There are three major currents which emanate from the Chakra system

• the East West current
• the Spiral current
• the Long Line currents

The East West current is also referred to as the Transverse current. It is Sattvic and neutral. It emanates fromt he top and bottom of the body and spirals transversely around the body. It helps to bind the energy of the parasympathetic nervous system to the core.

The Spiral current is derived from the fire Centre and is responsible for the Rajasic qualities of movement and expansion. It originates from the ubilical region and sends warming, healing, vital energy throughout the body. It corresponds to the sympathetic nervous system.

The Long Line currents emanate individually from each Chakra. These are Tamasic in hature and each current takes on the characteristics of a particular chakra. So the current from the Air center or chakra is called the Air current. The long line currents correlate to the five senses and the central nervous system.
