Life Channel (Pranic Tube) Activation
Bring vitality to your “life channel!” The pranic tube is an energetic pathway that runs up through the center of our body…it is also called “the life channel.” As its name implies, it is a source of prana, or life force. Prana comes down from above, through the center of the crown of your head. From below, prana comes up through the perineum, between your anus and gentitals. The entry points are smaller than the width of a hair, but once in the body the pranic tube is believed to be around 1″ around.
True Pranic Breathing
Some believe that true pranic breathing is through the pranic tube. It is not involved with breath from the mouth at all!
To help facilitate pranic breathing, imagine a straw at the top of your head, and at your base drinking in the energy from above and below!
The pranic tube is not connected to the spine as is the shushuma (also known as the Central Channel or Djed, and the source of energy to activate the chakras and carry kundalini), although it connects via the torus and hara system. There is massive amount of confusion and misinformation on the Internet and in books about this.
When doing visualizations remember that energy follows awareness. Focus on the area in your body described, the energy will go there.

Here is a wonderful blog about the pranic tube – and a variation on this meditation – from my friend Anne Ward, in Scotland.
