You see (when the left nostril), when we are breathing through the left nostril,
somehow the right brain gets activated. It calms us down actually.
I'm so happy to be with you and to see you.
We have some questions.
Which questions would you like to answer?
There is one question,
"Any quick stress or anxiety relief measures?"
You know, I'm a believer of 'How to prevent it in the first place?'
I am a believer of vaccination. Before the problem comes, I must be able to identify
that I'm getting into it, and I better solve it.
Now the problem - today's problem especially- we are talking about this Coronavirus.
How to prevent it? If I have a successful methodology
of preventing me from getting that virus, preventing my family from getting this virus,
and when I deploy successful methods, defensive methods, then I will be lesser at stress.
I remain vulnerable in the absence of such security measures that they take, especially mentally.
Once I have taken, mentally, a certain resolved approach in preventing this virus, I will be more at peace.
How do I prevent myself from getting this? First of all, I must isolate myself or quarantine myself.
Second, if I go outside and if I have to go outside, if I must go outside, I better wear a mask.
Before putting on the mask, I’ve got to have few drops of oil put in my nose.
I don't know how many of you are familiar with this, but some mustard oil or coconut oil
or sesame oil or olive oil drops will suffice. So, when you put two-three drops in each nostril,
it will help capture those before they settle in the nasal passages.
Third thing I recommend, once you come back from your outside trip or visit - this is all about cleaning the nose
by pouring warm water from this side and taking it out from this side, and then pushing it from this side
and taking it out from this side. This cleans the nasal passages.
Now why am I recommending this? Cleaning nasal passages is very important during these times,
especially when we are faced by such a deadly virus. Once the virus is removed, you know,
there is no way that it is going to get hooked up with the receptors. There is no way that it will go to the lungs,
because you have already removed it from the nasal passages.
So that is one way of protecting ourselves. Another thing that you should do is, now and then, you know,
as the President of Belarus had suggested, those who are... it's not a joke, but I find lot of wisdom in it.
He said drink vodka, a little bit of vodka and go have some sauna also. Because this sauna
and vodka somehow does some trick on us. Because most medical physicians or healthcare dealers,
they recommend vaporizing your throat and nose when you have a cold.
But when you go to a sauna the whole thing is, you know, you're circulating the whole system
with higher temperatures and the steam is there, which will dislodge any viruses from your throat
or nasal passages. So there is some wisdom behind all these things, and there are some herbs,
herbal teas you keep drinking. If you can get Giloy powder or Giloy tea or Tulsi tea,
you can keep on drinking this every half hour or one hour,
because they also have some ingredients which compete
with the virus for what they call ACE2 protein receptors.
What am I talking about here? When the virus gets into your nose, it looks for those receptors
with which it hooks up. But certain chemicals of medicine which are there,
before the virus hooks up, they hook up, so there is no space left for viruses to get hooked on to.
So that is the logic behind these antiviral drugs. So I would recommend few of
these techniques that I have shared with you. Once the stress or anxiety kicks in, I would say slightly...
I know it is justifiable but it can be prevented also. I would recommend that when you are stressed,
breathe deeply about five, six times. And especially after breathing deeply five, six times,
you close your right nostril with your right thumb and then inhale and exhale from the left nostril.
And have your focus also towards your heart while you are doing this. Do this about five times or ten times,
it will calm you down tremendously and remove your stress in a big way. I will also show you
certain methodologies or you can visit my site (www.heartfulness.org) on how to get rid of these stresses.
I am not able to showcase all the methods we have been practising
for the Heartfulness way, but they are all proven techniques.
You can try it and see how it can help you and your families and friends.
You can download all these things for free.
There are no charges under Heartfulness practices.
What do you say, doctor?
Great. Great. I will do that. I will do that.
This idea about - left nostril. That's very good.
There's also a logic behind it. See, why do we do that? Because there is a big science behind it also.
If you permit me we can discuss all that. You see, when the left nostril,
when we are breathing through the left nostril, somehow the right brain gets activated. It calms us down actually.
