LUMITHECA

Energy & Subtle Body / Guided practice

Direct prana.

Adapted from Yogi Ramacharaka’s
The Hindu-Yogi Science of Breath

One reclining pale-blue figure with hands at the upper abdomen

The purpose

Practise directing prana through intention and a mental picture. In this tradition, prana is vital force: the exercise gathers it at the solar plexus and distributes it throughout the body.

The practice

You’ll lie down with your hands at your upper abdomen. As you breathe in, imagine prana gathering there; as you breathe out, imagine it reaching your body, fingers and toes. You’ll repeat the sequence without forcing the breath, then return to ordinary breathing.

Time to allow
5–8 minutes
Difficulty
4/10
What you’ll use
A comfortable place to lie down
Before you begin
