Clearing
the Channels
Nadis,
the Channels of Life force Energy
by Bhavika
…I
used to visit a homeopath to treat a recurring problem. She would diagnose
the cause by checking my pulse, also known as Nadi Pariksha (pulse examination).
Surprisingly, she would point out the right causes, simply by examining the
energy flow in the nadis.
In
ancient Indian medicine, Nadis are the channels or energy pathways that carry
Prana or life force throughout the body and they connect at special energy
points called chakras. The Sanskrit term ‘Nadi’ comes from the root ‘Nad,’
which means motion, flow, or vibration. Just how veins and arteries are
important for the healthy functioning of our physical body, Nadis weave through
our physical nerves as well as the subtle circuitry (yoga nadis) of the mind,
of the self, of the consciousness matrix that supports our physical presence
from invisible dimensions of existence.

Prana
needs to flow freely through the system to be healthy; when it becomes weak or
congested, it leads to poor mental and physical health. Often painful life
experiences lead to blockages and ultimately health woes, so opening up these
channels is important for our overall well-being. The body is filled with
innumerable Nadis that cannot be counted.
Tantric
wisdom states that there are 72,000 Nadis in the human body; 14 are principal
nadis of which Sushumna, Ida and Pingala are considered to be most important. Nadis
are energy channels that carry prana life force throughout our body Nadis are
energy channels that carry prana throughout our body
The
video below will give you a better understanding of nadis and its functioning
in our body.
Ida nadi
Ida, associated with
the energy of the moon,
represents the feminine aspect of our personality and is often shown as white.
It is also the Yin element in Chinese philosophy. Ida controls the function of
parasympathetic nervous system which calms the mind and body, because it is
related to emotions, feelings and memories. When Ida becomes too strong or
dominant, tiredness, depression, introversion, and an inability to see things
with a clear perspective can take over.
Ida
nadi channels energy through left nostril, pingala nadi channels through right
nostril.
Pingala nadi
While
Pingala, associated with energy of the sun, represents the masculine aspect of our
personality and is often shown as red. It controls the sympathetic nervous
system, and stimulates activities and planning of body and mind. Pingala nadi
is responsible for the logical, rational and analytical intellect. Pingala is
also the Yang element in Chinese philosophy. When Pingala is overused, due to
the hustle and bustle of city life, we can have difficulty sleeping,
concentrating or we can become anxious, irritable, and impulsive. Ida and
Pingala start and end to the left and to the right of the Sushumna
respectively, moving in spirals like the DNA helix, crossing at each chakra or
energy portal.
Anahata
Menon, shamanic healer and mystic at Anahata Foundation, explained, “It is the
interaction between these two distinct yet complementary energy channels that
controls our mental processes, intuition and the activity that takes place
between the left and right hemisphere of our brain. The sacred union between
the male (solar or day) and female (lunar or night) aspects of our spiritual nature
forms the basis of most evolutionary esoteric paths.”
Sushumna
Sushumna
is the central channel of energy in the human body that runs from the
base of the spine to the crown of the head and carries Kundalini energy, the
primal evolutionary force within, upwards as it is awakened through the
practice of Yoga and meditation. Sushumna nadi only opens and flows freely when
Ida and Pingala nadis are balanced and clear, thus the purification of all
three nadis are important for the overall health, wellness of the body and
mind, and one can also experience spiritual growth.
Anahata
said, “However, as a spiritualist, even though I personally enjoy all the
technicalities of ancient wisdom and esoteric arts, I don’t obsess over them.
If our spiritual urge or intent is aligned to infinite expansion of awareness,
potentials and consciousness, to love, to higher principles of freedom and
balance for the highest good of all, then any sincere spiritual practice, be it
yoga or plant spirit medicine, drum medicine or reiki, should support this
process effectively.
As
humanity makes a big shift of consciousness from the Collective Mind to the
Collective Heart, I believe that the subtle technologies of our physical and
etheric bodies will unlock or reveal themselves to us and spontaneously restore
or repair themselves to a state of optimum balance and health.”
In traditional
Chinese medicine, a meridian is a path through which the life-energy or qi flows
To
determine the flow of current at any particular time note the flow of breath in
the nostrils. It the left nostril has a greater flow of air, then ida nadi is
predominant. When the flow is greater in the right nostril, then pingala is predominant.
If the flow is equal, then sushumna is ruling. Hatha Yoga is a yoga technique
that focuses on bringing this balance.
