Perhaps we are in need of some Perspective and Emotional Balance from the last couple of days in Vancouver.
This is a basic technique in Kundalini and Hatha Yoga.
Inhaling through the left nostril stimulates the brain's capacity to reset your framework of thinking and feeling, allowing new perspectives. Exhaling through the right nostril relaxes the constant computations of the brain, which helps to break automatic patterns. Regulating your breath pattern in this way sets a new level of brain functioning which establishes emotional balance and calmness after periods of intense stress or shock.
Here is how to do it:
Eyes - focus at the Brow Point
Mudra - Use the right thumb and right Mercury finger (pinkie) to close off alternate nostrils.
Breath Pattern - Close off the right nostril with the right thumb. Inhale deeply through the left nostril. When the breath is full, close off the left nostril with the little finger and exhale smoothly through the right nostril. The breath is complete, continuous and smooth. (If you are used to using the thumb and index or ring go with that)
Time - Continue with long, deep regular breaths for at least 3 minutes.
To End - Inhale, exhale completely, hold the breath out and apply mulbandh. Relax
