Do you know……… According to traditional Indian medicine and Vedic scriptures, there are 72,000 Nadis in human body. The Nadis refer to the network of channels through which the Prana (energies of the Subtle Body) said to flow. For a healthy body and mind it is important that prana flows in the body freely. When there is blockage or hinderance in the flow of prana, it messes up the whole system (creates Vyadhi). Out of all Nadis, 3 of them have special importance – IDA, PINGALA and SUSHUMNA

Sushumna: is the central channel that runs vertically from the base of the spine to the top of the head.

Ida: terminates in the LEFT nostril and is cooling, feminine, and calming. It has lunar energy and is associated with introverted qualities in the right hemisphere of the brain.

Pingala: terminates in the RIGHT nostril and is heating, masculine, and energizing. It has solar energy and is associated with extroverted qualities in the left hemisphere of the brain.

Ida and Pingala Nadis cross along the central Sushumna Nadi. The points of intersection of these 3 Nadis, makes a whirlpool of energy along the spine, called Chakras. We and everything around us is made up of energy. It includes layers of energy fields that surround the physical body. These interconnected metaphysical layers create the body’s electromagnetic field, also known as its aura. This energy connects us to one another, to the universe, allows us to attract love, health, positivity and joy. The energy rises from the base of the spine to the crown of the body. There are 7 main chakras in the human body:

Mooladhara (Root) Chakra: .is the first chakra at the base of the energy system, If a person operates from this energy center, then the person seeks security and focuses on survival.

Swadisthana (Sacral) Chakra: Considered the gate chakra for all fluidity. A person operating from the sacral chakra seeks pleasure and sex.

Manipura (Solar Plexus) Chakra: To foster positive energy for personal transformation and to keep belly fire at a control. If the energies are around manipura (behind Naval), then that person is a doer and enjoys power. Till here all the Chakras are found in other species also.

Anahata (Heart) chakra: Promote peace and harmony between your physical and spiritual worlds. The energy from the heart center emits pure love, creativity making the person very loving.

Vishuddhi (Throat) chakra: To purify your being and keep your emotional self-balanced. If your energies are dominant in vishuddhi (throat), you become non- judgmental.

Ajna (Third Eye) chakra: To purify your being and keep your emotional self balanced. If your energies are dominant in the third eye, a person is intellectual, intuitive and lives in harmony with everything around.

Sahasrara (Crown) chakra: People who attain enlightenment are represented with the halo. This is the ultimate state which you want to attain.

Collectively, our chakras keep us healthy and whole. When we experience “off” times in our lives or keep attracting “losers and negativity” into our personal world, it is generally a sign that chakras are misaligned or blocked. Unbalanced chakras can lead to a variety of physical, mental and spiritual ailments, dysfunctions as do each of the vital organs connected to the out-of-balance chakras.
