Udana is one of the 5 vayus, or winds, that move through the body.
Udana is the mirror reflection of Prana:
Prana is absorbed from above us and around us; it nourishes us and governs absorption of nutrients. Prana comes in through the senses and creates the environment for a clear mind.
Udana travels up through the body and heart and comes out of us as self-expression:
voice
writing
livelihood
While prana cultivates the environment for growth and clarity, Udana takes what we've developed and sends it back out into the world as an expression of each of us.
