There are three main power currents (‘nerve currents’ or ‘nadis’) in the human personal energy field. These are the ida, the pingala, and the sushumna. The sushumna is shown as a column of white light that runs vertically along the spine. Through the sushumna flows the central vertical power current or ‘kundalini’ of the human energy field. The ida is shown as a wavy white line of light originating at the left side of the base of the spine, coursing upward through the chakras to the third-eye point (6th chakra). The cooling and relaxing energy of the ida courses through the left nostril. The pingala is shown as a wavy tawny-colored line of light originating at the right side of the base of the spine, coursing upward through the chakras to the third-eye point (6th chakra). The warming and invigorating energy of the pingala courses through the right nostril. Personal chakras 1 through 7 (those within the torso) are depicted as spheres of light. The colors, from lowest to highest, are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The indigo sphere of light at the level of the eyebrows (or slightly higher) represents the third-eye point (the 6th chakra or ‘ajna’). The violet sphere of light at the top of the head represents the crown chakra (the 7th chakra or ‘many-petaled lotus’). These two are related to the pineal gland and the pituitary gland, which are located quite close together in the human brain.

TO THE LEFT OF THE 6TH CHAKRA IS THE LABEL ‘PINEAL GLAND’. The violet sphere of light at the top of the head represents the crown chakra (the 7th chakra or ‘many-petaled lotus’). The third-eye point and the crown chakra are related to the pineal gland and the pituitary gland, which are located quite close together in the human brain. I represent their close association in the drawing as the stem of the lotus flower. Vertically along the path of the woman’s spine in the neck and head is depicted the white sushumna, the major ‘nerve current’ or nadi’ of the human energy field. The sushumna is sometimes termed the ‘Central Vertical Power Current’ or the ‘kundalini’ energy.
