Meaning of the cell
Vyana is the energy that distributes prana throughout the human body, through the lungs and all life-support systems. It is responsible for blood flow, heartbeat, for the eyes filling with tears, and for the body sweating to provide thermoregulation.
Oxygen and prana are mixed, absorbed by the body, and enter the bloodstream. Then this energy travels through the body and returns to the veins with the help of vyana, which carries this blood back to the heart, cleansing and restoring.
Vyana is energy, the vital wind,
It spreads prana throughout the body.
...Vyana is a participant in spiritual growth.
If you are restrained in deeds and in thoughts,
Vyana will raise the energies from below.
If vyana is sufficient, you are strong and fresh.
If vyana is in excess, you will be able to heal those close to you.
