Soothing

Increasing Lunar Energy (Left Nostril Breathing)

When you need soothing or to calm down for any reason, try this simple yogic breath. It can help you ramp down from stress or anxiety and can even help you get to sleep at night. This pranayama can also be used to lower blood pressure and address compulsive eating patterns. It generates a state of calmness, empathy, sensitivity, and synthesis and works by activating the Ida Nadi, which corresponds to lunar (Chandra or feminine) energy and balancing the parasympathetic nervous system.
