In prayer, we talk to God, our fear walks out. In meditation God talks to us, our faith walks in.
God’s Light, Love & Power keep us WHOLE.
- When we feel confused, we are enlightened.
- When we feel weakened, we are strengthened.
- When we feel dismayed, we are empowered.
- When we feel broken, we are re-connected.
- When we are depressed, we are enlivened.
- When we fall down, we are rejuvenated.
As we tread the lighted Path, we encounter challenges, adversities, intricacies & pains …
but with God, we realize there are no problems,
THERE are only LESSONS to LEARN.
Of Healing and Healers
I’m a student of pranic healing. I can’t say I’m a pranic healer since we were taught that we are but channels of healing by the Divine Source.
Aside from a constant reminder to follow simple instructions as we explore the unlimited universe of energies, we are also encouraged to be discerning. Not to be blind followers but have that penchant to explore and suspend belief until tested.
So far, I’m enthralled and that is not just because we learn that indeed healing is a gift accessible to anyone as the creation of the Divine Source (Yups! You too can, if you want to. There are courses offered at the Mindanao Pranic Healing Training Center right here in Davao City, starting with the basic course that teaches you straight away how to heal in just two days). The greater awe is in discovering how energies work through numerous books pranic healing founder Master Choa Kok Sui wrote. Master Choa Kok Sui is a Cebuano of Chinese descent, that’s something we Pinoys can be proud of.
Being the bookworm that I am, I’ve been lugging around his books and discovering the deep learnings embedded there in very simple prose and instructions.
Thus, while reading the Advance Pranic Healing manual, a very short entry on “rapid growth” caught my eye because it said, the technique can be used on plants.
As friends and colleagues know, I love plants and planting. But I have black thumbs. My plants are scraggly, barely alive. Rhoda of PTV had a field day laughing at the five leaves of my tanglad plant. I never give up though. I can grow basil and oregano, a feat all my green-thumbed friends scoff at as anyone can do that, they say. If I can hardly make a lemongrass grow, you can imagine the euphoria I get when my basil and oregano grow.
Learning about “rapid growth” applied to plants, I experimented on my barely surviving blue ternate vine and it worked! My vine now is profuse with leaves and has been blooming as well. It’s a celebration.
Except that, it seems that even the weeds on my front yard are just as profuse. I have to experiment some more and figure out how to exclude rapid growth of weeds.
As I wrote earlier, I am but a student who is enjoying miracles and I am so looking forward to higher learnings especially because among these higher learning is… pranic agriculture. There is hope for the black thumbed.

Meditation: An Effective Way to Beat Stress and Worries

Meditation is considered something religious for certain cultures. But that may not always be true. Meditating helps one clear the mind and de-stress, especially during these challenging times. No matter what religion we belong to.
Stress is a significant component of the immune system, more than we may think. In fact, de-stressing can greatly reduce the chances of contracting any illness.
Stress can mess with any part of our body. It can cause rashes, it can make us tired, and it can certainly lower our immune system. It promotes the release of the hormone cortisol, that’s why.
Cortisol is beneficial in small amounts; but it can wreak havoc when out of control.
Cortisol can cause acne breakouts and unsightly rashes.
Much deeper, cortisol actually weakens our immune system to the point that our body may not be able to protect against the virus.
This becomes evident when we really get stressed over an extended period of time that may lead to sickness.
Meditation is an incredible way to clear up the mind, alleviate stress, and may help prevent any illness.
Further, it allows us to take our mind off of the unpleasant events around us; and just being in a sacred place for a moment, we allow our body to relax.
Consequently, it helps reduce our stress level, lower our cortisol level, ultimately boosting our immune system.
Choose any type of meditation that works for you
Practices like yoga, Qigong, and Tai chi also involve meditation associated with movement, furthering the mind-body connection by adding movement to the practice.
There is also the use of guided imagery or guided meditation, in which we can visualize ourselves in a calm and relaxing state or mantra meditation where we choose a syllable, phrase, thought or word that we utter repeatedly, shutting off extraneous thoughts that are trying to invade our brain. Similarly, mindfulness meditation attempts to keep us in the here and now. Cleansing our mind of the negative thoughts.
