Podcasts about Pingala

This episode originally aired in 2025 and, as one of our most-loved conversations, we're sharing it again with you today.Sasha and Erin continue the Chakra series with Agnya, meaning “Divine Permission.” This is the sixth chakra, which is considered the master chakra. It is located at the third eye, the space between the eyebrows, where the pineal and pituitary glands are, which is also where the Ida and Pingala nadis originate. The pineal and pituitary glands play crucial roles in regulating hormones, consciousness, and perception.   The Pineal Gland is considered “the seat of the Soul.” It regulates circadian rhythms by producing melatonin which helps regulate sleep cycles, dreams, and altered states of consciousness. Associated with inner vision, intuition, and spiritual awakening, the pineal gland responds to light and darkness, mirroring the duality of perception (Maya vs. Truth). Considered the “Eye of Shiva” in yogic traditions, Agnya Chakra is linked to higher wisdom and deep meditation. Practices like Kriya Yoga, Trataka (candle gazing), and deep meditation activate the pineal gland, enhancing spiritual perception.  The Pituitary Gland is considered “The Master Gland.” It regulates hormonal balance by controlling the thyroid, adrenal glands, reproductive organs, and metabolism. It produces growth hormone, oxytocin (the love hormone), and stress hormones. It governs physical and emotional equilibrium. It also works as the bridge between the body and higher consciousness.  So when you think Pineal Gland, think Inner Vision, Allowing higher perception, deep meditation, and spiritual connection. When you think Pituitary Gland, think Master Regulator, ensuring hormonal and mental balance, helping integrate spiritual experiences into daily life.  Activating the Agnya Chakra (through Ayurvedic herbs, diet and lifestyle, breathwork, meditation, and chanting mantra such as “Om Namah Shivaya”) influences pituitary function, leading to enhanced mental clarity, intuition, and self-mastery.   The Rudra Granthi (or knot of Shiva) gets untied here, allowing access to the inner guru (intuition, a deeper knowing, natural intelligence, a state of clarity). Rudra Granthi is the final energetic blockage that must be untied for spiritual awakening. This knot represents ego, attachment to identity, and intellectual limitations. When untied or dissolved, Shiva-consciousness, or pure awareness, arises. There is no thought here, because we transcend thought. And we can have phenomenal impact on the field, as it gives rise to genius mind and more kundalini shakti moving up.   Agnya brings Prana to the nervous system. So when we are balanced here, we go beyond habit and the causal plane. We have access to deep self-healing and a quantum mind. We receive the energy and knowledge of the timeless dimension, a state of dynamic stillness. Send us Fan MailThis episode is brought to you by Ojas Oasis Ayurveda, Sasha's private clinical practice.

