- Definition: In yoga and Ayurveda, the Sushumna Nadi is the central energy channel in the human subtle body. It is said to run along the spinal column, from the base (Muladhara Chakra) to the crown (Sahasrara Chakra), and serves as the primary pathway for spiritual energy (kundalini) to ascend during advanced yoga practices.
- Origin: Derived from Sanskrit, where “Sushumna” means “gracious” or “kind,” and “Nadi” refers to a channel or flow.
