According to Ayurveda, prana is our life energy that flows in the body in a large number, 72,000, energy channels - nadis. They also have special connection points where body, mind and consciousness meet and also where the connection between the individual and the cosmos is found. These points are called marma points. There are 107 such points, and together with the self, there are then 108. Three of these are overarching "mahamarmas": Sthapani in the forehead, Hridaya in the heart and Basti in the lower abdomen. Keeping the marma points healthy and robust is among the most important things one can do for good health. An excellent way to do that is to do yoga exercises. The original yoga exercises are designed to stimulate the marma points. So feel free to do yoga exercises calmly, quietly, without effort and with innocent attention to the body and how it feels.
