After air has been brought into your body with an in-breath and its oxygen has filtered into your bloodstream, vyana, the third of the five forms of prana flowing through your body, begins its work. Vyana energy governs your circulatory system and makes sure that oxygen reaches every cell in your body. Without a constant supply of oxygen, metabolism cannot take place and the energy from your food cannot be made usable.
The regions of the body most affected by vyana energy
Ancient yoga texts tell us that vyana energy begins in the heart and radiates out into the world – the word vyana translates as “expanding” or “expansive”. In the following pages you will learn how this energy awakens you emotionally as well as physically. By arousing your desire for personal freedom and stimulating your heart to open, vyana energy makes you more charitable and willing to share your gifts, equipping you to live more harmoniously within your family and your community.
