In Ayurveda, the left nostril is indicative of the moon energy, which in

turn symbolizes peace and has a cooling effect. Hence, for purification of

innumerous Nadis of the body, Nadi Shodhan should begin from the left

nostril.

1) The tip of the middle and ring fingers will remain placed between

the brows and the thumb will alternate between left and right nostril.

2) Press the right nostril with the right thumb such that the inhalation

can take place only through the left nostril and right one is blocked.

3) Now Inhale slowly through the left nostril, till the lungs are

completely filled. Then, immediately close the left nostril with the thumb

and open the right nostril to ‘exhale’ but slowly. Exhale till the lungs are

completely empty.

4) The process of ‘inhale with left nostril and exhale with right’ is “one

cycle”.

5) Then ‘inhale with right nostril and exhale with left’ is the “second

cycle” and so on.

Beginners can do this in sets of 3 with 15 cycles in each set. As days passed

with practice, try to increase the number of cycles to 30 and gradually the

speed too. When you are able to practice for longer duration, inhale with

as much force as possible, then also exhale forcefully in similar way.
