In Hindu philosophy including yoga, Indian medicine, and martial arts, Prana ( ????? ,

In living beings, this universal energy is assumed to be responsible for all bodily functions through the five types of prana, collectively known as the five v? Yus . Ayurveda, tantra and Tibetan medicine all illustrate pre? v? yu as the base v? yu from where all v. other yus appeared. The Indologian Georg Feuerstein explains, "The Chinese call it chi, Polynesian, Amerindian orenda, and ancient German od .This is a pervasive 'organic' energy."

The ancient concept of prana is described in many early Hindu texts, including the Upanishads and Vedas. One of the earliest references to prana is from 3,000 years of Chandogya Upanishad, but many other Upanishads also use the concept, including Katha, Mundaka and Prasna Upanishad. This concept is described in detail in practice and literature ha? Ha yoga, tantra, and Ayurveda.

Prana is usually divided into several constituent parts, especially when dealing with the human body. Although not all initial sources agree on the name or number of these subdivisions, the most common list of Mahabharata, Upanishad, Ayurvedic and Yogic sources includes five classifications, often divided into subsequent subcategories. This list includes Prana (inward-moving energy), apana (energy moving outward), vyana (energy circulation), udana (energy from the head and throat), and samana (digestion and assimilation). The mention of certain prana often emphasizes pr ?? a, ap? Na, and vy? Na as "three breaths". This can be seen in the proto-yoga tradition of Vratyas among others. Text like Vaik? Nasasm? Rta made use of five prana as the internalization of the five victims' fires from the panchagni homa ceremony.

V? yus

One way to divide prana is by v? Yus. V? yu means "wind" or "air" in Sanskrit, and this term is used in various contexts in Hindu philosophy. Pr ?? a is considered a basis v? Yu from where all v. Another yus appeared. Then pr ??? is a collective term that is subdivided into individual from pr ?? a, ap? na, u ?? na, sam? na, and vy? na. The function of five v? Yus is as follows:

pulse

Indian philosophy describes prana flowing in a channel called "pulse". The Shiva Samhita states that there are a total of 350,000 pulses in the human body, while another text says there are 72,000 veins, each branched out into 72,000 others. These pulses play an important role in the application and understanding of specific yoga practices. Shiva Samhita explains that the three most important pulses are Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna, each of which facilitates the flow of pre v? yu all over the body.

Ida pulse associated with the left side of the body, ending in the left nostril. Pingala pulse associated with the right side of the body, ending in the right nostril. Sushumna pulse connects the base chakra at the base of the spine to the crown chakra at the top of the head.

Pranayama practice can be used to balance pranic flow in the body. When is pre? v? yu entering a period of uplifted, intensified activity, yoga traditions refer to it as pranotthana, the precursor of the Kundalini state.

Pranayama

The word Pr ??? y? Ma comes from Sanskrit words pr ?? a and ay? Ma , which translates as "life force" and "expansion" respectively. This is a general term for various techniques for collecting, expanding and working with prana. Pranayama is one of the eight branches of yoga and is a practice of specific and often complicated breathing control techniques.

Many pranayama techniques are designed to clear an energetic channel called the pulse, allowing for greater prana movement. Other techniques can be used to hold the breath for samadhi or to bring awareness to a certain area within the body of the delicate or physical practitioner. It can also be utilized to produce deep heat as in tummo practice.

In Ayurveda and therapeutic yoga, pranayama can also be used for a number of tasks, including to affect mood and aid digestion. A.G. Mohan said pranayama's physical goals may be to recover from illness or health care, while his mental goal is: "to eliminate mental disorders and make the mind focused for meditation".

According to Georg Feuerstein: "The two most important species of life force are clearly pra dan and apÃÆ'n, na, which underlie the respiratory process, their vigorous activity is seen as the main cause of anxiety, and their cessation is the primary goal of breath control (prà Menurut  ¢ nÃÆ'  ¢ yÃÆ'  ¢ ma) ". Swami Yogananda writes that: "The true meaning of Pranayama, according to Patanjali, founder of Yoga philosophy, is the gradual cessation of breathing, the cessation of inhalation and breathing."
