Many of my students asked me about the relationships between the 12 meridians, the ayurvedic herbs, and the 72,000 nadis. This article explores how the 12 meridians and the associated Ayurveda herbs work in harmony to promote holistic well-being.

The relationships between the 12 meridians, Ayurvedic herbs, and the 72,000 nadis highlight the intricate interplay of energy systems within the body and beyond.

In TCM, the 12 meridians are considered the primary pathways through which Qi (vital energy) flows. Each meridian is associated with specific organs and functions. Normally, we consider the 12 meridians to be part of the 72,000 Nadis energy network. The 114 chakras and the 12 meridians are deeply interlinked.

The connection between TCM’s 12 meridians and Ayurvedic herbs lies in their shared goal of achieving harmony and balance within the body. By addressing imbalances in the meridians using appropriate Ayurvedic herbs, individuals can support the flow of Qi and promote overall well-being.

While, the 72,000 nadis gives  a broader exploration of energy channels and their impact on holistic well-being. However, by addressing imbalances in the meridians or the nadis using appropriate Ayurvedic herbs, individuals can support the flow of Qi and promote overall well-being.

Life has so many dances. The dances of breath, experiences of joy and sorrow, praise and criticism—”dance” is a magical term. It has so many meanings. Dance is everywhere. Lord Shiva’s cosmic dance symbolizes the essence of existence. Dance of the birds, dances of the tiny cells in the body. All are the signatures of divinity.

Mindfulness is recognizing the beauty of the universe’s pulses in our own heartbeats. Within the dance of higher spirituality, we find communion with the cosmos, uniting our individual rhythms with the heartbeat of the universe.

Imagine you are simply observing the rhythm of your breath. It has enormous capacity to rewire your brain. Imagine a peaceful moment in which you become a mute observer of your breath’s rhythmic dance. An extraordinary force takes root in this simple yet profound act of mindful witnessing. The gentle rise and fall of your breath has the extraordinary ability to rewire the intricate neural pathways in your brain, resulting in a profound inner transformation.

The dance of kindness heals wounds, the dance of words weaves the fabric of understanding, and the dance of behavior choreographs a world of grace and respect. In this quote, I emphasize the significance of mindfulness paired with witnessing, a potent duo that unveils the symphony of the universe residing within our very being.… Read more..
