“May the Force Be With You” - An Exploration of Prāna
The lungs are critical for our survival. Ayurvedically, however, they do more than inhalation of precious oxygen and exhalation of carbon dioxide - they facilitate the inspiration and circulation of prāṇa, or life-force.
Prāṇa can be understood similar to qi: a pure energy, vital principle, and force of life that is present in all beings. We’ve all experienced prāṇa firsthand - perhaps on a hike in beautiful nature, in a deep breath of fresh mountain air, a flourishing forest or garden, freshly picked fruits or vegetables, or the “tingly” feeling you get after pranayama or in meditation - each of these is brimming with prāṇa.
The lungs are a fundamental part of the prāṇa carrying channel in the body and support our inhalation and circulation of it through all the layers and tissues of our being. Without prāṇa, we cannot breathe, think, feel, digest, or communicate with our higher selves and the world around us.
In this webinar, Vasant Lad, BAM&S MASc will take a deeper dive into the role of the lungs at the physical, emotional, and spiritual level as well as cover daily Ayurvedic and yogic practices to support your vitality and long-term health. He will also review common pathologies and concerns of the lungs, such as asthma, and the Ayurvedic clinical approach to them.
Take this webinar if…
You would like to learn about how Ayurveda can support the lungs for the benefit of yourself or a loved one.
