Nadis

The channels and passages through which the Pranashakti goes all over the body. There is not even one part of the body which is not connected to one of these nadis. As per Hata yoga, there are 3500 nadis all over the body. 14 are mainly known, out of which three are very important and they are: (i) Sushumna (ii) ida, and (iii) Pingala.

Sushumna: This nadi starts from the base of the spine and goes straight up along the spinal column to the base of the skull, reaching the brain. This is represented by white color and fire as its symbol.

Ida: Ida has a blue color and is represented by the moon as its symbol. This nadi starts on the left side of the base of the spine and reaches the left nostril. The Tantras describe the left side as containing the feminine, creative, emotional and peaceful aspects of nature. Due to the feminine aspect of Ida, it is considered to be full ofmaternal energy. It nourishes and purifies the entire body and mind which makes one alert and fit for advanced meditation.

Pingala: This nadi starts on the right side of the base of the spine and reaches the right nostril. As per Yogic texts the right side is considered the male aspect of nature and is predominated by raw and physical.
