Samana is located between the heart & the naval. It activates & controls the digestive system: the liver, intestines, pancreas, & stomach for transformation. On the physical level this relates to assimilation & distribution of nutrients. On an evolutionary level it relates to kundalini & expansion of consciousness.

This Prana is strengthened through the practice of Agnisara Kriya and Nauli. The practice of these two Kriyas prevents digestive problems and Diabetes. It also improves one’s resistance to infectious disease and cancer, due to the digestive fire that is awakened in the whole body, which purifies and cleans.

The most effective technique for awakening Samana Prana is Kriya Yoga. The practice of Kriya Yoga warms the entire body. This is due to the rising of Samana Prana. A very aware person can observe the aura of a Kriya practitioner becoming brighter and stronger with each round of practice.
