Lesson 4

Practice: Nadi Shodhana For Balance

In this lesson, you'll get to experience a classic yogic breath practice for bringing balance to the nervous system. You will practice breathing through alternate nostrils. In yogic philosophy, there are two different energy channels in the body, called ida and pingala, also called the sun and moon channels and you can stimulate these by breathing through one nostril. Breathing through the right nostril stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, this would be the sun channel - blood circulation speeds up, your temperature can rise, cortisol, blood pressure and heart rate all rise. Breathing through the right nostril also increases blood in the left hemisphere of the brain, specifically the left prefrontal cortex, which is associated with logical decision making, language and computing. Then breathing through the left nostril stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, this would be the moon channel - this lowers blood pressure, slows your heart rate, and lowers your temperature. It also shifts blood flow to the right side of the pre-frontal cortex, which is associated with creativity and emotion. When you’re practicing nadi shodhana and evening out the breaths like this, you’re focusing on creating a balance between these two channels.

Lesson 6

Practice: Somatic Meditation For Creating Neutrality With Opposites Of Emotions Or Beliefs

Experience a somatic meditation to explore how an emotion or belief shows up in your body. You'll then identify the opposite of this emotion or belief and feel this too. You'll explore creating the space to hold both at the same time, potentially ending up creating a feeling of neutrality. In nervous system terms, neutrality is associated with a feeling of safety. This means neither emotion nor belief feels 'sticky' and you can consciously choose how to move forward without clinging onto or rejecting either belief or emotion.
