Below : The Sushumna nadi runs from base of the spine to the crown of the head. Located at the centre of the spinal cord. Passing through all the seven chakras, it connects the Muladhara to Sahasrara chakra. It is the way for Kundalini if awakened. Colour silver.

Breathing through the right nostril stimulates the left brain hemisphere and the sympathetic nervous system. This results in accelerated heart beat, higher blood pressure, greater consumption of oxygen by the body cells and constriction of the blood vessels of the skin , thus preserving body temperature . This is how yogis can be totally oblivious to extreme weather conditions.

Below: Breathing through the left nostril stimulates Ida which relates to the moon and the parasympathetic nervous system, breathing through the right stimulates Pingala, relating to the sun and sympathetic nervous system. Ida nadi is associated with the rest and restorative system of the body, whereas the pingala nadi is associated with the fight and flight response.
As each rises up the back and neck and over the head, the nadis meet in the ajna chakra, or ‘third eye,’ and then drop down into the nose, the ida nadi terminating in the left nostril ( right brain lobe ), and the pingala nadi terminating in the right nostril ( left brain lobe ).
Pranayama starts with the left nostril always. The benefits of left nostril breathing are numerous including sharper, clearer focus of the mind, and a deep, full relaxation or sleep. In the Yogic tradition, left nostril breathing has been used to break vices and habits, which usually take 21 days .

MUST READ:
The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 349.65), - Bhagavad Gita of Sri Krishna occurs, states: “Hiranyagarbha is the original knower of Yoga”
Brihadyogi Yajnavalkya Smriti XII.5 portrays Hiranyagarbha as the original teacher of Yoga.
Bhishma in the 6000 year old Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 300.57) speaks of a Yoga teaching “established in many Yoga Shastras.”
Hiranyagabha ( golden embryo ) Yoga tradition is a Vedic tradition.
Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras is only referred to as a compiler, not as an inventor of the Yoga teachings. He himself states, “Thus is the teaching of Yoga” (Yoga Sutras I.1)
Patanjali lived 5500 years ago and NOT 2200 years ago as written by the white invader.
Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, is composed of a total of 195 sutras or aphorisms ( wisdom packed words ) .
These sutras are structured around four padas or chapters:
Samadhi Pada,
Sadhana Pada,
Vibhuti Pada and
Kaivalya Pada.
The Yoga Sutras are not a philosophy but a step by step method to become aware of one own being.
Each Sutra is compact and needs a great deal explanation as it's nature and depth of psychological content.
Patanjalis Yoga is concerned with liberation through meditation.
The first chapter is "Samadhi Pada" a state of evenness where one is total and centered in one self without distractions. In this chapter the Yoga, the modifications of the mind, "Samadhi" and the concept of "Isvarah" God are explained.
The second chapter "Sadhana Pada" is the practice of a Yogi.
The chapter starts with a the base conditions to start Yoga " Tapah Svahdyaya Ishvarpranidhanani Kriyayogah" Austerity, selfstudy and surrender of the ego is Yoga of action.
Patanjalis definition of Yoga of action is Kriya Yoga.
Patanjali Yoga is even known as Raja Yoga, the Yoga of understanding and transcending the mind, consciousness is Raja or the king.
"Ashtanga Yoga" Eight limbs of yoga is the heart of Patanjalis Yoga system.
There are five major afflictions of the mind of which "Avidya" ignorance of ones own being is the root cause of all afflictions. These are explained in the second chapter "Samadhi Pada".
Ashtanga Yoga
Yama (personal discipline)
Niyama (social discipline)
Asana (discipline of body posture)
Pranayama ( rhythmic breathing exercises)
Pratyahara (inward withdrawal of the senses)
Dharana (concentration)
Dhyana (meditation)
Samadhi (total awareness and evenness"Sama" of ones true self without conflicts)
The third chapter, "Vibhuti Pada" is concerned with Yogic Powers.
The fourth chapter " Kaivalya Pada" is the last in the Yoga Sutras . The difference between the mind, consciousness and witnessing and the soul are explained.

The uniqueness of change comprises the essence of everything. ||15||
वस्तुसाम्ये चित्तभेदात्तयोर्विभक्तः पन्थाः ॥१५॥
vastusāmye citta-bhedāt-tayorvibhaktaḥ panthāḥ ||15||
That which is mutable in us (chitta) takes various paths to the same object, perception of which thus differs from one person another . ||15||
न चैकचित्ततन्त्रं चेद्वस्तु तदप्रमाणकं तदा किं स्यात् ॥१६॥
na caika-citta-tantraṁ cedvastu tad-apramāṇakaṁ tadā kiṁ syāt ||16||
Nor does an object depend on that which is mutable in human beings; for if it did, then what would happen to the object if it were not perceived? ||16||
तदुपरागापेक्षित्वात् चित्तस्य वस्तुज्ञाताज्ञातं ॥१७॥
tad-uparāga-apekṣitvāt cittasya vastu-jñātājñātaṁ ||17||
However, whether an object, situation or person is understood or misjudged depends on the emotional preconceptions and the expectations of that which is mutable in human beings. ||17||
सदाज्ञाताः चित्तव्र्त्तयः तत्प्रभोः पुरुषस्यापरिणामित्वात् ॥१८॥
sadājñātāḥ citta-vrttayaḥ tat-prabhoḥ puruṣasya-apariṇāmitvāt ||18||
The true self can always observe the misconceptions (vritti) in that which is mutable in human beings, because this pure self (purusha) is not in motion. ||18||
न तत्स्वाभासं दृश्यत्वात् ॥१९॥
na tat-svābhāsaṁ dṛśyatvāt ||19||
As that which is mutable in human beings is not inherently identifiable, it is a perceptible object. ||19||
एक समये चोभयानवधारणम् ॥२०॥
eka samaye c-obhaya-an-avadhāraṇam ||20||
Nor can both the mind and the illuminating process be cognized simultaneously. ||20||
चित्तान्तर दृश्ये बुद्धिबुद्धेः अतिप्रसङ्गः स्मृतिसंकरश्च ॥२१॥
cittāntara dṛśye buddhi-buddheḥ atiprasaṅgaḥ smṛti-saṁkaraś-ca ||21||
That which is mutable in one human being (chitta) being perceived by another mutable human being (chitta) would be as absurd as perception perceiving perception, and would result in confusion of remembrance. ||21||
चितेरप्रतिसंक्रमायाः तदाकारापत्तौ स्वबुद्धि संवेदनम् ॥२२॥
citer-aprati-saṁkramāyāḥ tad-ākāra-āpattau svabuddhi saṁ-vedanam ||22||
Unlike the characteristic of that which is immutable in human beings, the true self is unchangeable and can thus achieve full knowledge and self knowledge. ||23||
द्रष्टृदृश्योपरक्तं चित्तं सर्वार्थम् ॥२३॥
draṣṭṛ-dṛśy-opa-raktaṁ cittaṁ sarva-artham ||23||
The actual purpose of that which is mutable in human beings (chitta) is to see close up both the observer (drashtu) and the observed object. ||23||
