Comments

You should be able to switch nostrils by concentrating on it. The left side is directly related with calmness, and the right nostril with energy. So if you can’t feel sleep at night, lie down on the right side and with the pillow apply slight pressure to the right nostril so that you are breathing through the left nostril.
