The Forgotten Energy Highways of the Human Body
You've heard of chakras...!
But do you know about the 36 primary Nadis - the hidden currents of energy that govern your physical, mental & spiritual power.
1. What are Nadis?
In Yogic anatomy, Nadis are subtle energy channels - not physical nerves, but pathways through which prana (life force) flows.
Like rivers in the body, they connect chakras and vital points.
Your energy doesn’t just stay still - it flows.
2. According to the Satchakranirupana, an ancient Tantric text, there are 72,000 Nadis in the body.
Out of these, 36 are the main Nadis - each with a specific function, vibration, and spiritual purpose.
They are the forgotten architecture of your energetic body.
3. Here are a few powerful Nadis from the 36:
🔸Ida: The lunar Nadi, feminine, cooling, governs the left side
🔸Pingala : Solar, masculine, warming, governs the right
🔸Sushumna: Central channel, awakening of Kundalini happens here
These 3 form the Trinity of Energy.
4. But the 36 include far more intricate channels:
🔸Gandhari – linked to intuition
🔸Alambusha – near the perineum, tied to root chakra
🔸Yashasvini – channel of victory & strength
🔸Vrunda (Payeswini) – associated with nourishment
Each one is a mantra in motion
5. Each Nadi is also linked to a specific chakra, and helps unlock:
🔸Physical health
🔸Mental clarity
🔸Emotional stability
🔸Spiritual ascent
When energy is blocked in any Nadi, imbalance follows. When opened - transformation begins.
6. Through practices like:
✅ Pranayama (breathwork)
✅ Bhramari (humming)
✅ Bandhas (energy locks)
✅ Mantra chanting
✅ Kundalini kriyas
...you begin to purify and awaken these 36 energy rivers.
This is true biohacking - Vedic style
7. Modern science studies neurons.
Ancient Rishis studied Nadis.
Where science sees synapses,
Yogis saw Shakti in motion.
The more you tune into these 36, the more aligned your outer life becomes with your inner power grid.
8. Think of it like this:
Your body is the hardware.
Your mind is the operating system.
Your chakras are the control centers.
And your Nadis are the wires and highways that power it all.
Without healthy Nadis, your spiritual system lags.
9. Want to experience the shift?
Start small:
Sit still.
Breathe deep.
Focus on your spine.
Visualize light flowing through you.
That's how you begin activating these divine circuits.
The ancient yogis left us a user manual to divinity.
10. These 36 Nadis are not mythology
They are mystical anatomy, verified through thousands of years of meditative exploration.
Want to awaken your full potential?
Start where energy truly begins to move! The melting pot 🍯
The Zodiac and the Nadis:
The twelve signs of the zodiac are associated with specific nadis and their corresponding vayus.
By understanding the connection between the signs and the nadis, practitioners can harness the energies of these signs during their yogic practices.
The following are some examples of the relationship between the zodiac signs and the nadis:
1. Aries (Mesha) - Ida nadi - Prana vayu
2. Taurus (Vrishabha) - Pingala nadi - Udana vayu
3. Gemini (Mithuna) - Sushumna nadi - Vyana vayu
4. Cancer (Karka) - Gandhari nadi - Naga vayu
5. Leo (Simha) - Hamsajihvika nadi - Kurma vayu
6. Virgo (Kanya) - Pusha nadi - Krikala vayu
7. Libra (Tula) - Yasha nadi - Devadatta vayu
8. Scorpio (Vrishchika) - Vyusha nadi - Dhananjaya vayu
9. Sagittarius (Dhanu) - Kuhu nadi - Prana vayu
10. Capricorn (Makara) - Shankhinika nadi - Apana vayu
11. Aquarius (Kumbha) - Ida nadi - Samana vayu
12. Pisces (Meena) - Pingala nadi - Udana vayu
Planetary Influences on Swara:
The nine planets in Vedic astrology (Navagrahas) also have a significant impact on the flow of prana within the body.
Each planet governs specific aspects of our lives and has a unique vibration.
By attuning to the energy of the planets, practitioners can enhance their yogic practices and align themselves with the cosmic forces at play.
Here are some examples of the relationship between the planets and the nadis:
1. Sun (Surya) - Pingala nadi
2. Moon (Chandra) - Ida nadi
3. Mars (Mangala) - Sushumna nadi
4. Mercury (Budha) - Gandhari nadi
5. Jupiter (Guru) - Hamsajihvika nadi
6. Venus (Shukra) - Pusha nadi
7. Saturn (Shani) - Yasha nadi
8. Rahu (North Node) - Vyusha nadi
9. Ketu (South Node) - Kuhu nadi
Swara Yoga and Astrological Timing:
In Swara Shastra, the timing of yogic practices is crucial for maximizing the benefits of these practices.
By aligning Yogic practices with specific astrological events, such as the phases of the moon, planetary transits, and the daily planetary hours (hora), practitioners can harness the power of celestial energies to support their spiritual growth.
For example, during the waxing moon (Shukla Paksha), the Ida nadi is dominant, making it an ideal time for introspection, spiritual practices, and nurturing activities.
Conversely, during the waning moon (Krishna Paksha), the Pingala nadi is dominant, making it a more suitable time for engaging in physical activities, creative pursuits, and decision-making.
