Breathing

[Guest guest]

Hi Bambino,

 

yes you are right, the 'activity' of the nostrils is changing. If I am not

mistaken, it will change every 12 hours (its gradually and slow, but you can

realize it). That's also the reason, why some yoga sets / kriyas have in the

morning a different effect than in the evening. To my understanding and

present knowledge, the breathing through the right nostril ('activation' of

pingala --> wakes up the left side of the brain) is stronger in the early

morning and this will make you more focussed, giving you the feeling of

being awake and 'ready'. The stronger breathing through the left nostril

('activation' of ida --> 'activation' of the right side of the brain, then

happening most naturally in the evening) will calm you down . Perhaps some

of the others could give more info on this issue...

 

Sat Nam,
