how pranic energy works

Prana is sentient and intuitive, but it is not self-aware - this is key, because pranic energy is the essence that allows creation to be manifested through conscious self-awareness.

Everything in the Universe is a manifestation of consciousness exerting its power to create, harnessing pranic energy as fuel / building blocks for its creation.

Think of it this way: pranic energy is 'smart material' that has a basic operating system pre-installed to run Apps by all kinds of users.

A tree is a user. So is a rock. A forest (made-up of many trees) is a higher user, same for a mountain (many rocks) - you get the picture.

Different levels of self-awareness, or consciousness - and Apps.

You, on the other hand, are a super-user, because you're the most complex form of consciousness here - and with access to the most (complex) Apps.

Now whereas the tree and the rock - with their lower levels of consciousness - use their (simple) Apps to the fullest extent (i.e. a tree is always a perfect tree and performs its functions in perfect harmony), more often than not, you don't.

We're all just human, right?

Some of our Apps work better than others (in general), especially those that run in the background, like our 'body' App. And sometimes others like our 'relationships' App or our 'career' App or our 'life experience' App or our 'abilities' App, not as well as we'd like them to.

Not to their fullest extent. Not to our fullest potential.

And in some cases, an App plug-in you really want is simply greyed-out, either not available to download now or installed but not accessible (yet) - or installed and accessible, but without the latest updates.

Because like someone wise once said, "we're not human beings - we are human becoming".

So even though Pranic energy is infinitely available across the Universe and constantly flows through us all the time - powering our Apps - it only does so to the extent that our individual Apps 'let the flow through', as well as the overall flow of our collective Apps as a whole.

In other words, Pranic energy flows through the bottleneck of our body-mind-soul connection. As our consciousness expands, so does the bottleneck, and so does the amount of Pranic energy that flows through (and into) us... And so does our ability to interact with its flow.
