Pingala is a term from ancient Indian texts that refers to one of the two main energy channels in the body, according to yoga and Ayurveda. It is associated with the solar energy and is believed to run along the right side of the body, complementing the ida channel, which is linked to lunar energy. In the context of kundalini yoga, activating pingala is thought to enhance vitality and mental clarity. Balancing both pingala and ida channels is essential for achieving harmony and spiritual growth, as they represent opposing forces that contribute to overall well-being.
