Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 I just discovered that the Nadis are "Vein Groups"! This is very important information and this site details a lot of terms, not only about the Nadis, but about a broad range of terms falling under the category of "vedic-reiki-anatomy" for those who are interested: http://www.indiadivine.org/vedic-reiki-anatomy-prana1.htm Ten Vein groups - Nadis The Ida and Pingala Nadis start from the right and left toes, go up gradually in a scissors pattern parallel to the back bone, into the head, and then passing through the nostrils return to the anus. The Susumna Nadi appears at the bottom of the anus. It combines with ida and pingala and with life air goes upto the top of head, sharingbreaths. The Gandhari Nadi climbs from the navel, adjusting with the seven great veins. It spreads around the throat and takes seat under the tongue. The Atti and Sikhu Nadis start from the anus and run up into the ears, protecting the instruments of hearing. The Alampurusa and Alampada Nadis start from anus, run up into the eyeballs, directing their movement. The Sangini and Guhu Nadis start from the navel and end under anusIda. Ida, Pingala and Susumna combine in ‘vata’ creating constipation and other digestive problems, bringing lethargy and laziness, tamas. Gandhari, Atti, Sikhu and Alampurusa combine in ‘pitha’ creating excessive heat, thirst, gastric upheavals, pressure, and bring up lusty desires, rajas. Guhu, Sangini and Alampada combine in ‘kapha’ creating widening of the eyes, deepening of the eye-socket, excessive sweating of face, and anxiety resulting in depression, deeper tamas.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 The internet can be a garden or a mine field. There are a lot of unreliable sites and even more unscrupulous sites and the 'information' that they present may be wrong, twisted, or intentionally deceptive. It is good to know the identity and credentials of the authors, and to deteremine whether the site is sattvic sharing (as this group is) or just another marketing device. I am still a firm believer in the print medium, partly because editors have possibly taken a critical eye to the material and the author and partly because there will be more detail and more of an opportunity for the author to reveal hsi/her true intentions and qualifications. Below is my version of a short list of books on nadis and chakras: 1. The Complete Illustrated Book Yoga - Swami Vishnu Devananda 2.Fundamentals of Yoga - Rammurti S. Mishra 3. Eastern Body Western Mind - Anodea Judith 4. Ayurveda and the Mind: The Healing of Consciousness - Dr. David Frawley 5. Light on Pranayama - B.K.S.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 I asked my teacher (call her a guru if you want she's a healer and has healed herself already of a pretty unbelievably major trouble) told me she knows Rammurti Mishra as a personal friend and painted a picture of him, and also recommended a book by Barry Long to me, so I'm going to get the Mishra book and a book by Long. Any comment on Barry Long? Peace, Cathie In a message dated 10/14/2004 9:58:34 AM Mountain Daylight Time, omprem writes: > Below is my version of a short list of books on nadis and > chakras: > > 1.
