Alternate Nostril Breathing Links the Subconscious Mind to the Conscious Mind

Alice B. Clagett: Alternate nostril breathing is a yogic technique that brings the ida and the pingala to the light of Awareness. In terms of physiology, alternate nostril breathing links or hooks the autonomic nervous system to the somatic nervous system.

In terms of esoteric lore, alternate nostril breathing unites the subtle bodies termed the lower mental body and the higher mental body. In my own parlance, alternate nostril breathing brings the subconscious mind under the control of the conscious mind. I have but one caveat: Only try this practice on your medical doctor’s advice …

3. Then switch back to the finger position shown in step 1, and exhale long and deep through the left nostril.

Keeping the same finger position, begin again with the instructions for Step 1.

Continue with this alternate nostril breath for a few minutes, but stop at any time if you begin to feel uncomfortable.

After mastering pranayama you may wish to go on to mudras, mantras, asanas, and kriyas.

In the image below, for example, kundalini yoga students are practicing Sat Kriya, a yoga technique I will be recommending in video 14 of this series.

Yoga mudras, mantras, asanas, and kriyas can be practiced to achieve the same effect as pranayama, but with somewhat more difficulty in terms of technique. For more on that, see the Healthy Happy Holy Organization website … https://www.3ho.org ..

The subconscious mind normally is the mind that controls the nerves of the autonomic nervous system and the fight-or-flight response and the freeze-fawn-and-flop responses.

But through our own strength of Will, we can use the bodily movements under our conscious control … those innervated by the somatic nervous system … to influence our subconscious mind. In that way we can consciously control our responses to threat energy.

But through our own strength of Will, we can use the bodily movements under our conscious control … those innervated by the somatic nervous system … to influence our subconscious mind. In that way we can consciously control our responses to threat energy. –Alice B. Clagett

The path to voluntary control of our involuntary responses is prescribed in ancient yogic lore. The yoga techniques set forth in the ancient texts are ways of expanding and refining our human energy fields.

When we practice these techniques, our conscious minds become able to control our subconscious minds.

How to Achieve Both Traditional Enlightenment and Ascended Enlightenment

Introduction

Matthew Nihra: The state known traditionally to be that of enlightenment has to do only with these two minds … the subconscious mind, and the conscious mind.

You may recall that the Autonomic Nervous System, which was described above, is under subconscious control.

The first subsection below describes a separate nervous system … the Somatic Nervous System; that nervous system is under our conscious control. In other words, we can govern the Somatic Nervous System through our strength of will.

. . . . .

The second subsection below has to do with how we can yoke the subconscious mind to the conscious mind, so we can lay the foundation for achieving what has traditionally been known as a state of enlightenment.

. . . . .

To say this in another way, we will learn how to yoke the Autonomic Nervous System to the Somatic Nervous System.

. . . . .

After the subconscious mind is yoked to the conscious mind, there is still the work of perfecting the conscious mind … of making the conscious mind into what is termed ‘One Mind’.

As you may know, the process of attaining ‘One Mind’ also falls within the aegis of traditional enlightenment lore. This unity of the conscious mind in order to attain enlightenment in the traditional sense is dealt with in the succeeding subsection.

. . . . .

Because of the Ascension process that began in the year 2012, our Awareness as human beings has been expanded to encompass not two minds but four minds.

The new definition of the state of Enlightenment perforce includes two additional minds that heretofore were inaccessible.

During Solar events that bring in great influxes of what Lightworkers term the Incoming Light, a state of Enlightenment of all four minds is now available to all humankind. That is because the Incoming Light provides enough wattage and voltage to bring all four minds within the searchlight of our Awareness. 

Whether we are able to take advantage of the Incoming Light depends on our response to the stress induced by these influxes of Light.

How to Stay Alive During a Solar Event. The Nuts and Bolts

Subconscious Alternation of the Breath from Nostril to Nostril

. . . . .

