Moon & Moss🐍 Kundalini & Energy Body
The three nadis: Moon, sun and the central channel
The energy body is said to hold 72,000 channels called nadis. Three matter most: the lunar Ida, the solar Pingala, and the central Sushumna.
- Ida (left channel): lunar, cooling, receptive and intuitive. Linked to the left nostril.
- Pingala (right channel): solar, warming and active. Linked to the right nostril.
- Sushumna (central channel): the main channel along the spine, from base to crown. When Ida and Pingala are in balance, energy is said to flow freely here, and this is the path kundalini rises along.
This is why balancing breath practices, like alternate nostril breathing, are considered the gentlest preparation for kundalini work.

Notice which nostril is breathing more freely right now. It shifts through the day, and tradition connects it to your energy.
Kundalini practice is powerful and can be destabilizing without preparation and support. Never try to force an awakening, and learn direct practices from a qualified teacher. This isn't medical advice. This is deep inner territory. If you find yourself in real distress, please reach out to a mental health professional alongside your spiritual practice; the two work beautifully together.
