Solar Prana: What you should know 

Prana

from the Work of the Tibetan (Djwhal Khul), through Alice A. Bailey

Contact with the sun should be much sought after, and the vitalization that comes through its rays. The sun kills all germs and frees from disease.
(Letters on Occult Meditation p334)

The main centre for the reception of prana at present is a centre between the shoulder blades.
(Treatise on Cosmic Fire p98)

(1) Solar prana - this is that vital and magnetic fluid which radiates from the sun, and which is transmitted to man's etheric body...It is... emitted as powerful radiations, which are applied directly through certain plexi in the uppermost part of the etheric body. ...

(2) Primarily the functions of the etheric body are three in number:
   1. It is the receiver of prana. 
   2. It is the assimilator of prana.
   3. It is the transmitter of prana.
   (Treatise on Cosmic Fire p93)

(3) The pranic emanations of the sun are absorbed by the etheric body, via certain centres which are found principally in the upper part of the body, from whence they are directed downwards to the centre which is called the etheric spleen. ... The main centre for the reception of prana at present is a centre between the shoulder blades.
(Treatise on Cosmic Fire p98)

(4) The more refined and rarefied the form, the better a receiver of prana it will be, and the less will be the resistance found to the uprising of kundalini at the appointed time.
(Treatise on Cosmic Fire p103)

(5) The race suffers from certain incapacities, which may be described as follows: -first: Inability to tap pranic currents, owing to the unhealthy lives passed by so many.... The cure is apparent-the bringing about of better living conditions, the employment of more appropriate clothing, and the adoption of a freer and more salubrious mode of living. When the pranic rays can find free access to the shoulders, and to the diaphragm, the subnormal state of the average spleen will adjust itself automatically. -second: Over-ability to tap pranic currents.... The etheric body receives prana or solar rays too rapidly, passes it through and out of the system with too much force, and this leaves the victim a prey of inertia and devitalisation.
(Treatise on Cosmic Fire p106/7)

(6) The healer or healing group must remember that it is not mental energy only with which he works. He, for himself,

a. Creates a thought of healing power.
b. That created focal point of concentrated, attention, becomes the directing agent for the healing force, or prana.
c. This prana is neither mental nor astral in nature. It is pure planetary substance or living essence, and is that substance of which the vital body of the planet is made.
d. The healer or the healing group, appropriates as much of this substance as possible, and by the power of their united thought, direct it to and through the center involved. Healing work is circulatory and this must not be forgotten. The pranic energy (thought directed) is not sent to the centre and there permitted to accumulate. It is passed through the centre, first of all to the organ involved, or the area where the difficulty is found, and then is sent out to the body as a totality. It might be regarded as a system of flushing, with a purifactory and stimulating effect.
(Esoteric Healing, p.287)

(7) Prana might be defined as the life-essence of every plane in the sevenfold area which we call the cosmic plane...
(Telepathy and the Etheric Vehicle, p154)

“The kundalini rises from muladhara chakra up a subtle channel at the base of the spine (called Sushumna), and from there to top of the head merging with the sahasrara, or crown chakra. When kundalini Shakti is conceived as a goddess, then, when it rises to the head, it unites itself with the Supreme Being (Lord Shiva). Then the aspirant becomes engrossed in deep meditation and infinite bliss.”

In the quote above, we read,“kundalini Shakti is conceived as a goddess”.

Why is it that the first initial stages of the Kundalini arousal or awakening is always symbolically depicted by a female?

According to the ancient Hindu texts, the body’s potential energy found coiled up 3½ times at the base of the spine, is symbolised by a coiled female serpent known as the Shakti goddess.

She is also known as the “Kundalini Goddess”.

Shakti means ‘creative energy’.

Basically, the Shakti represents the Kundalini energy – the life force from the Void (source-centre of all creation) – known as prana (Sanskrit) and is comparable with the Chinese energy Ch’i, also the aether, and relatively, the zero-point energy of contemporary theoretical physics - being the ground state energy of consciousness itself – the “nothing” that is also Everything . . . the limitless, infinite energy of the Void from which the material world is made manifest.

Is this connection with ‘zero-point energy’ justified?

Well the word ‘prana’ comes from pra meaning, ‘first,’ and na, meaning, “smallest unit of energy”.

So ‘prana’ means the “original smallest unit of energy”, and this is synonymous with ‘zero-point energy’, as well as the proto-atom that represents the source-centre of creation; the seed from which the universe first became manifest in the so-called “big bang”.

Prana is therefore the ‘first energy;’ the creative force, the primal, neutral energy of consciousness itself before it becomes divided into the positive and negative, polar opposites of which the physical world, in all its expressions of the same duality, is composed.

“Shakti is from the Sanskrit shak – “to be able”, “meaning sacred force or empowerment – is the primordial cosmic energy and represents the dynamic forces that are thought to move through the entire universe in Hinduism.”

In the study of the etheric body and prana lies the revelation of the effects of those rays of the sun which (for lack of better expression), we will call "solar pranic emanations." These solar pranic emanations are the produced effect of the central heat of the sun approaching other bodies within the solar system by one of the three main channels of contact, and producing on the bodies then contacted certain effects differing somewhat from those produced by the other emanations. These effects might be considered as definitely stimulating and constructive, and (through their essential quality) as producing conditions that further the growth of cellular matter, and concern its adjustment to environing conditions; they concern likewise the internal health (demonstrating as the heat of the atom and its consequent activity) and the uniform evolution of the form of which that particular atom of matter forms a constituent part. Emanative prana does little in connection with [79] form building; that is not its province, but it conserves the form through the preservation of the health of its component parts. Other rays of the sun act differently, upon the forms and upon their substance. Some perform the work of the Destroyer of forms, and others carry on the work of cohering and of attracting; the work of the Destroyer and of the Preserver is carried on under the Law of Attraction and Repulsion. Some rays definitely produce accelerated motion, others produce retardation. The ones we are dealing with here - pranic solar emanations - work within the four ethers, that matter which (though physical) is not as yet objectively visible to the eye of man. They are the basis of all physical plane life considered solely in connection with the life of the physical plane atoms of matter, their inherent heat and their rotary motion. These emanations are the basis of that "fire by friction" which demonstrates in the activity of matter.

Finally, in the study of the etheric body and prana comes comprehension of the method of logoic manifestation, and therefore much of interest to the metaphysician, and all abstract thinkers. The etheric body of man holds hid the secret of his objectivity. It has its correspondence on the archetypal plane, - the plane we call that of the divine manifestation, the first plane of our solar system, the plane Adi. The matter of that highest plane is called often the "sea of fire" and it is the root of the akasha, the term applied to the substance of the second plane of manifestation. Let us trace the analogy a little more in detail, for in its just apprehension will be found much of illumination and much that will serve to elucidate problems both macrocosmic and microcosmic. We will begin with man and his etheric body.

The etheric body has been described as a network, permeated with fire, or as a web, animated with golden light. It is spoken of in the Bible as the "golden bowl." [80] It is a composition of that matter of the physical plane which we call etheric, and its shape is brought about by the fine interlacing strands of this matter being built by the action of the lesser Builders into the form or mould upon which later the dense physical body can be molded. Under the Law of Attraction, the denser matter of the physical plane is made to cohere to this vitalized form, and is gradually built up around it, and within it, until the interpenetrating is so complete that the two forms make but one unit; the pranic emanations of the etheric body itself play upon the dense physical body in the same manner as the pranic emanations of the sun play upon the etheric body. It is all one vast system of transmission and of interdependence within the system. All receive in order to give, and to pass on to that which is lesser or not so evolved. Upon every plane this process can be seen.
