DIAPHRAGMATIC BREATHING

Diaphragm is one of the area where we hold stress mostly in the form of fear. When stress is held in the diaphragm, our body's reaction is to hunch forward, causing tension in the shoulders.
As a result, the chest becomes constricted and lungs are not fully expanded, leading us to feel out of breath and generally feeling exhausted.

With the right breathing technique, we can better connect with the breath and allow relaxation to flow into the body.

You can practise this exercise any time of the day. Better time would be doing it after Yoga asanas or before going to sleep at night.

Note:
1.Inhale through the nose and slowly exhale through the mouth as if you are exhaling through the straw.

2. If you don't feel comfortable exhaling through the mouth, exhale through the nose itself. It is good to let exhalation happen automatically. Avoid forced exhalation.

3. While lying dying on the floor, you can bent your knees and keep a soft pillow below your lower back. By doing this we are trying to raise our hip up and let the flow of breath happen naturally.

BEST PHYSICAL PRACTICES, THERAPIES & REMEDIES TO GROUND & BALANCE ENERGY

I have found that those with imbalance/grounding issues look for guidance everywhere. They search all over the internet - read many articles, blogs, forums ; meet many doctors and therapists ; spends a lot of time, money and energy, yet they did not find something substantial that could give them the clarity that the problem could be solved in short period of time. Many lose hope. Many lose the most important years of their life; some lose their jobs, relationships,etc. For whatever this may have happened, I would always suggest someone to learn from authentic teacher or organisation, who or which has years of expertise in this area.

DISSIPATING NEGATIVE THOUGHTS - BALANCING LEFT AND RIGHT BRAIN

In this article I've tried to add some of the things that you can do if you are experiencing a cloud of negative thoughts especially due to unprepared awakening. First of all check how is your breathing pattern. Is it shallow or long? Which nostril is more dominant- left or right? When the left nostril is active then the right brain is active. And when the right nostril is active then the left brain is active. The right brain is music. The left brain is logic. So those who have right nostril active understand better. If both are active you are in meditation. However if only the right nostril is active, no meditation happens. Whenever we hold onto something (Desire, planning, sense of identity) we are into the left brain. Right brain is more about expansion, creativity, dropping the labels, identities etc. If you are caught up in a cloud of negative thoughts/emotions, then most probably your right nostril (left brain) is more dominant. We need to switch to the right brain
