The benefits of PranaYama include a reduction of stress and tension, improved respiration and circulation, as well as a heightened awareness and clarity of mind. Those suffering from respiratory ailments, headaches or migraines, and depression, may especially derive great relief from PranaYama. |
Herbert Ross, DC with Keri Brenner, L.Ac.
See book keywords and concepts |  An important aspect of yoga is harnessing and increasing the flow of prana, or life energy (similar to the Chinese qi). The blockage of prana, whether due to improper diet, lifestyle stressors, or imbalance in one's physical, emotional, or spiritual health, can lead to illness. Breathing techniques and the duration certain postures are held can help remove blockages in the flow of prana.

There may be plenty of calories in the highly refined white flour products but the body is not able use this form of "dead" energy. Our digestive system is naturally programmed to extract energy from live foods or complex staple foods, which contain plenty of prana. The body regards such lifeless foods as meat, cornflakes or light-foods to be indigestible and tries to "dump" them as quickly as possible. |

This is the first location in the body where waste, meaning extra weight, starts to accumulate and, when the intestinal "vessel" is full, it begins distributing the waste to other areas of the body as well. |

See book keywords and concepts |  It can be construed of as the Hindu concept of prana, or life force. We receive chi from the sun, the earth, and the nutrients we ingest. In the body, chi flows from one meridian point to the next, bringing energy to every body part and system. Chi is warming, protects the body from harmful influences, and is the source (not the cause) of movement. Herbs that are chi tonics promote energy circulation. gy. These yang flavors are slower to be sensed and remain longer. |
David Wolfe
See book keywords and concepts |  All scientific considerations aside, air contains some life principle (prana) that keeps the human body functioning. prana is not oxygen, but etherealized monoatomic elements or something even more exotic. These etherealized elements are spirally unzipped out of the air and into our bodies by the act of breathing. Isn't that fascinating?
When you sleep you automatically breathe, but you do not automatically eat! One can live tor weeks without eating, for days without drinking, but only fleeting minutes without breathing. Yet breathing is the most neglected science in the health field. |
Michael Friedman, ND
See book keywords and concepts |  The main life-force energy in yoga is called prana. The prana flows through seven major energetic centers, known as the chakras (literally translated as wheels), and through many smaller channels, called nadis. The seven chakras have physical, emotional, and spiritual properties. The chakras spin clockwise when flowing properly. The bottom three are yang (or external) and the top three are yin (or internal). The heart chakra combines and integrates these opposite forces. All of the chakras are thought to be externalized as endocrine glands.
The root chakra is located at the base of the spine. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Taking vitamin pills, which don't contain much Life Force Energy, also known as Chi or prana), does not substitute regular intake of healthy, fresh food. Vitamins that have been removed from their natural environment, i.e., fruits, vegetables, etc. can in fact upset both AGNI and the delicate balance of minerals and vitamins in the body. This especially applies to multivitamin preparations. | | Foods that are processed, refined, preserved, microwave heated, frozen or reheated may still contain enough nutrients but are all deprived of their natural life force (Chi, Ki or prana). Without life force, these foods may reach the bloodstream but are unable to enter the cells where they need to be in order to keep the body healthy. This basic physiological principle was demonstrated in a classic experiment involving 6,000 healthy cats (as mentioned earlier). The cats were given highly nutritious food that was warmed in a microwave oven prior to feeding them. |

A third system of medicine became widespread on the subcontinent after the Muslim conquests of the eleventh century, and was strengthened by the rise of the Mughal Empire in the sixteenth century. | | Perhaps most importantly of all, both immigration and the emergence of the leisure travel industry has meant that more people have the chance to see medicine from other cultures in practice, on the ground, with their own eyes—to judge for themselves if qi or prana are more or less credible, comprehensible, and intellectually attractive than neurotransmitters or the Krebs cycle. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The body draws on its innate intelligence to access universal chi, or prana, as it is called in India. Chi is then intensified and transferred through the hands to promote healing in other living things. Quantum touch works on the principle that areas of illness, vibrating as they do at lower frequencies, will naturally move to harmonize with the higher vibrations being held by the quantum touch practitioner. It is the loving intent and focused attention that allows quantum touch to work. Energy follows thought. |

See book keywords and concepts |  We are not going to review that history here, but suffice it to say that most people interested in alternative healing methods have heard of qi (also spelled chi, and pronounced "chee"), prana, the elan vital, meridians, chakras, and other terms for the energy of the body from cultures around the world. However, NES is not working with these kinds of energies, which for the most part are cosmic, metaphysical energies that pervade the universe. We repeat that we are dealing with energies that are measurable; they are the energies of matter. |

When there is a depletion of Source energy in the body-field as a whole or in a particular cavity, then physical problems may result.