तदसङ्ख्येय वासनाभिः चित्रमपि परार्थम् संहत्यकारित्वात् ॥२४॥
tad-asaṅkhyeya vāsanābhiḥ citram-api parārtham saṁhatya-kāritvāt ||24||
This human mutability (chitta) has countless wishes of every description (vasana). But it has another purpose – namely to establish a connection between the outside world and the true self. ||24||
विशेषदर्शिनः आत्मभावभावनानिवृत्तिः ॥२५॥
viśeṣa-darśinaḥ ātmabhāva-bhāvanā-nivṛttiḥ ||25||
For he who has experienced this unique vision (darshana), the desire (vritti) for self fulfillment vanishes. ||25||
तदा विवेकनिम्नं कैवल्यप्राग्भारं चित्तम् ॥२६॥
tadā viveka-nimnaṁ kaivalya-prāg-bhāraṁ cittam ||26||
Then the power of discernment (viveka) will be strengthened and all that is mutable in human beings (chitta) will take the path of liberation (kaivalya). ||26||
तच्छिद्रेषु प्रत्ययान्तराणि संस्कारेभ्यः ॥२७॥
tac-chidreṣu pratyaya-antarāṇi saṁskārebhyaḥ ||27||
This viewpoint is breached by preconceptions (samskara), whereupon other impressions arise. ||27||
हानमेषां क्लेशवदुक्तम् ॥२८॥
hānam-eṣāṁ kleśavad-uktam ||28||
These preconceptions are eliminated as described previously for spiritual burdens (klesha). ||28||
प्रसंख्यानेऽप्यकुसीदस्य सर्वथा विवेकख्यातेः धर्ममेघस्समाधिः ॥२९॥
prasaṁkhyāne-'py-akusīdasya sarvathā vivekakhyāteḥ dharma-meghas-samādhiḥ ||29||
Attaining genuinely deep insight even engenders constant imperturbability and discernment (viveka). This state is referred to as dharma megha samadhi. ||29||
ततः क्लेशकर्मनिवृत्तिः ॥३०॥
tataḥ kleśa-karma-nivṛttiḥ ||30||
Then the concept (vritti) of spiritual burden (klesha) and cause and effect (karma) will be completely removed. ||30||
तदा सर्वावरणमलापेतस्य ज्ञानस्यानन्त्यात् ज्ञेयमल्पम् ॥३१॥
tadā sarva-āvaraṇa-malāpetasya jñānasya-ānantyāt jñeyamalpam ||31||
Then all veils and uncertainty fall away. Knowledge that can be gained is nothing compared to the infinity of knowledge. ||31||
ततः कृतार्थानं परिणामक्रमसमाप्तिर्गुणानाम् ॥३२॥
tataḥ kṛtārthānaṁ pariṇāma-krama-samāptir-guṇānām ||32||
In this way is the purpose of change accomplished and all change (krama) in the physical realm (guna) comes to an end. ||32||
क्षणप्रतियोगी परिणामापरान्त निर्ग्राह्यः क्रमः ॥३३॥
kṣaṇa-pratiyogī pariṇāma-aparānta nirgrāhyaḥ kramaḥ ||33||
The experience of a sequencing process of moments and changes comes to an end, thus making change (krama) a real experience. ||33||
पुरुषार्थशून्यानां गुणानांप्रतिप्रसवः कैवल्यं स्वरूपप्रतिष्ठा वा चितिशक्तिरिति ॥३४॥
puruṣa-artha-śūnyānāṁ guṇānāṁ-pratiprasavaḥ kaivalyaṁ svarūpa-pratiṣṭhā vā citiśaktiriti ||34||
Liberation (kaivalya) fulfills the goal of the true self (purusha); matter (guna) is transcended. The true nature of being and the force of absolute knowledge are then revealed. ||34||
In swara yoga, prana or energy is circulated in the body through a system of nadis or pathways, of which the three most important are known as ida, pingala and sushumna. These three flow up the spine, ida and pingala coiling around sushumna at the centre.
Ida terminates at the upper opening of the left nostril, pingala at the upper opening of the right nostril, and sushumna at sahasrara chakra at the crown of the head. Ida is known as the lunar nadi because its activation produces calmness and a feeling of well being. Traditionally, the colour is blue.
Pingala is known as the solar nadi because its qualities are heat and dynamism. Its colour is red.
Sushumna is the synthesis or spiritual nadi which becomes active when ida and pingala are balanced. Its colour is gold.
There is a direct correspondence between the states associated with the activation of ida, pingala and sushumna nadis and the parasympathetic, sympathetic and central nervous systems respectively.
When we breathe in through the left nostril, ida nadi or the parasympathetic nervous system as well as the right hemisphere of the brain are stimulated. When we breathe in through the right nostril, pingala nadi or the sympathetic nervous system as well as the left hemisphere of the brain are stimulated.
When the breath is equalised through both nostrils, the brain and the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems are balanced. Then a state of equilibrium is achieved in the central nervous system and the state of meditation dawns as the sushumna awakens.

Hi np,
Modern Lateral thinking taught in Management schools is lifted from the ancient yogic method of PRATIPAKSHA BHAVANAM .
There is NO knee jerk reaction like an idiot - only willful choice of a sage . Every action is pro-active and grounded IN THE MOMENT . This is the message of Bhagawad Gita.
A yogi is trained to recognize negative thoughts, feelings and habits , and refocus energy onto positive thoughts, emotions and activities .
A yogi keeps away from self pity for it will interfere with mature positive action. He can make peace with his past by conscious contemplation so that he does NOT mar his present .
A yogi does NOT jump into conclusions . Nobody can make him jump into the bandwagon. He does NOT bow to precedent. He will NOT get pre-occupied with stuff over which he has zilch control.
He does proactive change by seeking out reasons for change rather than waiting for them to arise. He can deal with change as a matter of heart as well as the head.
Change demands energy. Hours of worry will drain your energy. The path through change is rarely smooth or predictable. The first need is to recognise the need for change and let go of old ways.
He can build inner awareness of the need and impact of change. He drops his ego. He admits to himself if he has made mistakes in the past. His new way is not to be judged as better/ worse or right/ wrong. They are simply new and need to be learned practiced and judged on their merits.
Yoga has given him a sense of autonomy and self direction. He forges the hinges of destiny on his own terms. He rarely seeks the comfort zone. He seeks new balance and direction. He can establish new attitudes and beliefs .
The Yogi uses his free choice and does NOT sweat the small stuff. He will NOT short sell himself . He knows how to let go at the right time.
Happiness is a victory lap of positive forces over negative forces in your life. A yogi can weed out negative thought. Freedom from want is his greatest liberator. The gambler who waits for one more throw of the dice is not exactly liberated.
A yogi is free from worry, compulsive thinking , negativity and pathetic clinging . He can put himself in another person’s shoes to view from another perspective-laterally. He does NOT engage in tunnel vision . His is NOT stuck in microscope mode— he can pull back his lens at will and go to telescope mode.