Meditation on Twin Hearts
I personally practice Meditation on Twin Hearts (MTH). This meditation is a simple yet powerful technique; it incorporates four of the most common types of meditation: awareness, spiritual, focused, and mantra meditation.
MTH is an advanced guided meditation technique introduced by Master Choa Kok Sui, the founder of Modern Pranic Healing and Arhatic Yoga, which originated in the Philippines.
This meditation has been translated into over 20 languages. Practiced by hundreds of thousands in more than 150 countries, MTH is used by people of different religions (including Hindus, Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, Sikhs, and Jains) as well as other cultures and philosophies.
Meditation on Twin Hearts is a simple yet powerful way to de-stress ourselves. Through the guided meditation, we use loving and positive energies (by focusing on the Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi), to bless other people. In doing so, we purge ourselves of the stressful energy that weighs us down. What could be more de-stressing than that?
But don’t take my word for it. You’ve got to experience it to believe it.
Join the Meditation on Twin Hearts… There’s a nightly schedule at 7:30Pm Monday to Friday via Zoom or FB Live. With Self-healing session to relieve stress, worries, relationship and even financial problems.
Detox, does it really work?
Detox, does it really work?
How’s your 2021 so far? It’s already the last month of the first half of the year, are you ready for the second half of 2021?
Yes, it’s nice to recharge, review, re-start again and it’s also tempting to look for quick fixes and easy resolutions, right?
One such option is to do a detox plan, social media detox, teatox, juice detox, detox diet, detox yoga. But does it really work?

Accepting Your Gift Box
By Nica Masilang, Pranic Healer and Arhatic Yoga Practitioner
Nica Masilang is a very successful businesswoman, a loving & caring wife, a Pranic Healer and an Arhatic Yoga Practitioner. She shared her dream of having a happy life free of illness, conflict and money problems.
Nica said that in the pursuit of dreams, however, there is this mysterious force that brings disorder, disagreement and downturn which intimidates even the best dreamers like her. In November 2016, Nica and her husband, Macky, were afflicted by dengue. Macky fell ill when Nica was so engrossed in closing a deal and preparing for back to back events. Miraculously, in 5 days, Macky was up and about working and running his business. They were both back in their daily grind.
As they were on their way to a business meeting, Nica felt a striking pain in her head and she felt that her energy was lost. She requested to go back home because she felt she was going to lose consciousness anytime soon. She had been stuck in bed with dengue then. Macky patiently monitored her.
One night, Nica had a blurry dream of going to the bathroom. In her dream, she slipped and bumped her head on the floor and struggled to get up. When she woke up the next morning, she found herself on the bed with her head resting on a pillow and with a soft blanket over her. The right side of her head felt weird, but she didn’t feel pain anywhere else in her body. She thought that it was just a dream.
That morning, her fever was gone and her temperature was back to normal. Macky thought that Nica was already okay. They went to have a blood test to be sure. Macky was trying to cheer her up and took her to the movies. When Nica went to the toilet, she felt that the right side of her head was moist. She touched it and she saw that there was blood on her hands.
She went back to her seat and didn’t say anything to her husband, but Macky urgently asked her to leave the cinema. He happened to receive a call from the clinic that Nica’s platelet count was critically very low. They went straight to the hospital. Nica had to be confined because her blood platelet was so low that the bleeding on her head was not stopping.
The dengue rash also started to appear from her feet going up to her face. It was so itchy that she could not sleep. A series of tests were done on her. They put wires on her head. She was crying of self-pity and she could see that her husband looked very tired. Is this the kind of happy life that she dreamed of? Free of illness? Certainly not.
Nica always believed that we all have a gift box inside of us where we place core memories that we use as anchors of hope. But we need to cover our physical eyes and ears to see what’s inside the gift box. In Nica’s gift box, she remembers her parents going through some hardships in life until they eventually separated. That memory triggered a deep desire inside her that in her future marriage, she will hold on and not let go amidst disorderly times. That memory of the past is what she needed in time of disorder.
