five winds are:
The life-sustaining wind that resides in the head chakra, governs the bodily functions and sustains life. It is the wind that permits actions such as breathing, swallowing, sneezing and spitting.
The ascending wind that resides in the throat chakra, whose function is to produce sound when we talk, gives us a pleasant appearance, makes us strong and active and is responsible for memory.
The pervasive wind that resides at the heart chakra, pervades the whole body and allows for all movements.
The fire-like wind that resides in the navel chakra, allows for the functioning of the internal organs (heart, liver, intestines...); its main function is the digestion. It distinguishes the nutrients from the wastes in the food that we eat.
The finest part of the food that we eat is transformed into blood, bones, muscles an so on (the seven constituents). This wind allows for the process of transformation.
The descending wind that resides in the secret chakra, flows in the bladder, in the intestines and in the genital organs; its function is to expel sperm, menses and urine.
