The Secondary Pranas of Eastern Thought and Philosophy: An Evaluation of the Pranic Differentiations in the Pranic Body with an Overview of their Clinical Pictures |
The etheric body is the famed “storehouse of all prana.” The
Bhagavad-Gita divides bodily prana into five differentiations, so
called “pranas, secondary pranas, life currents, vital breaths, vital
fluids, vital airs, or vayus,” including: (1) prana, (2) samana, (3)
apana, (4) udana, and (5) vyana. Altogether these secondary pranas in
the etheric body maintain the entire physiological function of the
dense physical body. This document discusses incipiently the various
functions of the vayus in the pranic body and delineates specific
clinical pictures more or less related to a disruption of the pranic
current in the pranic or etheric vehicle. Details
