Swar Vigyan

6,666.00

The practice of Swarodaya involves observing and manipulating the flow of breath through these nostrils. It is believed that the breath flows alternately through the left and right nostrils in a cyclical pattern, and each nostril is associated with specific qualities and states of mind. For example:

  1. Left Nostril (Ida): Associated with the lunar energy, cooling, and calmness. It is believed that when the breath flows predominantly through the left nostril, it is a time for relaxation, meditation, and creative activities.
  2. Right Nostril (Pingala): Associated with solar energy, warmth, and activity. When the breath flows predominantly through the right nostril, it is considered a time for physical activity, alertness, and productivity.
  3. Sushumna Nadi: The central channel, associated with spiritual awakening and balance. It is believed that the breath flows through both nostrils equally during this state, leading to a balanced and harmonious state of mind.

Description

The Shiv Swarodaya, also known as Swara Yoga, is an ancient yogic and tantric practice that focuses on the awareness and control of the breath through the nostrils. It is a lesser-known but profound aspect of yoga and meditation. The term “Swarodaya” is derived from two Sanskrit words: “Svara,” which means “sound” or “note,” and “Udaya,” which means “rising” or “ascension.” Swarodaya is often translated as the “science of breath.”

In Swarodaya, it is believed that there are three main energy channels in the human body, known as “nadis”: Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna. These nadis are associated with the flow of prana (life force energy) and are connected to the left nostril (Ida), right nostril (Pingala), and central channel (Sushumna).

The practice of Swarodaya involves observing and manipulating the flow of breath through these nostrils. It is believed that the breath flows alternately through the left and right nostrils in a cyclical pattern, and each nostril is associated with specific qualities and states of mind. For example:

  1. Left Nostril (Ida): Associated with the lunar energy, cooling, and calmness. It is believed that when the breath flows predominantly through the left nostril, it is a time for relaxation, meditation, and creative activities.
  2. Right Nostril (Pingala): Associated with solar energy, warmth, and activity. When the breath flows predominantly through the right nostril, it is considered a time for physical activity, alertness, and productivity.
  3. Sushumna Nadi: The central channel, associated with spiritual awakening and balance. It is believed that the breath flows through both nostrils equally during this state, leading to a balanced and harmonious state of mind.

Practitioners of Swarodaya aim to harmonize the flow of breath through these channels to achieve physical and mental balance, enhance their meditation practice, and optimize their daily activities based on the dominant nostril flow.

While Swarodaya is not as well-known as some other forms of yoga, it is considered an essential aspect of tantric yoga and meditation practices. It requires guidance from experienced practitioners and is typically learned through oral tradition or from ancient texts that discuss the subject.