Meditation,
Pranayam, breath work and sound (nada or swara yoga) healing are different
paths that one can explore to achieve this balance as well. surya namaskara is
a common sequence of hatha yoga asanas Surya namaskara is a common sequence of
Hatha yoga asanas. Even traditional Chinese medicine recognise the importance of
nadis or better known as, meridians, and work with a similar system of subtle
energy meridians like in acupuncture, acupressure and body works.
Ancient
wisdom, be it Indian Ayurveda, Yoga or Chinese meridians, the purpose is of
self-realization and this knowledge provides deeper understanding of the inner
landscapes that can be used to transform our lives!

The Five Rites of Rejuvenation
by James Borges, BSRA
#B0093,
"The Eye of
Revelation"
The
Five Rites are a form of simple stretches that among many things stimulate the
gland of the body to increase in vitality and stamina. The Rites are not
rigorous exercises. The Five Rites are simple postures that activate the body's
nervous system on the etheric level to restore optimal health. The glands are
key components in the nervous system. George Crile shows in "The
Phenomena of Life" (TPOL) how the glands govern the bodies electrical
systems:
"It
is at once clear that there is within the organism an energy-controlling system
which is activated by the special senses primarily. Theoretically, this system would
consist of the special senses, the brain, the adrenal-sympathetic system and
the thyroid gland." Ruth Drown suggests that the glands are conductors of
ether or vital force. A very interesting book called "Hindu
Secret of Virility and Rejuvenation" (HSOVR) published by The Basic
Science Fellowship suggested the idea that each rite triggers a gland and
stimulates it in a gentle manner.
Dr
Drown's observations combined with this idea led to the conclusion that these
rites develop the glands and thus the body's ability to receive the vital
force, or ether that is constantly descending into the brain and through the
entire body via the glandular system as electricity.
The
Five Rites as given by Peter Kelder do not refer to ether, glands, or chakras
but simply to Vortexes. The connection of the vortexes to the glands is no mere
coincidence; this is an ancient borderland science. The glands and the nerve
plexus are the physical manifestations of the chakras. I imagine the colorful
wheels depicted in mythology are descriptions of the fields viewed through
highly developed senses that can perceive the ether. Rudolf Steiner describes such
sense development. That the glands are radiating energy we know from the
radio-electric interpretation of life as developed by George Crile,
"Evolution probably seized upon the factors that have the power of
shifting the amount of radiation toward the short wave field, hence increasing
the amount of electricity generated. Thus, an increase in the electrical charge
up increases the muscular and glandular activity of the animal." The Five
Rites seem to enhance the ability to shift the amount of short wave radiation
toward the short wave field. We see a glimpse of the etheric/electric
transmutation taking place within the Vortex. The Five Rites stimulate the
entire "energy-controlling system", the body's ability to receive
vital force is enhanced.
The
correspondence between the Vortexes and the key organs of the
"energy-controlling system" is demonstrated in Figure One.
There
are seven Psychic Vortexes in the body: Vortex "A" is located within
the forehead; Vortex "B" is located in the posterior part of the brain;
Vortex "C" is in the region of the throat at the base of the neck;
Vortex "D" is located in the right side of the body above the waist
line; Vortex "E" is located in the reproductive anatomy, and is
directly connected [84]
with Vortex "C" in the throat; Vortexes "F" and
"G" are located one on either knee.
Vortex
"A" is the pineal gland.
Vortex
"B" is the pituitary gland. The pituitary is a very small gland, it
is about the size of a pea. Its situation is within the head at the base of the
brain about midway from front to back. Its condition has a marked influence on
the gonads.
Vortex
"C" is the thyroid gland. This gland is in the neck, just above the
collar bones. It is closely related with every action which takes place in the
pelvic, it stimulates the adrenals and the gonads as well.
Vortex
"D" is the Liver and the Adrenal Cortex. The liver maintains a
function which is essential to the life and activity of the cells of the brain
and adrenal cortex."
Vortex
"E" is the gonads and ovaries. The sex glands or glands of
reproduction (in the male) are called gonads. They are closely interlocked with
every other function of the human body.
Vortexes
"F" and "G" are very mysterious and relate to the muscular
aspects of the rites.
Using
the correspondences we can take a look at the rites to observe their function
on the glands.
Rite #1
Stand
erect with arms outstretched. horizontal with the shoulders. Now spin around
until you become slightly dizzy. There is only one caution: you must turn from
left to right. (Figure 1)
Effects:
It seems that whirling stimulates into great activity vortexes "A",
"B", and "E". These have a stimulating effect in the other
two "C" and "D". This first rite seems to be the one that
awakens all the vortexes but primarily stimulates the pineal / pituitary glands
in the head, in turn activating the generative glands. "The pituitary is a
very small gland; it is about the size of a pea. Its situation is within the
head at the base of the brain about midway from front to back. Its condition
has a marked influence on the gonads." (HSOVAR)
The
thyroid in the neck is also activated along with the liver and adrenal glands.
