The Tibetan pulsing system was devised by an American named, James Rudolph Murley, later known as Dheeraj.  Dheeraj began discovering Tibetan pulsing when he was suffering from pancreatitis, largely the result of being an alcoholic for over twenty years. He found that by touching his pancreas with his hands and feeling the pulse beat, the pain stopped. He began discovering twenty-four specific energy streams in the body which connected to each of the organs and also learnt to vibrate the organs with sound. Music, sounds, colours, mudras and all the knowledge about the Tibetan system started to reveal itself to him during his meditations. He was able to correlate the different music, sounds and colours with each of the twenty-four centres. He also studied human behaviour in a mental institute. He began refining his understanding and writing down his findings on a chart.

It is claimed that practices similar to Tibetan Pulsing, incorporating the twenty-four lights, were used thousands of years ago in Tibetan monasteries and that Dheeraj’s work was a development of this. The work was thought to have been used by monks as a powerful method of purifying the nervous system and preparing the body for the experience of enlightenment. Used solely for this  purpose, its healing powers were kept secret behind monastery walls.
