Balance, Health, and energy channels (Nadis)
A spiritual discourse on holistic health, the subtle body, and the nāḍīs.
"If there is an imbalance between body and mind, people used to say, 'the screws are loose,' and you have to rectify it."
"These 72,000 nāḍīs are 72,000 channels. These channels constantly receive cosmic energy, which just exhales through our nostrils—cosmic energy, which is streaming throughout the whole body, the soul."
The speaker discusses the necessity of balance between body, mind, and consciousness for a fulfilling human life, touching on diet, modern exploitation of nature, and resultant suffering. The teaching then focuses on the subtle body, describing the 72,000 nāḍīs as channels for cosmic energy that nourish the soul, distinguishing them from physical nerves.
