Interpreting Prana, The Life Force Of The Universe By: Yamaya Cruz | - Prana is a Sanskrit term that refers to the sustaining force of life that prevails in not only the living organisms but the universe as well. It is the notion that there is a life-sustaining force and vital energy among the living beings and the universe. The term can be broken down into pra which means "prior" and ana which refers to a singular element or the basic unit that is the foundation of everything in the universe. It is similar to the Chinese concept of Qi.
Benefits Of Pranayama - The Yoga Of Breath By: Paul M. Jerard Jr. | - Within Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, we learn the fourth limb of Raja Yoga is pranayama. This places a high value on what some people refer to as "breathing." Yet, pranayama is actually the systematic cultivation of prana (energy). When one practices pranayama, the ratio of breath is important for controlling the amount of energy one draws in.

The Pranic Principle - Prana, Orgone, And Spiritual Energy In The Universe And Nature - Part 2 By: Russell Symonds | - Large bodies of water seem to contain this prana and I feel that it must be, like water, a major and very important "building block" of who we are, otherwise we would not be so pleasantly sensitive to its existence as a source of blessing and nourishment to our souls and as such a powerful and perhaps necessary source of energy for our bodies. Prana is a vital part of yoga; it is the energy that transforms and enlightens every portion of one's being and a source of great happiness.

Learn About Yoga Breathing -- What Is "samana"? By: Analia Kerner | - Most people think breathing is just taking in air and letting it out again.

Samanas' job is to extract oxygen and to transport it to your cells. When you learn about yoga breathing, these concepts become clear and help you become more aware of how important our breathi ...

Kundalini Yoga By: alex | - Kundalini Yoga literally means coiling, like a snake. In the classical literature of hatha yoga Kundalini is described as a coiled serpent at the base of the spine.

Perhaps more meaningfully Kundalini can be described as a great reservoir of creative energy at the base of the spine.
