Guest guest Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 OUCH?.... that's right! 1 - Don't use tap water! 2 - the salinity and temperature should match that of your blood.....estimate it. And even doing everything correcting, expect some light "burning". Do a search of the archives to get all that has been written by several on this list, especially Gayatri N. Sat Nam, Dharam For sinus over-sensitivity I do the following (btw, I think perfumes should go the way of cigarettes in public places) Mens wake up series 1. Cat stretch 4 -5x times 2. Arms and legs up 90 degrees with LDB* 3. Push pull legs 18 w/ arms along side 4. Cobra pose w/ tongue out and eyes wide open 5. Cat cow 3 mins 6. Baby pose 7. Triangle pose with alternate limbs held for 3 mins. Switch sides 8. Massage nose up sides to eyebrow and sockets, out to temple, around ears and jaw joints * Long deep breath Krishan Shiva Kaur wrote: > Dear Yogins, > > I just had a painful experience with Neti. > > I went to a job interview, where two women were wearing very strong > perfume, > which I was allergic to, so decided to do a Neti, which I don't do > regularly, in fact, hardly ever. > > I filled the pot with lukewarm water mixed from the two taps in my > sink. and > got a pinch of salt and mixed it in.

I am thinking that it is #4 and #7 that make this set particularly good for guys, but I don't see any reason why a woman shouldn't do it. The Navel work, Cat-Cow and Baby pose are staples. 1. Cat stretch 4 -5x times 2. Arms and legs up 90 degrees with LDB* (2 - 3 minutes) 3. Push – pull legs 18” w/ arms along side (I like to do this for 4-5 minutes. It gives me a real deep adjustment) 4. Cobra pose w/ tongue out and eyes wide open (3 minutes) 5. Cat – cow 3 mins 6. Baby pose (3 minutes) 7. Triangle pose with alternate limbs held for 3 mins. Switch sides (do your best) 8. Massage nose up sides to eyebrow and sockets, out to temple, around ears and jaw joints. * Long deep breath > >Sat Nam, >Krishan Shiva Kaur > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 Thanks for the info Dharam, >(btw, I think perfumes >should go the way of cigarettes in public places) You know it!!! and the thing is, that the more I practice BOF and other pranayama, the more I become really sensitive to being around these types of air pollutants. > For sinus over-sensitivity I do the following : > Men's wake up series I take it, that this series is also fine for women to do? ;-) I'll give it a go.
