Guest guest Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Dear Akash, Left nostril breathing calms you down for a good sleep. Right nostril breathing energizes. Do not do before going to bed. Sat nam, Guru Rattana :+) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Sat Nam ,In my class today after our set I was bedding the girls down for shavasana and one 12 year old whispered to me. Can you help me. I can not sleep at night. After class she came to my mat and I gave her some suggestions. She said she falls to sleep fine but all night long she has terrible dreams and in this state of intense dreaming she never falls into REM sleep. What is a kriya to get rid of bad dreams?

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Sat Nam Jiwan Shakti kaur jee/All, I would certainly want to practise based on your advice however while I was going through the pages : I saw that in one of the exercises Breath Of Fire should be practiced as part of daily bedtime meditation. here is the exact page:kundalini yogakyt16.html I do not bring this up to contradict to what you said but to obviously be clear in my mind and throw sum light on my ignorance. Also please share simple kriya to shed any kind os insecurity, and increase self confidence Kundaliniyoga wolfsister_harmony Tue, 3 Feb 2009 12:25:27 -0800 Re: Kundalini Yoga Breathing Patterns Before Sleep?

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Sat Naam Akash I looked on the page that you are talking about and I do not see any Breath Of Fire mentioned...so I'm not sure what to say about that... what I saw was Shabd Kriya, which is a 4 stroke breath (sniffing in 4 strokes/exhaling 4 strokes) then I also saw Left nostril breathing, which we said was to relax you. I hope this helps to clarify... with blessings Jiwan Shakti Kaur --- On Mon, 2/9/09, akash sachdev <akashsachdev wrote: > akash sachdev <akashsachdev > RE: Kundalini Yoga Breathing Patterns Before Sleep? > kundaliniyoga , wolfsister_harmony > Monday, February 9, 2009, 10:05 PM > Sat Nam Jiwan Shakti kaur jee/All, > > > I would certainly want to practise based on your advice > however while I was going through the pages : I saw that in > one of the exercises Breath Of Fire should be practiced as > part of daily bedtime meditation. > > here is the exact > page:kundalini yogakyt16.html > > I do not bring this up to contradict to what you said but > to obviously be clear in my mind and throw sum light on my > ignorance. > > Also please share simple kriya to shed any kind os > insecurity, and increase self confidence > > > > Kundaliniyoga > wolfsister_harmony > Tue, 3 Feb 2009 12:25:27 -0800 > Re: Kundalini Yoga Breathing Patterns Before > Sleep? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Sat Nam Akash~ > > the right nostril is the energizing nostril (sun) > > I also wouldn't suggest doing " Breath > > of Fire " before sleep as it is also an energizing > breath. > > ~blessing you Jiwan Shakti Kaur > > > > --- On Tue, 2/3/09, akash sachdev > <akashsachdev wrote: > > > > > akash sachdev <akashsachdev > > > Kundalini Yoga Breathing Patterns Before > Sleep? > > > kundaliniyoga > > > Tuesday, February 3, 2009, 1:28 AM > > > Sat Sri Akal and SAT NAM to all > > > > > > Still learning from this wonderful resource...... > > > > > > this time I wish to know which kind of breathing > pattern > > > should not be practised before sleeping. > > > > > > As we know a few breathing patterns ( nostril specific > i > > > guess??) are known to energize you ....hence as per > the > > > obvious logic they should not be practised.....i wish > to > > > know which are such breathing exercises and patterns. > > > > > > I will appreciate any additional and informational > message > > > along with the answer to above questions. > > > > > > Thanks to all in advance and GOD BLESS. > > > > > > Akash. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > _______________ > Wish to Marry Now?

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Hello, I was told I couldnt keep taking the sleep aid I was on. I saw the left nostril 4 count breath for relaxation. I have been doing it for the past 2 nights. I can say I feel asleep and stayed asleep until my dog started barking at 4 this morning. But I did go to sleep at 11. And when I was up dealing with my dog I went back to sleep until my alarm clock went off at 6:30. So I can say this does work.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Satnam , Much thanks again for taking efforts to help me with my concerns. well on the same page towards the bottom of the page there are the directions in Bed time meditations for Breath of Fire. here is the extract " To facilitate the concentration at the tip of the nose, do the following exercise. Bring the arms out to your sides parallel to the ground, palms up. Do breath of fire for 1-3 minutes. This exercise balances the right and left hemispheres of the brain, which makes it easier to maintain the focus of the two eyes. " So although breath of fire is adviced for concentration purpose but it will still facilitate energizing the mind i guess. I just want to check and confirm whether breath of fire like directed should be practised or is not adviced. any short kriya dviced for confidene building and getting rid of ego! thanks again.. akash=============================================================Sat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