Please note that this is a very general introduction and there are many finer subtleties that can be learned only under the guidance of a Guru, e.g. the rising and falling of Tattvas during different times of the day.
Another important aspect of astrological timing in Swara Shastra is the concept of planetary hours, or horas.
By engaging in specific practices during the horas associated with a particular nadi or vayu, practitioners can enhance the efficacy of their practice and attune to the energies of that planet.
Advanced Practices in Swara Shastra:
In addition to the basic principles of Swara Shastra, there are advanced practices that involve the integration of various aspects of yoga and astrology.
These practices include the use of specific mudras, bandhas, & asanas that correspond to the nadis, vayus, & astrological influences.
Explaining the advanced practices is outside the scope of Twitter and way beyond the knowledge and experience of the writer!
Om Tat Sat!
Swara Shastra
There are the ten main nadis (channels of subtle energy) through which the ten vayus (types of prana or vital energy) flow.
The 10 Nadis are:
1. Ida
2. Pingala
3. Sushumna
4. Gandhari
5. Hamsajihvika
6. Pusha
7. Yasha
8. Vyusha
9. Kuhu
10. Shankhinika
These 10 Vayus are:
1. Prana
2. Apana
3. Samana
4. Udana
5. Vyana
6. Naga
7. Kurma
8. Krikala
9. Devadatta, and
10. dhananjaya.
Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna are the three nadis through which Yogis with the knowledge of Swara Shastra perceive the subtle movement of prana in the body.
Ida nadi flows from the heart towards the left nostril, carrying prana vayu, while Pingala nadi flows from the heart towards the right nostril, carrying udana vayu. The Jihvika nadi is located in the navel region and carries samana vayu, while Sushumna nadi carries the vayu named vyana.
Similarly, the five nadis starting with Pusha carry the five vayus starting with Naga.
According to some sages, the ten vayus flow through the two nostrils, eyes, ears, mouth, navel, anus, and Brahmarandhra.
The nadi flowing from the left nostril is called Ida, which carries the Chandra (lunar) vayu. Therefore, it is called Chandra-vahini nadi.
The Pingala nadi flows from the right nostril and carries Surya (solar) vayu. Therefore, it is called Surya-vahini nadi.
The Sushumna nadi is the central channel and carries Shambhu (divine) vayu. Therefore, it is called Shambhu-nadi.
Vayu coming out in exhalation is ह-कार and going in during inhalation is स-कार. Therefore ह-कार is representative of Shambhu and सकार is representative of Shakti.

LLM Knowledge Bases
Something I'm finding very useful recently: using LLMs to build personal knowledge bases for various topics of research interest. In this way, a large fraction of my recent token throughput is going less into manipulating code, and more into manipulating knowledge (stored as markdown and images). The latest LLMs are quite good at it. So:
Data ingest:
I index source documents (articles, papers, repos, datasets, images, etc.) into a raw/ directory, then I use an LLM to incrementally "compile" a wiki, which is just a collection of .md files in a directory structure. The wiki includes summaries of all the data in raw/, backlinks, and then it categorizes data into concepts, writes articles for them, and links them all. To convert web articles into .md files I like to use the Obsidian Web Clipper extension, and then I also use a hotkey to download all the related images to local so that my LLM can easily reference them.
IDE:
I use Obsidian as the IDE "frontend" where I can view the raw data, the the compiled wiki, and the derived visualizations. Important to note that the LLM writes and maintains all of the data of the wiki, I rarely touch it directly. I've played with a few Obsidian plugins to render and view data in other ways (e.g. Marp for slides).
Q&A:
Where things get interesting is that once your wiki is big enough (e.g. mine on some recent research is ~100 articles and ~400K words), you can ask your LLM agent all kinds of complex questions against the wiki, and it will go off, research the answers, etc. I thought I had to reach for fancy RAG, but the LLM has been pretty good about auto-maintaining index files and brief summaries of all the documents and it reads all the important related data fairly easily at this ~small scale.
Output:
Instead of getting answers in text/terminal, I like to have it render markdown files for me, or slide shows (Marp format), or matplotlib images, all of which I then view again in Obsidian. You can imagine many other visual output formats depending on the query. Often, I end up "filing" the outputs back into the wiki to enhance it for further queries. So my own explorations and queries always "add up" in the knowledge base.
Linting:
I've run some LLM "health checks" over the wiki to e.g. find inconsistent data, impute missing data (with web searchers), find interesting connections for new article candidates, etc., to incrementally clean up the wiki and enhance its overall data integrity. The LLMs are quite good at suggesting further questions to ask and look into.
Extra tools:
I find myself developing additional tools to process the data, e.g. I vibe coded a small and naive search engine over the wiki, which I both use directly (in a web ui), but more often I want to hand it off to an LLM via CLI as a tool for larger queries.
Further explorations:
As the repo grows, the natural desire is to also think about synthetic data generation + finetuning to have your LLM "know" the data in its weights instead of just context windows.
TLDR: raw data from a given number of sources is collected, then compiled by an LLM into a .md wiki, then operated on by various CLIs by the LLM to do Q&A and to incrementally enhance the wiki, and all of it viewable in Obsidian. You rarely ever write or edit the wiki manually, it's the domain of the LLM. I think there is room here for an incredible new product instead of a hacky collection of scripts.