See book keywords and concepts | | Cultures from around the world and throughout history speak of pervasive natural energy, calling it qi, prana, and other names. NES would later come to call this pervasive, universal energy the Source energy, and Peter and Harry feel that it is not some unknown cosmic energy but a real energy of physics, what is called zero-point energy (ZPE), the energy of the zero-point field (ZPF). |

See book keywords and concepts | | It's called qi in China, prana in India."
In the Chinese model, qi is considered to be the life force that flows along specific pathways, called meridians, throughout the body. Points of heightened energy along the meridians are called acupoints. Sometimes the flow of qi in the body can become blocked, causing illnesses to develop. An acupuncturist uses the acupoints to stimulate the flow of qi and thus restore health to the body. In addition to its physical effects, acupuncture has a positive psychological effect as well. |

Gabriel Cousens, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Our awareness spontaneously increases because the experience of the prana in itself, as the emanation of God and as the Face of God, naturally increases our awareness of the Divine. This experiential aspect of the Divine reinforces our direct awareness of the non-dualistic Truth of God. At some intangible point in the process, this direct awareness, which we often experience in the practice of meditation, begins to maintain itself more and more predominantly in our waking state. At this point, our mundane daily life is transformed by the awareness we experience in meditation. | | In summary, the energetic continuum goes from the formless Absolute (Ein Sof), to the zero point, to the Shekhinah, cosmic prana, or spiritual Kundalini energy, then to the tachyon level. Then it steps down from the tachyon, crossing the speed-of-light barrier to the SOEFs to the subtle body systems and chakras, the nadis, and finally into the living colloid system. This gives us a way to understand the meaning of Spiritual Nutrition and health. The SOEFs, when energized by the tachyon energy, create an energetic matrix from the protid colloid suspension in our tissues on the physical plane. |
Larry Trivieri, Jr.
See book keywords and concepts |  Chronic blockage of the flow of prana can eventually lead to illness. Pranayama exercises are designed to help prevent or remove these blockages.
Pranayama can help the practitioner to regulate previously unconscious bodily functions. It has been demonstrated that its practice can aid digestion, heart function, and a variety of physical ailments, and in one study conducted at City Hospital in Nottingham, England, it was found to be particularly effective in reducing the frequency of asthma attacks. |
Gabriel Cousens, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | When the prana is balanced, that is the optimal time to receive Shaktipat and activate the flow of the Kundalini. This is why the author appreciates the blessing of Shaktipat which is cosmically organized to only awaken the Kundalini when the person is ready. Kundalini awakening activated through Shaktipat as the descent of Grace, with a lineage and an awakened, empowered spiritual teacher who has received the blessings of his or her teachers to be the embodiment of Grace, is extremely safe. | | Once this Kundalini vortex becomes the predominant energy system for the organism, the pure prana entering through the crown chakra becomes a most important source for energizing the system. In some, it may be the only source. These people are dining on the direct nectar of God. This is the ultimate Spiritual Nutrition.

THE
SPIRITUAL NUTRITION PARADIGM
Introduction he Spiritual Nutrition paradigm fills a gap in the meaning and value of nutrition. | | UNA and RNA are the harp strings; the winds of pure prana blow through, and the sound is pure joy. This is the alchemy of meditation. The experience of it fills us with Love, harmony, and joy. Love is the ultimate harmonic of the alchemy of meditation. The awareness that comes from the continual experience of this total harmonic of Love establishes us in the ultimate holographic, non-dualistic Truth. | | When the prana and I AM consciousness become one in meditation, this merging celebrates Liberation. When it is fully merged, irreversibly merged, 100 percent merged, it is called mok-sha. Before that point, it is called Self-realization or Liberation. In the Yogic system, Liberation begins with the merging of Shiva and Shakti. In the Kabbalistic system, it is Zeir Anpin and Nukba merging.
When the glass ceiling shatters (Liberation), there are no paths; we realize we are the destination Itself. One simply abides in the Truth. Not even Love of the Self exists. |
