Key Concepts of
Ayurveda
Prana: The Life Force
Another key concept in Ayurveda is the life force that
enters the body at birth, travels through all the parts of the body until it leaves at
the moment of death. This life force is called prana. Prana strings body, mind, and spirit together
like beads on a strand. Prana is the force necessary to keep the living beings
alive.
Prana gets its nutrition through:
|
The lungs that absorbs the
essence found in the air. |
|
The colon that absorbs the prana found in well
digested food. |
Thus the lungs and the large intestine are closely connected in Ayurveda.
They both supply Prana. For example, a few minutes of slow, deep breathing can reduce the
hunger. Ayurveda is concerned with nourishing both the body as well as the mind.
