Abstract
Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a high occurrence
condition in case of amputees. It is experienced by 50-80% of persons who
undergo amputations. This condition is found to be challenging to address under
available neuroanatomical models which are purely based on the physical
insights. This paper proposes yogic management for trauma based PLP through
qualitative model as viewing obstructed pranic flow—blocked vital bioenergetics
flow (Prana) in the subtle pranic body when traumatic amputation is done.
Interconnecting subtle pranic energy perspectives, PLP arises from obstructed
bioenergetics stream flow in Nadis and Pranic areas, magnified by disturbing
emotional trauma. Adaptive and Customized yoga practices (Shatkarmas, Yogic
Asanas, Pranayama, and Dhyana) theoretically rebalance flow, release pranic
flow, and enhance holistic reintegration. This theoretical model highlights
treatment-resistant areas of PLP and proposed yoga's superiority and efficacy
in establishing bioenergetics layers beyond cortical reorganization.
