In a candid conversation with Gagandeep Kaur, Prana Living founder Himani Gupta discusses the relentless pursuit of spiritual excellence, the invisible load borne by women in transition, and the profound patience required to unlock the mysteries of the human energy system.
The modern narrative of aging is broken. Forget the outdated notion that life slows down after fifty; the 50s, 60s, and 70s are now a high-stakes arena for reclamation and raw self-discovery. But this transition is rarely graceful. It is a minefield of silent grief, abandoned identities, and physical decline that threatens to extinguish your ambition.
After leaving a high-powered career in corporate recruitment, Himani Gupta, Founder of Prana Living in Delhi NCR (Greater Noida), India, reinvented her life through the practice of Pranic Healing. In this exclusive interview, Gupta shares how disciplined energy work and mindful living can help people navigate change with greater clarity, resilience, and purpose.
Gagandeep Kaur: In your work with Prana Living, you support people on journeys of self-discovery. When entering mature life stages, women often face "quieter emotions" like the silent grief of an empty nest or losing a career identity. How can mindfulness and energy work help them process these silent transitions and find peace?
Himani Gupta: "According to the Law of Cycles, everything is subject to change. Nothing lasts forever." — MCKS.
This quote is by my teacher, Master Choa Kok Sui (MCKS), the modern founder of Pranic Healing and Arhatic Yoga. Through my work with Prana Living, I have observed that some of life's most significant transitions are often accompanied by grief, loneliness, uncertainty, or a loss of identity. Whether it is children leaving home, retirement, or a major life change, these emotions are part of the process. We must not suppress them but learn to regulate our emotions. Energy practices such as Pranic Healing help cleanse emotional stress, release energetic blockages, and restore inner balance. They create space for healing, clarity, and self-discovery.
The transitions we undergo in life are an invitation to embrace change and explore possibilities that are available to us. When we learn to do that with awareness and grace, we often uncover new passions, a deeper purpose, and a stronger connection with ourselves. Sometimes, what feels like a loss is actually the beginning of a beautiful new chapter. This is exactly what I have experienced, and so I am sharing my learnings with others.
Gagandeep Kaur: You transitioned from running a successful corporate recruitment agency to embracing Pranic Healing during the pandemic. For our readers in their 50s, 60s, and 70s who want to embark on their own "second acts," how did this shift teach you to approach major life changes with grace, mindfulness, and the belief that it is never too late to reinvent yourself?
Himani Gupta: My transition from running a successful recruitment agency to becoming a Pranic Healer and Trainer was not something I had planned. Like many people, the pandemic gave me an opportunity to pause, reflect, and review what truly brought meaning to my life. As I looked back on my journey, I realized that my deepest fulfillment came from helping others grow, heal, and transform. Hence, choosing a purpose to help people manifest their greatness became my path.
This experience taught me an important lesson: reinvention does not require abandoning the past; it requires building upon it. My ability to learn, unlearn, and adapt continues to support my work today. For anyone considering a second act, age is not a limitation but a valuable gift. With wisdom, courage, and determination, it is never too late to embrace change, align with your purpose, and create a meaningful new chapter in life. Many successful people find their gifts later in life, which is okay. It doesn’t matter when you start, what matters is the impact of your work.
