  • If you use the wrong nostril order do you become overly aggressive and plagued with negative thoughts?

  • @dvzqz87 I am not 100% sure on this but I suspect since its based on ancient Ayurvedic principles the hand positions used may have positive effects on the body's "energy field" or chakras (if you believe in that stuff)

    its similar to how you see some people meditating with wrists on their knees, palms up and with there thumb and index touching

  • why does it have to be this hand position? why can't you just close each nostril with your index finger or your thumb or whatever?

  • @santosh601606 alternate nostril breathing instantly calms the mind, if it's agitated by negative thoughts, or too many thoughts, rushy mind so to say. Very effective yet so simple to practice it.

  • ¿¿ when we start inhale it should start with right nostril or left nostril ??

  • can you tell me what alternate nostril breathing helps?

  • nice demo!

  • first comment!
