Self-Pulse Reading
 Self-
pulse reading (Maharishi Nadi
Vigyan) is a natural way of measuring the
expressions of our consciousness in the
physiology.
The Body Is An Expression of
the Inner Intelligence
 How
 How
many cells do we have?…
many chemical reactions in each
cell per second?
Main Point 1
 The
pulse measures the level of balance
and imbalance in the physiology.
 Putting our attention on the pulse helps
balance it.
Main Point 2
 We
place three fingers on the radial pulse
at the wrist and feel the impulses of
intelligence.
 Pulse allows us to assess balance
between intelligence and matter, between
consciousness and physiology.
Three Doshas

are three streams of intelligence

Invitation
Our message to the individual to live a
well-coordinated, integrated life is
“the intelligence is there inside, within
you, which is absolutely, marvelously
healthy because it is immortal, it is
eternal”.
Invitation
So my message for
every individual is
to have this
knowledge of the
inner intelligence
of the body, and
on this basis live
perfection in life.
