Benefits of shushumna breathing and conducive times



What happens during shushumna breathe

When we consciously breathe equally through both the nostrils, there is an inherent balancing of the autonomic nervous system, endocrine system, and the neuroendocrine system. These systems are responsible for the unconscious, subconscious, and superconscious control and regulation of the constant maintenance of the external and internal environment of the hundred trillion cells of the body called homeostasis. As a result, we can easily experience the perfect and integrated state of the health and well being.
