Subject: Turning onto your right side pamelaporch
Hi,
Has anyone read the reasons for turning onto your right side after
relaxation? I just read them somewhere, and I can't find it again.
Thanks,

Perhaps because the heart is on the left side...And lying on the heart side
might be compressing the area too much.

This was the only reason I was given during classes and training. However I
just read a short article that listed a number of other reason, energy
channels, etc. Wish I could find it!

There is more pressure on your heart on the left side. This applies to
sleeping as well. It is advised to sleep on your right side.

I found the "article" -- well, I didn't, Pat, another teacher and friend,
did. I wrote to her and asked her if she had read it. She remembered, and
found it. Yoga Journal, May/June 05. I was just looking through that very
issue this AM, and even have the page turned down, and even looked at the
very page, but was looking at the first article, not the second, which it
was. Geez....
Anyway, here's what it says:
The practice of rolling to the right has a symbolic as well as a
physiological basis. In India, it is considered more auspicious to enter a
holy place with the right foot, and in many parts of the world, we extend
our right hand in greeting. The right side also represents the east;
rolling toward the east, or the rising sun, symbolized asking for blessings,
grace, and bliss.
Physiologically, since your heart is on the left, when you roll to the
right, it remains open and free of pressure. Rolling to the right also
keeps the ida nadi (on of the main channels of prana, or the life force
[chi], which corresponds to cooling energy) active and helps keep your body
in a state of calmness as you come into a sitting position.

Referring to rolling on the right side. Rolling to the right opens up the
left nostril. The left nostril effects the ida, right brain and calm, moon
energy of shakti. Rolling to the left opens the right nostril, the
pingala, the solar, energizing prana. Rolling for me is based on "what is
next." Do I want to keep my students calm or send them out to work?

Dear Victor,
This is not actually true.Throughout various times in the day we
breathe through either one nostril or the other.During the day it
keeps changing.There is actually a pranayama technique to swap the
nostril breathing over.When one experiences hot or cold energy it is
because of the ida and pingala and determined by which nostril is open
at the time.
It is also possible for another to open your sushumna allowing you to
breathe through both nostrils on a permanent basis.This is in
preparation for awkening of the K.

Victor,
I don't think it is a big deal under these circumstances, either. We are probably not long enough laying on the side to change nostril dominance. It's more, like another teacher said, about practicalities. It keeps students from ending up in each other faces, closer than they might be comfortable. Or did you question the concept of notril dominance ?
Take care,
Ute |

Victor,
I forgot one more thing. You'd keep the nostril dominance (for a while) when you sit up. You can change it by laying on the side opposite the notril you are trying to open.
Take care,
Ute |

Shri save!
In your above Email you have mentioed, interalia,that
"It is also possible for another to open your sushumna allowing you to breathe
through both nostrils on a permanent basis.This is in
preparation for awkening of the K."
Would you kindly high light as to which pranayama can lead to opening of the
sushumna, and how long one has to do the requisite pranayama for the same.Is it
Anuloma - Viloma pranayama.
With regards,
Ram
