LEFT CHANNEL
The left channel relates to emotions, desires, and your connection with the past. And so, whenever you desire something or use your emotions, your attention moves to the left channel.
Your left energy channel begins at the 1st chakra (Mooladhara) and travels up the left side of your body, terminating on the right side of your brain. In our subtle system, this part of your brain is the superego. This is where our memories, habits, and conditionings reside. Everything that influences us – things your parents and friends taught you, your identification with your race, ethnicity, or nationality and its associated culture – is stored in your superego.
The essential quality of the left energy channel is joy. Remember when you were a young child and you’d wake up happy every morning? The joy carried by the left energy channel feels just like that. As adults, we long for that feeling. This joy still lives within us and can be awakened through meditation.

Candle Flame
Are you feeling lethargic, overly emotional, or depressed? The left channel works correctly when we are in a balanced emotional state. This channel can freeze when out of balance, leaving us sad or helpless. To bring light and heat back indoors, try a candle flame.
