The Gate
Parighāsana
Card Meaning & Symbolism
Parighāsana opens the lateral body and ribcage, creating space for expanded breathing and the flow of vital energy.
Historical Context
Gates in Vedic tradition mark sacred thresholds between ordinary and divine realms. The body is described as having nine gates (nava-dvāra) through which consciousness interacts with the world. Tantric anatomy maps numerous energy gates that must be opened for spiritual advancement. Like temple gates that admit only the prepared, this pose opens internal passages for enhanced awareness.
