Nyas is the focussing of energy flow through the medium of the fingers joined together at the tips.

By doing nyas, we focus our spiritual energy by directing our bunched fingers towards a particular energy centre (or chakra).For example, if the remedy was to do nyas on the Adnya-chakra (the energy centre in the mid-brow region) it would look like this picture. Nyas can also be done with both hands, on two different chakras or energy centres at a time.

Nyaas should always be accompanied by chanting. By chanting we imbibe divine energy of the aspect of God Whose Name we chant. By doing nyas, we channelise the divine energy derived from the chanting to that particular spiritual energy centre. By doing so, that energy is dispersed to the organs in that area.

If your hand starts aching during the course of doing nyas you can bring your hand down and rest it for some time or you can change your hand.
