Prana Vayus: Using Breath to Balance Energy, Boundaries, and the Nervous System The host introduces the Prana Vayus system to evaluate how life force energy (prana) rides on the breath and how imbalances can be brought into balance. Using a half-filled cup as a visual aid, they explain the five values: apana (down and out, release and elimination), prana (in and up, what we consume through all senses), samana (digestion and assimilation of what’s taken in), udana (up and out, expression, supported by voice and mantra), and vyana (assimilation and understanding from inner to periphery). They connect the values to boundaries, pelvic floor and breath mechanics, and bandhas (pelvic floor, diaphragm, vocal diaphragm) as tools to regulate the nervous system, along with calming “langhana” and energizing “brahmana” techniques, and invite listeners to YouTube for accompanying practices.
