In this episode we look at Chandra Bhedana, a variation on Alternate Nostril Breathing (which was covered in more detail in episode 17). For Chandra Bhedana we breathe in through the left nostril and out through the right nostril. In Yoga, this is thought to stimulate the Ida nadi, the energy channel that is linked to the moon, the parasympathetic nervous system, introspective behaviour, and the right side of the brain. This technique can help move us into a more calm, receptive state, and can be really nice to practice before bed, before meditation, after a big meal, or anytime to feel a little anxious   www.thebreathworkclub.ie
