A Weekend Of Spirituality And Healing
MASTER PRANIC HEALER HECTOR RAMOS IN DUBLIN.
By Persephone Kianka
A sneak peek into our Spring 2026 Issue coming out soon! Be the first to get a copy to your door :)
Pranic Healing is a powerful healing modality and spiritualschool that empowers people across the globe to harness prana, the ancient Sanskrit term for “life-force”, to accelerate personal healing. Master Hector Ramos, a renowned Master Pranic Healer, will be coming to Ireland later this month to share this wisdom.
TICKETS HERE! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Pranic Healing
Established by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui, Pranic Healing is a proven, non-touch energy healing method that transforms the body’s energy processes. According to Discover Pranic Healing, prana can be likened to Chi in acupuncture, as it “sustains life and enhances overall wellness”.
Pranic Healing is based on the fundamental principle that the body is naturally self-repairing with the innate ability to heal itself. By enhancing the life force in certain parts of the body, Pranic Healing supports the healing of a wide range of physical, mental, and emotional issues, such as anxiety and chronic pain.
Thanks to the Pranic Healing Centre in Dublin, led by licensed instructors David and Amanda Connell, people from all walks of life can learn the practical skills of Pranic Healing to support healing and transformation for themselves and their loved ones through courses and events held throughout Ireland. For those who wish to deepen their journey, the centre also hosts visiting senior teachers and Masters who offer the higher teachings and advanced spiritual courses within the Pranic Healing system.
Master Hector
Originally from the Philippines, Master Hector studied with Grand Master Choa Kok Sui, the founder of modern Pranic Healing and Arhatic Yoga, for twenty years. Since then, he has been spreading Pranic Healing and the higher teachings of Master Choa Kok Sui throughout the Philippines, India, Europe, Australia, parts of Asia, and the United States.
“Master Hector’s abilities as a teacher and a healer are like an ancient quality that he has, where he’s able to consolidate the wisdom from all the masters into a very cohesive message,” our publisher, Paul Congdon, shared.
It is important to note that the title of “Master” in the Pranic Healing school is highly honoured, given only to those who demonstrate a rare expertise in healing. There are only eight Master Pranic Healers worldwide, and Master Hector is one of them, now in charge of the Pranic Healing mission in Europe.
He is known for the warmth, ease, humour, mysticism, and high,pure standard of teaching he brings to his classes, which Paulcan attest to after meeting him:
“Pranic healing is one of my favourite healing modalities, and Master Hector is a man filled with peace, humility and love.”
Three Special Events
This month, which will mark his third visit to Ireland, Master Hector will deliver three spiritual events of different levels. Musing on his first impressions of the country in an interview, Hector recalled feeling the presence of many devas (the Sanskrit term for angelic beings) here.
“I thought because of that, it’s such a wonderful place to experience healing,” he shared.
His Archangels, Spiritual Helpers & Devas Workshop® on March 28th will offer a beautiful introduction to working with Archangels for inner guidance and protection. Incorporatingspiritual practices from the Pranic Healing system, this workshop, which is open to the general public, is designed to help people cultivate a stronger connection to higher spiritual energies.
From March 28th-29th, Achieving Oneness with the Higher Soul®, a transformative spiritual course, will take place. Open to the general public, it teaches powerful practices from the Pranic Healing system that “support emotional healing, spiritual growth, and a more purposeful life”.
Finally, on March 30th, all Pranic Healing Graduates will have the opportunity to join The Inner Teachings of Christianity Revealed®. Based on the Pranic Healing system, this profound course uncovers universal spiritual laws, the esoteric meaning behind the teachings of The Lord Jesus, as well as “practical methods to accelerate inner growth”.
All in all, this weekend promises to be a powerful experience of healing and profound spiritual teachings. In these uncertain times, these teachings offer practical tools to help individuals live a more purposeful and meaningful life.
Building Biology
Bring divinity indoors and inside
by Laura Canavan-Hayes
Our Winter 2025 Issue has hit the shelves! With the theme of Divinity, each page is filled with love, positivity, and inspiration. Head to a health shop near you to pick up your copy, or have a copy delivered to your door each season at positivelife.ie/subscribe <3
My Nana used to have some great, wise phrases, as Grandparents and elders often do. One of my favourites was ‘It never ceases to amaze me…’. When it comes to nature, it never ceases to amaze me how incredible Mother Earth and Father Sun are. Divinity is in everything on this beautiful planet, the wider universe and in every atom of infinite existence.
It strikes me that as the world has gone down a capitalistic, patriarchal route, we have become disconnected from divinity, which lies in every cell of each of us, our true source.
As Building Biologists, holistic scientists of homes, our purpose is to bring nature indoors in order to create a sanctuary of health, rest, and true vitality. We have 25 beautiful principles and over the next 25 weeks, we’ll be digging into these in a bit more detail in our fortnightly newsletter (scan the QR code below to get a free 33-page e-book).
Let’s delve into some of these 25 principles and how we implement them.
Principle #3 for is about placing our dwellings in well-planned communities that provide ample access to fresh air, sunshine and nature. Staying connected to nature when we are indoors, and designing our homes and buildings with this in mind from the beginning, ensures that we are bringing the bountiful healing powers of nature into our living spaces.
Principle #5 is about providing an abundance of well-balanced natural light and illumination while using colour in accordance with nature. I always associate light with the divine. For colours that are found in nature, we love using a Auro natural paint, a clay and lime-based paint, so natural as to be compostable.
Auro only uses natural earth pigments. My favourites are:
• The deep blue ultramarine pigment
• The dark green forest one
• Sunshine yellows
• Any of the gorgeous earthy ones
Why would we use anything other than a natural paint, when your standard industrial one contains a host of VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds), acrylics and a host of chemicals to prevent stains and accelerate drying?
Minimising harmful chemicals means that we breathe in beautiful, clean air. Please feel free to use BioWeaver10 to get 10% off the Auro range at Ecological Building Systems.
When I look at the darker reds and pinks in nature, they remind me of the rootedness of my menstrual cycle, tracking our cycle and connecting deeply with the spiritual essence of our bodies.
The BioWeaver Method integrates Building Biology with root cause, or functional medicine, health. Menstrual Cycle Awareness has enriched my life with a new found divinity. I wish, as the middle of five daughters, that I had been introduced to this work before my menarche, my first bleed. My hope is that, as communities, we integrate and honour the menstrual cycle.
This month we did a Menstrual Cycle Series where we shared a story for every day of my menstrual cycle to empower, educate and share the power of this work. Join us there if you want to be part of the conversation!
Until the next time and with love always, Laura x
