MOTD nervous system, ida & pingala
I've seen in the wellness space a lot of interest now in regulating the nervous system etc.
Below is a passage taken from Asana Pranayama Mudra Bandha which talks about the the relationship between ida and pingala and the corresponding effect on the nervous system.
Your ida nadi is dominant when your left nostril is flowing and your pingala nadi with your right nostril. Over a long time, increase awareness of this system, don't be in a rush to control anything as this is your fundamental life energy system and should be approached with the utmost self love and care. Awareness will grow with your committed and integrated yoga practice.
Below is the excerpt:
"Nadis and the nervous system
At the physical level, ida and pingala correspond to the two aspects of the autonomic nervous system. Pingala coincides with the sympathetic nervous system and ida with the parasympathetic nervous system.
The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the stimulation and acceleration of activities concerned with the external environment and the deceleration of the organs which tend to utilize a lot of energy internally. The sympathetic nerves speed up the heart, dilate the blood vessels, increase the respiration rate and intensify the efficiency of the eyes, ears and other sense organs.
The parasympathetic nerves directly oppose the sympathetic nerves because they reduce the heartbeat, constrict the blood vessels and slow the respiration. This results in introversion.
The flow of prana in ida and pingala is completely involuntary and unconscious until controlled by yogic practices."
