Ojas

Refined vital energy, the subtlest essence of body tissues. Together with prana and tejas, it forms the triad of subtle energies that sustain life.

Ojas relates to immunity, vitality, and inner radiance. It is considered the final product of perfect digestion, both physical and mental. Brahmacharya practices and balanced living preserve and increase ojas.

In Haṭha Yoga, the conservation of ojas is fundamental to sustaining intense practice and facilitating deep meditative states.