The Yoga Sutras name 5 hidden blocks to your inner peace — and 3 kriya practices to dissolve them. Akshay Bhat makes Patanjali simple.What if the joy you keep chasing is already inside you, and only five hidden blocks stand in the way?This conversation goes deep into the second chapter of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. The guest, who started studying the Yoga Sutras at just 11 years old, makes this ancient text simple and easy to follow.He begins with the three habits Patanjali names before any real practice: discipline (tapas), self-study (svadhyaya), and surrender (ishvara pranidhana). Together these form kriya yoga, the inner preparation. Without them, even strong practices can push your energy the wrong way.From there he opens the five kleshas, the inner blocks that hide our natural joy: forgetting who we really are, getting stuck in the ego, chasing pleasure, pushing away what we dislike, and the fear of death. Using everyday examples — a morning coffee habit, a stuck elevator, a frightening mountain drive in Nepal — he shows how the kleshas shape daily life, and how to loosen their grip.Still inside the Yoga Sutras, he explains the difference between Hatha Yoga and Raja Yoga (the king of yogic practice), how to clear the energy channels (nadis), and shares the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra for meeting the fear of death.If your life looks fine on paper but you still feel lost, the Yoga Sutras offer a clear map. This episode is your starting point, and the doorway to the kriyas themselves.Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:01:01 What Are the Yoga Sutras?00:02:11 The Four Chapters of Patanjali00:03:48 The Second Chapter & Kriya Yoga00:04:18 Tapas, Svadhyaya & Ishvara Pranidhana00:09:49 What Are Kriyas?00:11:59 Cleansing the Nadis: Ida, Pingala, Sushumna00:14:55 Hatha Yoga vs Raja Yoga00:16:27 Building a Daily Practice00:21:01 The Five Kleshas, Introduced00:23:13 Avidya: Forgetting Your True Self00:26:30 Impermanence & Growth00:35:03 Asmita: The False Ego00:41:40 Raga: Attachment & Desire00:45:21 Dvesha: Aversion & Resistance00:48:44 Abhinivesha: The Fear of Death00:54:23 The Mahamrityunjaya Mantra01:00:48 The Eight Limbs of Yoga01:03:09 Posture for Meditation01:07:02 Recap: The Five Kleshas01:09:41 Closing & What's NextResources:Michael Henri's InstagramAkshay Bhat's InstagramThe IN Movement InstagramTexts: Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (196 sutras, four chapters — Samadhi Pada, Sadhana Pada, Vibhuti Pada, Kaivalya Pada); Bhagavad Gita (Krishna on sukha and dukkha; sitting straight for meditation)Teachers / lineage: Thich Nhat Hanh (impermanence — the flower growing from the earth); the Buddha (desire as the root of suffering); Mahavatar Babaji (Kriya yoga lineage)Practices / concepts: Mahamrityunjaya Mantra; Shambhavi mudra; the three nadis (Ida, Pingala, Sushumna); the eight limbs; VipassanaPlaces: Annapurna Circuit, Nepal (the mountain-drive story); Uluwatu, BaliPrior / upcoming episodes: earlier episode with Akshay on mantras (referenced — link it for topical authority per Practice 3); next episode teased on Raja Yoga, "the king of yoga"

Nadi Shodhana, or "alternate nostril breathing," is a pranayama technique aimed at balancing prana (vital energy) in the body and harmonizing the left and right hemispheres of the brain. It purifies the energy channels (nadis), facilitating the free flow of energy. The three main nadis are Sushumna (central, balanced), Pingala (right, solar), and Ida (left, lunar). Practicing Nadi Shodhana helps balance these energies, promoting calmness, clarity, and harmony.The technique involves alternating nostrils while inhaling and exhaling, using Vishnu Mudra. This breath pattern helps regulate the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, enhancing relaxation, focus, and mental clarity. Nadi Shodhana connects the breath with the five elements (earth, water, fire, wind, and space) and chakras, fostering mindfulness and balance. It can deepen self-awareness, calm the mind, and improve concentration. Practicing this pranayama creates a state of yoga, uniting opposing forces for physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

The Ajna Chakra, or Third Eye Chakra, is the sixth energy center, representing intuition, perception, and wisdom. It connects us to inner awareness and deeper truths beyond ordinary sight. Symbolised by an indigo lotus with two petals, it represents the balance of dual energies, Ida and Pingala. The Om symbol at its centre signifies the unity of all states of consciousness, leading to self-realisation. The upward triangle represents the ascension of insight, while the crescent moon and bindu symbolise intuition and focus. Hakini Shakti, the divine feminine force, enhances inner perception and wisdom, holding symbols of knowledge, impermanence and meditation. The Rudra Granthi knot can distort perception, leading to spiritual arrogance or skepticism. When balanced, Ajna offers clarity and discernment. This practice integrates asana, pranayama, mudra, and mantra, invoking the divine energies of Hakini Shakti and Shiva to awaken the third eye.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

