Meaning of the cell
Apana is, in contrast to prana, the downward-moving energy responsible for bodily elimination. It is the main force that promotes purification of the organism. The mixing of prana and apana releases a huge amount of energy, awakening the energy that lies dormant at the base of the spine and is called Kundalini. This mixing of prana and apana leads to the rejuvenation of the yogi's body; he becomes full of life, enduring, and energetic, as at sixteen years of age.
