About the Authors

Master Stephen Co has collaborated on many of his works with Eric B. Robins, MD, a board-certified urologist and surgeon, and writer John Merryman. Master Stephen Co is a personal student of Grandmaster Choa Kok Sui. He is a senior instructor at the World Pranic Healing Organization and has taught thousands of people throughout the United States, Mexico, and the Philippines. He is the author of Your Hands Can Heal You (Free Press, 2004).

Read more about Master Stephen Co as the skeptical engineer who became a master pranic healer:

“I understand skepticism quite clearly because I was a skeptic myself. In my eyes a skeptic is one who feels he or she does not have enough information to take that leap of faith. I would not have believed it or got involved with Pranic Healing either if my wife had not broken her hip. I worked on her three times a day and in 2 weeks she could walk. She was healed in a very short time, far lesser than what was predicted by doctors. Even when I was treating her I didn’t feel anything in my hands, luckily she did. So when skeptics share their disbelief I don’t take it personally. I tell them I completely agree and had it not been for my own personal experience, I too would have dismissed it.” — Master Stephen Co

“I first learned of the Tibetan breathing exercises two years ago, but it wasn’t until this football season (2010) that I started to make them a part of my daily routine. I believe that these exercises were one of the keys to my successful and healthy season. Prior to this season, I was seriously considering retiring from football, mainly because I had doubts about the ability of my body to endure the physical strain of another football season. Those doubts are gone as I feel I have found a way to keep my body feeling young and healthy. Now, instead of reaching for a bottle of pills, I practice the Nine Energizing Breaths. It is mind blowing that these simple exercises could help me feel so much better. ”

Master Co and Dr. Eric Robins have made knowledge of the Nine Energizing Breaths and other powerful practices accessible to the world in a very easy-to-learn manner.”
—Sonu Nigam, Indian singing star

“This is the second book on alternative/energy healing which this trio has produced. The highly effective merging of an Eastern Master with a doctor who practices traditional Western medicine is maximized by the expertise of a successful writer who specializes in writing about alternative healing. The heart of the book is The Nine Energizing Breaths. It is preceded by an overview of the philosophy of lifeforce energy (prana, chi, shekinah, etc.) and a outline of the energetic structure these authors believe operates within the physical body. It is followed by detailed instructions for advanced practice and a sophisticated list of suggestions for further study.

“Altogether it brings Eastern energy tradition into Western practice without sacrificing either the spirit or the intent of the original Eastern tradition. This will be an especially good resource for experienced Reiki practitioners. Consider displaying it with books on Reiki/energy healing. Be sure to let customers know that they can go directly to Chapter Six and begin practical work without a lot of intellectual preparation.”
—Anna Jedrziewski, New Age Retailer

“The Power of Prana is a super-fascinating look at powerful and down-to-earth principles to understand a simple ancient truth: we are made of energy and we can heal.”
—John Paul DeJoria, entrepreneur and philanthropist; owner of John Paul Mitchell Systems and Patron tequila
