𝐉𝐚𝐥 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐢: Jal Neti is an ancient yogic practice that involves pouring water into one nostril and allowing it to drain out the other. This simple but effective technique can be used to cleanse the sinuses, improve breathing, and boost overall health.
The benefits of Jal Neti are many and include relief from allergies, colds, and flu; improved respiratory function; reduced stress levels; and increased mental clarity. This practice is also said to help detoxify the body, improve digestion, and promote a sense of well-being.
If you're new to Jal Neti, it's best to start with a small amount of water and gradually increase the amount as you become more comfortable with the technique. It's important to use filtered or distilled water for this practice, as tap water can contain impurities that can irritate the sinuses.

7. HORMONAL CHANGES
Pituitary gland releases all stimulating hormones in a balanced manner to
set Homeostasis.
Stress levels ceases by the diversion of perception from long standing
thoughts to self observation. This may be by Opioids from thalamus.
This is how the luminence of each cell sets forth and sets Aura.
PSYCHOLOGICAL CHANGES
Self observation during few seconds of practice, is "Meditation".
It improves creativity and ease during stressful situations, is "Sattvic".
Hence it is the early morning kriya before any other practice.
