Positive thoughts, higher feelings and yogic practices generate Positive thoughts, highe r feelings an d yogic practices generat e higher levels of prana. When the sexual energy is sublimated or transformed, substantial prana is conserved within the system and converted into ojas, a subtler form of energy. This energy accumulates in the brain and is utilized for creative and spiritual development. A yogi stores an abundance of prana within him, just as batteries store electricity. The megawatts of his prana radiate strength, health and vitality to all around him. He is a powerhouse of energy, providing prana to everyone who comes in contact with him. Swami Sivananda says, "Just as water flows from one vessel to another, prana flows like a steady current from a developed yogi towards weak persons."
