6) What is the significance of wearing the mala?

The mala is a powerful device for you to tune in to my energy. Each mala has been personally energized by me and carries powerful vibrations. It is much more than an empty ritual. The mala is not there to display my picture! The moment you wear the mala, you will sense a definite and beautiful change inside yourself. You feel protected and tranquil. This is because the mala acts as a channel between you and me, it is a key that can make my energy available to you. This is especially important during healing, when you are continuously exposed to negative energies. But these are things that can't be explained rationally, they need to be experienced. So just slip on the mala and wait for a few minutes - and watch the questions disappear! 7) What is the difference between reiki, pranic healing etc. and Ananda healing? Reiki and pranic healing both use mental energy for healing Here, the healer has to imagine symbols or colours to facilitate healing. Hence, healing will be effective only to the extent that the healer is able to visualize and harness the energy. Also, there is a chance of exhausting the energy if meditation is not done regularly. It is a process of 'earning and spending'. These methods are also high-risk in the sense that if the healer does not follow the rules properly, or makes a mistake, the patient's karmas are likely be transferred to him/her. Moreover, to get to spirituality by activating mental energies is itself a self-defeating purpose, when the purpose and meaning of Enlightenment is the transcending of the mind. During Ananda healing, the healer simply falls in tune with the inexhaustible energy source of the Divine. Energy is not generated by you; you are simply a channel through which the Divine energy flows. Hence, here is no chance of an energy dip; rather, you are on a high after healing. And since you are not drawing the patient's energy to yourself, but simply dissolving it in the positive energy of the Divine, there is no chance of their karmas being passed on to you.
