Yoga Tip - Nadis, the Energy Transmitters Print E-mail
Written by H.H. Mahamandaleshwar Paramhans Maheshwarananda   
Nādīs are energy channels through which flows PRĀNA –  energy, life-force, consciousness. Within the human there is a subtle and perfect network of 72,000 Nādīs that distribute this life force throughout the whole body. On the physical level the Nādīs correspond to the nervous system, but their influence extends beyond this to the astral and spiritual planes of our existence.  If all the Nādīs are functioning correctly then we are healthy and generally feel happy. But nearly every one of us has some physical or mental problem, which means that some of the Nādīs are not working properly and need to be balanced.

Three Nādīs are of special importance - Idā, Pīngalā and Sushumnā
• Idā arises in the left side of the body and represents the moon principle.
• Pingalā begins on the right side of the body and symbolizes the sun principle.
• Sushumnā runs through the central channel of the spinal cord and represents the consciousness.
On the physical level Pingalā has its counterpart in the Sympathetic Nervous System, Idā in the Parasympathetic Nervous System, and Sushumnā in the Central Nervous System.