Of course he is NOT a dim-wit. He can use pain for feedback. He uses pain as a message from the universal forces. He can follow his emotions but he know when to control them. He knows that an easy and calm mind can only be attained when emotions are allowed a safe expression.
He can separate his pride from the situation in hand. He does NOT take things personally and get hajaar hypersensitive.. He does NOT swell on nasty remarks . He is able to ignore run down battery torches who endlessly challenges the sun.
He has the innate ability to move on after grieving. He does NOT get mired in self pity . He is NOT the crying type. He sees possibilities in every problem. He can enjoy even a uncomfortable moment and then give a moonh todh full blooded shot. The Gita teaches us to give full blooded shots.
The yogi has grace under pressure. He does NOT expect too much .He does NOT concentrate on what he does NOT have. He can count his blessings.
He does NOT break his own word to himself consistently. He is NOT addicted to emotional drama, hysteria and cynicism. . He does NOT seek happiness at the expense of anothers deep unhappiness – even if it were his enemy..
Bhavanam has been used by half wit white skinned Indophiles to mean house ( TEE HEEEE !) —it is NOT made of brick it is bhavana – a thought.
The yogi can take another lateral view, and reframe his perspective on the situation. He is flexible .
Pratipaksha Bhavanam is a method that helps us catch these destructive and distracting thoughts, and redirect our minds back toward the yogic path. This is done by actively cultivating thoughts of the opposite nature when a destructive thought arises.
The human brain has 2 lobes—left and right. The left side is used by all and sundry in short the bhartical--nay- VERTICAL THINKERS– the right lobe by yogis who are capable of LATERAL THINKING.
Lateral thinking recognises that the approach to a problem is never as important as its solution. It cares two hoots for logical thinking . The tool of insight is a creative gift called yogic lateral thinking. The good part is that lateral thinking can be learnt—you need not be born with it.
Vertical thinking using the left lobe of the brain is all about being right and logical at EVERY sequential step—it blocks all illogical pathways. Lateral thinking is more concerned with the wealth of thoughts .
A lateral thinker is never satisfied with the ADEQUATE beaten track. He does not drill his tunnel though logical steps to his goal—rather he will leap frog—opening new pathways. His last few steps is the one which will make his venture a success.
Our Chutney Marys and Pickle Johns of our main stream media and BHARTIC-- nay- vertical thinkers . They think in tunnel mode. Their minds can NEVER EVER soar like a condor.
Pratipaksha Bhavana opens doors .By creating the opposite thought and reflecting on the possible consequences of our thoughts, words, and deeds… we are instantly given more options for thinking, feeling, and behaving.
The much touted and admired EQ of this century is about being right at every step. They can never understand the concept of a back swing. The misunderstood and much maligned IQ+HQ with its tinge of madness is all about being right only at the end.
Sometimes the genius will move to an untenable position to find a tenable solution. We used Pratipaksha Bhavana when sent our rocket to Mars. The rocket went the opposite way first. The satellite went the reverse way and catapulted around another planet to achieve the escape velocity.
Ancient Maharishis recognized the wisdom that the need to be right ALL the fu#kin’ time completely shuts out creativity and progress.
Pratipaksha Bhavana does NOT allow you to stare at the rear view mirror of life. You can at the most give a darting glance. No self delusions , no distorted interpretations, no selective perceptions. No keeping one leg in the past and one in the future , to piss on the present. Slow down maaan , give it a second thought—INTROSPECT is the message.
Pratipaksha means opposite and bhavana means contemplation . By cultivating an opposite or positive thought when we are in the throes of emotional turbulence, we pave the way for self-healing.
Patanjali is simply asking us to replace anger with compassion, violent thoughts with peaceful ones, hate with love, feelings of tension and stress with a sense of relaxation and contentment.
Pratipaksha bhavana assists us with spiritual transformation and self-realization. The emotions of love, peace, contentment and compassion are the natural state of our souls. When we centre and align ourselves , we move to deeper levels of consciousness and grace.
With Yogic deep diaphragmatic breathing , we take in the good and eject out the bad.
As you practice the substitution process of Pratipaksha Bhavana, the negative will gradually dissipate and lose its force and momentum. The positive will begin to assert itself—it is just a matter of time and patience.
With sustained practice, as you go on developing the positive within yourself, the negative becomes sublimated and, to your surprise, soon vanishes.
When you attend old alumni meets , you can notice how little some people have changed. The bullies still remain bullies. They subconsciously try to bully the same people whom they bullied 40 years ago. They still have all the negative traits and characteristics that they had when they were teenagers. The same fears, attachments, ego and assumptions continue; they are only veiled.
Below: The practice of Pratipaksha Bhavana can help one to activate the IDA NADI parasympathetic nervous system (relaxation response) promoting homeostasis and healing. The parasympathetic system of nerves is concerned with nourishing, healing and regeneration of the body.
The sympathetic and parasympathetic systems are antagonistic. The sympathetic nervous system ( PINGALA NADI ) may be roughly likened to the gas pedal of a car. The parasympathetic is more like the brake. Pratipaksha Bhavana helps you to slow down. The sympathetic system, however, always takes precedence, because it is concerned with one’s survival.
To promote balance and healing, the goal is to keep the sympathetic system turned off as much as possible. This allows the maximum healing to occur. Simple ways to do this are to rest, relax and think happy thoughts. As soon as you think fearful or angry thoughts, or become too physically active, the body shifts into a sympathetic stance.
Pratipaksha Bhavana is a simple and direct way of keeping our minds calm and our hearts open - meditation achieves this. Instead of indulging in the misery of our thoughts we can change the channel and connect to something positive.
If the negative thought is a withdrawal from our innate peace of mind, then the positive response is an instant deposit. Pratipaksha bhavana adequately deals with the negative triggers as they emerge. This can deal effectively with pedophile psychopathic tendencies of homosexuality..
"When presented with disquieting thoughts or feelings, cultivate an opposite, elevated GRATEFUL attitude. This is Pratipaksha Bhavana."
Getting back-
Yoga nourishes the intervertebral discs and the menisci discs of the knee
- READ THIS LINE A TRILLION TIMES.
-for if you have a knee and a back problem,you are FU#KED!.
You are up sh#t creek for good without a paddle !!
Only Yoga can move the SYNOVIAL FLUIDS around and nourish it. Synovial fluid is the slippery liquid in joint systems that along with hyaline cartilage, allows smooth, painless movement of the bones. Synovial fluid is found in joints like the knees, hips, and elbows where more free movement of the bones is allowed.
The few joints that do not have synovial fluid are the discs between your vertebrae in your back and both sacroiliac joints in the back of your pelvis. Consequently, movement of these joints is more limited than the others. Synovial fluid is also essential for delivering nutrients and oxygen to the hyaline cartilage which don’t have any sort of blood supply.
The various poses in yoga allow this fluid to flow to different part of your body and with regular practice can increase the smooth flow of synovial fluid to your joints and make you move around more smoothly.
