Jump to: navigation, search

Sushumna is a Nadi in the human subtle body. It is one of the body's main energy channels that connects the base chakra to the crown chakra.

It is very important in Yoga and Tantra in general. Alternative medicine also refers to Sushumna sometimes.

Ida, Pingala and shushumna are the three important nadis in human subtle body. In Raja Yoga or Yoga of Patanjali, when the mind is quietened through Yama, Niyama, Asana and Pranayama the important state of Pratyahara begins. When a person enters this state, he/she never complains of Dispersion of Mind. This is characterised by observing the movements/jerks in Shushumna, the central canal in the subtle body. The movements indicate the flow of Prana through the central canal and in the process, the shushumna makes the way for the ascent of Kundalini.
