Breathe !

The yogi's nose is the pathway for energy, is it not. The nostrils 'should' be cleared on waking. Splash some cold water around the face, this will get the blood supply to that area more vital. blow out any excess mucus, then use the 'neti'. Then do some kapalbhatti pumping 20 - 30 - 50 - 100 pumps, or more depending on your skills. Repeat for 3 -4 rounds or more depending on your skill. Do this with the window open preferably. Then spend some time sitting and breathing in and out through both nostrils. Inhale and exhale at an even ratio, inhale 4, exhale 4, or if more skilled for 8 or more. Do this for as long as you have the time or inclination. Stay focused and keep the mind on counting. Then do some asana practise with the mind focused on the breath.

Then enjoy the day ahead. If you notice the nostrils blocking do something about it. The nostrils are the main source of oxygen intake. Mouth breathing brings in more oxygen but it also carries more particles into the throat and beyond because it bypasses the filtering process of the nasal passages and sinuses.

Do it everyday! Why Not ??
