Health also depends upon a strong vital, which imparts energy and vigor to the physical body. And in Ayurveda true health is of the spiritualized vital nature, not of the egoistic vital.

=== Prana and the Koshas ===
All the five sheaths are pervaded by prana, which nourishes and sustains them and maintains their appropriate relationship. The movement from one kosha to another is also achieved with the help of prana.
The pranamaya kosha acts as the neutral space, allowing one to move from annamaya to manomaya, manomaya to vijnanamaya, vijnanamaya to anandamaya, and so on. One must use the faculty of prana shakti in order to move from any one state to another. Therefore, the dimension of energy is like the neutral space in the gear box. With the activation of prana, one gains access to the physical, mental, psychic and spiritual dimensions.<ref name=":1" />
