According to astrology, the wife sleeping on the left side of the husband strengthens emotional harmony and sweetness in the relationship, promoting gentleness and balance
In Sanatan Dharma, during a marriage, the wife is asked to sit on the left side of the husband. This practice continues during pujas and religious rituals, where the wife always sits on the left side. The wife is also referred to as Vaamangi, meaning ‘the owner of the left side’.
Not only in rituals, but according to astrology, the wife should always sleep on the left side of the husband. This is not just a Vedic rule; it also has a deep connection to mental health. While these rules may seem normal, there is profound scientific reasoning behind them. Jyotishacharya Anshu Sharma explains why a wife should sleep on the left side of the husband.
Surya Nadi and Chandra Nadi
Astrologer and Vastu expert Anshu Sharma said that the reason behind the wife sleeping on the left side is rooted in the Surya Nadi and Chandra Nadi of the body. Surya Nadi, located on the right side, represents energy, enthusiasm, and decision-making ability. Chandra Nadi, located on the left side, represents gentleness, peace, and emotional balance. Chandra Nadi, also known as Ida Nadi, is linked to the cool and peaceful nature of the moon. When this nadi is dominant, it brings calm and peace to the person. Activation of Chandra Nadi induces a cool and comfortable feeling for both the body and mind. On the other hand, Surya Nadi, also known as Pingala Nadi, represents warm, luminous, and active energy, much like the Sun.
Science Behind Wife Sleeping On Left Side
When the husband and wife are together, the wife’s position on the left strengthens emotional harmony and sweetness in the relationship. If the wife were to sleep on the husband’s right side, it could affect his decision-making ability, energy, and enthusiasm. Sleeping on the left side promotes gentleness and harmony within the relationship.
Activating Chandra Nadi also provides physical coolness and relaxation, reducing mental distractions, anxiety, and stress. Balancing and activating Chandra Nadi has several health benefits, including improving digestion, sleep, and heart rate.
