Exploring the Energy Body and Nadis in Tantric Practice

This week's solo episode clearly and precisely explains the energy body, or subtle body (sūkṣma-śarīra), as understood in Classical Tantra—the tradition that originated these terms. I share precise definitions of terms such as nādī (energy channels), chakra (energy centers), and bindu (essence point), while addressing some of the most widely held myths and misunderstandings related to these concepts. We explore the notion that the energy body is synonymous with the psyche or mental-emotional body, highlighting how it interpenetrates the entire physical body rather than residing solely in the brain. This understanding profoundly impacts both our practice and our experience.
