The breath (Prana) rises and falls the spine along the zodiac
rul-prana-breath-up-down-spinePrāṇa relevance
⚑ This is the single most explicit prana statement in the entire Frawley extraction: the breath-cycle is literally laid on the spine and indexed to the zodiac, with the two halves identified as inhalation/exhalation and lunar/solar. It directly couples the cosmic (signs) to the subtle body (the spinal breath), and caps at the breathless crown — the project's body↔cosmos axis stated as prana physiology. [MODERN — Frawley; rests on yoga doctrine of ida/pingala lunar/solar nadis, claimed-classical yoga-tantra underneath.]

- Statement
- The vital energy (breath, Prana or Chi) moves UP the spine following the six signs from Aquarius to Cancer — the 'lunar half of the zodiac' — governing inhalation and the development of lunar energy (cooling in nature, building up the body's tissues, anabolic). It moves DOWN the spine following the six signs from Leo to Capricorn — the 'solar half of the zodiac' — governing exhalation and the development of solar energy (warming, promoting functional activity). The seventh (crown) center is outside this cycle: the breathless state beyond time.
