The term '''inner air''' or '''''lung''''' ([[Wyl.]] ''rlung''; Skt. ''prāṇa''), refers to the 'wind-energies' or 'psychic winds' that travel through the subtle channels or ''[[tsa]]'' of the body's [[psycho-physical system]], as outlined in the Tibetan Buddhist [[tantra|tantras]].

There are [[five root winds|five root]] and [[five branch winds]]. The winds that flow through all the channels except the central one are said to be impure and activate negative, dualistic thought patterns; the winds in the central channel are called "wisdom winds".

==Lung 'Disorder'==
The type of lung that is associated with what is colloquially called 'lung disease' or 'lung disorder' is the 'upward-moving lung' or ''gyengyu'', one of the five types of root wind. 

[[Tsoknyi Rinpoche]] teaches that this lung ideally resides four finger-widths below the navel, but travels upwards into the chest and brain when agitated.
