In this busy world, many people suffer from sleeping problems. Everyone has their own way of dealing with this problem. In Japan, sleepless nights are tackled with 'moon breathing', a free exercise that works wonders.
This is how moonbreathing works:
- Make sure you lie or sit comfortably.
- Close your eyes and relax. Imagine that you are floating in a swimming pool with cooling water.
- Push your right nostril closed with your right thumb. Then inhale deeply through your left nostril. for what? The left side of your body is thought to be more closely linked to your nervous system.
- In the meantime, keep your index and middle fingers resting loosely on your palm. Keep your ring finger and pinky straight.
- While exhaling, move your fingers. Now close your left nostril with your ring finger, while your thumb releases your other nostril.
- Keep repeating this exercise until you feel more relaxed. If you perform the exercise correctly, your head should feel freer and you can go to sleep peacefully instead of worrying.
