Two New Techniques to Try | 10 Min Guided Power and Alternate-Nostril Breathwork

Yo, everyone! I'm Ed. Today we'll introduce two new techniques. The first is Power Breathing. The other is Alternate Nostril Breathing. For Alternate Nostril Breathing, breathe through one nostril at a time. When breathing through your left nostril, close your right nostril with your right thumb. When breathing through your right nostril, close your left nostril with your index finger.

This technique quickly balances the nervous system and is very effective. It can bring deep relaxation and healing. It's okay if your nose is a little blocked. Keep going, and it will clear. For Power Breathing, breathe in and out through your nose. This technique helps clear your nose and quickly increases nitric oxide in your body.

That's nitric oxide, or NO. Simply breathing this way helps relax your muscles and blood vessels. It also trains your body's response to low oxygen, or how your body reacts when carbon dioxide levels become uncomfortable. Finally, we'll do Circular Breathing.

Breathe as if you're panting, in and out through your mouth. As you breathe, open your mouth wide. Open your throat, too. Then copy the sound I make as closely as you can. We'll do three rounds.

Each round has 20 Power Breaths, 20 Alternate Nostril Breaths, and finally, 20 Circular Breaths. Okay. Let's begin today's breathing journey. Round 1 Power Breathing. Very good.

As you breathe in through your nose, focus on the area around your nose. If your eyes or head feel tense, relax as much as you can. Let the air flow easily in and out. As you breathe, feel power flowing through every pore.

Release the toxins. Breathe in pure, powerful energy. Alternate Nostril Breathing. First, close your right nostril with your thumb. It's okay if your nose feels blocked. This is the remedy. It's okay if it doesn't clear yet. Keep noticing even the slightest airflow.
