Trividha Nadi's - Ida, Pingala and Sushumna

By Tanmay Bhati -
 
The fundamental question is, in a day, how much of your thoughts, emotion, physical activity, breath, heartbeat and everything else is conscious. - Sadhguru



The Nadi's that  has always kept me captivating. It's like when i was in school, I heard about Ida, Pingala and Sushumna Nadi. But then these were mere mysteries, because Yoga was then unknown to me. Then after years of practicing, the series of asana, and keeping awareness of breath while maintaining the mahamudra, I began feeling the zilt of these Nadi's. I came across a subtle feeling that can only be felt and cant be explained. The left and right part inside my body are being distributed in genealogical form. It made me sensitive to vibration, and these vibrations were happening in these nadi's that brought change in me, a change impossible to explain with mere words. - Tanmay Bhati 



Ida, Pingla and Sushumna Nadi


If we are not living in our bodies, honoring them as our temple. We are closing off the divine channels (Nadis) that run through us. Additionally when we are not in good physical shape, we limit our enjoyment of our life experience. This yoga is spiritual and physical. - Author, Dashama Konah Gordon.


Nadi, is derived from "Nad Dhatu" in Sanskrit, which means to flow something inside a structure. Thus, from many nadis inside a human body Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna are the chief nadis as a whole. These nadis meet at a point at Ajna chakra, also known as the third eye chakra, located bw the forehead. However, Sushumna nadi is hidden and is in connection with the nervous system of the body alaong with the Ida and the Pingal

Nadi's as the Life Force -

There are about 72,000 nadis (subtle channels of prana [energy]) that convey the life force in a human being. Ida, pingala, and sushumna are also called the three principal nadi's. The ending point of the three main nadi's is brahmarandhra (the “Brahmic aperture”), at the crown of the head. 

    In the state of nirvikalpa samadhi, part of the energies passing through these three channels is absorbed in the single para or Amrita nadi.


Ida - 

It functions to control all mental processes of human mechanisms. It is related to the left nostrils and is situated or initiated from the left of Sushumna, revolving and meeting it at Ajna. It is in connection with the parasympathetic activities of the body.

Pingala -

It gives physical strength, energy, vitality and efficiency to the body. It is at the Sushumna's right side, which also meets it at Ajna Chakra. It manages the sympathetic activities of the body.  

Sushumana - 

This Nadi is hidden, and is initiated from the root chakra, also called the Mooladhar chakra and ends at the Brahmarandhra. Sushumana is in connection with the Spinal column and its activities. 

Further studies indicated that these nadis are in connection with the nervous system and have an anatomical location within the body.

"Listen to the Un-struck Sounds and What Sifts Through That Music"- Rumi An unstruck sound, deep inside the matter, when closely examined through magnification, can bump your ears with the Soundless Sound of vibrations, These are the strings of the quarks, or so, The Anahad Naad, a cosmic sound, that depicts a completeness of oneself, One who can hear this Naad, is so extrasensory perceptible, that he can know the entire working of the cosmos, and attains Nirvikalpa Samadhi. -Tanmay Bhati   Anahada Naad, An Un-struck Sound -     If you started out knowing everything theoretically, then there is no magic or wonder occurring in the cosmos. Here, I've connected the String Theory with the so-called Anahad Naada, a soundless sound. Since every particle in the universe, whether it contains life or not, is vibrating constantly. Additionally, practically everything in the universe has a fundamental sound that we are unable to perceive with our usual senses. As we move closer to t

  Energy and Kundalini Everything around us, including the silent mimicry of trees during the rainy season, the flow of water, the beauty of a rainbow, the free flow of an artist at his highest level of precision, the dance of the peacock, and the fragrance of a flower, transpires without flow when we are in our actual conditions, unquestionably in its most natural state, this is what Kundalini means. Kundalini awakening is not a process, it is the transformation of a physical being to an energy being, more subtly.   A 2017 study published in the Journal of Transpersonal Psychology looked at the connection between spiritual experiences and Kundalini activation. The research discovered a variety of spiritual experiences, including mystical encounters, feelings of oneness with the universe, and heightened intuition, was linked to Kundalini rising. Kundalini" means "coiled serpent." At the base of the spine, robust and dormant energy is thought to reside. The chakras, or en
