The breath must flow through the right and left nostril. What to do if it is not? You cannot say, 'Moon, stop for a while; I will open my eyes then.' Time does not wait for anyone." The lecturer explains this ancient science of breath rhythms, relating it to the Ida and Pingala nadis. He details practical techniques, such as checking the active nostril upon waking and stepping forward with the corresponding foot to ensure success in daily activities.
