Rasanā

Diagram showing the three main channels (nadi) of the subtle body, along with five chakras (energetic centers).

rasanā (T. ro ma). "Right channel." One of the three primary channels (nāḍī) of the subtle body, along with the central channel (avadhūtī) and the left channel (lalanā).

The right channel is most often described as either white or red, depending on the system of practice.

Tsepak Rigdzin states:

Right channel; right energy-channel. Red in color and stands adjacent to the central energy channel, it runs from the level of the eye-brows, to somewhat below the navel, the specific details varying according to the lineage and practice of the tantra concerned.