The isometric poses of yoga train the smaller muscles surrounding our joints to endure more pressure and make us work them harder in order to stabilize ourselves
Our joints are built to support us as we carry extra loads now and then but excess fat to the point of obesity has been proven to cause earlier and more serious joint problems in individuals throughout their lives. Yoga along with a healthy diet can help you shed excess weight that is putting more pressure on your joints and inhibiting your movements.
No other form of exercise can isolate and concentrate on the muscles surrounding joints like yoga can while promoting healthy flow of blood and synovial fluid throughout the body. Even if joint problems are already getting the better of you there are still many poses that can be done on the floor that allow you to increase fluidity and loosen up the joints.
Yoga improves balance for stroke survivors. When you have old parents you must know , all these highly polished modern tiles you put in your home are very slippery. You want to impress others , you want others to gape at your home. You don’t release that your home is for you to live in safely.
One fall and the aged hip bone breaks , due to useless modern foods. Studies have proved that yoga practice of as little as twice a week had improved balance as well as less fear of falling.
One fall and the aged hip bone breaks , due to useless modern foods. Studies have proved that yoga practice of as little as twice a week had improved balance as well as less fear of falling.
Yoga has NO barriers. It does NOT matter how old or young you are. It does NOT matter of you are a supreme endurance athlete or a fat couch potato. The body uses its own weight. The idea is to explore your limits, not strive for some pretzel-like perfection.
"No pain, no gain" is NOT the yoga way. If it hurts, stop !. Every ancient yoga teacher was a Ayurvedic physician too.
Our ancient texts talk about Swara Yoga. There is a nasal cycle which is influenced by our central nervous system . There are times when we can breathe more easily through the left nostril and another analogous period for the right nostril.
This is connected with changes in cerebral hemispheric dominance which was proved with EEG recordings showing that higher activity of the right brain hemisphere results in easier breathing through the left nostril and the higher activity of the left brain hemisphere results in easier breathing through the right nostril and that this cycle changes every 60 to 180 minutes. This has been proved in many countries independently.
When we breathe more easily through the left nostril, the functioning of the right brain hemisphere is more pronounced and dominant than the left. Easier breathing through the right nostril, on the other hand, means that the left brain hemisphere is currently dominating.
When we can breathe equally through both nostrils there is some kind of balance between left and right brain hemisphere functions and throughout the nervous system. This occurs mainly in the time of dawn, midday and sunset when the vital energies of nature are at their strongest.
We all have a right brain lobe and a left brain lobe. For a right hander the left lobe is the Conscious lobe and the right brain lobe the Subconscious brain lobe.
Conscious = induction+ deduction ( determines what is to be done ).
LEFT BRAIN LOBE ( for right handers ) : Numbers, written language, reasoning, spoken language, scientific skills , RH control
Subconscious = only deduction ( no thinking , draws conclusions, does not care for right or wrong, gives the power to do the job )
RIGHT BRAIN LOBE ( for right handers ): Insight, 3D forms , art, imagination, music, left hand control.
The conscious mind can be engaged 100% in giving bull or deep thinking or day dreaming while the subconscious keeps the car safely on the road
Below: Ida- right brain lobe - sub-conscious. -left nostril/ body -parasympathetic nervous system-creative flow - feminine -moon - blue
.jpg)
When you need to calm down, when your mind is chattering or when you can’t go to sleep, try left nostril (Ida) breathing. Take your right hand and, with your fingers outstretched, block off your right nostril by putting gentle pressure on it with your right thumb. Keep the rest of your fingers straight and pointing up towards the sky; the fingers act like antennas for the “cosmic” energy that surrounds us all.
Below : The Sushumna nadi runs from base of the spine to the crown of the head. Located at the centre of the spinal cord. Passing through all the seven chakras, it connects the Muladhara to Sahasrara chakra. It is the way for Kundalini if awakened. Colour silver.
Below: Pingala , left brain lobe - conscious - right nostril/ body- sympathetic (fight or flight nervous) system- masculine -sun- red.
The sympathetic nervous system, dominates one side of the body and at the same time the parasympathetic nervous system dominates the opposite side. SNS and PNS, is clearly connected to the daily rhythms of the neuroendocrine, cardiovascular and insulin systems, as well as to the secretion of stress hormones, cateholamines, which also show an alternate dominance in the left and right side of the body, and that this left-right pattern is also tightly coupled with the natural rhythm of the nasal cycle
The secrets of channeling breathing to influence the brain were documented 7000 years ago. By practising the alternating breathing through the left and right nostrils we can naturally balance the functioning of both brain hemispheres .
The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), lead to rest, conservation and restoration of energy and thus to a reduction in heart rate (HR) and blood pressure, a facilitation of digestive processes and the elimination of waste products. It is an opportunity to rest, repair and consolidate.
As a whole, the autonomic nervous system is understood as a `housekeeping' system which ensures our smooth functioning and adaptative responses to different situations in the outer and inner environment, and it is controlled primarily by the hypothalamus.
The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) prepares us for an increased level of activity and the fight or flight response, which includes an increase in heart rate, blood pressure, cardiac output, a diversion of blood flow from the skin and splanchnic vessels of the internal organs to those supplying the skeletal muscles, increased pupil size, bronchiolar dilation, contraction of sphincters in the digestive system, and metabolic changes utilizing fat and glycogen.
The sum total of these changes is to enable us to be maximally physically fit, to see and perceive most clearly and be ready for an explosive muscular action with a reduced tendency to bleeding in case of injury, with one purpose in mind - to fight or to flee, and save our skin.
Of late the nasal cycle is of considerable interest to ENT specialists and neurobiologists and it has been found to strongly correlate with a number of modifications of bodily functions, such as the relative EEG predominance of the contra lateral brain hemisphere, rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM sleep patterns , verbal and spatial cognitive processing and the release of endocrine agents such as noradrenalin, a potent stimulator of the sympathetic nervous system.
The ancient yogis knew which part of our nervous system is more dominant in a given moment and they instructed their students to how to benefit though conscious breathing effort. NEVER EVER by hyperventilation , but by deep diaphragmatic breathing. If at all bhastrika pranayama was used it was just to willfully break a cycle. The ancient yogis could influence the functions of different brain centres.
They knew how to increase PERCEPTION just by a breathing cycle. They could slow down their hearts by a breathing cycle I will give you a brief hint on how to do all this.
Yogis know how to selectively stimulate brain hemispheres through alternate nostril breathing. Breathing through the left nostril stimulates the right brain hemisphere and the parasympathetic nervous system.
This is connected with a slowing-down of the heart beat and consequently greater stroke volume of the heart . A greater volume of blood is pumped out of the heart per beat, as a consequence of lower heart rate.
Catecholamines are hormones, which regulate many body functions and are secreted upon stimulation of the sympathetic nervous impulses. Catecholamines trigger the release of glucose and fats (as energy sources) that are stored within the body.
They also cause constriction of the blood vessels and increased blood pressure, heart rate and strength of heart contractions. Additionally, they dilate the bronchi, increase the basal metabolism of the body and mental activity and promote the body's capability to coagulate blood.
