NADI

The function of the chakras is to control and direct all aspects of our Being and to supply energy for the functioning of the organism: the organs and the nature of the Being.

They are based on Nadi - Ida, Pingala, Sushumna. They resemble arteries, veins, capillaries, bronchioles, nerves, lymphatic ducts, etc.

Prana = universe - Nadi flow

Nadi are cosmic vital, seminal, mental and intellectual channels.
They are important for feelings, consciousness and spiritual aura- Ethereal body.

Ida and Pingala = are the two hemispheres of the brain.
Ida nadi manages all mental processes.
Pingala nadi manages all important processes.

1. Ida- (Sasi) - comfort, lunar energy
                       - channel on the left - woman
                       - the flow of energy begins from the 1st chakra muladhara

Ida is associated with lunar energy. Idā has a lunar nature and feminine energy with a cooling effect. It flows from the left testicle to the left nostril and corresponds to the river Ganges.

Weak left side: extremism, negative aspects apply, pressure on the brain and collapse, epilepsy, insanity

2. Pingala- (Mihira) - solar energy
                                     - is an extroverted (active) solar nadi
                                     - channel on the right - man
                                     - corresponds to the right side of the body and the left side of the brain

Pingala is associated with solar energy. The word pingala means "orange" in Sanskrit.
Pingala has a solar nature and masculine energy. It has a warming effect and flows from the right testicle to the right nostril. It corresponds to the Yamuna River. It represents the future and the higher consciousness.

Weak right side- negative aspects: selfishness, wanting to control, exaggeration, vanity, bigotry, asceticism

3. Sushumna- (Gunas) - medium channel
