  • Promotes relaxation and better sleep

Alternate Nostril Breathing Technique:

One effective breathing technique to enhance awareness is Alternate Nostril Breathing. This technique helps balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain, bringing a sense of calm and focus.

  1. Sit comfortably with your spine straight.
  2. Place your left hand on your left knee with the palm facing up.
  3. Use your right hand, place your thumb on your right nostril and your ring finger on your left nostril.
  4. Close your right nostril with your thumb and inhale through your left nostril.
  5. Close your left nostril with your ring finger, release your right nostril, and exhale through the right nostril.
  6. Inhale through the right nostril, close it with your thumb, and exhale through the left nostril.
  7. This completes one round. Repeat for 5-10 rounds.

Practice this technique regularly to experience increased awareness, focus, and a sense of inner peace.

Remember, the breath is a powerful tool that can help you navigate through life's challenges with grace and presence. Take a few moments each day to connect with your breath and see the positive impact it can have on your overall well-being.

Stay mindful, stay present, and keep breathing!
