At an early age, GrandMaster Choa became interested in spiritual topics and energy healing. He studied the works of the Rosicrucians, Theosophy, Astara, Huna, Kabbalah, and numerous similar systems. 

His formal training as a chemical engineer and his sense of practicality helped him formulate his step-by-step approach to healing that later became the Pranic Healing® system.

GrandMaster Choa Kok Sui was the founder of Modern Pranic Healing and Arhatic Yoga. He was born in Cebu, Philippines, and became a yogi while he was still in his early teens.

His relentless search for spiritual truths beyond the accepted realities, balanced with a degree in Chemical Engineering and with his business acumen, has led thousands worldwide and from all works of life to experience the beliefs of Modern Pranic Healing, Arhatic Yoga, and his other esotheric teachings and their practices.

He authored more than 20 books, some of which have been published in 37 languages and read in over 90 countries worldwide. He also taught over 20 different courses on Pranic Healing, Arhatic Yoga, and higher spiritual courses around the world.

He standardized these courses, which continue to be taught by licensed instructors in many countries. GrandMaster Choa Kok Sui also founded and funded several charitable foundations in several countries to provide other physical and legal needs in raising human consciousness. These charitable foundations continue his humanitarian missions to date.
