Prana Inside the body
It is when we are unwell and restless that most of our Prana is outside of our body instead of within.
A big part of yoga is pranayama and breathing. And it is through breathing that we can increase Prana inside the body.
If Prana cannot find room inside the body then it is being forced out by what does not belong, by the blockages and toxicity accumulated within. Through yoga and pranayama we are working with tools of breath, we are trying to break down all the blockages and reversing the effect allowing Prana to flow back within the body and concentrate a better and denser quality of life inside of us.
This why the definition of yogi is one whose spine is filled with light.
In practice, we try to absorb all the Prana and restrict it from leaking outside of the body with bandhas & energy locks. It is with constant practice we can slowly fortify the power of breath in creating more Prana within and less leakage out. Also, by knowing the reason behind the leakage that we can permanently prevent our Prana from leaving our bodies.
Prana is the vital source of life, it is what is continuous and everywhere. To keep our well- being we need to induce Prana within us, having little of it inside of the body can render us dull, weak, flavorless and unmotivated. Life and how we perceive it can definitely bring us to that state of being that rids us of Prana and fill us with junk. This can only lead to confusion, cloudiness of the mind and illness of the body.
Since body, breath and mind are linked, whichever is disturbed the others follow. Training the mind to induce vitality is a way of treating imbalances in the body and getting to the realization that the quality of breath can influence our state of mind and our state of mind can then affect the flow of Prana.
Yoga, breathwork and meditation can help us to retrieve the benefits of these connections of breath, mind and Prana.
When our Prana is balanced within the body we are healthier, happier, more vibrant and ready for life.
Where the mind gows, energy flows.
