Something interesting I received in an e-mail from a friend.
"Our noses have left and right nostrils. Are these nostrils having the same function for inhaling (breathe in) and exhaling (breathe out)?
Actually it's not the same and we can feel the difference. Accordingly, the right side represents the sun and the left side represents the moon.
When having headache, try to close your right nostril and use your left nostril to do breathing for about 5 min.
The headache will be gone. If you feel too tired, do it the opposite way. Close your left nostril and breathe through your right nostril. After a while, you will feel refreshed again.
Because the right side belongs to heat, so it gets hot easily. The left side gets cold easily..
Women breathe mainly with their left nostril, so they get calm down easily.
Men breathe mostly with their right nostril, so they get angry easily.
When we wake up, do we notice which nostril breathes faster? Is it the left side or the right side?
If the left nostril breathes faster, you will feel very tired. Close your left nostril and use your right nostril for breathing and you will get refresh quickly.
You can teach your kids about it. The effect of breathing therapy is much better for adults.
I used to have painful headache. When consulted a doctor, he told me jokingly," You will be all right if you get married!" The doctor did not bullshit me as he had his theory and supported with testimony.
During that time, I used to have headache every night and I was not able to study. I took medicine but I was not cured.
One night as I sat down to medidate, I closed my right nostril and breathed with my left nostril. In less than a week, it seemed that my headache problem had left me! I continued doing it for about a month and since then there was no recurrence of headache in me.
This is my own experience. I used to tell others who also suffer headache to try this method as it was effective for me. It also works for those who have tried as well. This is a natural therapy, unlike taking medicines for a long time may have side effect. So, why don't you try it out?
Practice the correct ways of breathing (breathe in and breathe out) and your body will be in a very relaxing condition".

I shall try this; it's the same in the theories my husband has learned from Tai Chi and Kung Fu.
I do get nasty, nasty headaches from time to time. I often think it's my way of giving myself permission to stop as the only thing that works is going to sleep with a cool stone on my forehead. I've written a bit today about family issues that affect me today and letting myself be gentle with myself when unwell is a part of it.
Thanks for this!

Hope this will help with your headaches. Yoga is very helpful. I have tried it. I've been busy lately and unable to come to the blog!
Take Care Viv.
I am not able to do yoga sadly because no reputable instructor would teach me. I have hypermobility syndrome which means all my joints move far more than they should, and I can injure myself very easily doing moves that should take years to learn. At forty three I can still do almost the entire splits, plus the lotus position without needing to limber up; my body is just strung together wrong. But the breath teachings I'd like to learn; at least I can't end up paralysed that way.
Take care yourself, Shweta!
