Pranayama

I recommend doing Pranayama breathing meditation. I like this for several reasons.

I have read some scientific research saying males breath through their right nostril and females through their left. So the breathing meditation makes your breathing balanced.

How I do Pranayama Mediation

Initially, inhale through one nostril, close it, exhale through the other. Now inhale through this nostril, close this and exhale through this other.

After 6 months of doing this, one can switch to the next step where the breath is held for sometime on inhale and freed after a minute through exhale. This breathing exercise, Pranayama, helps one to get rid of sinus problems if performed continuously. This I have learnt from a local guru and been successful in performing it.

Pranayama Gives You a Calm Quiet Mind

Initially, I could not concentrate on the inhales and exhales. Now, my mind is very calm and quiet with this exercise. I perform this twice a day. Certainly I would recommend this asana for those with a disturbed mind and need a good meditation.
