His life

From Cebu to five continents

He was not born a healer. He became one through research, discipline and love for people, and then spent his life teaching others to do the same.

  1. 1952

    Born in Cebu

    Choa Kok Sui was born on 15 August 1952 in Cebu City, the Philippines, into a Chinese family with a long tradition in business. As a boy he read about the saints and asked his parents about them: the spiritual life drew him early.

  2. His working life

    Engineer and businessman

    He studied chemical engineering and built a successful business of his own. He never left the world to find the spirit; he brought the two together, and his students later called him a “scientist of the soul”.

  3. The research years

    Testing what really heals

    He was not born a healer, he said. With clairvoyant friends, Mang Nenet and Mang Mike, who could see the energy body and watch the results, he tested healing methods for years and kept only what worked. Guided by his teacher, Mahaguruji Mei Ling, this became Modern Pranic Healing: simple, safe, and able to be learned by anyone.

  4. His first book

    Miracles Through Pranic Healing

    He set the system down step by step: scan the energy body, cleanse it, energise it. The book was translated into many languages and is still where every student begins.

  5. 27 April 1987

    The Institute for Inner Studies

    He founded the Institute for Inner Studies in the Philippines to teach Pranic Healing, Arhatic Yoga and the inner teachings around the world. Its work reached more than 120 countries.

  6. 23 July 1990

    The World Pranic Healing Foundation

    He founded the World Pranic Healing Foundation to bring Pranic Healing to poorer parts of the world. In its first year it trained more than 3,000 people across the Philippines.

  7. The teaching years

    Across five continents

    He travelled ceaselessly, teaching people of every faith and walk of life, and gave the world Twin Hearts Meditation, Arhatic Yoga and course after course on healing, prosperity and the spiritual path. He wrote more than 20 books.

    He left his body

    His last message to his students was three lines long. His senior disciples and the GMCKS foundations carry the teachings on in more than 120 countries.

How he taught

A guru for modern times

People often wonder how a successful businessman and a scientist could also be an enlightened guru. That blend is exactly what made him a teacher for our times.

  • A scientist

    He tested every technique and kept only what worked. Pranic Healing rests on simple laws, such as: whatever affects the energy body affects the physical body, and the other way round.

  • A businessman

    His teaching is practical and worldly. It addresses the real needs of everyday life: health, relationships, work and money, as well as the spirit.

  • A teacher

    His manuals are made for ordinary people to follow step by step. Even by the end of a two-day course, students feel lighter, calmer and more alert.

  • A spiritual master

    He caused real shifts in the consciousness of his students, and taught them to grow through service, purification and meditation.
