Prāṇa, or life force energy, is the most important aspect of focus in Yoga philosophy. All tools of Yoga are in fact designed to influence the free flow of Prāṇa through our energy centres in the body, which are in turn connected to respective limbs, organs and emotions of our system.
The Prāṇa itself is divided into five main energy types, of which Prāṇa is the most important one. It represents the vitalizing energy and is located in the chest region. It is the source of manifesting energy and it nourishes our seed potentials to manifest into their fruition.
This mantra honours this vitalising Prāṇa, and will be helpful to vitalise your self and allow your seed potentials to manifest. Place your hands in the chest area and listen to this mantra 12 times, three times a day, at sunrise, midday and sunset time.