Nica accepted the gift box from her past to help her discern the present. Nica said she had a happy life back then, despite the illness because she has a husband who painstakingly took care of her and had been patient with her throughout the ordeal.
In April 2017, Macky all of a sudden felt so cold under the hot summer sun. He would feel this way while inside their home, and would ask to close the aircon and electric fan despite wearing 3 layers of clothing plus a jacket. He became jittery and asked to be rushed to the hospital. He had been having rapid heart palpitations yet all the test results were normal.
They sought several conventional and alternative doctors. Later on, they found a medical doctor who trained in acupuncture in China. Macky was told that he was having an adrenal fatigue or anxiety attacks that caused his chi or energy to be unbalanced. Macky supplemented his acupuncture treatments with Chinese herbal tea medicine. This went on for months.
In October 2017, Macky found #PranicHealing. They both attended the H.O.M.E. Session and Macky found instant relief. He was so impressed that he urged Nica to take the Basic Pranic Healing so that she could heal him. Nica did not say yes right away because she was exhausted with all that they were doing. This caused a disagreement between them. Is this the kind of happy life that she dreamed of? Free of conflict?
She again took a peek at her gift box and was surprised to see the memory of how happy she was to have found and have married her very own life coach, her husband Macky. In the past, Macky guided Nica in many decisions that brought her out of her comfort zone and showed her that she can thrive in her courage zone. The memory of Macky’s guidance was what she needed during times of disagreement.
Nica accepted the gift box from her past to help her discern the present. She said that she had a happy life despite the disagreement because she has a husband who looked after her own interest even if she doesn’t know it yet. Macky and Nica reached a compromise. Macky should take the #BasicPranicHealing course instead. He applied the teachings right away and he sampled them on Nica. Macky cleansed her aura.
The week after the healing, prosperity came chasing after her. Macky slowly encouraged her to also take the Basic Pranic Healing course. Today, they take the higher courses together. One course that she found beneficial in her work life is Pranic Psychic Self-Defense. She used to have severe headache to the point that she wanted to cry because of stress after a grueling day of work. She no longer experiences this after applying the techniques of Pranic Psychic Self-Defense.
This course prevented her from being dramatic, emotional, irritable and critical of the people around her especially after a busy work day. In April 2014, Nica and her then boyfriend signed a deal for an investment property while in the middle of planning their wedding. It was their first venture together. It was an old property that they renovated and it was doing good until the rainy season came.
The property leaked every time it rained. They had to shell out more money to repair the problem. This all happened while they were having their wedding. Their finances took a downturn. Is this the kind of life that she dreamed of? Free of money problems? Two memories from her gift box flashed back at her. Memories of when her parents’ business closed down & they were left with huge debt and when her job security as an I.T. professional was threatened during the global recession in 2008. Those memories triggered a desire in her to change the way she looks at money.
Master Faith says “Do you choose to grow old to keep working for money, or strive to reach a goal of letting money work for you? It’s your choice to do something more important, ore real, more permanent and more for the Soul and not just for the body.”Nica truly understood prosperity when she took Kriyashakti, a financial course on materialization of thought forms. We may be earning a big amount of money, but if we constantly worry about not having enough, this lowers our prosperity. This results in money being drained month after month leading to no savings. In Kriyashakti we learn how to keep the prosperity energy continuously flowing. Nica said she has a happy life despite the downturn because she has opportunities to learn to manage prosperity through good times and bad times.
According to Master Choa Kok Sui, “Life is a series of attachment and de-attachment, a series of holding and releasing, of connecting and disconnecting.” Nica said we all have a gift box from childhood and we put things in it as we grow up. It can hold anything from happy, exciting, romantic to sad, angry, frustrating memories. These memories become gifts once we learn when to become attached and when to become detached, when to hold and when to release, when to connect and when to disconnect.
She shared that whenever there is a mysterious force messing with our heads, let’s cover our eyes and our ears, be accepting of our gift box and discern. Does listening to that actually help us in pursuing our dreams? Is there benefit in being open to what others are saying? Do we really need to say things that do not help us? By accepting our gift box, the things that happen to us, good or bad, we build resilience to overcome challenges to successfully achieve our life dreams.
