Inhale Resistence

Benefits:

• Activates the parasympathetic nervous system, aiding digestion and calm
  
• Increases breath control and lung capacity
  
• Reduces mental noise and helps settle the body gently

Practice When & Why:

• Before or after eating, to support digestion and prevent discomfort
  
• When feeling scattered or overstimulated, to anchor the mind and smooth the breath
  
• During anxious moments, when you want to stay alert but calm

This grounding breath practice uses a slight narrowing of the nostrils to create gentle resistance on the inhale, slowing down the breath and helping you regulate energy and digestion. By intentionally breathing in through partially closed nostrils, you engage the diaphragm more deeply and bring steadiness to both body and mind. It’s subtle but powerful—ideal when you need to shift without force.
