Stress Awareness Alternate Nostril Breathing Exercise To Reduce Stress
Alternate Nostril Breathing is a fabulous breathing exercise to help you reduce stress. Alternate nostril breathing, also known as Nadi Shodhana Pranayama, is a breathing technique that has been practiced in yoga for centuries. It involves breathing through one nostril while blocking the other, and then alternating sides. This technique has been shown to have a calming effect on the mind and body, which can be helpful in reducing stress and anxiety.
One reason alternate nostril breathing is effective in reducing stress is that it activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the "rest and digest" response in the body. This response helps to counteract the effects of the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the "fight or flight" response. When we are stressed, our sympathetic nervous system becomes activated, leading to increased heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle tension. By activating the parasympathetic nervous system, alternate nostril breathing helps to reduce these physical symptoms of stress.
In addition, alternate nostril breathing can also help to balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Research has shown that when we are stressed, our brain activity tends to be more dominant in the left hemisphere, which is associated with analytical thinking and rationality. By practicing alternate nostril breathing, we can stimulate both hemispheres of the brain, leading to a greater sense of balance and calm.
Try it and let me know what you think! I recommend 20 rounds with a round being a complete cycle through each nasal channel.
