Use this position of
the right hand. The right hand is the
hand of activity. The thumb closes the
right nostril, the ring finger closes the left nostril.
1. Test each
nostril, determine which nostril is more open.2.
If the right
nostril is more open when you begin, you will first exhale through the right
nostril.
3.
If the left
nostril is more open, exhale first through the left nostril.
4.
If both
nostrils are open equally, exhale through the right nostril first.
5.
Begin Nadi
Shodanam by breathing in through both nostrils.
6.
Exhale
through the starting nostril, i.e., the more open nostril, then inhale through
the same nostril.
7.
Switch the
fingers to block the other nostril.
8.
Exhale
through the second nostril, then inhale through the same nostril.
9.
Continue
this pattern for about 5 to ten minutes or as long as desired, and anytime you
desire.
