DEDICATION AND DEVOTION
This book is a compilation of teachings from the traditions of Yoga and Chinese Medicine.
First and foremost, I bow to the great Dark Mother Kali, the most beautiful and compassionate force, the real Liberator who even slays herself, the Mother of God.
Thank you. I love you. Jai Kali Ma!!
I bow to all the Gods and to the great Shiva in the form of Hanuman
the Golden King of Monkeys, selfless and humble. Jai Hanuman!!
Without my teachers and my teachers teachers and so on there would be no knowledge to pass on. Our teachers devoted their minds, hearts and bodies to the study and practice, teaching for the sake of all life and consciousness.
Thank you. I bow to You.
This book is devoted to all Yogis and Healers everywhere,
to Sri Dharma Mittra the Master Yogi, to Sri Bhagavan Das the Master of Bhakti,
to Dr Mark Seem a fierce pioneer in American Acupuncture theory, to Jay Yarnall the Secret Master of Tantra, to Anatole Nguyen the radiant Guide. And especially to my Mother who was not afraid, always patiently loves and never gives up (that is stronger than anything)
and my Father who inspires me to work hard every day with righteousness, faith and
detachment. And to Jerson who stood beside me.
Thank you. I love you.
Highest gratitude for Yoshio Hama, Jan Brady, Suzie Diano, Gregory Weglarski, Jared McCann, Kathy Hallen, Nina Be, Loren Caldwell (it must be cold there), Anna Edwards, Kasey Vidaud, Jana Chatterjee and all women everywhere.
We are all Women. We are all Kali.
LOVE FOREVER
TABLE OF CONTENTS
INTRODUCTION
This book results from my personal synthesis of Yoga and Chinese Medicine. I was lucky to have a few very powerful Master teachers who were living embodiments of what they taught. My teachers were so fiercely passionate about their path that they transmitted it in its strongest form. As a student of two seemingly different paths, I was challenged to find a way to integrate them.
Chinese medicine at first seems to be a healing science, but it is based in ancient spiritual practices that restore and balance the mind and consciousness. Yoga at first seems to be a spiritual practice, but it works by first healing the physical body, calming the emotions, focusing the mind and then allowing the natural wisdom of the Self to blossom.
I am convinced they are both powerful attempts to explain the same thing the human experience.
What is the difference between practices that focus on healing the body and practices that
focus on Self-Realization?
In order to begin to utilize these two systems together, one commits a considerable amount of time to learning them. I encourage you to use and experiment with the material contained within. Study the lines and learn the information. Then, recall it during practice. Remember the organs and gradually develop the ability to sense their movement and quality during your asana, pranayama and meditation practices.
THE SCIENCE OF MERIDIANS
Matrix by Jana Chaterjee
THE BASICS OF ENERGY PATHWAYS
MERIDIANS = ENERGY PATHWAYS IN THE PHYSICAL BODY
Meridians are pathways in the body that form a continuous web-like network along which vital energy flows. Unlike the nerves and blood vessels, the meridians do not have visible structures. However, they do travel through the physical body, mainly along the fascia or connective tissue that extends through and connects every cell and structure. There are 12 regular meridians that function physiologically and emotionally. These are named after the organs. There are also 8 Extraordinary channels that function more subtly and are used in spiritual cultivation.
THE 12 REGULAR MERIDIANS
- Connected to and named after the abdominal organs.
- Run along the surface of the body with bilateral symmetry.
- Have internal branches that connect to one or more internal organs.
- Relate to physiological processes, musculoskeletal functions, and emotions.
- Have a corresponding myofascial pathway. (muscles and connective tissue)
- Form a continuous network that cycles every 24 hours:
LUNG > LARGE INTESTINE > STOMACH > SPLEEN > HEART > SMALL INTESTINE > BLADDER > KIDNEY > PERICARDIUM > TRIPLE HEATER > GALL BLADDER > LIVER > LUNG
THE 8 EXTRAORDINARY CHANNELS
- Function more subtly.
- Function before birth.
- Used to treat long-standing or spiritual issues.
- Used for spiritual cultivation.
- Named for their functions rather than organs.
- Do not form a continuous network.
- Serve as reservoirs for energy that overflows from the 12 regular channels.
- Help balance Yin and Yang within the body and mind.
NADIS = ENERGY PATHWAYS IN THE PHYSICAL BODY
Nadis are part of the traditional yoga system. They are pathways in the body through which prana or subtle energy flows. There are between 72,000 and 350,000 Nadis. They are not physical structures. The pathways of most Nadis are not specifically described in any text. Below are a list of the most important Nadis from Iyengars Light on Pranayama. The Nadis listed below all start in the womb, much like the main spiritual vessels of the meridian system. There are also a number of Nadis that start and emerge from the heart.
CHAKRA = ENERGY CENTER WHERE NADIS CROSS
The word Chakra means wheel. The chakras can be visualized as vortices of energy that lie in specific points in the body where the Nadis cross or join together. The Chakras are used as focal points in meditation. The most important Chakras lie along the front of the spinal column or midline of the body. Other Chakras are found in the joints, hands and feet.
The Chakras do not have physical counterparts they cannot be found as structures within the physical body. Originally, the Chakras were associated with Sanskrit mantras, syllables, Yantras, and specific Deities. The Chakras seem to correspond with regions of the spinal cord and the emanating nerve roots and nerve plexi. Some Masters also correlate the Chakras with endocrine glands. The Chakras are a useful tool for accessing emotional, psychological and spiritual healing. Focusing on specific Chakras can be useful for healing the physical body also.
IMPORTANT CHAKRAS
COMPARING MERIDIANS AND NADIS
SAME:
- Meridians and Nadis are both pathways that conduct subtle energy throughout all parts of the body.
- Both systems are derived from self-study and internal cultivation rather than objective observation.
- Neither system has a clear physical structure associated with the pathways though they may be intermittently associated with various vessels, connective tissue structures, etc.
- Neither Nadis nor meridians have been demonstrated sufficiently by modern science. Both meridians and nadis affect the body-mind on all levels from gross physiological processes to subtle variations in consciousness.