Our human breath naturally subconsciously alternates between the left nostril and the right nostril during the day. A small scientific study has reported the interval for coursing of the breath through one nostril as being about 2 hours while waking … and about 4 and a half hours while sleeping.

The article is Measuring and Characterizing the Human Nasal Cycle, by Roni Kahana-Zweit and others. It was published on the National Library of Medicine website …

. . . . .

Conscious Alternation of the Breath from Nostril to Nostril

Rather than waiting 2 to 4 hours to attain a balance of ida and pingala, we can consciously switch to left nostril breathing or to right nostril breathing. We can consciously change the operation of the autonomic nervous system … and the subconscious mind … by practicing left-nostril or right-nostril breathing, as described below. These techniques I find to be a sure way to deal with solstice and equinoctial energies, and with solar wind gusts and geostorms.

I have but one caveat: Only try these yogic breathing practices on your medical doctor’s advice …

How to Do Left-Nostril Breathing

Left-nostril breathing has a calming relaxing effect. It is easily practiced, even by a novice to the science of yoga.

. . . . .

While first learning left-nostril breathing, use the thumb of the right hand to close off the right nostril. The mouth is also closed. This forces the breath through the left nostril. The other fingers of the right hand are pointed up, like antennae.

After a while, I found it was possible to switch to left-nostril breathing by simply placing my Awareness on the left nostril, and feeling the breath there. The hand pose was no longer needed.

Long Deep Breathing Helps Us Judge Whether to Do Left-Nostril Breathing or Right-Nostril Breathing When We Are in Danger During a Solar Event

Alice B. Clagett: When the breath becomes long and deep, the feelings of a person facing stressful events become less involved in the outcome. The person becomes the neutral witness of the events that are unfolding. This is the yogic state known as ‘neutral mind’.

I advise practicing Long Deep Breathing all day long. I have found that this breathing technique helps me judge whether to switch to right-nostril breathing or to left-nostril breathing when danger looms during a Solar event. Long deep breathing can help me gain that extra instant in which I am able consciously to decide on a right course of action.

Then exhale completely. Continue … COMMENTS: My hands are raised to show how the lungs feel full of air. While meditating, it is fine to leave your hands, palms up, on your knees. Some yoga groups do long deep breathing with hands in ‘gyan mudra’, whose description can be found online. –Alice B. Clagett

. . . . .

It could be, for instance, that I might have a notion of ‘acting out’ during a Solar event. Long deep breathing can help me decide that left-nostril breathing will help me avoid acting out. In that way it can help me inhibit my own fight-or-flight response.

. . . . .

It might also be that, while doing long deep breathing, I notice other people ‘acting out’ or in danger of ‘acting out’. Long deep breathing can help me decide that right-nostril breathing will help me to safely get away from these people before they begin to ‘act out’. In that way long deep breathing can help me inhibit my own freeze, fawn, and flop responses.

How to Stay Alive During a Solar Event: Introduction

Matthew Nihra: This section is a brief run-through of the logic behind the yogic breathing techniques that the series author and I find helpful for our own survival. These breathing techniques help us get clear of other people who are impelled to ‘act out’ during Solar events. The succeeding section describes the ‘nuts and bolts’ of these yogic breathing techniques.

Lightworkers speak of remaining ‘in form’ during these times as a way of softening the fact that our lives may sometimes be in danger. This and the succeeding section speak to this need to stay alive.

We who are called to assist all humankind to Enlightenment must stay alive in order to be of service to everyone. We cannot serve as Lightworkers or pathfinders during the Ascension process here on Earth unless we are careful to remain ‘in form’ during these turbulent times. We feel that very strongly.

. . . . .

The same logic applies to those of our readers just now arising to an enlightened state. Each of us must improve our yogic skills in order to make it through, come what may. Survival is a very important aspect of life on Earth.

