The Pranic Body
Prana is life force. According to yoga physiology pranamaya kosha or sheath is made up of five major pranas which are collectively known as pancha pranas. They are prana, udana, samana, apana and vyana. Pranamaya kisha governs the area between the larynx and the top of the diaphragm.
Prana This is the force that is associated with the organs of respration, speech, the guilt, muscles and nerves that activate these organs. It is by this force that the breath is drawn inside.
Udana This force is associated with the area of the body above the neck. It activates the sensory receptors such as eyes, nose, ears etc. The main function is to activate thought and consciousness. This force also activates limbs, their muscles, ligaments, nerves and joints and helps an erect posture.
