Methodology :
Experimental and Control groups of age groups 8 to 18 years and 20 years to 35 years on target groups of students and professionals respectively were formed and the advanced pranic healing techniques of using colours, balancing of chakras were applied on the experimental group for a period of 6 months(regular observation and monitoring of the progress were recorded). The participants above 18 years were made to do Twin Heart Meditation regularly.

Mind Management
The role of the subconscious mind is directly linked to the chakras (energy centres) and plays a vital role in physical and mental growth (or personality development) and Mind Management.

The brain is demarkated into 4 areas-the left and right hemispheres and the upper and lower brain. 90% of us use only the left brain thereby creating an imbalance in our personality. The right brain is for creativity and intuition and the left is the analytical. The upper part of brain is controlled and energized by the pineal gland while the lower part of the brain by pituitary gland which in turn are controlled and energized by Crown, Forehead Chakras and Ajna Chakra respectively. These chakras were cleansed and energized with Electric Violet (EV) to inculcate intuition, improved imagination, higher perception, higher grasping power, improved decision making and problem solving capabilities and increased understanding. Both the control and experimental groups were made to practice to slow down their brain by going to Alpha state but the experimental group was additionally made to cleanse and energise the Crown, Forehead and Ajna Chakras. The improved performance of the experimental grades and sales performance in case of corporate executives and improved will power to achieve budgeted targets in managerial functions.

Positive Thinking
Positive thinking is the key to personality growth and psychosomatic well-being, but unfortunately 80% to 85% loose their self esteem as they become teenagers(especially due to family, social and educational environment), and it plagues them till their old age not allowing them to grow and blossom. The author subjected the experimental group to pranic psychotherapy.

Infact, one participant was a tennis player who after treatment went on a winning streak due to improved self-confidence.

The experimental group were additionally treated with Electric Violent on their solar plexuses, heart chakras, crown, forehead and ajna chakras. There was marked difference between the performance of the two groups in their self esteem and even changed their attitude from "I CAN'T DO to I CAN DO".

Memory and Concentration
In addition to the traditional scientific techniques of improving memory and concentration (like picturing, pegging mind mapping, etc.), the Electric Violet of pranic healing was used on the ajna, forhead, crown chakras and back head minor chakras on the experimental group, resulting in a remarkable improvement in concentration and memory of the participants. This added with mind mapping, enabled the students to improve their grade phenomenally.

Time Management, Improved Goal Setting and Decision Making :
Improved time effectiveness, goal setting and decision making is a revolution in the change of habits, essential for success. Following are the habits which were transformed in the experimental group by treating the chakras mentioned below for improved time effectiveness.

Time Robbers
- lack of Planning
- lack of Priorities
- Procastination
- Ineffective communication lack of transparency
- Lack of delegation & directing others
- Poor decision making
- Not setting goals/lack of ambition
- Getting absorbed in details and trivia.

Stress Management
Stress & Tension-both physical and emotional/psychological is a major malady of modern life styles (home or at work). The participants were made to do Twin Heart Meditation. The following chakras were treated through Pranic Psychotherapy - front and back solar plexuses, back heart chakra, crown and ajna chakras, to cope with the stress.

Creativity
Creativity allows a person to come out with many alternatives to a problem or the situation. Creativity is linked to the right brain activity and imagination is the key to creativity.

The author in addition to several positive self affirmations treated the front and back solar plexuses, back heart chakra, throat chakra, ajna, forhead, crown, back head minor chakra and sex chakra with electric violet prana resulting in an improvement in their professional creativity.

Sleep Managent
The quality of sleep is more important than the quantity of sleep. The key is to enter from the conscious state to the deep sleep state in shortest possible time. In order to get good sleep, the particiopants were taught the techniques to go into relaxation through slowing down brain by achieving alpha brain state and then visualize attaining sound sleep through imaging. The experimental group was also asked to inhibit solar plexuses & basic chakras with light whitish blue prana. The results were very interesting. Few participants who would take sleeping pills could leave the habit of drugging themselves.

Communication Skills, Public Speaking and Body Language :
Three are integrally linked. Through psychotherapy, the body language improves, resulting in effective communication. Public speaking capabilities are highly essential for successful performance in one's profession. This improves self confidence, helps overcome fear or phobia, improves memory and concentration. The main chakras which were treated are the Throat Chakra along with Solar plexus, heart chakra, crown, forehead, and Ajna. This led to improved self-confidence and effective inter personal communication.

Interpersonal Relationships and Transactional Analysis :
Main reason for failure of interpersonal relationship is ineffective communication, lack of transparency, selfish and self centered behaviour. The participants were explained the concepts of Transaction Analysis with emphasis to child, adult, and parent ego states. The causes of failure of transactions were mainly due to childhood experiences. The main chakras treated were solar plexuses and heart chakra through pranic psychotherapy. Johri Window Concept was explained to the participants and by treating solar plexuses and heart chakras, the facade and black spot areas were reduced.

I KNOW I DON'T KNOW You Know ARENA (public self) Interactions are easy BLACK SPOT We irritate others without our knowledge You Don't Know FACADE afore fear of selfishness or social reason. We are not transparent DARK AREA

The dark area was thus minimised resulting in an increase of ARENA and improved interpersonal relations. It has wide applications in families, business, organizations, social groups etc. The participants showed openness after treating the heart, solar plexuses, crown, forehead and ajna chakras, as their Arena, which has direct bearing on intra and interpersonal communication, had increased.
