Transcripts
many of us we don't notice it at sunrise if you
see your breath will change if it was left it will go
to right if it was right it will go to left when you
breathe through the right nostril your metabolism
is twice as much as it is with the left
sleeping on the left side your sleep will be better
you know our breath changes in the nostrils
one hour cycle our breath has
for one hour it goes through the left then it changes
to the right for one hour and it is aligned with the
universe with the movement of sun moon stars and
everything at sunrise if you see your breath will
change if it was left it will go to right if it is right it
will go to left observe it during sunrise and sunset
again it happens your breath changes nostril
when you breathe through the right nostril your
metabolism is twice as much as it is with the
left that's why the right nostril is called the sun
sun is more powerful left is called moon where is
your metabolism is half when you breathe through
the right nostril your left brain is functioning
and when you are breathing more through the left
your right brain is functioning left brain is logic
right brain is music if your left side is functioning
more you are able to understand me better when
your right brain is more active you are listening
you're listening to it like a music you don't bother
to think analyze like that when both nostrils are functioning that's when meditation
happens and the balance happens right and left brain activity gets
balanced when the right nostril functions that is
when you must eat your body signals you when you
should eat there's a secret to it when the right nostril
functions your metabolism is high when you eat at
that time the food gets well digested right nostril eat
and drinking in the left what we do? usually we eat
and drink at the same time why? because the solid
food gets digested with the stomach juice the
gastric hydrochloric acid in your stomach when
you drink what happens? that juice gets diluted
then your food doesn't get well digested undigested
food remains and becomes what is called in the Ayurveda called à€à€źà€Ÿ Aama
Aama means a sort of something that harbours
not so friendly bacterias when you have to eat food
right [nostril] should function and after half an hour
one hour you can drink you can have soup you can
have anything but not just plain water or Coke or
all those aerated drinks immediately after food
there's a couplet in Sanskrit in the Ayurveda that says
water before food a little bit is good for digestion
in the middle it is good for digestion but in the end
it creates toxins in the body
bhojana ante visham vaari
in the end of the food if you drink water it's going
to make it toxic slow toxicity will develop in the
system so when you should drink? either one hour
before meal or when you have had a full meal
one hour later by that time all the gastric juice
everything mixes with the food and they start to digest the food
salad and water or any aerated juice is a no no no
you eat salad and then you have Coke or something no good
when you are in the toilet if the right [nostril] is
functioning then your bowel movement is clear but
if you are in the toilet and the left is functioning within 3 hours you have to go back again
you have to go and clear it again
now sleep also which side do you sleep?
left side that's better your sleep is will be better
sleeping on the left side when you lie down on
the left side the right nostril will start functioning
this is a healthy habit many of us we don't notice it
if you sleep on the right side you have vivid dreams
and you can't get deep sleep and you wake up
you still feel tired you can change sides but say
about 50% 60% of the time you should sleep on
the left side this you can do even after a meal but
if you have had a meal you try to sleep on the
right side you can't many people say eat much
before you sleep because you tend to sleep on
the right side and then the food gets into your
esophagus you feel burping you feel uncomfortable
but if you sleep on the left side even after a meal
suppose you had a late dinner it doesn't affect you
badly as much as it does on the other side
suppose the breath is not changing and you are
on a dining table you have to eat what to do?
have you seen this ancient rishis and they used
to keep a stick to their side you know why they
keep it? so that the breath changes remains in
the left side so you can meditate long so what you
should do is just put your fist under the opposite
side and press it if you press the left side the
right will function okay never mind if it not
happens all the time never mind try to follow
as much as possible
if you have noticed the moment I walked in both
[nostrils] would have happened if the teacher is real
you just look at your nostril both will function
if you happen to be driving and if you pass by
a place of worship or a place where people are
meditating suddenly both nostrils will function
even if its just for 2 minutes and if you are passing
by airport also it happens because the Prana or
the breath does not know difference between temple and an airport because airport uplifts your
body temple uplifts your spirit and whenever in
you are working and both nostrils are functioning
and if it's not Wednesday then it is better to be
quiet at that time you talk do any action it's not
going to be okay how do I do this? all the time
keep watching my breath? no need, it will naturally
happen when your mind is calm serene pleasant
and happy and how can you do that? through
your practices breathing pranayama meditation
all this will help so knowledge in the right [nostril]
music in the left [nostril] and
when both [nostrils are on]Â meditation
so these are some practical wisdom
