Surya Nadi
see 'pingala nadi'
Sushumna Nadi ("very gracious channel") ...
When Hanuman ate the sun he stopped the flow of pingala nadi, also known as surya nadi. As a result the function of prana stopped, the heart and the brain ceased to work, and the other organs were nominally existing.
Ida is also called Chandra Nadi (moon) and Pingala as Surya Nadi (sun). Ida is cooling and Pingala is heating. Pingala digests the food. Ida is of pale, Sakti Rupa. It is the great nourisher of the world. Pingala is of fiery red, Rudra Rupa.
The Yogi should take his food at a time when Surya Nadi or Pingala is working, i.e., when the breath flows through the right nostril, because Pingala is heating and digests the food quickly.
It is said that energy paSes through ida (chandra) nadi on the inhalation and through pingala or surya nadi on the exhalation. These are larger nadis that hold the balance of magnetism and energy created by the sun and moon.
Inhale and exhale slowly through the right nostril (Surya Nadi) only.
Keep the left nostril closed all the time during the practice.
One cycle of inhalation and exhalation forms one round.
When spiral comes around to the right, the energy is said to flow in the pingala nadi; regarded as the "surya nadi" or "sun nadi" because when on the right, the energy is considered to be dominated by the solar force.