Send us a textThe ancient Rishis, through deep states of consciousness perceived the true architecture of cosmic time, shedding light on why the impossible (like interstellar travel)  is infinitely possible. Vedic knowledge, is not myth. it is memory that sustains within the humanity's DNA. All that we call myth - from the  ancient domain of Africa ( which includes Egypt ), India, China, the great pyramids, Mayan civilization's UN-erasable history- the universal truth etched in our memory- memory to be remembered. A more recent Vedic aeronautic tome called the Vaimanika Shastra written by Pt. Sastry cited the intricate architectural designs implemented in ancient Vedic models for starships such as Ai Atlas and R2 Swan - the design and construction and propulsion of these ancient starships noted untra-dense metal construction and mercury vortex engines and other highly advanced  technologies.  The modern discovery of concepts like ion drives, warp drives and  anti-gravity technology align with the supreme design architecture described in this text which elaborated on ancient Vedic texts such as Ramayana and Mahabharata that noted these flying machines called Vimana, a Sanskrit term: The descriptions of Vimanas as silent hovering craft moving with aquatic grace at unfathomable speeds across great swaths of the universe navigating through known cosmic portals. Vaimanika Sastra surmised the starship's design  complied with Vedic mathematical principles that emulate the natural symmetrical  pulsation and geometrical sequence of the universe. ancient Vedic renditions of spacecraft design would have had to include a timed emission system that is synchronized  to match the pulsation of the cosmic heartbeat generating from Spanda, the primordial vibration.  Its navigation system is rooted in the cosmic code imbued into the spiral of galaxies, a concept founded  in 200BCE by the Vedic mathematician, Pingala in his work on Sanskrit prosody where he surmised the Virahanka numbers, the knowledge of what is now known as the Fibonacci sequence - the cosmic code imbued in the spiral of galaxies, in the full cycle of the DNA double helix, and in various aspects of nature.To help us understand  the impossible timeline being not only possible but holding infinite possibilities listen to the deeper vibration of truth currently resonating in every cell of your being. There is simply nothing to fear  from the arrival of interstellar starships and their Supra-conscious sojourners.Vedic cosmology describes time in vast cycles called kalpas, 4.32 billion years, for example, represent a day of Brahma followed by a night of Brahma of equal length, where the universe is created and then dissolved. This cyclical model predates present day Big Bang theories. The Vedas propose that the universe expands from a singularity and at the end of each Kalpa it collapses into dissolution therein triggering the next Big Bang. This understanding of the Kalpa principle of time offers insights into the bending and folding of cosmic time.

Subtle Body – NadisYoga is the mastery of self-knowledge, while Tantra is the mastery of Prana's power. Weaving asana, pranayama, mudra, kriya, mantra, and philosophy, we aim to empower ourselves with loving awareness to fulfill our purpose. Yoga is the management of prana, the life force that animates and sustains us physically, mentally, and emotionally.The subtle body, or Sukshma Sharira, bridges the physical and spiritual realms through nadis (energy channels) and chakras (energy centers). The three main nadis: Sushumna (central), Ida (left, lunar), and Pingala (right, solar)...govern prana flow and balance. Kundalini, the dormant spiritual energy at the spine's base, rises through Sushumna, purifying chakras and leading to spiritual awakening.Practices help activate and harmonize the subtle body, enabling physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual growth. While siddhis (psychic abilities) may arise, the goal remains self-realisation and unity with the divine, fostering transformation with guidance and humility.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

Welcome to Day 20 of 21 Days with Rumi — a sacred journey into the heart of transformation. Today, we enter the fire. Not as victims of change, but as willing vessels of alchemy. In this session, we explore what it truly means to let go, to dissolve, and to rise — not in fear, but in reverence. We dive into the energetic intelligence of Kundalini, the sacred dance of Ida and Pingala, and the inner alchemy that purifies all that no longer serves our becoming. As we surrender to this sacred burning, we awaken a deeper truth: What feels like destruction… is often the beginning of your liberation.

Rooftop solar has long been out of reach for many renters and apartment dwellers but the Haystacks Solar Garden in NSW's Riverina has pioneered a new model for people locked out of rooftop solar. Haystacks is Australia's first large-scale solar garden — and a recent winner of a Banksia National Sustainability Award. With 175 ‘solar plots' generating power from the Grong Grong solar farm, this community-led project offers a new model for energy equity and a fresh take on how big solar can partner with communities. Nigel Hancock from community energy group Pingala, one of the key partners behind Haystacks, explains how solar gardens work and whether the model can be scaled to empower more communities around the country.

