In this episode we explore another breath pattern so you have enough resource available to call on when necessary.  Practice and make it become your go to rather than holding your breath.  

We talk about what it is like to ask either one of your children or their friends for rent.  Decide your reasons you are asking and how to communicate it.  Know your reasons and the why and decide if you like them. If you do then continue down that road.  If no then pivot and check in again. 

Alternate Nostril Breathing:

How to do it: in this pranayam, the breath is always relaxed, deep and full.

· Have a the left hand in Gyan Mudra

· Use the thumb of the right hand to close the right nostril and the index or ring finger, to close the left nostril (often called the U breathing).

· Close the right nostril and gently and fully inhale through the left nostril

· Then close the left nostril and fully exhale through the right nostril

· Then inhale through the right nostril, close it, exhale though the left

· Continue repeating alternating the nostrils

Benefits:

· Creates a whole brain functioning by balancing the right and left hemispheres

· Is both integrating and grounding

· Purifies the ida and the pingala nadis gently

· Creates a deep sense of well-being and harmony on the physical, mental and emotional levels.

· Can help with headaches, migraines and other stress related symptoms

Inhale left, exhale right makes you calm and integrates unwanted negative emotions and stress, excellent by itself before bed.

· Ida - the nadi which ends at the left nostril

· Apana - the cleansing energy

· The Moon energy - cooling, receptive

· Calmness - Empathy

· Sensitivity - Synthesis

Breathing through the RIGHT nostril is associated with:

· Pingala, the nadi ending in the right nostril

· Prana - the nurturing energy

· The Sun energy - warming, projective

· Vigor - Concentration

· Alertness - Readiness for action

· Will power
