Tibetan Buddhism

Channels, Winds, and Drops

The subtle body system used in advanced tantric practice.

The subtle body consists of nadis (channels), pranas (winds/energies), and bindus (drops/essences). Advanced practices work with these to transform ordinary experience into enlightenment.

When the winds enter the central channel, enlightenment dawns.