Both
Vortexes "A" and "B" are in the brain, which plays a most
vital role in the acquisition of energy. It is no wonder the skull has often
been thought to be the challis of vital force. "Since in a bipolar
mechanism, the electrical current must flow from areas of higher to areas of
lower potential, it is necessary to cite such facts as may tend to support the
conception that the cells of the brain are the principle source of the electric
energy that coordinates the body and to show how the direction of the
fabricated current is established." (TPOL)
In
Ruth Drown's conception of the ether the brain is the main receiver of the
ether, which is descending or emanating into the physical world constantly
creating and recreating the body. There is a mysterious connection between
ether and electricity. Electricity has been considered as decayed ether by many
borderland scientists in the past few decades. The brain points to the
mysterious connection between the ether and electricity. "The electric
current, therefore, would pass from the highest potential within the cells
through the zones of lower potential in the axons and nerves toward the points
of lowest potential in the glands and muscles to be stimulated." (TPOL)
The
activation of Vortex "C" at the neck, stimulates the thyroid glands.
"In the higher terrestrial animals the rise of the thyroid gland coincides
with the rise of mental and bodily energy." (TPOL) By simple stimulation
the glands will release energy and begin to recreate a larger supply for the next
demand. This way each simple short routine gradually builds up a huge force
over time. It cannot be rushed. It is a slow gradual toughing and rejuvenation
of the limbs of the tree of life. We will find more on information on Vortex
"C" when we look at the Fifth Rite.
The
region of Vortex "D" contains the liver. " . . .
The liver maintains a function which is essential to [85] the life and activity of the
cells of the brain and adrenal cortex." This rite awakens this vortex
slowly; it will become much more activated later.
Rite #2
Lie
flat on the back on a rug. Then place the hands flat along side the hips.
Fingers should be kept close together with the fingertips of each hand turned
slightly toward one another. The feet are then raised until the legs are
straight up. If possible, let the feet extend back a bit over the body, toward
the head but do not let the knees bend. Then slowly lower the feet to the floor
and for a moment allow all muscles to relax. Then perform this rite all over
again.
Effects:
Further stimulating into action the Seven Vortexes.
HSOVAR:
Primarily this simple movement cares for the distended abdomen from which so
many suffer and which is the cause of so much loss of vitality and virility.
The region most affected by this movement is the muscle sheath covering the
lower abdomen. The second rite influences the hardening process of the
abdominal walls.
Rite #3
Kneel
on rug, place hands on things, and lean forward as far as possible with the
head inclined so that the chin rests on the chest. Now lean back as far as
possible; at the same time the head should be lifted and thrown back as far as
it will go. Then bring the head up along with the body. Lean forward again and
start the rite all over.
Effects:
This rite is very effective in speeding up vortexes "A",
"D", and "C", especially "E".
HSOVAR:
" . . .it strengthens those spinal erector muscles that
have so important a function in guarding vital nerve centers and procreative
sources."
The
third rite is for the small of the back and all the procreative forces housed
within the pelvic girdle. We see physically how this rite builds up the pelvic
region. It is in the head movements that stimulate Vortex "C" the
thyroid gland. Vortex "D" is stimulated by the combination of the
head movement with the stimulation of the pelvic region and lower back. Vortex
"D" is the liver and the adrenal glands.
George
Crile demonstrates a connection between [86] the thyroid gland, the adrenal gland and gonads
in the pelvic region. "The Thyroid. This is not in the pelvic region at
all, but in the neck, just above the collar bones. But it is closely related
with every action which takes place in the pelvic never the less, for it stimulates
the adrenals and the gonads as well." (TPOL) By gentle stimulation the
Five Rites transform and vitalize the glands and organs of the body. Vortex
"D", the liver and adrenals that are interdependent upon each other
for their growth are strengthened. " . . . The liver
maintains a function which is essential to the life and activity of the cells
of the brain and adrenal cortex." (TPOL)
The
etheric formative forces that are constantly reconstructing our bodies can flow
much easier through a body that has utilized the Five Rites to increase
vitality. "As the liver is an organ with a very high functional activity
its semi permeable membranes also are rapidly broke up and have to be replaced,
and it also may depend upon some other organ for the essential lipid molecules.'S7e
postulate therefore that these molecules for the semi permeable membranes of
the cells of the body might well be supplied by the adrenal cortex. The liver
in part and the ductless glands in part maintain the structure of the
cells." (TPOL)
Rite #4
Sit
on the rug with feet stretched out in front. Then place the hands along side
the body. Now raise the body and bend the knees so that the legs, from the
knees down, are practically straight up and down while the body, from the
shoulders to the knees will be horizontal. Before pushing the body to a
horizontal position the chin should be well down on the chest. Then as the body
is raised the head should be allowed to drop gently backward as far as it will
go. Next, return to a sitting position and relax for a moment before repeating
the procedure. When the body is pressed up to the complete horizontal position
these every muscle in the body.
