The most important type of prana being is that which is taken into the body with the breath. The prana is distributed to all the body cells via energy meridians called nadis and these help to nurture the physical body and compose the 'subtle body', which is made up of 'koshas' or sheaths and the three 'gunas'. The nadis and prana are also related to the energy centres called chakras located at intervals along the spinal cord and the force known as Kundalini.
