Shankha prakshalana
Shankhaprakshalana is a yogic cleansing technique used to cleanse the entire digestive tract. It involves drinking warm saltwater and performing specific asanas (poses) to help move the water through the digestive system. Here are the 5 key poses used in Shankhaprakshalana:
1. Tadasana (Palm Tree Pose)
Stand with feet together and arms by your side. Raise your arms above your head, interlocking your fingers with palms facing upward. Stretch your body upward while standing on your toes, hold for a few seconds, and then return. This pose helps the water move through the stomach into the small intestine.
2. Tiryaka Tadasana (Swaying Palm Tree Pose)
Stand in Tadasana with arms raised. While keeping the feet flat on the ground, bend the upper body to the right, hold briefly, then bend to the left. This helps the water move through the intestines.
3. Kati Chakrasana (Waist Rotating Pose)
Stand with feet hip-width apart, arms stretched out in front. Twist the upper body to the right, wrapping the left arm around the torso, and look over the right shoulder. Twist back to the left in a similar way.This pose helps the water continue its journey through the intestines.
4. Tiryaka Bhujangasana (Twisting Cobra Pose) Lie face down with legs hip-width apart, palms flat on the floor beside the chest. Raise your torso into a cobra pose, then twist your head and upper body to look over your right shoulder. Return to the center, and then twist to the left. This pose aids in moving the water through the lower abdomen.
5. Udarakarshanasana (Abdominal Stretch Pose)
Squat down with feet flat and hands on the knees. Twist your torso, bringing the right knee to the ground while keeping the left knee up, and then switch sides. This movement encourages the water to reach the lower part of the intestines and colon.
These asanas are performed in sequence with the consumption of saltwater, helping in cleansing the digestive tract.

Breath
Power of Breath
Our breath changes nostrils every hour, aligned with the universe and the movement of the sun, moon, and stars. At sunrise and sunset, our breath switches nostrils.
Breathing through the right nostril increases metabolism and is associated with the left brain (logic). Breathing through the left nostril is associated with the right brain (music and creativity).
Eating and Digestion
Eat when the right nostril is functioning (metabolism is high).
Avoid drinking water or aerated drinks immediately after eating. Drink water one hour before or after meals.
Salad and water or aerated juice together is not recommended.
Sleep
Sleep on the left side for better sleep and digestion. Right nostril functioning during sleep leads to vivid dreams and poor sleep quality.
Practical Tips
Press your fist under the opposite side to activate the other nostril.
Practice breathing, pranayama, and meditation to calm the mind and balance breath. When both nostrils are functioning, meditation and balance occur.
Additional Insights
Knowledge is associated with the right nostril, music with the left nostril, and meditation with both nostrils. When the mind is calm, serene, pleasant, and happy, breath balance occurs naturally.
