Nostril Breathing for Revitalizing energy or meditative state

I have noticed that mostly my right nostril is blocked. No wonder I am always tired and don't have enough energy. The sites below are confirming that right nostril breathing gives Revitalizing breath for physical energy. It also removes Kafa (mucus) imbalance. So if you have sinus or asthma try breathing through right nostril. Right NB is also helps weight loss, they claim.  It is the masculine energy which gives heat, competitiveness and force.

So what does the left nostril breathing do? Its feminine, nurturing, calm and cool. The moon energy. It has sedating and calming effect, good for meditative state. Since one of the following sites claims that Diabetics mainly breath through the right nostril, may be breathing through left will help them.

It is interesting that left nostril controls the right brain and vice versa

Left Brain is Logical, Sequential, Rational, Analytical, Objective and looks at parts.
Right Brain is Random, Intuitive, Holistic, Synthesizing, Subjective and looks at whole.

Modern society values, rewards and respects left brain thinkers more than right brain thinkers. Right-brained thinkers focus on aesthetics, feeling, and creativity. This is the side that evolves when we meditate.

In yoga system, Ida nadi is the lunar, feminine, nurturing side while pingala is the sun, masculine, logical side. Alternate-nostril breathing is effective in balancing ida and pingala. This practice is effective because the ida nadi is directly connected to the left nostril, and the pingala nadi to the right.  http://www.yogajournal.com/wisdom/927

Right Nostral blocked

Since that strange experience of Solar plexus awakening, I have noticed that my right nostral gets blocked at night. I do nostral breathing to open this up but then the other side shuts up. Why is this happening? Its summer here so weather has nothing to do with this. I am worried about Ida and Pingala nadis that are connected to the nostral breathing.

By the way, my most precious book Awakening the third eye is now available free online. Check out the link http://www.clairvision.org/ckb/ckbe/ckbl/fol_0000_0001/cat_0000_0001/SaganATE.pdf I have added it in my website links on the right hand side of this blog, for future reference.

Maskeen explains the degree of spirituality required

Having the right goal is not sufficient. Maskeen explains that the water naturally flows downstream. To make water become steam and rise upwards, it must be not only heated but heated to a certain degree. In the same way, its not sufficient to have good intentions and do a little bit of meditation. To achieve spiritual powers one must meditate and make efforts of a certain kind and to a certain degree.

Attaining spiritual powers is not the goal of a true Sikh. Maskeen is only trying to explain that the effort must match the level of the goal. Also we must realise that a certain process brings a certain result. In my view, if the goal is to make the body fit, one can surely do yoga but if the goal is to find God then there must be love and there has to be a yearning to see, feel and understand God. Without this yearning breathing in a certain way and sitting in a particular yoga pose is merely a physical exercise.
