Stillness Practices

Nostril Balancing

Breath-Focused

A classic energy-balancing practice that harmonizes the left and right hemispheres of the brain. It is excellent for clearing mental fog and soothing a scattered, multitasking mind.

Instructions

  1. Set your hand: Bring your right hand up to your nose, resting your thumb and ring finger near your nostrils. 

  2. Close the right side: Use your thumb to close your right nostril. 

  3. Inhale left: Breathe in slowly through your open left nostril. 

  4. Switch sides: Close your left nostril with your ring finger, and release your thumb to open the right nostril. 

  5. Exhale right: Breathe out completely through your right nostril. 

  6. Inhale right: Breathe in deeply through that same right side. 

  7. Switch back: Close the right side, open the left side, exhale fully. 

  8. Continue looping: Repeat this pattern for 2 to 3 minutes.
