U—WORDS on the WAY
Ucchatan ooch-chat-tan)
(ooch
Var: Uchatan
Sense: ‘Separation, dejection, uprooting, and mental distraction
caused by negative incantations projected by another.’
Classical texts offer mantras for the confusing the minds of
enemies, making them act badly, or causing them meet with
failure and insult, or to drive them (or birds and animals) away
from their homes. Although the scriptures sanction such
methods against enemies of the state, or for self protection,
spiritually such practices are ultimately self-defeating as the
karmic repercussion, in the fullness of time, brings the same
effect upon oneself.
Udåna
(ud-dhar-nah)
Var: Udaana
Sense: “Upward-moving life-current’— one of the five vital
‘airs’ in pranayama.
Air within the body, which is pranically charged and moves
upwards through the chest and throat into the head.
Physiologically udana is that force by means of which one
speaks, burps, vomits, weeps, laughs, etc. Psychologically, it
corresponds to the capacity to comprehend ideas.
