Three channels of ascent/ Surendra Singh, Sahaja Yoga Trust, Rynjah
THERE ARE actually three channels in the human body system as shown in figure. The one in the centre is called Sushumna, which caters to the parasympathetic nervous system, or the autonomous nervous system. The one on the left looks after the left sympathetic nervous system and on the right it looks after the right sympathetic nervous system. Now, it is not accepted yet , or discovered yet in medical science, that the left and right sympathetic nervous systems are to different juxtaposed systems. There functions are absolutely opposite to each other.
The left side channel is called (1) Ida Nadi and is connected to the right side and the back of the brain. The two left and right channels cross at the Agna Chakra level. This channel caters for the left sympathetic nervous system. This channel looks after our emotional life and our past. It is the channel which creates our past. Whatever is the present today becomes the past tomorrow. The subconscious mind receives information from this channel. The subconscious mind has an age-old collective subconscious mind beyond it. Everything that has was in the past since creation resides dormant in the collective subconscious. This collective subconscious has all that is dead in the evolutionary process collected and stored. Whatever is dead or gone out of circulation of evolution and also whatever is spilling out of the subconscious mind goes out into the collective subconscious mind.
The right side channel is called Pingala Nadi, which crosses Ida Nadi at Agna Chakra level. It is connected with left side and the front of the brain. The channel caters for the right sympathetic nervous system. On the right hand side there is the supra-conscious mind, which creates our future, Whatever we think about our future is recorded on the right hand side, and it also has a collective supra-conscious, which has got all that is dead, which happened due to over-ambitious, futuristic personalities, aggressive animals or plants.
The central path is called (3) Sushumna through which Kundalini passes to pierce through the Fontanelle bone area in brain to enter into the subtle energy of all-pervading power. This is how the self-realization takes place. First hands feel at the fontanelle bone area and on the finger tips the cool breeze. For the first time he feels the existence of the all-pervading power. It has to be felt, a already stated, one has to have very open mind, like a scientist. Whatever may be the absolute truth for a saint may not be for an ordinary human being. Still one can keep one’s mind open and seed for oneself and if it works out, and then one would have an enlightened faith in Sahaja Yoga.
