Stress

Advice given by H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi:

“The common problem is the stress. Now why this stress is there, that also you should know. Ida and Pingla are two channels and they cross each other at optic chiasma. Pingla Nadi (Right sympathetic) creates ego balloon, Ida Nadi (Left sympathetic) creates super ego balloon (due to conditionings). When you are too right sided then ego moves and covers the left side, so there is a block, whatever problem you have it cannot pass out of your body. Then you become weaker and weaker. That is how you have stress.”
