Technique of Sūryabhedana: inhalation through the right nostril, exhalation through the left. The inverse pattern to what typically purifies.

This pattern charges the system with solar energy (sūrya), activating the sympathetic nervous system, increasing heat and metabolic energy.

It is recommended in cases of lethargy, depression, or coldness. It counteracts excess lunar energy — heaviness, sluggishness, passivity.
