Heat Wave Specific: Sitali Breath for Extra Cooling


(Apologies for the possibly messed up formatting.
I have no idea why this has been happening on and off; if anyone knows, would you please enlighten me!  Oh perhaps my labtop needs some cooling as well... )

Ready to try Sitali or Cooling Breath?  It's yogic breath (pranayama) that cools the body.

Unfortunately, it is not taught very often. 

I have been finding it very helpful during this heatwave to breathe like it then and again.  Nobody will notice what you are doing, because remember everyone is plugged in or doing the Pokemon thing anyway.
  • Curl your tongue (see photo) or
  • open your lips sligthly
  • and breath in through you curled tongue or pull in breath between your teeth 
  • pause if available if only for a second
  • exhale slowly through the nose or mouth 
The moisture of the tongue will cool your breath, and the cool breath will help you cool your body from the inside.

Oh and make sure you are well hydrated.
I hope this is helpful. 
Thank you for your visit as always. 

Blessings
B.