In our latest episode, we explore the intricate relationship between energy centers within our bodies and their interplay between the masculine and feminine aspects. We delve into the concept of the central channel, the Sashumna Nadi, and the Ida and Pingala that traverse the left and right sides of our being, respectively. This discussion illuminates how these energies, much like threads in a rope, weave together to create the strength and form of our existence. We take time to appreciate the thousands of muscles and neural pathways that define us, emphasizing the extraordinary nature of our bodies. The episode also features readings from the Radiance Sutras, a translation of the Vijñāna-Bhairava-tantra, capturing the spiritual dialogue between a goddess and her lover, which speaks to the mysteries of life and existence. These passages invite listeners to tune into the presence of life's power and the mysterious awareness that permeates everything. The text encourages us to explore the wholeness beyond individual parts, and the interplay of form and formlessness, urging us to rest in the embrace of wisdom and truth.Listeners are guided to take a moment to recognize their own unique existence and power, acknowledging the stories, failures, and wisdom that make up their current being. The episode reinforces the idea that each person's presence is not accidental but a unique manifestation of life's vitality. This recognition is aimed at catalyzing self-awareness and inspiring listeners to weave love into their lives and surroundings. The session concludes with a meditation centering on the affirmation of life's purpose and the essential nature of love. Listeners are encouraged to view their physical form not as a burden, but as a vessel for manifesting strength, power, and love. The meditation serves as a reminder that everyone has come to this life with significant intent and potential. The closing thoughts of the episode revisit the themes of power and vulnerability, discussing how confronting fear with presence and consciousness can lead us to embody our true nature. The episode underscores the importance of embodying love and authenticity in our daily lives, especially in a world where superficial conversations often overshadow genuine actions. Ultimately, the podcast invites listeners to play in the field of power and love, embracing their authentic selves and fostering a more aligned and vibrant existence for themselves and others.

Nach der Sommerpause starten wir mit einer neuen Staffel von „IMPULS DER WOCHE“. In dieser Staffel dreht sich alles um das Thema „Finde und stärke deine Lebenskraft“. Den Anfang machen wir mit der energetischen Aufrichtung – der Grundlage für ein kraftvolles und ausgeglichenes Leben. Unsere Wirbelsäule, das Fundament unseres Körpers, spielt dabei eine zentrale Rolle. Sie hilft uns nicht nur, uns körperlich aufzurichten, sondern auch unsere Lebenskraft zu bewahren und zu stärken. In dieser Episode erfährst du, warum die Wirbelsäule der Schlüssel zu körperlicher Vitalität und mentaler Klarheit ist und wie du mit einfachen Übungen deine Basis stärken kannst. Außerdem klären wir, wer oder was eigentlich „Yogis Liebling“ ist und warum wir uns so oft erschöpft fühlen.

This practice invites you to abide in the heart. Using Kapalabhati & Antara Kumbhaka Pranayama that clears and purifies the energy channels to prepare for Surya and Chandra Bhedana, Sun and Moon piercing. Isolating our attention on the right and left nostril channels (Pingala & Ida Nadis) to connect to their unique qualities, then draw them together at our heart and bathe in that inner light abiding in the centre, meditating in the timeless light of now.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

