forms, purify your living space, your business, your website, your bank accounts, your advertisements. Cut the negative cords. Energize with love. Attract.
• Aromatherapy and crystals for emotional and physical ailments.
• Aromatherapy on the acupressure points.
• Diffusing essential oils — one of the most powerful and simple ways to use these, because it releases a cloud of both color energy and the healing chemistry.
• Aromatherapy for saunas — including how to purify a public sauna before you get in, and how to use eucalyptus on the hot rocks in a dry sauna.
• Foot soaps — a quick way to keep the feet clean, and fly high in the inner world as a side effect.
• Research on the pineal gland and frankincense (and sandalwood) — increased oxygen activity around the pineal gland, which is why frankincense is known as a powerful meditation oil. It is also a love oil and an aphrodisiac — it opens your gateway to the higher realms.
• Candles — gathering the flame, blessing the candle, and putting oil into the candle so the energy radiates out into the room. Very purifying.
• Meditation techniques — what to do before, during, and after.
• Making your own soap — liquid or bar, with essential oils. When you clean your skin with it, it purifies energetically too. A great way to cut negative chords.
• Pregnancy, childbirth, babies, and children — including the two c-sections I witnessed firsthand, and the techniques we used to try to dilate the cervix with colored energy. The operating room is super-contaminated, especially when it's connected to the emergency room. Purification matters there too.
• Salt baths, salt scrubs, sugar scrubs, and coffee scrubs.

This is the pranic lifestyle. It's using these energy techniques all day long, throughout your day.

The practice of purifying

Stagnant energies impact you. They can block you in your relationships, your finances, and your career. In fact, if you learn how to quickly clear your past emotional baggage and your daily stress, you will save time and energy and open channels of abundance in your life.

My hope is to contribute new information to stimulate the use of this precious gift of God to the entire earth and to help raise the vibratory frequency of humanity. Lovely mother earth. The special energizing essential oils and crystals are the secret power to our pranic lifestyle.

The way Master Choa Kok Sui worked with oils

He would take the oil and bless it. Clean it first, then energize it. That magnifies the effect. It is the same for the rings. Concentrate your intention, your prayer, your divine healing energy into the object, and it becomes a tool. The crystal or the ring is just an instrument. The energy is what you put into it.

You can feel the difference

You can spray an oil on a crystal, hold it in your receiving hand (your non-dominant hand — most people, the left), and feel the energy shift. The crystal will feel warmer, denser, more alive. Use rose oil on a pink crystal and you can feel pink energy flow through it. Hold it up and project — you will see, with practice, the colored light coming through.

And you should feel lighter. Great energies will dissolve from your chakras and your living and workspace. One of these crystals costs the price of a short vacation, but the cost of clearing a hospital room of dirty energy — that's hard to put a number on.

Clearing your crystal is a practice, not a one-time event

Crystals become contaminated. Their energy is greatly reduced. That can cause them to break. The contamination can be released, but you have to clean the crystal. You can feel the energy of it with your hand — sweep it, scan it. A real pranic healer is sensitive to this.

A simple test: rub your hands together, then pull them apart slowly. You should feel a magnetic tug, like a rubber band, like an accordion. That is your energetic field. Now move your hands around the crystal. You can feel its aura, its size, its quality. Crystals are natural modulators, transmitters, and containers of universal life force.

The lavender-and-salt scrub

For the actual cleaning, you can use a salt mixture: 30 drops of lavender oil with 1 pound of salt. Mix in a bowl with a lid. Keep it near your sink. You can use it on your hands, in the shower, on the floor of your shower, and to clean your crystals and your rings.

Master Choa Kok Sui recommended putting a few drops of lavender oil on your hands when doing healing or energy work. It helps to validate the energy you are projecting, pulls more contamination off the client, and protects your own hands. It is the same principle as the crystal: the oil is the instrument. The energy is what you put into it.

Building your own colored energy spray

You can build your own colored energy spray with a base of water (or vodka, for longer shelf life) and a few essential oils. The crystals and oils then become attuned to the color of the energy you are working with.

The sound of stillness, the Ohm, and the Twin Hearts

You can cleanse a room with sound. Put a crystal in front of a speaker playing the Ohm — or the Twin Hearts meditation, or the Pranic Crystal Healing audio by Master Choa Kok Sui. The energy of the sound radiates out, miles if the intention is right. The energy of a city — especially an old one — is very thick. The Ohm dissolves it. As soon as you turn it off, the energy can return, so play it consistently.

You don't need to play it all the time. You can also play the Twin Hearts during the day; it activates the heart and the crown and roots you to the earth at the same time. Don't replace one with the other, but combine them. The Ohm cleanses. The Twin Hearts activates. Both are needed.

