Abstract– Adolescence, spanning ages 10 to 19, marks a critical developmental transition from childhood to adulthood, characterized by significant physical, emotional, cognitive, and psychological changes. In India, traditional cultural values are increasingly challenged by modern influences such as increased screen time, exposure to Western culture, nuclear family structures, and familial discord, which place additional strain on adolescents’ mental well-being. The World Health Organization (WHO) identifies adolescence as a high-risk period for the onset of undetected mental health disorders, with identity formation, peer pressure, and academic stress acting as key contributing factors. Prana, the fundamental life force, is inherent in all living beings. It is acquired through nature, food, and breath, and possesses intrinsic intelligence. However, pranic energy can become imbalanced due to poor diet, negative thoughts, pollution, and unhealthy habits. Techniques such as pranayama, pranic healing, and the Pranic Energisation Technique (PET)-an advanced yogic meditation practice-can help regulate and enhance prana. This study investigates the impact of PET on adolescent health. Sixty-five students aged 13-14 practiced PET four times a week for eight weeks, followed by twice weekly sessions for another eight weeks. Data were collected at baseline, at eight weeks, and after 16 weeks in a single-group pre-post design. The Bio-Well instrument, based on Kirlian Photography, was used to measure Personal Energetic Homeostasis by capturing the luminous energy field (Corona effect) through a highvoltage, low-current electrical field, magnified 1000 times. Statistical analysis using Coefficient of Variation, Friedman’s test, ANOVA, and LSD tests revealed significant stress reduction (p=0.000**) and increased energy levels (p=0.000**) at both the physical and chakra levels-except the Muladhara (root) chakra, which showed lesser improvement. Chakras shifted toward spinal alignment, enhancing pranic flow, which in turn revitalizes associated organs. Energy reserves were classified as low (<20%), optimal (20-60%), or high (>60%). Findings indicate that regular PET practice significantly reduces stress, enhances energy levels, and improves overall physical and psycho-emotional well-being in adolescents.
