Pranayama - nadi shodhan

[Guest guest]

Dear Sadhakas

 

I would like to ask a question about nadi shodhan. I have always

practiced this pranayam very comfortably, but a friend of mine has said

it is important to close the nostrils in a certain way. I have always

closed them by simply pressing gently with my thumb & 4th finger

(or 'ring finger' as some people call it.) She has said that it is

important to use the very tips of the fingers & not the pad of the

fingers as I do.

 

But would it really make any difference which part of the finger you

use, as long as you are closing them? I cant see how it would matter at

all...

 

 

With love

Dear Farah, that may be a little important but certainly not

cumpolsory. In Nadi shodhan, it is not the way we press the nostrils,

but what is important is regulate both outgoing and incoming breath in

tune.

 

When both the prana are attuned, the nadis get purified.

Hello Farahji,

 

Namaste!

 

Frankly what you are doing is correct. As Aumji said regulation is

important, but then what your friend was trying to say is that

ENERGY GOES OUT THROUGH THE TIP OF OUR FINGERS therefore placing

tip rather than pads is advantageous to a very minor degree correct.

Ask her what about the nails on the fingers. They should be

scruplously cut otherwise you could end in hurting yourself. Frankly

the energy coming out of the fingers would still fall on the nose and

there is actually no loss so please continue as you were doing.

 

With warm wishes,

 

Sudhakar
