I have a bit of a technical question: it's this quote. I don't understand it very well because in my understanding Sushumna was supposed to finish in the Brahmarandhra; or cavity of Brahma. So I don't understand how it ends up in the middle of the nostrils. Where the nasal septum joins the upper lip, that's the bottom of the separation between the nostrils right? Where some people put a nose ring. Like a bull. My understanding is that Sushumna goes up the spine; crosses in the back of neck where it splits in two. There: one portion of it crosses horizontally to the forehead; while the other part keeps going vertically up the head to Brahmarandhra. And they both meet at Brahmarandhra. Could somebody be so kind to explain this quote. Or is it some sort of extension?
