Is Prana more tangible and rational than religion?

Since I began meditating two and a half years ago, I stumbled upon Prana. It’s part of Indian spiritual traditions and Hinduism, and it refers to the life force or vital energy that permeates us all. 

Obviously, it’s an abstract concept that with some training and can be felt by some, but is not physically measured or observed. It hasn’t much to do with religion or any sets of beliefs, practices, and rituals that are often centered around the worship of a higher power or powers. 

Religion can encompass a wide range of beliefs and practices, and its tangibility and rationality is said to vary vastly from one religion to another. I see neither tangible or rational elements in religion and I’m totally convinced that all religions are irrational while some are just absurd. Ultimately, the tangibility and rationality of religion has to depend on an individual's beliefs and perspective. 

I personally find the concept of Prana to be tangible and rational based on my spiritual experiences and the sensations I have felt as a result. In my religious experience, I have never encountered concrete signs in the area tangibility based on the teachings, doctrines, and interpretations that were presented to me. 

This is why discovering and feeling that form of life force has been a game-changer for me. I use it as a way to recharge my “batteries” so to speak, and as time goes by, I will be able to share if it’s been as effective a form of meditation as I suspect it is. Just stay tuned!
