As society moves towards achieving perfection with flawless and radiant skin, efforts to achieve ‘glass’ skin have taken on new dimensions. With countless products and dermatological techniques available, concerns still exist. With the increasing preference for natural ways, alternative methods have gained much popularity as well. Among these innovative approaches, one that deserves consideration is that of the Pranic Facelift, an approach based on energy healing, which aims at rejuvenation of skin from within.Modern living conditions are quite unfriendly to the skin. Pollution, sun damage, inconsistent sleeping habits, and stress are all common causes of early aging, dryness, and inflammation. Moreover, internal conditions such as hormonal imbalances, poor eating habits, smoking, and consumption of alcohol worsen other conditions like acne and pigmentation.Although conventional forms of skincare have been found effective, they focus primarily on the symptoms of the problem rather than the root causes of the problem. Chemical treatments might assist in offering some sort of immediate solution, but the side effects include sensitivity issues. Moreover, invasive treatments work wonders for some people, though they may prove to be unaffordable for others and even pose health risks.The Pranic Facelift is grounded in Pranic Healing, a technique based on the notion that our physical body has an energy field called ‘aura’ that impacts both our physical well-being and our emotional states. The Pranic Facial procedure is a no-touch, no-medicine technique and does not include the use of creams and other skin products.This process is based on the elimination of dirty, stressful energy from the face and replacing it with fresh and vital energy. In addition, it stimulates blood flow to promote cell regeneration and increase skin glow. Another element of the procedure is balancing various energy centers, commonly called chakras, that help regulate hormonal activities and well-being.What makes Pranic Facelift unique is the holistic nature of the treatment. For example, stress is known to be one of the main causes of various skin conditions; however, in Pranic Facelift, special energy techniques are used to reduce the effects of stress, such as Pranic Psychotherapy and the practice of meditation, namely Twin Hearts Meditation.Likewise, issues such as acne are not treated just based on external symptoms but rather as something that results from the imbalance within the body. Certain protocols are employed to detoxify the body through cleansing and energizing organs such as the liver and blood system, which are typically associated with acne formation. Other benefits include accessibility. Individuals can learn simple techniques to take care of themselves, conduct distant healing sessions, or seek out professionals for therapies like the Pranic Facial, which is known as an energy tune-up for the skin.The growing popularity of such treatments as Pranic Facelift is reflective of the changing perspective on beauty, meaning that beauty cannot be externally gained but rather it is something that expresses the internal harmony of the body. Although it may not replace the conventional skin care procedures, it provides an alternative to achieving this beauty.The growing popularity of the Pranic Facelift is associated with the general trend toward the conception of beauty as an equal balance between internal and external well-being. Instead of only resorting to external measures, these kinds of treatments help people understand their way of living and what kind of energies can have negative effects on the condition of one’s skin. Even though this method is not a substitute for traditional skincare, it represents an alternative approach that is non-invasive and holistic at the same time.By Sumi Lazar, Pranic Healing Instructor, Healer, Trustee, World Pranic Healing, India
