Switch Breath – Focus Your Mind With This Super Simple Breath
The official name for this breathing technique is Nadi Shodhana. It helps to link both sides of the brain and gets the body and mind working together.
“Pointers” To Make This Flow Smoothly…
Finger Placement
Fingers should be lightly placed with the thumb and index finger on either side of the nose, just below the bone.
You may rest your pointer and middle finger on your third eye point.
Begin on the Right
After taking a couple of breaths, start by closing off the left nostril, exhale out through the right. Pause. Inhale in through the right nostril. Switch to open the left and close the right nostril. Exhale left. Pause. Inhale left. Switch.
Start with 5 rounds.
After getting used to that increase to 7 rounds. Then you might enjoy 2 rounds of 7… The idea is to keep it simple. Don’t add in anxiety – just keep it easeful and relaxed.
Amplify Your Focus With Essential Oils
Combine this breath technique with a diffuser blend to help you focus. That’s where the magic really happens. They fuel each other to instil clarity and clarity, or if you prefer calm and peacefulness depending on what you add to the diffuser.
Favourite Blends for Focus
If you want to keep this simple. Diffuse Lemon.
If you want to amplify your brain power after Switch Breath, then experiment with Frankincense, Sandalwood, Rosemary, Lemon, Lime, {any citrus really…} and peppermint.