On diamonds, rings, and the wrong finger

Diamonds have a hardening effect on the aura of the person wearing them. Great for protection, but they can also make the person's willpower and energy harder. So a man gives a woman a diamond when they get married — but if the woman was hard-headed before, or very willful, the diamond just makes the energy harder. You can soften this by giving an emerald with the diamond, or a pink stone, or amethyst with the diamond. Don't time the diamond by itself. Pair it.

And if you wear a diamond on the wrong finger in the wrong shape, it can drill a hole in the aura. The same is true of inherited jewelry. Hand-me-downs from many generations can carry all kinds of energy and thought forms in them. Best not to even put them on. Start with brand new gems, and only wear them after they have been consecrated.

Garnet for prosperity, blue stones for opening

Red garnet activates the basic chakra, which helps root you to the mother earth. It helps you absorb prosperity energy. When your basic is bigger, you attract more money to you. Centering — that is, wearing the garnet on your dominant hand, your giving hand — helps expel obstacles. Great for business people, executives, and anyone wanting more prosperity.

A lot of people on the spiritual path want to fly around in the inner world with unicorns. That is fine if you are already a millionaire. If you want to make more money, you need to be rooted deep in the earth. Garnet is for that. Citrine, amethyst — whatever you want. You can get a custom garnet ring or pendant from us. Diamonds with the gemstone magnify the effect exponentially and harden the aura. Diamonds are also very powerful for psychic protection — they protect you from negative thought forms.

Blue gemstones and the forehead

Blue gemstones — blue topaz, blue sapphire, tanzanite — have an activating effect on the forehead. When you wear one on your receiving hand, the word gets big. Don't wear one while driving. At nighttime, for stress relief after a long day, you can wear one and it relaxes you, helps reduce the size of the solar plexus. A lot of times the solar plexus is so big that the thought-form is to keep going, but when you relax, the solar plexus becomes small, you become relaxed, and you can see into the inner world.

Shielding your body — physical, mental, emotional

There is a Kansas City Chiefs football example I like. Say my team scores a touchdown. Eighty thousand people in Arrowhead Stadium, the loudest in the world, screaming. The ground actually shakes — you can see it on the Richter scale. That is a ripple of excitement. The mass aura of a city.

Now say the team loses. The whole city feels sad. People wake up the next Monday morning still upset. They don't know why. They think they are happy, but they feel depressed. They are picking up on the mass aura.

The mass aura of a city is real. You can shield your emotional body against it.

You can shield your physical body — for dirty energy of places, and for anyone wanting to cause you physical harm. You can shield your mental body — your own thoughts inside your head. Sometimes you have thoughts that are not your own. People with big auras can pick up other people's thought forms. Shielding helps. And you can shield your emotional body — the emotions of your neighbors, of the whole city.

The six-pointed star and the Star of David

Master Choa Kok Sui recommends a six-pointed star, the Star of David, for shielding. It balances the upper and lower chakras. It is great for psychic self-defense. The Star of David is two triangles. It makes your chakras balanced. It is worn between the here and the here — right in the middle of the chest.

The homework before week two

Before we meet again, here is what to do. Every day.

The books to get this week

From the Pranic Lifestyle store or Amazon:

• Miracles of Pranic Healing — the basics. Start here.
• Pranic Crystal Healing — the properties of crystals, how to cleanse and program them, the gold rod, the 24-karat solid-gold rock crystal. Highly recommended.
• Practical Psychic Self-Defense — energy shields for home, office, and the four bodies (physical, etheric, mental, emotional).
• Advanced Pranic Healing — the advanced practical guide.
• Twin Hearts meditation audio — with the Ohm and the guided meditations.

One more thing

When I was cleaning that crystal in the bathroom in California, after Master Choa Kok Sui had used it on fifty people, I thought I was done. He came in and said, "Do you think this is clean?" I said, "No." He grabbed the crystal, projected a powerful energy current through it, and handed it back to me. "It is clean," he said. That was the lesson. Your intention, your prayer, your breath — that is the work. The crystal is just a tool. The salt is just salt. The oil is just oil, until you bless it. Then it becomes what you need it to be.

Take the salt baths every day. Do your meditations every day. If you already have the Twin Hearts, do it daily. Some people play it while they are falling asleep. Master Choa Kok Sui was once asked if you can do the Twin Hearts lying in bed, and he said yes — if the choice is doing it or not doing it, just do it.

We'll see you on week two.

You, me, our lovely mother earth. The pranic lifestyle.