Antaranga - “internal,” “inner” or “inside.” It is typically associated with the last three limbs of the 8-fold path of Yoga: Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi. chitta vritti nirodha - Yoga Sutras of Patanjali I.2. “Yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind”. snayu vritti nirodha - snayu refers to the muscles and ligaments, tissues that control body movements. Hence this verse could be translated as “cessation of the fluctuations of the fascia”, or “eradication of the dysfunctions of the muscles, fascia, ligaments, tissues”. yat pinde tat brahmande - is an ancient Sanskrit verse from the Vedic texts. It can be interpreted as “All that is outside you is within you,” or “Your body is a miniature universe.” Panchatatva - Panch means five and tatvas mean elements. Panchtatva connotes the five elements i.e. ether (Akash), wind (Vayu), fire (Agni), water (Jal) and earth (Prithvi). These five elements form the warp and woof of the entire cosmos. Pranamaya kosha - kosha means "sheath”, prana is vital energy, breath, air. Koshas are sheaths which are covering the Atman, Self. There are 5 koshas, pranamaya kosha is the breath body, energy sheath. It includes 5 elements: apana, udana, samana, vyana, prana. prayatna shaithilya ananta samapattibhyam - Yoga Sutra of Patanjali II.47. “Perfection in an asana is achieved when the effort to perform it becomes effortless and the infinite being within is reached”. Bhishmasana - an asana intended for rest and relaxation, allowing the practitioner to recover and rejuvenate. There are 3 kinds of Bhishmasana: 1 - lying on 7 bricks, 2 - sitting in front of the chair, 3- standing and bending over a trestler. tato dvaṅdva-an-abhighātah - Yoga Sutras of Patanjali II.48. "From then on, the sadhaka is undisturbed by dualities". The practice of asana results in victory over the dualities of life. There is no longer joy or sorrow, heat or cold, honour or dishonour, pain or pleasure. Anandamaya kosha - the most subtle of all 5 koshas, the bliss body.

Risvegliare le energie sottili è uno dei risultati che abbiamo quando pratichiamo Yoga; oggi Barbara ci parla di Vita, di sentimento, di emozioni, di amore, di forza e di intenzioni: ce ne parla raccontandoci di Corpi sottili e dei loro canali, le Nadi, dove scorre libero e travolgente il Prana, la nostra forza vitale. Non ne siamo consapevoli ma lo sentiamo forte nel nostro corpo l'effetto che fa quando Ida, Pingala e Sushumna sono in equilibrio.

Pusteøvelse, Ida, Pingala

Prana is the infinite life-force energy that runs through us and is all around us. As yoga therapists, we primarily work with the breath (pranayama) and asana to influence the currents of prana through the system which can have therapeutic effects on many diseases, particularly emotional and mental imbalances. In this episode, learn about the pranamaya kosha, what prana is, our interpretation of the nadis and how yoga therapists use pranayama and other yogic practices to influence the pranic body to bring about healing to our clients.

Dürfen Männer eigentlich Nagellack tragen? Was hast das mit dem modernen Männerbild - überhaupt dem Männerbild zu tun?

The channels referred to in the title are energetic channels of the body, some represented by gross anatomy landmarks and others categorized by subtle body anatomy.This episode may be the science-y one yet, as the hosts overlay a template of cranialsacral anatomy over the subtle anatomy of the chakras and three main nadis (Sushumna, Ida, & Pingala). In order to provide clarity around some of these terms, here is a brief overview of some of the definitions.Chakra means WHEEL – they are spinning wheels of energy, vortices in the body, signified by a variety of qualities (colors, elements, essential oils, foods, practices, etc.). They live deep in the body on the anterior spine – also known as the Central Channel, or SUSHUMNA .Nadis - subtle channels in the body through which our prana flows. There are 72,000 NADIS in the body (or 84,000, depending on what you read) – There are 3 main nadis:Ida – Left side channel – moon – milky white – cooling – female energy – houses negative thoughts that are cravings, addictions, desires or misunderstanding that we think will make us happy. “If only I had [a better job, partner, friends, etc], I'd be happy.” Includes: Wanting, Greed, Lust, Clinginess, Stinginess, Jealousy, selfishnessPingala – Right side channel – sun – opaque red – heating – Houses thoughts you don't want to have! - Low level irritation like… “If only I didn't have [this partner, these friends, this job, etc.]” “I'd be fine if…” [you'd leave me alone, I didn't eat so much, etc.]. Includes:Anger, Frustration, Aversion, Irritation, Rage, ViolenceSushumna – Central channel – Happy ChannelThoughts of wisdom, happiness (low-level contentment to all out bliss). Sushumna is where wind is when happy & smart (inextricable). Must get out of negative mindset before moving into clarity of central channel since affliction & bliss cannot share the same space. Side channels are like vines that grow around and cut off the main channel. Cannot see clearly when wind is in the side channel. When calm, peaceful and at ease, wisdom can arise.Anything that disturbs peace of mind – affliction – (even excitement in a positive way) takes us out of the seat of wisdom.For more information about Craniosacral Therapy, the link below takes you to the article Theresa referred to during the episode.Sources:Buddha Weekly - Chakras & Channels (Tibetan Buddhism)Craniosacral Therapy – What is it?Our Amazing Team:Judith George - Editor (video & audio)Keith Kenny - MusicCindy Fatsis - Photography

