Prana
(Sk.). The Life-Principle; the breath of Life. (TG)
Thy strength grows through prana. (LMG I, 52)
Read, and consider how many times even Christ
withdrew into solitude.
Even His Spirit had need of prana. (LMG I, 370)
It is good to be in the sunshine, but the starlit sky also brings harmony to the nerves. The moon, on the contrary, is not for us. The moon’s pure light affects the prana. The magnetism of the moon is great, but for repose it is not good. Often the moon evokes fatigue, like people who devour one’s vital energy. The manifestation of miraculous power increases during moonlight.
A pure prana must respond to the attraction, otherwise there is no miracle but a destruction of the vital treasure trove. (LMG II, p 32)
Matter is a condition of the spirit. But blood differs so greatly from its equivalent in the spirit, which is nurtured by prana, that the boundaries are broken throughout all the Worlds … The spirit, nurtured by prana, does not assimilate blood. (LMG II, pp 38-39)
Before using My medicines one must spend three years amidst prana.
(LMG II, p 133)
The moment of exit of the astral body is also helped by magnetic waves. Therefore a yogi needs sensitiveness to all the intangible performances of nature. For this the yogi needs, primarily, contact with prana. To effect this, the window should not be closed, except perhaps when the humidity is very dense. (AY, 194)
Imagine the Space containing Prana and Akasha. (INF I, 16)
The lungs, of course, do their work in inhaling, transmuting, and exhaling. These functions indeed suffuse the centers of the lungs with Prana. (INF I, 394)
Similarly strengthened with this hour is the red-golden light, which thus is closer to the golden sediments of prana. (H, 196)
Prana is like nourishment for the heart. (H, 568)
When the lower strata are so sullied, the emanations of the heights carry fragments of the sediments of prana. Prana cannot be produced artificially, but its natural sediments purify space. (H, 570)
Prana is purified by the highest Fire, and only this quality makes it creative. Yet even in the plains, even in the city squares, before expressing a decision, try to inhale as deeply as possible. In this inhalation perhaps a particle of the prana of Benefaction will reach you through all barriers. (FW I, 32)
Perhaps the seventh vitamin is Fire. It has often been clearly stated that pure air provides far more essential nourishment than city air. But by purity one should understand a particular fiery saturation. People in the mountains can live longer without food and without needing sleep. The nourishment of spirit, or Agni, can satisfy them without the need of heavy foods. Studies should be made of the nourishment by prana on heights. (FW I, 404)
In an hour of consternation one must know how to evoke even a momentary calm. Such calmness and but one breath of prana will provide a strong shield. (BR, 74)
Para-fohat is the fundamental, or primary psychic energy in its highest cosmic aspect, and Fohat is its next aspect in the manifested Universe. The same psychic energy manifested as life force is diffused everywhere as Prana. The time has come to bring into oneness the meaning of Primary Energy.