One of my young officers had a deviated nasal septum, which caused him to breathe only though the right nostril, stimulating the sympathetic nervous system >He had high blood pressure . To treat his condition I told him to address the root cause and NOT to take hypertension tablets.
After a minor operation of the nasal septum , he could breath equally through the both nostrils and his blood pressure problem became a thing of the past.
Have you ever wondered why you have two nostrils instead of one big fu#kin’ one?
And what has Shiva and Parvati got to do with it ?
According to Indophiles Shiva is a corpse eater lurking in a the dark shadows of the grave yard for a meal , right?
The pineal gland and the pituitary glands must vibrate in resonance to create a field. This is represented by Samudra manthan in Hindu mythology, where mount Meru is used to churn the oceans for Amrit or Ambrosia in a to and fro movement , representing vibrations..
Serotonin has the same chemical structure as this hallucinogenic substance Soma. The pineal gland produces Pinoline, ( 6-methoxy-tetra-dydro-beta carboline, or 6-MeO-THBC ) . Pinoline also resonates with the very pulse of life 7.83 Hertz, the pulse the DNA uses to replicate, and which has been measured to be emitted from the brains and hands of all successful healers, regardless of belief or faith.
OM king mantra is 7.833 hertz. Resonance can vibrate the pineal gland, to release Neurotransmitter seratonin, melatonin, DMT, etc. Pineal DMT is the chemical messenger which links body and spirit. The hormone Melatonin, induces sleep, while Serotonin, keeps you happy and in a balanced mental state of mind.
At the time of death Seratonin and Melatonin in the brain breaks down to Dimethyltryptamine or DMT, C12 N2 H16, just after the oxygen stops circulating. This is the moment for the ultimate DMT trip. You see your whole past life as FRACTAL divine geometry.
To the spiritual eastern mind, the story of SAMUDRA MANTHAN produces amazing acts of faith like the Kumbh Mela , which has been going on for 6000 years. Tamas and Rajas are conscious of each other.

hi vk,
TILL TODAY, NOT A SINGLE INDIAN HAS BEEN ABLE TO EXPLAIN THE YUGAS- NOT EVEN SWAMI VIVEKANANDA .
ADI SHANKARACHARYA WAS THE LAST TO KNOW ABOUT GOLDEN SPIRAL YUGA 4000 YEARS AGO .
TODAY ALL THESE FAKE GURUS HAVE LIFTED FROM THIS BLOG SITE AND PUT THEIR OWN VENEER AND ARE PREACHING AWAY TO GLORY .
OUR ANCIENT MAHARISHIS WERE CEREBRAL SUPERMEN.
7000 YEARS AGO, THE WROTE DOWN THE CONCEPT OF PRECESSION OF THE EARTH ( VISHNU NABHI ).
The Lotus from Vishnu's navel , moving in a circle on its supple stalk represents PRECESSION cycle of planet earth - of 25765 years.
Brahma sits on top the lotus -- every 25765 years it completes one cycle -last on Dec 21st 2012 .
The entire modern astronomy science is lifted from ancient Hinduism.
Our 4 Hindu yugas are a spiral-- at the rate 4:3:2:1 . In the Kali yuga the cosmic cow stands of one leg. A cycle of four yugas takes a linear 25765 years ( instead of golden spiral 4,230,000 ).
The first point of Pisces was the place where the equinoxial cuts the ecliptic till 21st Dec 2012. From 2012 AD it is aquarius ( indian kumbam )-- a new age, new sunrise at spring equinox -- precession of the equinoxes and markes the end of Kali yugam.
Dharma walks on four feet in Krutha/ Satya Yuga, on 3 feet in Treta Yuga, on two feet in Dwapara Yuga and one foot in Kali yuga- this is an allegory.
The yugas during the approach to Vishnunabhi are 'ascending' yugas; those during the retreat from Vishnunabhi 'descending' yugas.
COSMIC MECHANISM IS IN REALITY A GOLDEN SPIRAL, AND NEVER A STAGNANT CIRCLE.
Without understanding linear and spiral time ( yugas–aeon ) the Greeks who have lifted this concept use kronos ( chronos ) versus kairos.
Kronos time is linear , what we understand today.. It is quantifiable and measured. The precession cycle of 25765 years.
Kairos time is spiral ( stolen from Indian texts by Greek Aristotle ) based on the Golden spiral in a shankh or conch . .
THE GOLDEN SPIRAL TIME , TAKES INTO ACCOUNT DILATION OF SPACE TIME-WHICH ALBERT EINSTEIN LIFTED AND GOT FOR HIMSELF THE NOBEL PRIZE..
We blow conches in Hindu temples.
Our 4 Hindu yugas ( krita 1728000 years / treta 1296000 / dwapara 864000 / kali 432000 ) are a spiral-- at the rate 4:3:2:1 . In the Kali yuga the cosmic cow stands of one leg.
The ancient Indian Sri Yantra is based on the Golden mean of 1.618. The innards of the conch which creates the sound is shaped by brahmAn, the morphogenetic consciousness field.
In Advaita philosophy , the original theory of Sanatana Dharma brahmAn is the supreme god.
The ancient Vedas written in 5000 BC tell us that the basis of all creation is the all pervading intelligent morphogenetic consciousness field.
The Vedas said that all energy is a spiral and that empty space is not empty at all. It is a plenum, containing zero point field energy.. Scalar waves and sound waves are LONGITUDINAL. Rest are all transverse.
Spirals which follow the Golden mean and Fibonacci series can create scalar waves. A conch can create scalar waves.
The sound of the sea when you listen to the conch held to your ear is the sound of the Zero Point Field or Scalar Field or Brahman or OM. OM is 7.83 hertz and can be heard only by the heart, as the audible frequency starts with 20 Hz.
Ancient Maharishis with 12 strand DNA could hear OM . Hindu king mantra OM is copied Christianity ( AMEN ), Judaism ( SHALOM ), Islam ( 786 –write in Arabic left to right and show in mirror to see OM symbol )

Captain Ajitji sadar pranam:
Reporting another perception molder for the followers of your blog: Yogesh Master, a pervert Kannada writer.
In his book "Dhundi" he has reportedly presented Ganapati as a wild person "Dhundi" who later becomes the god Ganapati. He claims that Ganapati was "a god of backward castes"/ dravidas.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkfSLVumTuY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OzUUXmLsuI
Look at a few of his "variginal" "yuckspert" gleeful comments in the interview:
1. When Parvati encounters Shiva as a lay woman, the erotic actions of Shiva are absurd or horrifying for her.
2. When Ganga and Gauri quarrel, they scold each other calling whore and very vulgar words.
3. Vi-nayaka means "no leader". Vinayaka means "evil incarnate". (He claims to have PROOF to prove this)
4. Seeing vinayaka in dreams is a bad omen.
5. Manusmriti says that Ganapati is the deiti of the shudras.
6. If anyone is POSSESSED by vinayaka: a prince can't become a king and a young woman won't get a good husband.
7. Ganapati is mentioned only in the puranas and not in the vedas.
8. In vedic period only agni, varuna, indra such people were there. Only in the puranas you find the vishnu, shiva and other gods.
