Prana is the life force of the Universe. The nature around us is a vast storehouse of prana, vibrating at different frequencies, seen as different colours each having distinct properties. These are helpful in keeping our mental, physical, emotional and financial balance. We absorb prana from everything we come in contact with. We draw prana from the ground we stand on, the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we bathe in, practically everything.

Prana vibrating at different frequencies is seen as different colours, each having its own property. Prana of different frequencies are needed from time to time to keep our bodies in balance.

The Truth Behind Yagyas

Soak in Sun's Healing Power

A very strong source of prana is  Surya (sun), it is easily accessible to us and at the basic level is seen as white prana. This white contains all other healing colours and it needs either the power of the healer to channelize this prana, or the use of artefacts such as water and coloured glass to segregate one colour from the other.

This prana has a great significance in Spiritual Healing as it has many therapeutic properties.

Green Surya Prana

Take a green glass bottle full of fresh water and keep it in the sun for one to two hours so that it absorbs the Surya Prana. The colour of the bottle determines the frequency of prana passing through it. Thus, the prana filtering through a green bottle will have the properties of green colour, which is purifying and disinfecting. Drink this water on a regular basis to have a cleansing and detoxifying effect on the body. It helps improve digestion, purify blood, clean the kidneys and give a radiant, glowing and healthy skin.

Blue Surya Prana

This can be absorbed using a blue glass bottle. Fill the bottle with fresh water and keep in the sun for one to two hours daily. The water absorbs the Surya Prana filtering through the blue colour of the bottle. Blue has the properties of disinfecting and disinflaming, cooling, contracting and soothing. Water energized with blue Surya Prana helps reduce inflammation and has a calming and cooling effect. Drinking this water proves to be very beneficial for people suffering from acidity, high blood pressure and people with an aggressive nature and sleeplessness.

Orange Prana

Take an orange glass bottle filled with fresh water and keep it in the sun for one to two hours so that it absorbs Surya Prana. If an orange bottle is not available, you can wrap a plain bottle in orange cellophane. The bottle’s colour determines the frequency of prana passing through it. Thus, the prana filtering through an orange bottle will have the properties of orange colour. Drinking this water on a regular basis would help cure severe constipation as it dissipates and expels heavy and blocked prana, which is also the property of orange colour.

Red Prana

Similarly, water in a red-coloured bottle absorbs the properties of red colour – the most important being that of strength – after being kept in the sun. Keep a red or a transparent bottle, covered in red cellophane paper, filled with water in the sunlight for one to two hours. Drinking this water, which has absorbed Surya Prana, acts as a health tonic and is extremely effective for those suffering from fatigue, tiredness and weakness. It has a rejuvenating effect and brings back lost strength.

Easiest way to get Sun’s prana is to do Samyam [a technical term for the integrated, simultaneous practice of the final three internal steps of classical Ashtanga yoga] on Surya.

Healing Prana – Sun skilled Silver

Every dhatu vibrates at a specific prana, our ancestors used this prana through utensils made of specific dhatu to induce therapeutic properties in their food.

Earlier people used to eat food in silver and copper utensils. This was not in order to show off their royalty, but due to the therapeutic value and property of these metals. Depending on the frequency at which each dhatu vibrates, it has different properties and these are useful in curing different kinds of ailments.

Silver has been used as an ingredient in many Ayurvedic medicines because of its therapeutic qualities.

Take a pure silver glass or jug full of fresh water and keep it in the sun for 1 to 2 hours, so that it absorbs the Surya Prana. The dhatu (in this case silver glass) determines the frequency of prana passing through it. Thus, the prana filtering through a silver glass will have the properties of the dhatu-silver - astringent, sour, sweet in taste, cool in potency, has a soothing effect, is strengthening, tasty and also reduces hyperactivity.

Drinking water regularly from such a utensil is also extremely effective in providing strength to the heart and the stomach, strengthening the veins and curing various diseases caused by excess vayu (vata) and pitta in the body.

Be careful that the silver you use is pure. Impure silver can do more harm than good, as the frequency is different. When certain metals are added to silver, it has the effect of blocking the kidneys and liver. So, you should be very careful of the constitution of silver utensils.

Caution: Pure silver utensil is heavy, smooth and whitish in shade and is purified in fire. In contrast to this, silver which is impure, is yellowish grey in colour, rough and light in weight. Be careful that the silver you use is pure. Impure silver can do more harm than good, as the frequency is different.

