Energy of being:
it's not really so esoteric, a mystery yes, but not something outside our intuitive understanding - prana is simply the energy of transformation, it's what sparks the single cell within a mother's womb to develop as a baby, it creates the toddler's sudden urge to walk, and hormones of its teenage years. Prana is the energy of cells, communication throughout the body, change, and the animation of matter into life. The easiest definition is to say that prana is the cause of motion, the drive behind every transformation, and the vibrancy of our existence. It's the energy of being.
prana is the science of attraction, drawing particles together to form atoms, and then atoms combining in a bond of molecules, further we have the interaction of these molecules forming cells and onward to the tissues of our bodies. We are the creation of prana, an energetic structure, a bond of attraction. It could be said that prana was the whisper of motion that caused the Big Bang, the urge for the universe to evolve and continue to expand.
and more intimately so, it's the energy of being, our life-force, animating our existence. It's the breath and the gift of life that it carries, a subtle charge that brings us to awareness, causes our conscious understanding of who we are within the world. We are, everything is...because of prana.
it's that simple.
pranayama is the art of recognizing this gift, devoting ourselves to a moment of deep appreciation and drawing this energy fully into our bodies through awareness of the breath. It's the practice of giving notice to this subtle energy of being, opening ourselves to its potential, giving us cause to further expand through the possibilities of life. Breathing is a gift and pranayama is its unwrapping. We breathe ourselves into existence, with every breath being our connection to the divine.
prana is the force that ties this all together.
it's the energy of being.
