A Healing Techniques through the Science of Breathing

The Science of Breathing which is known as ‘Swar Vigyan’ in occult science has been one of the oldest and accurate science in Indian civilization still date. Our ancestors who lived in the jungles, mountains and forests had always tried and tested this science and were amazed by the result of this science.

Today I will be talking of breathing techniques and health issues. Almighty has created this beautiful universe and especially this human body,which is so complex: that even after 50,000 years we as human beings are unable to decode most mysteries connected to the human body.

Even if we even understand even a little bit of the complexities of the human body, our life will get more simplified and free of self created obstacles. This science of breathing is a complete science by itself, which is based on “How much of breath has to be inhaled and the quantity of air to be exhaled.This technique is known as ‘Pranayam.

“A human body has lacs of nerves and billions of cells. There are numerous nerve cells that wind throughout the body which is known as “Nadi” .This Nadis are 72,000 in number.Out of the 72,000,there are 20 nadis , 10 above umbilicus cord and 10 below the umbilicus cord which are situated in the form of Kundalini chakra inside the umbilical cord.

Wherever there is a formation of these Nadis they are coiled in the form of a ball termed as Chakra. Nowadays there are many workshops and courses guiding or teaching about these Sat-Chakras, but it is to be noted that our body does not have only 7 chakras but as many as 108 in number, also these chakras are not only present in the human physical body but are present in the astral body too, which is known as ‘Sushma Shareer’. Sushma mean extremely minute form.

Also based on these Chakras and Kul-Kundalini, Western Scientists have discovered a new form of therapy known as ‘Access Bar’ in the year 1990 in which specific points are given in the scalp of humans. There are 32 such points on the head which dissipate the electromagnetic charge that get locked in our brain by the thought , feelings and emotions which we have stored in our lifetime.

There are said 10 importance Nadis in Human body :

1) Gandhari

2) Hasth-Jivha

3) Pusha

4) Yashshavi

5) Almbusha

6) Kuhu

7) Shakhini

8) Ida

9) Pingala

10) Sushumna

In above mentioned 10 Nadis , 3 most importance Nadi for Yogis and Sadhaks are Ida ,Pingla and Sushumna.

Ida : When the breathing is from the left nostril then it is said to be as Ida Swar .This nadi is situated on the left side , also known as Chandrama Nadi OR Waam Nadi as Left Side of Human is known as Waam Bhag in Vedic Shastra , Chinese philosophy term this Nadi as Yin Energy . Ida is soft and is considered as the Moon influence, hence it is believed that all the auspicious work has to be performed when the Chandra Nadi/Ida Nadi is working. In Graphology it is known as ZERO.

Pingla : When the breathing is from the right nostril then it is said to be as Pingla Swar. This nadi is situated on the right side of the human body, also known as Surya Nadi Or Dakshin Nadi as  Right Side of Human is known as Dakshin Baag in Vedic Shastra, Again Chinese philosophy terms this nadi as Yang Energy ,Pingla Nadi is considered as Surya ( SUN ) Nadi , it is very hot , aggressive and destructive in nature ,hence all the work which requires aggressive streak for completion or in another term we should do those work which need high energy and action. In Graphology it is known as ONE.

Sushumna : When the breathing is coming from both the nostrils then it is consider as Sushumna Nadi. Yogis of The Highest order always prefer meditation whenever the Sushumna is active.This Nadi is in between the Chandra and Surya Nadi which is said to be Kaal Swaroop Nadi hence one should not do worldly matter work when this Nadi is working.