Effects:
This will have a tendency to stimulate vortexes "F", "G",
"E", and "C".
HSOVAR:
" . . .It stimulates all the vital sources, reactivates the
glands, tones up the muscles which surround the pelvic girdle and helps, put
you in good condition all over."
The
fourth rite stimulates all the procreative forces and reaches the lumbar region
of the spine. Vortexes "F" and "G" have far reaching
energetic potentials. Stability is imparted from the knees, but the stain on
the muscles creates a huge electrical reaction. Placing the chin on the chest
again stimulates Vortex "C" This tones the gland and causes a
secretion of its hormone which gives the body an increase in energy. "The
sources of sustained energy are primarily the hormone of the thyroid
gland." (TPOL)
Rite #5
Place
the hands on the floor about two feet apart. Then, with the legs stretched out
to the rear with the feet also about two feet apart, push the body, especially
the hips, up as far as possible, rising on the toes and hands, at the same time
the head should be brought so far down that the chin comes up against the
chest.
Next,
allow the body to come down to a 'sagging' position. Bring the head up, causing
it to be drawn as far back as possible.
HSOVAR:
The tucked head has an important effect on the glands in the front of the neck.
This rite exerts a stimulating effect on the muscles surrounding the small of
the back, the great nerve centers, and cause a gentle stimulation to pass
through all the procreative sources. The fifth rite stimulates the entire
pelvic basin, the gonads, the thyroid, the thymus, and the pituitary gland.
The
fifth rite stimulates Vortex "C" in the most efficacious manner.
While all the vortexes are spinning, one supporting the other, we can glimpse
the subtle energy works of the human body. George Crile, that pioneer of
borderland science, showed that the thyroid gland was indeed the master key to
the subtle electrical nature of man. "The unique effect of their thyroid
hormone upon mental and emotional activity can now be explained be the
demonstrated fact that the thyroid hormone increases the percentage of
radiation in the short wave or ionization field and the immediate effect of
this would be the of increasing the electrical potential of the brain. This
increased electrical potential would confer upon the brain a corresponding
increase of mental and emotional power." Our experience of life, all our
emotions and mental process are dependent upon electricity. That subtle electricity
that comes into the glands from the ether as it passes through the nervous
system of the living being. "In the higher terrestrial animals the rise of
the thyroid gland coincides with the rise of mental and bodily energy."
(TPOL) The stronger we can make Vortex "C" the more electricity we
can generate in our bodies. "The thyroid secretion through its control of
oxidation governs the electrical conductivity, electric capacity, and
electrical potential of the tissues; that is, the thyroid gland governs the
capacity of the organism for work." (TPOL)
"We
may then sum up this consideration of brain thyroid gland corroboration in
shifting the short wave reaction of the brain as follows, (a) The Thyroid
hormone specifically increases the percentage of short wave radiation, (b) This
increase in short wave radiation is due to the effect of the thyroid hormone on
nitrogen metabolism. (c) As the thyroid hormone shifts the wave emissions
toward the short or powerful end of the spectrum, and as the brain and nervous
tissue are especially affected by the thyroid hormone, it would appear to
follow that the brain and other units of the nervous system are speeded by the
thyroid hormone. (d) Man has a relatively larger thyroid gland than any other
animal, and greater mental, emotional, and physical activity. He owes these
characteristics to the relatively large development of the brain, which,
collaborating with the thyroid gland, produces the required amount of powerful
short wave radiation.
Vortex
"C" receives attention in all five rites. Its ability to radiate
energy to the brain and other parts of the nervous system is the key to the
subtle energy works of the human body.
The
great secret of the Lamas was rediscovered by George Crile: "The state of
mind and the state of consciousness are a result of radiation and electrical
potential." The Eye of Revelation by Peter Kelder is not just a fairy tale
but a transmission of an ancient electrical, etheric technology. By practicing
the Five Rites one seems to have the potential of increasing their bodies
ability to capture, create, and use the vital forces that underlie the amazing
field of vibrations we call life. The Vortexes are the spinning etheric
substance underlying the electrical activity of the brain and glands. These
rites work on the very foundations of our beings.
The
EYE OF REVELATION is upon the world.
