Eating, Digesting and Evacuating Ten Vein groups - Nadis
The Ida and Pingala Nadis start from the right and left toes, go up gradually in a scissors pattern parallel
to the back bone, into the head, and then passing through the nostrils return to the anus.

The Susumna Nadi appears at the bottom of the anus. It combines with ida and pingala and with life air
goes upto the top of head, sharingbreaths.

The Gandhari Nadi climbs from the navel, adjusting with the seven great veins. It spreads around the
throat and takes seat under the tongue.

The Atti and Sikhu Nadis start from the anus and run up into the ears, protecting the instruments of
hearing.

The Alampurusa and Alampada Nadis start from anus, run up into the eyeballs, directing their
movement.

The Sangini and Guhu Nadis start from the navel and end under anusIda.

Ida, Pingala and Susumna combine in vata creating constipation and other digestive problems, bringing
lethargy and laziness, tamas.

Gandhari, Atti, Sikhu and Alampurusa combine in pitha creating excessive heat, thirst, gastric
upheavals, pressure, and bring up lusty desires, rajas.

Guhu, Sangini and Alampada combine in kapha creating widening of the eyes, deepening of the eye-
socket, excessive sweating of face, and anxiety resulting in depression, deeper tamas. Ten kinds of life
airs - Pranas
 2

The vital force of life includes 5 main categories of life air, viz., prana, apana, vyana, samana and udana,
assisted by 5 other categories of subtle life-airs viz., naga, kurma, gregara, devadatta, and dhananjaya.
The vital force is like a snake because it is sustained by air, (snakes can subsist simply by drinking air)
and when there is derangement of air, the vital force is weakened and thus with lesser resistance the
body becomes a victim of diseases. Mental diseases are results of derangement of the subtle airs.
Harmonizing the sustenance of vital force by meditation (like Reiki meditation) is especially beneficial to
keep the airs in order so that the diseases of the body become almost nil by such exercise. When this
is properly done, vital force need not be used up unnecessarily in fighting diseases. Thus, naturally the
life-span will also increase. If one becomes really perfect in this, even control of death is possible, as has
been proved by the great yogis of India. Prana appears in the middle of eyebrows in the Ajna Chakra...

- then falls into the vein called Citra...

- vibrates Aum in the pelvis (Muladhara Chakra)...
- echoes Reem in the naval (Manipuraka Chakra)...
- runs through the Ida and Pingala nadi)...
- moves around the skull...

...and exits through the nostrils at four to twelve finger-spaces. For a perfect body, in 24 minutes it gives
360 breathes. Per day there are 21,600 breaths - 7,200 exhalations and 14,400 inhalations. Apana flows
from the naval down, functioning between the anus and genitals, helping evacuation of Liquids and
solids.

Vyana is established in the shoulders. It works with 7,200 veins helping the limbs to fold and extend. It
distributes the food nutrition equally so that bile does not increase.
Udana increases the fire in belly helping digestion.

Samana is established in the navel. It balances other airs, purifies the water and food intake and spreads
all over the body protecting the balance.

Naga helps one to understand arts and crafts. It also controls the functioning of sight, opening and
closing of the eye-lids, and the hairs standing on end. Kurma stays close to the mind, helping yawning,
closing of the mouth, and laughing.

Grigara helps the cleansing of the tongue and nostrils, and the functioning of coughing and sneezing.

Devadatta creates laziness and anger. It flows between the anus and the gentials.

Dhananjaya is seated in the nostrils. It helps the body to swell when prana leaves, and cracks through
the head on the third day after the death. Five Vital Centers - Asayas
Annasaya is seated at the junction of drinking and eating. Jalasaya is seated at the junction where water
separates from intake of food. Malasaya is seated in the junction where stool separates.
Slanchalasaya is seated in the junction where urine separates. Suklasaya is seated in the junction where
semen is stored. Five Layers - Koshas
Annamaya protects the gross body. Pranamaya combines the working senses and the activities of the
subtle body while dreaming. Manomaya combines with the working senses and the functioning of the
subtle body in dreams. Vijnanamaya combines with the intelligence and senses and functions in dreams.
Anandamaya is the basis of the causal body. Three Componants - Dhatus

Air (Vayu or Vata) is produced when fire and water mix in life-air.
Bile (Pitha) is produced when fire and air mix in life-air. Mucus (Kapha) is produced when water, fire
and air mix in the life-air, separate from the body.