Healing Prana – Midas’ Touch of Sun

Gold is not just a piece of ornamentation; it has been used to cure disease by vaids [Sanskrit word that literally means "doctor," "physician," or "one who is learned/versed in science." Today, it is primarily used across India to refer to traditional practitioners of Ayurveda, the ancient indigenous Indian system of medicine. Bright yellow in colour, this smooth metal is titled as the ‘best dhatu’ in ancient texts for it is considered a part of Sun (Surya).

The Golden Test

It is important to ascertain the purity of gold before use, as an impure metal can do harm instead of good to the person.

• Pure gold when burnt in fire assumes the colour of the rising sun (reddish yellow). Impure gold will turn whitish;
• Pure gold leaves a saffron mark when rubbed on the stone Kasauti (generally used by goldsmiths to test its purity)

Take a pure gold utensil and fill it with fresh water. Keep it in the sun for one to two hours so that it absorbs the Surya Prana. The dhatu (in this case, gold container) determines the frequency of prana passing through it. Thus, the prana filtering through this utensil will have the properties of gold.

If you do not have a gold utensil, then take a glass bottle or glass jar filled with fresh water and keep it in the sun. Put a pure gold piece into the water so that it absorbs its properties.

Gold is an astringent, sweet in after taste, cool in potency, has a smoothing effect, is subtle (which gets absorbed in the body easily), strengthening, tasty, it kindles the digestive fire thereby improving digestion and also reduces hyperactivity, it is an aphrodisiac and a memory enhancer. It is very effective in curing diseases which are a cause of Tridosh (Vata, Pitta and Kapha). It is also very effective in strengthening the brain and heart and increasing the glow on the face.

Healing Prana – Copper Sunshine

Copper is a reddish, shiny metal. After silver, copper is the best conductor of electricity and heat. According to ancient texts, there are two kinds of copper: Nepali copper and Malechh copper. Nepali copper is pure, in that it is smooth (snigdha), soft (mridu), shiny red, non-breakable, heavy and pure (milavatrahit), has moisture and does not turn dark or blackish when it comes into contact with air. In contrast, Malechh copper is whitish in colour, breakable, impure (having other metals mixed in it) and gets affected in contact with water and air.

Therefore, for healing, Nepali copper should be used.

Take a pure copper (Nepali taamba) utensil, fill it with fresh water and keep it in the sun for one to two hours, giving it enough time to absorb Surya Prana. The prana filtering through a copper utensil will have the properties of copper. Copper is bitter, astringent and pungent in taste; cool in potency and improves blood circulation. It has the property of healing wounds, balancing all three doshas and is anti-toxic. It is also beneficial in various ailments as piles, skin diseases, swelling, respiratory disorders, acute pain, spleen and gynecological disorders, and stomach disorders. Drink this water and feel the difference, as what is discussed here is purely on experiential basis.

Copper utensils are easily available in the market but care must be taken to source it from a shop of repute, even if it means paying a little extra.

Healing Prana – Ironing out Disease

Iron is of three types — Munda, Teekshna and Kaant. Kaant finds mention in Rasayana Shastra and is widely used as an ingredient in indigenous medicine. Pure iron is used as an astringent, is bitter in taste, cool in potency and a mild aphrodisiac; it prolongs life, kindles digestive fire and is smooth. It helps improve haemoglobin count.

Fill an iron utensil with fresh water and keep it in the sun for one to two hours. The water absorbs the properties of iron, along with Surya Prana, and when taken on a regular basis, is effective in curing vata, pitta and kapha imbalances, diabetes, fissures, ama, piles, abdominal, spleen and liver disorders, anemia, weakness, intestinal worms, skin ailments and fever. It is very useful for people suffering from fatigue and weakness and is a fine strength builder.

Use only pure iron utensils, as an impure one results in ama, causing indigestion, swelling, diarrhea, lethargy, etc.

Healing Prana – Brass to Cure

Brass is a sub metal (updhatu), which is a mixture of two metals, namely copper and zinc. Brass is shiny yellow, smooth, soft and flexible. Pure brass is shiny, strong, flexible and non-breakable. In contrast, brass which is dull, reddish white, rough-yellow in colour ('khurdura peela'), blackish, breakable and light in weight is considered to be impure and inedible.

Fill a brass container with fresh water and keep it in the sun for one to two hours. The water absorbs the qualities of brass and Surya Prana and is very effective in purifying blood, curing intestinal worms, skin disease, anaemia, asthma, diabetes, imbalances of vata and fissures. It is pungent, dry, mildly hot and purifies semen. It also promotes semen production.

The simple technique is extremely effective in removing imbalances of the body but remember that the purity of the metal used is very important to this practice.

An impure metal can cause more 'ashanti' (turmoil) in the body, rather than 'shanti' (balance and harmony).
