The Pranas in practice
The practice of Ānandasana and Vajrāsana awakens vital energies for health.
Ānandasana is the blissful posture, not the dead body's posture. It involves stretching completely on the back to aid digestion and remove stomach tension. Vajrāsana is a most powerful posture. It strengthens the Vajranāḍī, the body's trunk, which supports immunity and life force. The practice balances prāṇa and apāna energies. Weak apāna śakti leads to constipation and urinary issues. Specific mudrās and exercises like nauli strengthen these energies. Correct practice regulates prāṇa throughout the body, purifying organs and relieving stress which originates from the stomach.
"Vajrāsana is one of the most powerful postures. It is strengthening first our Vajranāḍī."
"And also the constipation, because of the apāna śakti, is less."
