Summary

Prana, or the vital energy, manifests in the body in various ways. Pranayam, explains Sadhguru, is a method to take charge of these manifestations, the pancha vayus. For one who takes charge of his prana, physiological health can be greatly improved, while psychological balance is 100% guaranteed. Set the context for a joyful, exuberant day with a short, powerful message from Sadhguru. Explore a range of subjects with Sadhguru, discover how every aspect of life can be a stepping stone, and learn to make the most of the potential that a human being embodies.