With this as the end I have in mind, let me take you step-by-step through a logical process that will determine what course of action may best keep us alive during these perilous times on Earth. Here we go …

There are three main power currents (‘nerve currents’ or ‘nadis’) in the human personal energy field. Depicted are two of these, the sushumna and the ida. The sushumna is shown as a column of white light that runs vertically along the spine. Through the sushumna flows the central vertical power current or ‘kundalini’ of the human energy field. The ida is shown as a wavy white line of light originating at the left side of the base of the spine, coursing upward through the chakras to the third-eye point (6th chakra). The cooling and relaxing energy of the ida courses through the left nostril. Personal chakras 1 through 7 (those within the torso) are depicted as spheres of light. The colors, from lowest to highest, are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The indigo sphere of light at the level of the eyebrows (or slightly higher) represents the third-eye point (the 6th chakra or ‘ajna’). The violet sphere of light at the top of the head represents the crown chakra (the 7th chakra or ‘many-petaled lotus’).

Here is our rationale for this assertion …

Parasympathetic Nervous System Relates to the Freeze Response

The parasympathetic nervous system is said to be associated with the ‘freeze-and-dissociate’… ‘rest and digest’ … and ‘feed and breed’ … functions of the subconscious mind. Thus the series author feels that the parasympathetic nervous system is related to the cooling ida energy of yogic lore.

Sympathetic Nervous System Relates to the Fight-or-Flight Response

The sympathetic nervous system is said to be associated with the fight-or-flight response of the subconscious mind. Thus the series author derives that the sympathetic nervous system is related to the stimulating pingala energy of yogic lore.

Left-Nostril Breathing and Right-Nostril Breathing Stimulate Ida and Pingala Respectively

As mentioned earlier, the ida is associated with breathing through the left nostril; and the pingala is associated with breathing through the right nostril.

. . . . .

First Conclusion: Left-Nostril Breathing Stimulates the Freeze Response

Thus the series author finds, in her personal yogic practice, that stimulation of the ida through left-nostril breathing will bring about the freeze response of the parasympathetic nervous system. She feels it may also factor into the fawn response and the flop response to a perceived threat, as these seem to her also to relate to ‘cooling’ energies.

. . . . .

Second Conclusion: Right-Nostril Breathing Stimulates the Fight-or-Flight Response

On the contrary, the series author finds that stimulation of the pingala through right-nostril breathing will bring about the fight-or-flight response of the sympathetic nervous system. My own experience confirms this.

Grand Conclusion: Our Choice of Left-Nostril Breathing or Right-Nostril Breathing Can Help Us to Avoid ‘Acting Out’ and to Escape from Other People ‘Acting Out’ During Solar Events

During a Solar event, we can avoid ‘acting out’ … or else we can escape from other people who are ‘acting out’ … through our choice of left-nostril breathing or right-nostril breathing.

If you find this to be true (as did the series author and I), then you will have at hand a means of changing up your response to solstice and equinoctial energies, and to solar wind gusts and geostorms.

. . . . .

By consciously breathing through the left nostril only, a person can move out of the fight-or-flight response, and into the freeze response. In other words, it seems to us that left-nostril breathing can help us to ‘put on the brakes’ and to avoid ‘acting out’.

This applies when we ourselves feel tempted to overreact to stress by ‘acting out’.

For example, through left-nostril breathing we might avoid taking a bus out of town to escape what we overestimate to be danger. That might save us money.

Or we might avoid angrily confronting other people as a reaction to stress. That might save us begging their pardon and setting our relationships back in order.

In other words, breathing through the left nostril might help us to attain a calm and thoughtful mind even in the midst of a stressful situation.

. . . . .

By consciously breathing through the right nostril only, a person can move out of the freeze response, and into the fight-or-flight response during stressful situations.

In other words, it seems to us that right-nostril breathing can help a person avoid being ‘a sitting duck’ and ‘freezing in fear’ as other people ‘act out’. In that way, it seems to us, right-nostril breathing can help us to fight back or else to escape from a violent person or situation in these perilous times.
