How to Balance Your Mind

"I finally discovered what’s wrong with my brain: on the Left side there is nothing right and on the Right side, there is nothing left”

Breathing through your right nostril will activate the Left hemisphere of the brain, which is energizing, calculating and logical, and breathing just through your left nostril will activate the Right hemisphere of the brain, which is calming, creative and intuitive.

Every 2.5 hours we naturally change which nostril is dominating, but you can adjust that through ptanayam (breathing exercise) and control which side of the brain you need activated depending on what you would like to accomplish.

If you are getting ready for a meeting or writing an exam a few minutes of Right nostril breathing will clear up the fog and give you alertness.

If you would like to relax or prepare for meditation Left nostril breathing is a must!
