AuroYajna continues the series of workshops titled "Towards Self Perfection” started in July 2021 as their first step towards Divine Life in Divine Body.
This series is based on Sri Aurobindo's message - "Divine Life cannot manifest without the Divine Body".
Part 1 of the series is "Perfection of the Body".
To have the body as a perfect instrument, every system of the body, viz. the digestive system, the neurological system, the cardiovascular system, and each body organ needs to be perfected and in harmony amongst themselves.
This month AuroYajna is concentrating on the Prana through the Pranic Body and hence this month it is “Yoga for Pranic Body”.
For centuries the ancient healers and wisdom keepers in several traditions had a keen understanding of the energetic body. The healing traditions from India, Japan, Tibet & China, as well as other countries all spoke of energy channels along which vital energy flowed.
Life was considered to be a bio-electrical and vibrational energy phenomenon and so health revolved around balancing energy through various means. This vital life force or “qi”, is composed of two kinds of forces, Shiva and Shakti, Purusha and Prakriti, yin and yang, and flows along a sophisticated network of energy pathways, or highways, circuiting the body.
Over 2000 years ago ancient cultures knew of the existence of these energy channels. They were called ‘nadis’ in India, ‘sen’ in Thailand, ‘meridians’, ‘channels’ or ‘vessels’ in Japan & China, and ‘channels’ in Tibet. In India, where many eastern healing arts developed, there were said to be 72 000 nadis or energy pathways.
“Pranayama, starting from the physical immobility and self-holding which is secured by Asana, deals more directly with the subtler vital parts, the nervous system. This is done by various regulations of the breathing, starting from equality of respiration and inspiration and extending to the most diverse rhythmic regulations of both with an interval of inholding of the breath.
Sri Aurobindo
If the nerve channels are quiet and clear, the only possible disturbance of the information is from or through the mind. Now the manas or sixth sense is in itself a channel like the nerves, a channel for communication with the buddhi or brain-force. The disturbance may happen either from above or from below. The information from outside1 is first photographed on the end organ, then reproduced at the other end of the nerve system in the citta or passive memory. All the images of sight, sound, smell, touch and taste are deposited there and the manas reports them to the buddhi. The manas is both a sense organ and a channel. As a sense organ it is as automatically perfect as the 
others, as a channel it is subject to disturbance resulting either in obstruction or distortion.
