Pranayama, controlling the mind through the breath, has been practiced around the world for thousands of years. With continued practice comes a growing awareness of prana, a subtle energy in the body whose movement can be controlled through breath.This dynamically reflective gilded microetching depicts the movement of prana in the body as the viewer walks around it. When walking from left to right, the “inhale” prana is withdrawn from the extremities, into the central channel, and upwards. When walking from right to left, the “exhale” prana moves back down the central channel and into the extremities.
