`So as far as the difference between Od and Prana, is our Od our individualized expression of the non-individualized Prana?`

>     generally outwardly gregarious and active, and one with a weak Od is
>     passive and shy.

>     These three aspects of the Od work in unison to produce the overall Od.

>     One place where Bardon speaks of the Od is in the little book "Questions
>     and Answers", under the Astral heading (page 50, question #21). This
>     question concerns astral healing methods and gives an important clue as
>     to what Bardon means by Od:

>     "We draw this accumulated vital energy directly from the universe and
>     direct it into the astral body of the ailing person without passing it
>     through our own body. Through this we prevent the weakening of our own
>     vitality and at the same time prevent the mixing of our Od (character)
>     with the Od of the ailing person; otherwise we can infect ourselves with
>     the negative attributes of the patient."

>     While Bardon speaks here only of the Od in relation to astral healing,
>     the same can be said of the mental Od in mental healing and the physical
>     Od during physical healing.
