##### 💨 Anuloma Viloma [[On Tools, Skills, and Practices...]] Type: [[🕯️ Breathwork 💨]] Use: [[🛠 Self-Soothing]] Be sure to practice [[💨 Nadi Shuddhi]] before Anuloma Viloma. From [[Sanskrit]] Anuloma Viloma it translates to "alternate nostril breathing," but instead of alternating by blocking our nostrils, we don't block anything, we just change which nostril we're paying attention to. ###### The Practice - No using fingers, just focusing the attention on inhalation and exhalation in the contralateral nostril. - As you inhale, focus on your left nostril – feel the air flow through it. - As you exhale focus on your right nostril – feel the air flow out. - Inhale again, but this time focusing on your right nostril. - Exhale through you your left nostril to complete one round. After two weeks to one month of combining [[💨 Nadi Shuddhi]] Anuloma Viloma by using both for 10 minutes each day, you can move on to [[💨 Prana Shuddhi]]. [^1]: [[Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health]]
