A balancing breathwork practice to calm the mind and restore inner clarity.

What it is:
Alternate Nostril Breathing (also known as Nadi Shodhana) is a gentle breathing technique from yogic tradition. It helps balance both sides of the brain and nervous system, supporting calm focus and emotional regulation.

This practice is especially helpful when you feel scattered, overstimulated, or energetically out of sync.

How it works:
You use your fingers to alternate breathing through one nostril at a time in a rhythmic pattern.

The basic pattern:

1. Close your right nostril and inhale through the left

2. Close your left nostril and exhale through the right

3. Inhale through the right

4. Close your right nostril and exhale through the left
   → This completes one round. Repeat for 5–10 rounds, or as needed.

Why it helps:

• Balances left and right brain activity

• Regulates and calms the nervous system

• Increases mental clarity and emotional steadiness

• Supports focus, presence, and energetic reset

When to use it:

• Before meditation, journaling, or creative work

• To reset your energy after screen time or stress

• Anytime you feel emotionally or mentally imbalanced

• As a grounding ritual to begin or end your day
