5 Vayus- Prana

The vayus describe the ways in which energy moves though us.

We can translate vayu as "wind"; these are currents that flow through the body.

Prana vayu comes into the body from above us and around us.  It is seated in the head.

Prana vayu governs absorption of nutrition in all forms and is associated with nourishment.

Prana comes in on the first part of the inhalation.

It comes in through all the senses and creates the potential for clear mind.

Certain places and people have more prana than others: the ocean has a huge amount of prana, new babies, forests, the Dalai Lama, etc.  We feel nourished in the presence of prana.
