Last week, I offered a masterclass on rewiring the stress response.
Rewatch it here. We talked a lot about how the breath is the one thing we can do to consciously train the nervous system and stress response to be more adaptive and resilient against stress. I wanted to share an additional technique we did not have time to cover fully; Swara Yoga, the ancient tantric science of studying the breath. In this guided breath-awareness and meditation, we'll create a balance between the left nostril (ida) and right nostril (pingala) to prepare the body and mind for a meditation at the third eye. Every 90-minutes, nasal predominance changes side to side, mainly shaping your energetic condition. When the right is predominant, you are active; you are more receptive when the left dominant. There are times when you need to be proactive and other times when it is necessary to open. Think leading a lecture vs. receiving a lecture. Our ability to influence these energetic paradigms is the key to health and wellbeing and one of the most remarkable yogic accomplishments.
