"GOING UPWARD THROUGH THAT, ONE BECOMES IMMORTAL."
-CHANDOGYA UPANISHAD
It's important for you to understand that your ethereal Self is simply an inner body that exists on a higher frequency, and as long as you are here on this material plane, this ethereal body will be in the same exact "location" or space as your physical body and thus it fits perfectly, like a glove, underneath it. I like to think of it as the Kryptonian suit that Superman wears underneath his human-made suit. In this metaphorical sense, it is your supernatural body that you've only temporarily forgotten.
Nadi translates as "stream" or "channel" and there are a total of 72,000 of these energy channels within the ethereal body but the three most important are the sushumna, ida, and pingala. The purpose of the nadi is to transport the life force energy (prana, chi, ki, mana), through the subtle body for the purpose of healing, empowering creativity, acquiring spiritual wisdom, and evolving into the Next Human. You could say that the veins and arteries of your physical body are much like the nadis of your ethereal body. Just as blood and oxygen of the physical body sustains its health and life, life force energy sustains the health and life of the subtle body.
Serpentine ida nadi represents the sacred feminine yin, which are aspects associated with the parasympathetic nervous system, negative polarity, lunar energy. It corresponds to the left nostril and transports prana that has a cooling, soothing, calming effect. Serpentine pingala nadi transports prana that corresponds to the sacred masculine yang, sympathetic nervous system, which are aspects associated with positive polarity, solar energy. It's connected to the right nostril and has a warming, energetic, exhilarating effect.
To experience your ethereal Self first hand, you must awaken the kundalini and enable her ascent up the sushumna nadi, which is the central canal that connects the root chakra-located in the coccyx or tailbone-all the way to the crown chakra-located at the exact center and top of the skull. You will recognize when the sushumna is active and transporting lots of life force when your body is tingling, twitching, jerking, or having involuntary muscle cramps or spasms. These are signs that the life force energy is alive and kicking within you and that your body is responding to the movement and flow of it through the channel of sushumna and in the process, being prepared for the ascent of the fiery Force, the Serpent of Light.
