Surya Bheda

 

 Purpose

Surya means sun. The path of the sun is the right nostril. When you inhale solely through the right nostril you generate heat energy which is sent out through your body. Impurities are dispelled. The movement of Prana is unblocked. You are vibrating at a higher frequency which helps your immune system in general. This kinetic energy may be used to release psychic forces.