In this episode we explore another breath pattern so you have enough resource available to call on when necessary. Practice and make it become your go to rather than holding your breath. We talk about what it is like to ask either one of your children or their friends for rent. Decide your reasons you are asking and how to communicate it.

In this episode, Angie discusses the energetic body and why it's important to be in the know about it. She touches on the basics of the anatomy including the Sushumna, Ida, Pingala, nadis, and chakras. After getting just a little technical, she gets real about why it all even matters. The take away? This human suit that we temporarily call home is very much affected by what is happening in our energetic body. Nurturing it is important! This episode is a companion to meditation episode 24.

Our nostrils carry great power. When we breathe with awareness we can access that energy. Ida and Pingala the two secondary Nadis (energy pathways) can balance your Yin and Yang states of energy. Namaste! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nanda-yogini/message

Sukadev spricht über den 110. Vers der Hatha Yoga Pradipika, 3. Kapitel, als Inspiration des Tages. Essenz: Ida ist der heilige Ganges, und Pingala ist Jamuna. Zwischen Ida und Pingala sitzt die junge Witwe, Kundalini. Warum wird die Kundalini Shakti hier „Witwe“ genannt? Deshalb, weil sie nicht mit Shiva ist. Shiva ist im Sahasrara, so […]

In this excerpt from Shira's Yoga Teacher's class, a journey through the five elements, the basis of Ayurvedic principles, and the Koshas, a pillar of Yoga therapy, she explains the functions of the mind and which major contributor causes mental health imbalance. We look at how the left and right brain hemispheres, respectively Ida and Pingala nadi, each has needs, strengths, weaknesses and opportunities which we can affect through the 8 limbs of yoga. Learn why it's so important to check our input and understand how we affect output effectively with a comprhensive practice using mudra, mantra, movement, Pranayama, Pratyahara, mindfulness concentration and meditation. Join the next Yoga Teachers class starting in January

Surya Bhedana Pranayama is one of the classical breathing techniques of Hatha Yoga. It involves breathing in through the right nostril, and out through the left. It is a variation on Alternate Nostril Breathing which aims to stimulate the Pingala nadi, an energy channel that in hatha yoga is linked to the sun, heat and activity. Modern studies have shown that the right nostril is linked with the left side of the brain, which is sometimes associated with linear, rational thinking, and the sympathetic nervous system, the part of our nervous system that mobilizes us for action   https://garethquinnredmond.bandcamp.com/   www.thebreathworkclub.ie   www.patreon/thebreathworkclub

El cuerpo vital está recorrido por múltiples de canales sutiles que (imaginemos algo parecido a lo que ocurre con el sistema sanguíneo o el sistema nervioso), y estos canales, también llamados nadis, conforman una red, conectando y transmitiendo la energía a todos los rincones del cuerpo. Estos nadis atraviesan los chakras, que actúan como transformadores y reguladores de esta energía pránica. Hay tres nadis principales que atraviesan de forma vertical nuestra anatomía: Sushumna, que es el eje que pasa por los siete chakras principales, y a sus lados están situados Ida y Pingala, los cuales ascienden serpenteando alrededor del nadi central Sushumna. En el chakra raíz se encuentra (en estado latente) la poderosa energía de Kundalini, que es el fundamento de muchos sistemas espirituales tradicionales, tanto de Oriente como de Occidente. Esta energía suele aparecer representada por una serpiente dormida.

