Lesson 1AIR

AIR (Vayu) - the gaseous form of matter. Mobile, dynamic, light, fine, subtle - it exists without form. All empty spaces are filled with air. Air flows freely throughout the body, controls breathing, feeds cells with oxygen and helps to give movement to biological functions. Air relates to the sense of touch, therefore, skin is the related sense organ and the hand is the organ of action. The air element corresponds to the anahata chakra, also called the heart chakra. Vayu is related with the actions of giving and receiving. Format: Just sound - audio Recommended position: This session can be experienced seated or lying down. Locked — subscribe to unlock

Lesson 3ETHER

ETHER (Aakash) - ever present; it is the space in which everything exists and acts. Fine, subtle, soft, light, porous, and smooth in quality. In the body, ether is found where there is empty space such as in the tubes and channels (srotas) of the body. Such empty spaces are found in blood and lymph vessels, openings, pores, and the intestinal tract. Aakash also contributes the sounds of the heart, lungs, intestines, and swallowing. Ether is space; all sound is transmitted through space and is related to the sense of hearing. The ear is the sense organ of hearing and since sound is produced through means of the vocal cords and mouth these are considered to be the organ of action related to the sense of hearing. Vishuddha chakra is located in the area of the throat and is directly related to sound and the ether element.

The bodily fluids move between the cells and through the vessels of the body carrying nutrients, wastes, antibodies and hormones. Water is related to the perception of taste and its sense organ is the tongue. The related sense organ is the genitals. Without water, neither the tongue nor genitals can function properly.
