Introduction to Prana

This subreddit will focus on explaining, how Prana is another form of expression of your vital energy from your Spirit (soul/astral body/etheric body/energetic body/emotional body/true self) to help spread this information and help everyone learn about the different spiritual/biological discoveries, usages and benefits that were documented on the activation of this type of energy.

This community presents to you an opportunity to empower yourself with your control of your Prana by gaining the ability to really tap into all the reported, documented and written spiritual/biological usages that are said to be achievable with your conscious cultivation of it.

What does Prana means/Represents:

• Prana is a Sanskrit word that can mean "breath of life", "Life Force" "Energy" or "vital energy." It represents an energy that is in both living beings and inanimate objects. It is said to flow through energy channels known as Nadis, in the energy body/spirit/soul/astral body/etheric body/emotional body/true self.

• It is an expression of your vital energy in your body and is one of four other types of expressions of this vital energy, with the five of them together being called Vayus and this one Prana Vayu or just Prana. This type of expression is all about breathing and can be amplified or gathered from other sources thanks to special breathing techniques.

The Sanskrit word Vayus means wind, space or air.

• The Prana Vayu governs breathing in, assimilation and taking things in (including sensory impressions and their mental assimilation). Though its seat is in the heart, the Prana Vayu can be experienced in different parts of the body (head or navel typically).

• Over the years,It was discovered that this energy can be used in many beneficial ways. Some which are more biological like breathing in, assimilation and taking things in (including sensory impressions and their mental assimilation) and others which are more Spiritual like Activating your Spiritual Body and more.

• Prana is equivalent to what can be considered your "Spiritual Energy" because your spirit (soul/astral body/etheric body/ energetic body/emotional body/true self) is made of that same energy in motion that activates when you experience it.

• In its neutral state, you unconsciously draw that energy with your breath, the foods/liquids you consume and especially the thoughts you think, the actions you do and the visual content that you watch either emit or draw in to amplify your base of this BioElectric Energy.

Here's a simple way that's explains how you can become aware of your Spiritual Energy, it is that extremely comfortable Euphoric wave that can most easily be recognized as present while you experience goosebumps/chills from a positive external or internal situations/ stimuli like listening to a song you really like, thinking about a lover, watching a moving movie scene, striving, feeling thankful, praising God, praying, etc.

• That Euphoric wave is the animating energy behind life itself, Other cultures that have experienced in other ways with this energy found their own usages for it and then documented their results as they coined different terms for it.

• That energy activates goosebumps/chills not the other way around. You can learn how to separate that extremely pleasant energy from the physical reaction of goosebumps and eventually learn how to activate only that Euphoric energy part whenever you please, feel it wherever or everywhere on yourself and for the duration you choose.

Of all the vayus, prana and apana are exceedingly powerful, and their effects dominate over all the other stages of energy production. In fact, in the Upanishads and other yogic texts it is written that when the opposing actions of prana and apana are united, all the other vayus are automatically harmonized.

We have established that biological sustenance is dependent upon breathing. Many yogic texts support this conclusion. Perhaps the clearest reference is in the second chapter of the Hatha Yoga Pradipika (v.3), which declares that: "As long as breathing continues, life exists; when the breath departs, so too does life. Therefore regulate the breath." So where do we begin regulating our breath? The nose is a good place to start, because it is relatively easy to manipulate the flow of air through the nostrils. For this reason, swara yoga - begins with the examination of air flow in the nose.

The nose is very significant, for at the root of the nasal cavity is a uniquely designed prana-detecting device. This is a thin, perforated bone, known in medical terminology as the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone. Within these perforations the minute filaments of the olfactory nerve reside. They relay information to the brain concerning the constituents of the air. When electrically charged ions contact these filaments, the brain and main nervous system automatically become energized. This charging travels to the limbic system of the brain, in which perception is transformed into experience. So breathing directly affects our emotional responses to life, and conversely the arousal of different emotions is reflected in the breath. If one breathes through the mouth, the entire air mass and prana travel straight down the trachea without stimulating the brain and nervous system. Therefore the activation of the entire nervous system is dependent on nasal breathing.
