Module 6: Stage 5 – SUN, Dawning of Higher Perception
At the SUN stage we are ready (a.k.a. relaxed and stable in our body and mind) to perceive and work with the subtle power of yoga - PRANA.
At step 5 - Dawning of Higher Perception, our body is no longer bothering us, and mind’s vrittis are no longer disturbing our discerning capacity (Viveka) – the pranic dimension of our experience moves to the forefront. We now become aware of post-effect of doing asana.

At step 6 – Expansion, cultivation of Prana. Having developed pranic sensitivity at step 5, we can start shaping our experience of life now. Sankhya philosophy affirms that prana is the source of manifest reality.
So now we are ready to start sourcing a new reality for ourselves by working with prana: going after energy we need by utilizing:
- diet and lifestyle (ayurveda) – continuing conversation around Ayurvedic nutrition
- asana, bandha, mudra and kriya (yoga)
- pranayama (prana vidya)
This energetic dimension is felt after we finish the asana practice, be it 1 pose or entire sequence. We are now cultivating capacity we need without loosing the capacity we have.
What’s in this module:
- Vayus – PRANA and VYANA (as both are brahmana inducing and expansive)
- PITTA dosha, as it represents the SUN stage – offering the fire of intelligence (higher perception) and expansive quality necessary for evolution
- elevate our Daily Ritual to a new level: Energy Management
