Discretion is the one that lets you judge what is good and bad for you…what is benelovent and what is good for the collective and your ascent. Intelligence cannot give you discretion. Discretion of the Ida nadi is the intution… if you develop that discretion within you through your meditative powers you develop intuition… and intuition is nothing but the help of the ganas surrouning you… if you take their help you bacome intuitive. Sahajayoga is 50% based on intuition and for that you have to develop a proper sense of Shri Ganesha. 

On one side is Shri Krishna to give us discretion and on the other we have Shri Christ in between is placed the Hamsa Chakra. Shri Krishna looks after the conditioning side of it and Shri Christ looks after the ego part.

Hamsa is a very material thing and thus has to be cleared on the material level only, and this is where you get problems like colds, coughs an sinusitis. All this results from drying up of the nose.

Ways to balance the hamsa chakra:

1. Breathing: Slowly breathe in through one nostril, hold your breath and then breathe out through the other, now breathe through the same nostril hold your breath and exhale through the other. Repeat 3-4 times.

2.Gargling: For the thoat gargling with salt is a good thing, for sahajyogis it’s a must to gargle every morning as a treatment for the vishuddhi. Also, for the vishuddhi we can eat the butter or take it on hot water so that it lines the epithileal cells of the throat. Coughs can also be cured by gargling.

3. Nose: A drop of ghee in each nostril twice a day will help the bad hamsa, which can result from dryness at home or in the workplace.
