Prana and its Qualities

The Life Energy flows through the network of Nadis across the Energy body and powers the Physical & Mental Bodies. This Life Energy that powers the human biological machine is known as Prana.

It is a complex multidimensional energy; a combination of electrical, magnetic, electromagnetic, photonic, ocular, thermal and mental energies.

Prana is not breath as one can stay alive without breathing till the time Prana remains active in the body.

It can also flow from one person to another across a gradient of higher levels of Prana to lower levels. This is the basis of science of consecration and Prana Vidya.

How Human Body gets Prana?

Externally

Externally the requirement for Prana is fulfilled from the environment through food, air, water and sun.

Breathing in air not only provides vital oxygen for metabolic processes but also a certain quantity of Prana.

Visiting a mountain gives a feeling of solitude and tranquility. This is because air is high in Prana at high altitudes.

The food that we classify as Sattvic has the Highest Pranic value. The quality & quantity of Prana decreases as the food moves towards Rajasic & Tamasic.

This is a proven fact in the laboratory that Sattvic diet is high in Pranic value while Rajasic & Tamasic diet is low in Pranic value.

Sattvic food is described as diet containing Fruits, raw vegetables, sea fish etc.

Rajasic & Tamasic food is a diet containing processed food, nonvegetarian including meat, eggs, poultry etc.

Internally

Each individual has a certain quantum of Prana within himself. The quantum of Prana changes continuously both quantitatively & qualitatively as per the activities of an individual.

Positive thoughts & emotions and Yogic Practices of Pranayama tend to generate higher levels of Prana in the body intrinsically.

The quantum of Prana as well as its quality has a subtle reflection on every aspect of human life. The dynamism that one sees in a persons personality is all because of enhanced level of Prana.

Enhanced Quality of Prana means more subtler aspects of energy providing increased vitality to each and every cell of the body.

Why understanding science of Prana is Important?

Different manifestations of Consciousness & Energy are present in every aspect of manifested creation.

Whether it is budding of a flower, blowing of a wind, running of a car, flowing of water or movement of a human body, everything is because of Prana or Life Energy.

Understanding the science of Prana is important. This is because the ‘Rise in Human Consciousness’ is facilitated by the movement of Prana across different Koshas of the body.

Consciousness is that which can see but CANNOT walk the path while Prana or Energy is blind but CAN walk the path.

So, if they both have to move together, only way to reach a far away point is that Prana or Energy, which has mobility, is constantly guided by Consciousness, which has the power to see.

Different experiences of life are because of movement of Prana across different Koshas which takes a person into different dimensions of existence.
