Vyana Vata – Vital Circulatory Energy
Vyana vata is one among the five types of vata dosha that circulates throughout the body. It’s responsible for circulating and distributing blood, air, nutrients, nerve signals, and hormones that directs all functions. The word Vyana in Sanskrit means “outward moving”, which indicates vyana vata moves from the center of the body to the peripheral, this includes all brain activity.
Samana Vata – Vital Digestive Energy
Samana vata governs our agni or digestive strength and assimilation of nutrients for cellular metabolism. Samana vata is located in the lower stomach and small intestine and plays a major role in igniting our agni. From the moment we take in food it is responsible for secreting the digestive enzymes that break down food and separate the nutrients from the waste materials. Foods that are light and easy to digest along with herbs like ginger, black pepper, cumin, ajwain and hingvastak help the power of Samana Vata.
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.
