Universal Life Force

What is energy?

Resonance of the Cosmic.

In the Yoga Vashista it is defined as ‘vibratory power’ that underpins all manifestation. In other sacred scriptures of India it is undeniably understood as Universal Life Force, which is a vital psychophysical energy similar to what the ancient Greeks called Pneuma. In a Greek spiritual sense, it denotes to the Spirit or Soul. Stoic philosophers described it as subtle yet dynamic element that infused everything.

In these traditions (and others of cross-cultural parallels) Universal Life Force Energy is said to move through the physical body and organs and is the sustainer of life itself. This led to the invention of Pranayama, various techniques in breath control. This of course suggests the esoteric understanding of the close relationship between the breath and consciousness.

Prana-dharana, which means ‘holding of the life force’, is the technique of focussing the energy into specific parts of the body to restore health, vitality. When the Universal Life Force is humming gently through the nadis (energy channels) and steadily through all chakras we are at Full Power. The cosmic harmony of strength and calm.

The cleansing and nourishing of Prana is the gatekeeper to Ultimate Bliss.  

We cannot trick it. It cannot be spiritually bypassed. It cannot be faked.

Prana is what tells the story of embodiment.

It permeates the essence of your Being.
