Restoring Balance to the Left Energy Channel
As mentioned, it’s essential to evaluate the state of your nadis at the start of your meditation to identify any imbalances. The Ida Nadi, which governs emotional and past energy, can be balanced using earth and light techniques. These—Balancing Ida Nadi— practices help restore harmony, enhance your subtle system, and deepen your meditation experience.
Using the Earth Element to Restore Balance
The Ida Nadi energy flow resonates deeply with Mother Earth's frequency. She freely offers healing and nourishment to those open to receiving it. Practising this earth technique for balancing Ida Nadi will help cleanse and stabilise your energy system.
Steps to Clear Ida Nadi with the Earth Element:
- Rest your left hand on your lap, palm facing upward towards the sky.
- Place your right hand on the earth (or, if seated on a chair, direct your palm downward toward the ground).
- From your heart, ask:
"Mother Kundalini, please pass all the heaviness of my Ida Nadi into the earth element." - Thank Mother Earth for absorbing negativity and purifying your energy.
Cleansing Ida Nadi Energy with Light
When the Ida Nadi energy flow is obstructed, it may feel heavy or sluggish. Candlelight is also an effective tool for cleansing Ida Nadi energy, restoring joy and vibrancy to your subtle system.
Steps for Using the 3-Candle Technique:
Sit crossed-legged on the floor, or if using a chair, position the candles accordingly.
Use candles with substantial flames. Cut long candles in half and secure them on flat dishes. (Avoid using tea-light candles, as they provide insufficient light.)
Position two candles as follows:
The first candle behind your left hip.
The second candle is in front of your left hand.
- Use the third candle to trace the Ida Nadi: move it up and down the left side of your body, crossing your forehead to the right side of your head. Repeat this motion a few times. Then, circle the candle around each chakra in a clockwise motion from the hip to the forehead several times.
Finally, extinguish the third candle and sit with your right palm down towards the ground. Meditate in this position for a few minutes, allowing the candlelight to purify and balance your energy.
The Importance of Restoring Energy Flow
Balancing the Ida Nadi restores vibrational harmony, allowing for deeper meditation, self-realisation, and emotional well-being through these grounding and uplifting techniques.
