NADI SODHAN PRANAYAM
Great for quieting the mind & One of the best breathing techniques for insomnia.
DO THIS ON YOUR BED BEFORE SLEEP
STEP 1 -
Sit comfortably & allow your left hand to rest on your left knee. Tuck in first two fingers of your right hand. Ring & little finger will be used to close left nostril & thumb to close the right.
STEP 2 -
Apply a slight amount of pressure (it doesn't need to be much) to the edge of the nostril to close it.
Take a few comfortable rounds of breath to begin with, just noticing the natural flow of your breath.
STEP 3 -
Take a deep inhale, exhale fully and at the end of your exhale close the right nostril with the thumb. Fully inhale through the left nostril. At the top of your inhale, close the left nostril with your little and ring fingers and release your thumb from the right nostril fully exhaling out of the right nostril.
STEP 4 -
Inhale through the right nostril and, at the top of your inhale, gently close the right nostril with the thumb, release the left nostril and exhale out of the left nostril.
You have now completed one round of the relaxing Nadi Shodhana Pranayama.
STEP 5 -
Continue inhaling & exhaling from alternate nostrils, starting with an inhale left/exhale right/ inhale right/exhale left. Continue for few minutes, ending with an exhale out of left nostril & then release both of your hands.
STEP 6 -
Now simply sit in stillness observing sensations of prana & enjoying the calm and stillness of your mind.
