Prana, Ki, Chi, Life Force
« on: March 22, 2007, 12:11:21 AM »
What is Prana, Ki, Chi, or Life Force?
Prana means "first unit".
It is the first manifestation of consciousness in matter.  In the string theory of modern physics, the miniscule, subatomic energy strings thought to be the building blocks of everything in the universe might well be analogous to prana. In any case, we know that influencing prana (the life force) in the human  body has significant effects on our nervous system, and our experience.

Meditation is a way of influencing prana with the mind taking the
lead. The human mind arises from a flow of energy through the nerves
of the brain. In meditation, we systematically allow that energy
(prana) to become still, which brings us to the underlying cause of
that energy. We experience it as pure silent bliss consciousness.
