INTRODUCTION PET = Pranic Energization Technique Advanced Yogic meditation technique where we use our Prana Shakti to energize the whole body. It may strengthen the immune defense system of the body . Vyana is mainly used for energization in PET. It is developed by SVYASA and inspired from Prasna Upanishad.
FIVE KOSHAS The Panch Kosha are five layers of human existence, from the physical to the spiritual : 1. Annamaya Kosha : Physical body, sustained by food. 2. Pranamaya Kosha : Vital energy, governing breath and life force. 3. Manomaya Kosha : Mind and emotions, responsible for thoughts and feelings. 4. Vijnanamaya Kosha : Intellect and wisdom, for self-awareness and discernment. 5. Anandamaya Kosha : Bliss, the experience of joy & peace. Significance : connect with the true self (Atman)
PRANA The five pranas are vital life forces in the body: Prana : Governs respiration and heart function, centered in the head and chest. Apana : Controls elimination and reproductive functions, focused in the lower abdomen. Vyana : Regulates circulation, spread throughout the body. Udana: Governs speech, growth, and upward energy, centered in the throat. Samana: Manages digestion, located in the stomach. Significance : Balancing these pranas ensures physical, mental, and spiritual health, with practices like pranayama enhancing their harmony.
VYANA PRANA It is the vital force that circulates and distributes prana (life force) throughout the body. It moves energy outward and in all direction, distributing prana to all parts of the body. Function: All muscular movements, Nerve impulses, perspiration, circulation connecting and controlling all other pranas. It allows clear Passage for the movement of prana through the nadis. Vyana supports and balance other four pranas.

SHANTI MANTRA Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (chapter 1.4.14) सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः। सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चिद् दुःखभाग्भवेत्॥ ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः॥ Meaning: May all be happy. May all be free from illness. May all see what is auspicious. May no one suffer in any way.
STEPS 1- Prayer 2- Breath awareness 3- Recognition of Vyana 4- Movement and Rotation 5- Balancing and Energization 6- Silence 7- Resolve 8- Closing Prayer
STEP : 1 Opening Prayer: प्राणस्येदं वशे सर्वं त्रिदिवे यत्प्रतिष्ठितम् । मातेव पुत्रान्रक्शस्व श्रीश्च प्रज्ञां च विधेहि न इति ||
STEP : 2 Breath A wareness: Breath awareness Expanded awareness Increased sensitivity Stages of Breath Awareness: Pointed awareness – watch breath at tip of nose. Linear awareness – trace the breath from nostrils nasal track throat trachea bronchi lungs, and then back from lungs …. to nostrils.
Surface awareness: feel the cool and warm air during Inhalation and exhalation ( note - temperature aspects builds greater sensitivity and depth of perception) 3D awareness: Using bhramari to feel vibrations throughout body and synchronization of heart beat and pulse. 5-9 rounds for each stage.
E qualization of Breath: In PET we use Nadi Suddhi for balancing breath. In case there is drowsiness or blockage of breath in nostrils, one can perform alternate nostril Kapalabhati. Contra-indication : Empty stomach else digestive disord ers. Don’t bend spine, may result in catch or muscle sprain or even slip-disc. Avoid contortions of face, may result in muscle catch in face. Women during menstrual period and pregnancy to avoid. Persons with high BP, IHD, slip-disc, spondylosis, etc. to avoid.
Nadi-Shuddhi in PET: NADI SHUDDHI PRANAYAMA
Mudras Benefits: Mudras are used for gain further sensitization through recognizin g nerve impulses. Mudras evoke Prana and set it in different patterns; the physiology of mudras is yet to be fully understood. Mudras Used in PET: Mudra Name Image depicting it Steps involved Cin Mudra Join index finger and tip of thumb.
Chinmaya Mudra Press tip of forefinger on tip of thumb. Fold middle, ring and small fingers inwards pressing the palms. Adi Mudra Fold thumb inwards and press middle portion of palm. Fold and press all the four fingers on this thumb. Namaskar Mudra Join the 2 palms
R ecognize Nerve Impulses in PET: Seated position and relax , Hands on thighs. Adapt Cin mudra Observe pulse, heart beat and synchronization Open fingers and touch again recognizing nerve impulses going along hands to the brain Relax touch and release a few times tracing the nerve impulses. Chinmaya mudra press and release (repeat) feel the nerve impulses through the hand.Face smiling and whole body relaxed Adi mudra press and release (repeat) feel nerve impulses. Namaskara mudra press & release (repeat) feel the nerve impulses.
Difference between Nerve Impulse and Vyana: Nerve impulses have the following 2 limitations: Spatial limitation – Unidirectional; flows only thru nerves Time limitation – fixed speed (per type of nerve) Vyana has no such limitations: Can flow in all directions, even beyond the skin Speed can be anywhere from 0 to infinity.
STEP 4: Vyana Recognition: Move palms in & out (repeat), slowly to a distance of 2 cms and back to almost-touching (thin air gap). Feel the space in between palms getting sensitized. Rotate palms slowly – clockwise and anticlock wise. Feel the churning of Vyana. Repeat In & Out and Clockwise-Anti-clockwise. What is experienced? Somewhere in the body, Vyana shows up depending on which part of the body is most sensitive. Facilitate movement by moving the palm over the region where Vyana showed up.
Rotation and Energization: Place palm on knees. Move prana from right heel right calf muscle thigh muscles right buttock right low back right canal of spine. Move prana from right hand back-side similarly: arm shoulder join the earlier flow at neck. Move prana up the right back-side of head top of head and come down the right forehead right eye right nostril right portion of chin down neck right position of thorax muscles down abdomen to right thigh knee cap and all the way to the right foot, and similarly to right hand fingers. REPEAT this rotation on the left side. Now rotate the prana from both sides: Start from heels of both feet and hands and all the way up from backside and sweeping down from the head to the front side. Each and every organ of body is getting vitalized by Prana.
STEP: 5 B alance Vyana: Recognize if there is any imbalance of Prana between left and right sides; now balance it with your will power. Move prana from high density to regions with low pranic density. Feel the prana equally distributed to all parts of the body. STEP:6 Silence: Feel the prana around the body expanding and diffusing into the infinite blue sky resulting in experiencing silence and associated bliss. Dwell in silence longer and longer.
S TEP: 7 Resolution: A clear positive thought, well formulated, using minimum words. “I am very blissful” ; “I am full of energy”; “I am totally healthy”. Repeat 9 times with full faith. STEP: 8 Closing Prayer: ॐ सह नाववतु । सह नौ भुनक्तु । सह वीर्यं करवावहै । तेजस्वि नावधीतमस्तु मा विद्विषावहै । ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥
