Prana Vidya English 2013

Prana Vidya is an advanced yogic practice distilled from the classical traditions and developed in the satyananda yoga system. It involves a deep exploration of prana, the life force, and develops the ability to channel this underlying principle of existence. Not only does the practice allow access to subtle levels of consciousness, but it is also an effective healing method. This book is divided in two parts. The first part discusses the theory of prana vidya, from theyogic, cross-cultural, and scientific points of view. The second part includes the practices, beginning with preparatory and foundational techniques and gradually moving into advanced methods. The detailed practices systematically guide the practitioner towards a refined pranic awareness and control, eventually leading to mastery in directing the vital force of life.
