About �Nadi Shodan� (alternate nostril) pranayama.

Gurudev H.H Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji:

There are 1,82,000 nadis/ energy channels in our body. When we breathe, these are activated and that is why we are alive.

When we breathe through the left nostril, certain nadis are functioning and others function when we breathe through the right nostril. So when we alternate the breath through the nostrils, certain changes happen in the body and in our system. Our system gets purified. Fresh energy moves in the system and the stress is eliminated.

The left nostril activates the functioning of the right brain and vice versa. So when we alternate our breathing, all the brain waves get synchronized. Biochemical changes happen in the body. The Endocrine glands function better and any imbalance in body is rooted out. There are many benefits of pranayama.

Do your pranayama daily, keep smiling and have a blessed day