The third eye center is a powerful confluence of energy that has been acknowledged by many traditions and cultures. When we learn and develop the ability “to see” with more than our physical sight, then worlds of depth and magic reveal themselves within & without. Discussed are practical themes & concrete ways to work with this sometimes illusive chakra including developing our senses of perception, the recognition of patterns and the capacity to dream which allow this chakra to thrive and to flourish. Tips on how to decipher and work with both excesses and deficiencies in this potent chakra are offered as well as accessible healing tools and compelling insights.  “Trust the dreams, for hidden in them is the gate to eternity.” - Kahlil Gibran SHOW NOTES: The “Ajna Chakra” is the 6th chakra in the chakra system which comes from the Indian tradition. The 6th chakra is colloquially and commonly referred to as your “third eye” as it lives behind the space between your eyebrows in the region of the pineal gland in the forehead center. The entire chakra system which is made up of 7 spinning wheels of energy called chakras, lives at the intersectionality of our physical bodies, our energetic bodies and our psyches (and if you haven't yet heard our Intro to the Chakras: The Rainbow Bridge Inside of You - Episode #16, definitely give that episode a listen for more details on the overall system in its entirety).  The association of this throat chakra with the pineal gland. Balancing this chakra might help with sleep cycles and circadian rhythms. Within our bodies there are 3 main “nadis” or rivers of energy: -Ida, lunar and associated with the Divine Feminine within  -Pingala, solar and associated with the Divine Masculine within  -Sushumna, associated with running on the same access as our spine  These rivers of energy within criss cross one another and flow from the root chakra, Muladhara (Episode #17 - Root Chakra: Grow Your Roots & Ground Your Chit) to this 6th chakra which make it a powerful point of confluence where the 3 energies merge into one stream of consciousness where they flow up to the 7th sahasrara chakra. Parenthetically in India, the lineage from which the chakra system comes from, it is said these 3 nadis or rivers of energy within the body are represented in the outer 3 great rivers of India called the Ganga (associated with Ida), Jamuna (Pingala) and Saraswati (a subterranean current associated with Sushumna).  When we focus and bring our attention which is one of our most powerful currencies, to this point where our energies converge and focus on it, we too become purified, meaning we can release what is not in alignment with our most aligned self and when we do this doorways and gateways open to us in the way of our perceptions, our memories, our imaginations and our abilities of perception. Kahil Gibran who wrote the most exquisite book called the Prophet said, “Trust the dreams, for hidden in them is the gate to eternity.” - Kahlil Gibran “Ajna” is sometimes translated as ”to command.” It is about trusting in dreams and one's sense of perception. What is your level of engagement with your imagination? How is your memory and how are your recall capacities? How is your sleep going and what is your dream life like?  The 6th chakra is about developing our senses of perception even if we think we suck at them because when we do, insights and the recognition of patterns which lead to deep wisdom opens up to us…...and you live life like someone left the gate open for you beginning to trust in yourself even more and in your dreams! It lives in the space between your eyebrows as your “third eye.”  Its basic right is to see what is really going on and the “big picture.” It's about seeing all levels of reality. When we are told things we see aren't real, and our intuitions are discounted this can cause imbalances within this chakra as both kids and adults. It is all about trusting and working with one's intuition and imagination. Associated with the element light. It is also associated with the color Indigo. It is activated and grows during adolescence and it deals with the ability to recognize patterns and esoteric questions such as, “Who I am? Why am I here?” In adult chakra development, it's about turning towards wanting to have more profound inner development. Travel, renewed study, trainings and circumstances that reflect back to us patterns within ourselves are paramount and of interest. Studying dreams and exploring past life regression and inner child work can be helpful to balance this chakra. The “chakra challenge” is illusion & separateness. Traumas that involve an invalidation of what you see or intuit might benefit from activities working with the right and left sides of the body and integrating both halves of body and brain together.  Excesses and deficiencies and ways to support the healing of this chakra are discussed to bring it back into balance. When the stakes are low, tune into how you get information from your inner GPS. Develop it like a muscle. Lavender, sage, rosemary, ylang ylang are plant medicine and oils associated with this chakra. Saturday and the planet of Saturn are as well. Opal, Azurite and Lapis Lazuli are the gems associated with this chakra as is the devi, Krishna. If our “lower” 4 chakras are well developed, this chakra will be well supported.  6th Chakra Imbalance Thought Litmus Test & 6th Chakra Affirmations are shared. This chakra is depicted as a 2 petaled lotus flower (representing Shiva and Shakti, the divine Masculine and Feminine aspects within each human) along with a circle representing the concept of “Shunya” which appears in Buddhism as well as various Eastern streams referring to the void, dark velvety realm of magic and deepest knowing. There is an inverted triangle within the circle, representing the feminine, creative energy. Above it is a black phallic symbol that depicts the astral body. The astral body is said to be connected to our personality.  “Purification” is refinement and evolution of one's own consciousness. The “Buddhi” which is the aspect of our minds that can see the big picture and discern all that we DO have in the way of blessings. We practice remembering. “Eagle Vision” known as “Upeskha.”  Meditation: Practicing “Shambhavi Mudra” the space behind the eyes. Practice tuning into your intuition when the stakes aren't high and develop fun games and/or practices to do so. Study the patterns in nature (such as the Fibonacci sequence) and this unlocks the patterns in our mind, hearts and bodies. If you open your third eye, then the whole world reveals its magical secrets to you and you understand that YOU are one of them! Stay tuned and be on the lookout for more upcoming “Soulcasts” where we will go chakra by chakra (one episode per each chakra) and you can learn about this powerful technology that blends Eastern Wisdom & Modern Day life so you can move towards more mystical mastery and mindfulness living.

