Chandra Bhedi Pranayam - Moon (Left) Nostril Breathing

 

Try this quick and easy Moon (Left) Nostril Breathing, in sanskrit, known as Chandra Bhedi Pranayam. This incredibly effective technique is to cool down whether it's a hot day you're trying to survive or high pitta (fire element) conditions that you're dealing with. It is best practiced along with your daily practices of yoga and meditation in the morning and evening for 3-5 minutes. Yet, don't underestimate its power and ability to calm you down on a busy day where you find yourself in the middle of too much, overwhelmed with responsibilities way over your head. You may practice it even with your eyes open, easily while working, stuff in traffic, or in the middle of an outrage to quickly see calming and cooling results.