9. Vedic people hijacked nonaryan deities like vishnu, shiva, krishna, hanumana of the dravidian race.
10. Ganapati is "sonn" of Parvati but not son of Shiva and Murugan is son of Shiva but not son of Parvati. So that completes the family.
If all this is true then the Bhimvadi people should stop worshiping Bhim or Buddha statue and start worshiping Ganapati, their real god.

hi tr,
hi tr,
people have denigrated lord shiva. these people have the support of our BENAMI media and the white man.
shiva was converted to a sex starved tribal, a corpse eating aghori.
zakir naik's denigration of hinduism ( ganesha etc ) is still on you tube.
ALL the indophiles ( except a few have denigrated hinduism ).
ever since this blogsite ridiculed wikipedia of writing that FAKE "kabirDAS of immaculate conception , floated on a lotus leaf ( like krishna ) down ganges river to be found by a Muslim weaver" - they have quietly deleted it. for even an idiot knows this is absolute bull.
all R opium founded universities in USA/ UK are anti-hindu.
WHY DID I WRITE A POST ABOUT SATYAMEVA JAYATE OF AAMIR KHAN ?
WHY DID CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL GET ARRESTED FOR HATE SPEECH ( TELLING THE TRUTH )?
SMJ gave space to a dalit Sanskrit scholar of Delhi University Kaushal Panwar -- who keeps reminding everybody who cares to listen that -- HUNREAAADES of people call me daily.
So who invites her , to throw sh#t on the Vedas?
Hold your breath -- Harvard University .
Her speech is on Youtube .
She is seen slamming Indian culture, Hinduism and the Vedas, in Hindi to a white English audience -- all the while moaning how she is being discriminated.
This woman cant speak English to save her own life..
Now, why would a diamond polisher abuse the diamond ?
Use your commonsense here. Why would a dalit Sanskrit Scholar abuse the best work in Sanskrit, the 7000 year old Vedas.
ZAKIR NAIK DESTROYS PATRIOTIC MINDSETS AMONG MUSLIMS - AS HIS FUNDS ARE FROM ABROAD .
i have seen his sevral times running down India's ancient math/ scince/ astronomy/ medicine / vedas/ upanishads --
he does NOT know that islam is just 1300 years old, while our vedas were penned down 7000 years ago after 23000 years on oral route .
zakir naik will rattle out like string crackers -
saudi AL HULL BULL invented math
egyptian AL HURR BURR invented astronomy
iraqi AL KURR KURR invented science
malian AL FURR BURR invented medicine
and then you will all Indian muslims cheering like mad .
http://ajitvadakayil.blogspot.in/2013/01/mansa-musa-king-of-mali-and-sri.html
and when he LIES vedas told that earth is flat--all these Indian muslims go GA GA .
what is all this?
are they patriots?
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A BENAMI TV ANCHOR OR A DEBATER ON PRIME TIME PRAISING ANCIENT INDIA ?
WELL IF THEY DO THAT THEIR CONTRACT WILLNOT BE RENEWED.
16000 virgin gopikas whom lord krishna screwed ( poison injected by white invader ) never existed-- for it is an allegory.
SAHASRARA CHAKRA is a 1000 petalled lotus -- each with 16 kalas or aspects --this works out to 16000 .
this is NOT some girl who has sex with Lord Krishna --taking turns.
Narakasura kidnapped 16000 damsels --and Lord Krishna saved these damsels in distress.
this is just an allegory.
shiva/ parvati/ ganesha are all allegories -personalised in a brilliant manner .
72,000 nadis originate in a place just above muladhara chakra known as “medhra.” Mula bandha stimulates all 72,000 nadis at their source, an effect which makes it very powerful.
Mula Bandha draws energy towards the lower end of the spine, into the Muladhara Chakra.
There are three bandhas employed in yoga: the root valve located at the perineum (called mula bandha, also spelled as moola bandha), the stomach valve located around the belly (called uddiyana bandha) and the chin valve located at the throat (called jalandhara bandha).
Mula bandha is performed by contracting and lifting inward and upward the muscles of the perineum—a muscle between the asshole and the balls- to sublimate sexual energy and raise it to higher chakras.
As you “lock” the muscles of the perineum, you “unlock” prana and redirecting the flow upwards and reversing the natural tendency of apana to flow downwards.
This muscle is NOT the muscle contracted when you are trying to hold a shit, NOR the muscle with which you are trying to hold a pee.--but the muscle equidistant between the two, which contract during sexual orgasm .
This muscle help men control premature ejaculation and women to have natural childbirth.
This bandha indeed is the root (moola ) of creation and is mentioned in the 7000 year old Upanishads.
The sleeping kundalini is aroused by the extreme heat and just as a serpent beaten with a stick straightens and hisses.
The pubococcygeus muscle is a hammock-like muscle, that stretches from the pubic bone to the coccyx (tail bone) forming the floor of the pelvic cavity and supporting the pelvic organs.
Activate this Mula Bandha at the end of an inhalation, as the exhalation starts. Draw the pelvic floor in and up.
Brahma granthi, ( the knot of Brahma ) located near muladhara chakra, is pierced and then untied by a moola bandha.
Kundlaini cannot travel upwards unless the Brahma Granthi is untied.
By the way Brahma Granthi ( a muladhara chakra ) is related to the physical body, Vishnu Granthi ( at anahata chakra ) is related to the astral body and Rudra Granthi ( at Ajna chakra ) is related to the causal body.
When Kundalini ascends Vishuddha Chakra and reaches Ajna Chakra, and beyond the five elements of earth, water, fire, air, and akasha- he Ida and Pingala nadis cross over each other and disintegrate in the left and right nostrils, respectively.
As lunar and solar channels, Ida and Pingala are time bound. After this plexis in Ajna Chakra, the time bound consciousness dissolves, and one establishes himself in Infinity.
GANESHA UNTIES THE BRAHMA GRANTHI AT THE MOOLADHARA CHAKRA FOR HIS MOTHER SHAKTI ( PARVATI ) TO RISE UP AS KUNDALINI AND MERGE WITH HIS FATHER SHIVA AT SAHASRARA CHAKRA .
The Muladhara chakra ( root ) hangs outside your body between your thighs , just beneath your scrotum.
The Sahasrara chakra ( crown ) is located on top of your head.
the allegories of Hinduism are for the intelligent NOT for dimwits.
