Let the soothing piano music wash over you during this alternate nostril breathing exercise and meditation. This exercise may help to relax your body and mind, reduce anxiety, relieve tension and stress, and balance the left and right sides of the brain. These benefits, in turn, may help you to be more focused and aware.

You can use this breathing technique to help manage stresses in your daily life. You may also find that practicing alternate nostril breathing helps you to be more mindful of the present moment. I talk about how this practice activates our third eye chakra and how that may benefit us.
