Prana – Life energy or life power.
Prana – sounds familiar??? …. No, its not some electricity company nor is it some guy/girl who lived next door. Prana is an energy that circulates in the body and creates life. It is an innate energy that human beings can always gain access to. It comes to us when we inhale, but it is more than just the oxygen we need to live… once again please do not let your imagination go wild just yet and confuse it with weed, hash, cocaine, or anything in that family!
Aristotle claims that the human being is an organism controlled by energy and that we are all part of a universal power that determines our physical and mental nature. Similarly, Albert Einstein refers to in his “theory of relativity” that everything is a timeless flowing field of constant information, and the body is a flowing organism that has achieved its power through millions of years of intelligence. This intelligence, our mind, watches over the constant process of transformation that takes place in each and every one of us, and this intelligence affects each cell in the body.
Ok coming back from our science class I’d like to continue that …..Prana is the link between body, soul, matter, and energy. It is a universal power, a pure flow of energy that maintains the activity in your body, mind and soul, while at the same time creating the movements in planets and stars. Yes you read it right… surprisingly it is the same energy that moves in the universe and within us. Prana is innate in all living things.
It is the same energy, vital force that heals us when we cut and bleed, bruise and swell. The same energy that replenishes the dead cells that you go and exfoliate at the beauty parlor every few weeks. Its the same energy that glues your broken bones together when you break your limbs while playing soccer or beating up your girlfriend’s ex boyfriend. Its the same energy that wonderfully takes the shit out of you. I mean literally speaking, the process of converting the food particles into smaller molecules…identifying and extracting the nutrition or nutrition like components, transporting this supplement to the entire body from head to toe and help eliminating the left over waste. For some of us, this could a life occupation!
But unfortunately with the high tech, material driven, fast paced rat race we are all voluntarily and involuntarily competing in is killing this prana within us. An eye opener is the increase and evolution of so many diseases that were once upon a time rare or inexistent. There is an immense increase in chronic and mild illnesses which have become a part of our life not because our body is defective in some way but because of our lifestyle. No wonder medical science is minting money and donations are being made for researching medical solutions for diseases that haven’t even evolved.
We need to revive and unleash this energy to get life sustaining, money saving miraculous benefits that money cant buy! “Its priceless” – but this time its not Mastercard! Believe it or not, you will never have to dread botox or fly to Korea to look any younger. All you need to do is entice your prana. Relate to it, understand it. It feeds on your undivided attention.
There are techniques to control this vitalizing power and set it into motion. The practice of yoga is the best possible technique proven. The more prana you transport around inside your body, the more balanced, strong, and positive you get. It maintains equilibrium and protects against imbalances and disturbances…. but at the same time this mysterious power of pure energy has an obvious higher purpose. Its a journey within you, a road less traveled, and a mind blowing experience!
