My sequence of joint freeing series is important as the specific sequence given there allows the prana to move through its 5 forms to the subtlest, called Vyana.
Can you tell me more about this? I am aware of the 5 pranas. I do a sequence of 5 postures that correlate that I learned from a student of Bri Ma Tiwari’s. It’s done with a modified Brahmari pranayama (sounding on exhale only). I can see where moving the Vyana out to the joints would work extraordinarily well if done consciously. I also do energy work ? mainly pranic healing and cranial sacral. I’m trying to bridge that more with my yoga teaching lately. Thanks in advance Mukunda. Peace- M.
Pranas go through a cycle – Prana increases on inhale, Samana during pause that follows, Udana on initial portion of exhale, Apana on last portion of exhale and Vyana increases during pause falling after exhale. By doing practices where breath awareness is a constant foundation of all activity, the pranas can be increased. The step is to first become aware that the breath is a gift from God, without whose presence there is no life. Without the foundation of devotion, the benefits derived are unlikely to be sustained. Then one increases their consciousness of the breath at all times. Then learn to feel the specific motions of the pranas during the sub phases of then breath cycle. Teachings of Classical Yoga from Patanjali (Yoga Sutra I, 34) recommend retaining the prana that arises following the exhale. By learning how to retain pause (kumbhaka) this promotes Vyana prana.
