or cosmic prana which is invisible. Modern science and medicine cannot prove the
existence of pran vayu, because there is no such equipment or instrument available to
measure it. The air we breathe in not only contains, oxygen,
nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, neon, helium, and hydrogen but pran Vayu also. Prana is nothing but a life force. Life energy I know modern science does not agree on this
but in many Indian scriptures and various cultures we always talk about pran. Not this pran
When somebody is dead we often say in hindi and punjabi language
"Pran nikal gaye " or " inhane ta pran chadd te" that means life energy is gone from the
body In yoga, Pran or life force is an important
factor of health at the physical, mental, and spiritual level. what are the different types of prana vayus? As per ancient yogic scriptures, there are
five types of pran vayu's and these are Prana,
Apana, Udana,
Samana, and vyana. So let us see how these prana vayu's are connected
to our human body & how they control our body Starting from the top of the body Udana Vayu i.e Udaan life energy force. It governs the organs from the top of the
head to the throat. Udana Vayu activates all the sensory receptors
such as the eyes, ears, nose, and tongue. It is responsible for the erect posture of
the body, sensory awareness, and the ability to respond to the outside world. Udana Vayu is related to vishudhi chakra.i.e
throat chakra and space element of the body. Prana Vayu is the flow of energy, governing
the thoracic area between the larynx ie our voice box, to the
top of the diaphragm i.e our lung. It controls the heart and organs of respiration. Prana Vayu is the force that causes inhalation
of air in the lungs. Prana Vayu is also related to Anahata chakra
i.e heart chakra and the air element of the body. Samana Vayu or samana life energy force governs
the area between the heart and the navel. It activates and controls the digestive system:
the liver, intestines, stomach, and pancreas and their secretions. Samana is responsible
for transformation. On a physical level, this relates to the assimilation
and distribution of nutrients. On an evolutionary level, it relates to kundalini
and the expansion of consciousness. Samana Vayu is also related to the Manipura
chakra i.e. navel center and the fire element of the body. Apana Vayu controls and governs the abdomen,
below the navel region, and provides energy for the large intestine, kidneys, anus, and
genitals. It is also responsible for the expulsion of
waste from the body. Apana Vayu is also related to the Muladhara
chakra i.e. Root center and the earth element of the body. Vyana Vayu is present throughout the body. It regulates and controls thecoordination
with the other pranas. Vyana Vayu the reserve force for the other
pranas. Vyana Vayu is also related to the Swadishthan
chakra i.e. sacral center and the water element of the body. To regulate these five energies and their
flows the yogis developed five hand mudras. These five pranic mudras are important than
eight tattva mudras because these pranic yoga mudras are formed by the union of two or more
elements. If you have not watched our previous videos
on tattva mudras then I highly recommend you to watch these videos, because these videos
will provide you in-depth knowledge about tattva mudras and this will help you to understand
more about pranic yoga mudras. The link is available in the I Button & the
description tab. What are the Five different type of pranik
yoga mudras? Five pranik mudras are
Pran mudra, Apana mudra,
Samaan mudra, Udan mudra,
and Vyan mudra. Pran mudra
Pran mudra is the union of the Water, Earth, and Fire elements. Joining these three elements together, in
balance, creates a very powerful energy. Pran mudra regulates the pran vayu of the
body. Apana mudra Apana Mudra is the union of three elements,
namely Fire, Space, and Earth. Apana mudra regulates the apana vayu of the
body. Samaan mudra Samaan mudra is formed by a union of all the
five elements ie fire, air, space, earth, and water. Samaan mudra helps to regulates the Samaan
vayu of the body. Udaan mudra
Udaan mudra is formed by the union of Fire, Air, Space, and Earth elements. Udaan mudra helps to regulates the udaan vayu
of the body. Vyan mudra
Vyan mudra is formed by the union of Space, Air and Fire elements. Vyan mudra regulates the vyan vayu of the
body. I know I have just given one-liners for all