On the micro scale, lord ganesha resides in muladhara chakra. he is in charge of the brahma granthi knot.
only when ganesh loosens the knot can his mother shakti / parvati ( kundalini ) rush up to embrace her husband shiva who resides at topmost sahasrara chakra .
son ganesha removes the obstacle which prevents his father shiva and mother parvati meeting, and only he has this master key --
----and this is why ganesha is known so--so that kundalini can take the safe path of sushumna for exploding consciousness --not ida or pingala..
so all these myths are for idiots -- of ganesha standing guard ( an obstacle ) while his mother parvati is taking bath , and shiva wanting to enter the bath room etc .
mooladhara chakra is associated with jnana indriya -- sense of smell -- a large nose -- trunk of elephant.
in hindu astrology mars is the malefic planet. mooladhara is red resonance.
ganesha removes the obstacles. When I moved into my new home I did ganesha homam—
In Hindusim Mars is mangalam --auspicious --as ganesha is there to take care of this planet.
we do ganesha homam-- to remove blockages - addictions, compulsions, fear, indiscipline.
the root chakra is the survival seat - will to live, faith in life.
On the macro scale , Ganesha has the swastika symbol on his palm. It represents the cosmic spinning vortex.
Everything is energy.
All energy is a vortex .
let choots say whatever they want over brandy and cigars --or halal meat or pork chops or kosher vinegar !.
BENAMI MEDIA DARLINGS LIKE AMISH TRIPATI , DEVDUTT PATTANAIK ETC HAVE MADE MONEY ON FAKE HINDUSIM. YOGESH MASTER IS JUST ONE AMONG THOUSANDS .

Getting back-
Alternate nostril breathing (as in nadi sodhan pranayama) balances the functioning of the left and right brain hemispheres , improves spatial orientation and spatial memory (left nostril), improves verbal expression (right nostril) and cognition .
People who do NOT get a single answer in any office meeting ( and hence are treated like sh#t ) and children who are NOT SO BRIGHT in school can gain from this.
When we lower the frequency of the heartbeat we allow our heart to rest a little bit longer than usual between two consecutive contractions. This additional resting allows the heart to be filled with larger quantities of blood and to contract with greater strength, thereby strengthening the heart muscle and maintaining it in better condition.
Tantric text Shiva Swarodaya is also called Swara yoga which implies the "science of one's own breath" . The script starts with the conversation between Parvati and Shiva, where Shiva starts introducing the scripts and explaining about the need for maintaining secrecy and also stating astrological value of the text.
Its fundamental application is to realize the breath as being the medium of cosmic life force, through practising “Swara Yoga” .
Shakti ( Parvati ) asks Lord Shiva:
Q. 1. Which knowledge bestows perfection?
Q. 2. How was the universe created?
Q.3. How does the universe change and dissolve?
Q.4. Who determines the universe?
Lord Shiva responds: Creation takes place due to tattwas (subtle essences), is sustained by them and finally dissolves into them. Tattwas are the origin of the universe. There is one birthless, formless supreme existence from which evolves akasha (ether), from which comes vayu (air). From vayu originates tejas (fire), from tejas apas (water) and from apas prithvi (earth). These five elements are spread throughout the world. Creation is formed and sustained from them and again merges back into them as the subtle process of creation continues ceaselessly.
What is swara? The science of Swara is the secret of all secrets and reveals the essence of all benefits. This science is the crown jewel of all knowledge. It is the subtlest of all subtle knowledge. It is easy to understand and based on truth. To the atheist it is a wonder, to the theist, the base (verse 11, Shiv Swara Udaya)
Who may have the knowledge? It should be given to one who is peaceful, pure, well behaved, dedicated to the guru, determined in mind, grateful (verse 13) The glory of Swara The power of swara overcomes enemies and joins friends, obtains wealth and glory (verse 22)
O Lady of beautiful face, all sacred books, moral stories, learning and Upinashads are not beyond the knowledge of swara (verse 25)
If you have knowledge of Swara, it is not necessary to consult the date, stars, days, planets, gods, conjunctions of stars or disorders of humours, phlegm, bile, wind, before starting any project (verse 29)
The teaching should not be revealed simply to answer someone's questions, but by one's own self, by one's own intellect in one's own body (verse 28)
AMONG SHASTRA
Among subjects that the texts on Swara discuss are the placement, location and function of the nadis, Yoga sadhana, description of auspicious/ inauspicious nadis according to the day, rules of the five tattwas, Zodiac signs according to the day and night, the appropriate direction of travel, reverse situations, fulfilment of desires-
Shiva explains auspicious acts during the flow of ida nadi, successful acts during the flow of Pingala nadi, characteristics of sushumna nadi, eight-fold division of elements or breath, predictions and divination, places of the five elements in the body, how to get gain and prosperity, prediction and indicators of death, attainment of psychic powers through the knowledge of swara..
This book is divided into 24 chapters in which Parvati, wife of Shiva asks about all aspects of life. She starts with a prayer and obescience to the Lord (Iswara) and then asks about all manner of things to which Lord Shiva answers that everything depends on swara; that "If breath is going out and coming in, there is life and if the movement stops, the body perishes." She continues asking about the nature of the universe, the origin of the embryo, the origin of swara, and all sorts of details about swara, knowledge of the tattwas, on food, sickness, war, dreams and death and many other topics.
Shiva answers Parvati's questions patiently and fully and goes on the tell her all about swara saying that "for all beings, breath is only the base." These include techniques for managing the planetary effects and the moon's phases and avoiding the negative influence of the planets and astral forces, through altering the breath flow or swara in the nostrils, manipulating and controlling the breath or the breath flow through each nostril. We can alter our destiny by being more auspicious, and realising, and eventually attaining the harmony and the Highest Consciousness.
There are three modes of breathing- flow from left nostril, flow from right nostril and flow from both the nostrils. The last mode is generally for a short duration when breathing switches from left to right and vice versa. Mode of breathing can be checked by examining air flow while exhaling.
All our actions can be classified into three main categories; physical, mental and spiritual; which are respectively presided by the above three modes of breathing.
Breathing through the left nostril ( ida nadi ) stimulates the right hemisphere of brain, and breathing through the right nostril ( pingala nadi ) stimulates the left hemisphere.
Breathing through the left nostril is connected with higher intraocular pressure and breathing through the right nostril lowers that pressure Intraocular pressure is created by the continual renewal of fluids within the eye. The intraocular pressure is increased in glaucoma.
Below: Breathing through the left nostril stimulates Ida which relates to the moon and the parasympathetic nervous system, breathing through the right stimulates Pingala, relating to the sun and sympathetic nervous system. Ida nadi is associated with the rest and restorative system of the body, whereas the pingala nadi is associated with the fight and flight response.
As each rises up the back and neck and over the head, the nadis meet in the ajna chakra, or ‘third eye,’ and then drop down into the nose, the ida nadi terminating in the left nostril ( right brain lobe ), and the pingala nadi terminating in the right nostril ( left brain lobe ).
Using electroencephalograph monitoring, modern science has recognised the benefits of balancing and harmonising the two brain hemispheres. Dominance of the two hemispheres change about every ninety minutes this in turn relates to a dominant nostril side for breath to flow.
If the left brain is dominant the right nostril is dominant and vice versa, the dominance of the brain has an influence on which is the dominant nostril. What’s also been discovered is this works the other way, changing the dominant nostril will affect the dominance of the brain hemisphere so equalising the breath will also balance the brain, creating the harmonious effect we achieve in Nadi Shodana.