Conoce los 3 Nadis Esenciales: Ida, Pingala y Sushumna. Así,comprenderás el funcionamiento energético de tu cuerpo. Tu lado femenino, tu lado masculino, y sus posibles desequilibrios. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

The nadis are channels that carry energy through our bodies. There are thousands, but we tend to focus on three: ida, pingala, and sushumna.Ida and pingala travel from the root chakra to the third eye, crisscrossing paths along the way. Sushumna is the central channel that travels up the middle.Where the three meet, you will find a chakra.I am beyond delighted to have Arabella Champaq back on the podcast to talk about the nadis and how they have helped support her and her practice.The nadis are an important part of our subtle energy body, but not talked about nearly as much as the chakra system.Arabella discusses what they do, how you can recognize which is activated, and some practical steps to take into your daily practice.Arabella Champaq was initiated by Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan, a Sufi Master of the Chishti Order, in 1976. She studied with him for 25 years.Eventually, she began searching for a more integrated path, one that included all parts of her being. She longed for a spiritual path that addressed the disconnect between spirit and body, between God and Pleasure, between what we believe and how we live.She began an exploration of sacred sexuality, which led her to tantra. In tantra, she has discovered the perfect marriage of the sacred and the profane, of the inner and outer worlds, of the fact that she has both an innate desire for the transcendent state and experiences extended orgasms.She studies with Swami Ravi Rudra Bharati (a.k.a. Rudy Ballentine), a student of Swami Rama. She has taught meditation, led retreats, classes, and workshops since 1985.If you would like to find out more about Arabella, her work, and how you might be able to study with her, please visit https://tantragateway.weebly.com/.*****For more information about Adam Bee, sacred intimacy, and Tantra, please visit https://adambee.com

Continuing our conversation with author Michelle S. Fondin, we dive deeper into our exploration of chakras. We discuss the physic energy of the Gunas, and how they relate to each of these seven energy centers. Michelle explains how both the Yoga Sutras and Tantric philosophy weave into our understanding of the chakras. We also talk about awakening Kundalini energy, the role of Ida and Pingala nadis, and the association of Ida and Pingala nadi with each chakra.  If you already understand the basics of each chakra and are looking to go deeper, this episode is for you! ---   Michelle S.
