Apana Vata – Vital Elimination Energy
Apana vata is the downward moving energy that governs the important process of removing waste products from our bodies and reproduction. Apana vata is located in the lower abdominal pelvic area and is responsible for defecation, urination, menstruation, ovulation, ejaculation, and childbirth. When apana vata is healthy we experience regular healthy elimination of stool, urine, and menstrual blood, as well as natural conception and birth.
Prana Vata - Vital Life Energy
Prana is the vital life force that energizes what is essential for all life. Prana vata is the inward movement of life force energy coming into our bodies. It’s the inhalation of oxygen, the digestion and assimilation of nutrients, and the perception of sensory input that connects our senses, mind, and body. Prana is directly responsible for life itself as it nourishes the vitality of all our cells.