The flow of prana within the sushumna nadi represents the awakening of kundalini, but in almost all people prana only flows within the ida and pingala nadis, representing the duality of human consciousness.
Ayurveda has recorded that human health is dependent upon the natural, balanced flow of prana within the pingala and ida nadis. This balance ensures the proper function of the autonomic nervous system, and the resultant effects in the body.
Pranayama starts with the left nostril always. The benefits of left nostril breathing are numerous including sharper, clearer focus of the mind, and a deep, full relaxation or sleep. In the Yogic tradition, left nostril breathing has been used to break vices and habits, which usually take 21 days .
Protein scientists will NOT understand the 72000 nadis. Nadi literally means 'flow or current'. In the Nadis are NOT nerves but energy rivulets composed of astral matter through which consciousness flows. Like the chakras ( energy transducers ) they are not located in the physical body, though nerves of the physical body can be considered as their corresponding physical manifestations.
Prana ( life force energy ) flows through the Nadis . When the Nadis have become purified the aura of the yogi increases as can be detected by a Kirlean camera. The other signs are lightness of the body, brilliancy in complexion, increase of the gastric fire, leanness of the body, and along with these, the absence of restlessness and ego.
QUALITY / IDA / PINGALA
Guna / Tamasic / Rajasic
Breath / Left nostril / Right nostril
Temperature / Cold / Hot
Sex / Female / Male
Quality / Mental / Physical
Colour / Blue / Red
Energy / Negative / Positive
Nerves / Parasympathetic / Sympathetic
Planet / Moon/ Sun
If you watch your breath you will find that it is usually flowing more in one nostril than the other. Again, if the left nostril has a greater flow of air, then ida nadi is predominant. When the flow is greater in the right nostril, then pingala is predominant. If the flow is equal, then sushumna is ruling.
When the right nostril is flowing, then vital energy is more active, allowing the individual to do physical work, digest food and so on. The mind is extroverted and the body generates more heat.
When the left nostril (ida) is flowing, mental energy is dominant, the mind is introverted, any kind of mental work; thinking concentration, etc., may be undertaken. Ida nadi also flows mainly during sleep.
The primary aim of hatha yoga is to bring about a balance of flow between the prana in ida and pingala, (ha = sun, tha = moon).
To do this the body is purified by the six techniques known as the shatkarmas. As per swara yoga, in a day the flow of air through the left nostril should predominate for about twelve hours and through the right nostril for the other twelve hours.
If pingala flows, the body will be restless; if ida flows, the mind will tend to think too much. In human physiology, the two nadis correspond roughly to the two halves of the autonomic nervous system - the sympathetic and parasympathetic.
Pingala coincides with the sympathetic nerves, responsible for the stimulation and acceleration of activities concerned with the external environment and the deceleration of the organs which tend to utilize a lot of energy internally. The sympathetic nerves speed up the heart, dilate the blood vessels, increase the respiration rate, and intensify the efficiency of the eyes, ears, etc.
The parasympathetic nerves directly oppose the sympathetic nerves, for they reduce the heartbeat, constrict the blood vessels, and slow the respiration so that the individual becomes introverted. The flow of prana in ida and pingala is completely involuntary and unconscious until yogic practices control it.
A Swara yogi realizes cosmic consciousness through control and manipulation of breath
The ancient 7000 year old Sanskrit texts mention 72,000 subtle channels through which prana flows, the dominant flow of prana occurs within the ida and pingala nadis, two channels that course upwards on either side of the spine from their origin within the kanda or ‘bulb’ in the sacral plexus.
The ida and pingala nadis relate to the activities of the parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system, respectively.
Surya Bhedana when breathing in through the right nostril and Chandra bhedana when breathing in through the left nostril. Breathing in takes air down to the lungs which will produce suction in the eustachian tube.
Most adults will suffer Eustachian Tube Dysfunction to some extent during their lives. Blocked ears can be painful and can temporarily impair hearing. The most common causes include colds, air travel, sinus infections and impacted earwax. There are exercises you can try to unblock your ears.
The ear comprises three main structures: the inner ear, the outer ear and the middle ear. The middle ear contains three tiny bones, known as the stirrup, the anvil and the hammer. These conduct sound from inside the eardrum to the cochlea – a fluid-filled cavity within the inner ear.
There is also a small tube connecting the middle ear to the back of the throat. This is the Eustachian tube, which is normally closed but opens briefly when you yawn or swallow. A blocked ear usually occurs when the air pressure in the middle ear becomes negative due to a malfunctioning Eustachian tube.
Negative pressure within the middle ear causes the ear to feel blocked and may make sounds seem muffled. This problem is most commonly caused by allergies, a head cold, sinus problems or injuries due to atmospheric pressure.
To clear eustachian tube of bad ear:-
Close nostril with finger on side of good ear
Breathe in through nostril on side of bad ear
Close nostril with finger on side of bad ear
Breathe out through nostril on side of good ear
Repeat, always breathing in on bad ear side and out through good ear side.
Use MMMMM humming sound for Nitric Oxide effect.
To maintain this balanced flow within the nadis, Ayurveda applies a number of techniques including nasya, jala neti and nadi shodhana Nasya, which involves the application of a few drops of a herbal oil Anu taila into each nostril, which is then inhaled into the nasal passage.
Oil has a unique property to penetrate through obstructions in the body, and in the form of nasya the oil helps to break up and loosen excess kapha or ‘phlegm’, which can then be easily expectorated.
When you meditate the inner ear spirit level must balance . You cannot tilt your hed while meditating. The inner ear gives the cycloid spiral space curve motion.
Let me burst a bombshell – reveal a deep ancient secret . Vedic seers used the inner ear method for bending space time. Melatonin resonates into DMT- the spirit molecule that bends space time.
The inner ear acts as a spirit level for the human body to achieve balance, Tight rope walkers walk across great heights including the Niagra falls with eyes blindfolded. The inner ear cochlea is filled with liquid. Microscopic hairs called cilia project out into this liquid and they release a chemical neurotransmitter when stimulated.
The cochlea looks like a small snail. When the head moves, so does the fluids, inside the cochlea like a spirit level. A sound wave is a longitudinal wave--a series of compressions and rarefactions.. Higher the frequency, higher the perceived pitch.
SCALAR WAVES ARE LONGITUDINAL WAVES.
SANATANA DHARMA HAS LONGITUDINAL SCALAR WAVES AT ITS CORE .
SANATANA DHARMA HAS LONGITUDINAL SCALAR WAVES AT ITS CORE .
In the Kerala system of martial arts Kalari ( basically deadly sword fighting ), as 5 year old kids we were taught by the gurikkal how to upset the spirit level of the cochlea to immobilise a stronger and heavier opponent.
ONCE YOU UPSET THE SPIRIT LEVEL OF THE BEST FIGHTER ON THE PLANET YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT TO HIM AT WELL , HAVE A CUP OF TEA BETWEEN SESSIONS OF "TOYING AROUND" WITH HIM .
