1-Right channel(solar ,Pingla,Yang Energy): Contains the qualities which would commonly be identified with reasoning or intelligency or adoption to external world.
Prana is supposed to circulated inside pingla.Pingla present in right hand side of body and left hand side of brain. Pingla is corresponding to Ganga river.
2-left Channel( Lunar,Yion Energy): contain emotional half of our body and is concerned with internal things. Apana is supposed to circulates inside Ida.Ida is present in left hand side of body and right hand side of brain.Ida is corresponding to yamuna river.
