A comparison Sen Prathan Sib theory with Nadis (energy lines or paths)
of
yoga shows that both of them have some similarities such as the belief in the
routes of wind element
(air
element),
the
number of routes or lines (totaling 72,000),
and
three lines of Sen Prathan Sib and three lines of Nadis having the same names
(i.e. Ida, Pingala, Sushumna).
The
main path of Ida in Thai massage is on the left side of the body and Pingala is
on the right side,
while
the Nadi Ida and Nadi Pingala cross each other on the left and right sides of
the body.
Moreover,
the wind line of Ida in Thai massage and Nadi Ida are the same (wind of the
moon);
and
the wind of Pingala in Thai massage and Nadi Pingala are the same (wind of the
sun).
The
main paths of Sushumna in Thai massage and Nadi Sushumna are in the midline of
the body.
*
Ida nadi relates to the right side of the brain, and the left side of the body,
terminating at the left nostril.
Pingala
nadi relates to the left side of the brain and the right side of the body,
terminating at the right nostril.
Sushumna
nadi connects the base chakra at the base of the spine to the crown chakra at
the top of the head.
The
practice of pranayama can be used to balance the flow of prana within the body.
When
prana vayu enters a period of uplifted, intensified activity, the yogic
tradition refers to it as pranotthana,
a
precursor to the Kundalini state.

Prana is often referred to as the "life force" or "life
energy", flowing in channels called Nadi (Nadis)
which
are a term for the channels through which, in traditional Veda medicine,
Thai-Siam
massage and spiritual science, the energies of the physical body, the subtle
body and the causal body are said to flow.
Within
this philosophical framework, the nadis are said to connect at special points
of intensity called nadichakras.
The
concepts of a subtle body and a causal body are not recognised terms used in
conventional science or medicine.
