Swara yoga is about the effect of nasal breathing on our body and mind through right nostril, (Pingala Nadi) left nostril, Ida Nadi) both nostril (Shushumna Nadi). The different pattern and nature of breath indicates the active elements (Panch Mahabhutas ie. Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether) in our psychic body . In Swara yoga, practices are connected with the flow of nadi in a systematic pattern with moon phases, Sun and other planets. Elements are connected with different planets in different nasal flow. When a planet affect earth's gravitational field and electromagnetic field they will alter human energy patterns in the psychic body on feedback basis. This can be experienced as change in the flow of our breath. Swara yoga identifies this as different elements. In order to balance and harmonize these subtle forces, Swara yoga gives the easy and effective tool - The time and cycle of breath. The cycle of breath is based the luner tithis (Moon's position at different times).
Tithi is
considered as the first phase
or portion (Kala)
of the 16 phases of
the Moon. The 15 days, commencing
from Amavasya (the last day of the
dark half of a lunar month) to
Purnima (Full moon), are called
the Tithis of
the Shukla-Paksha or Waxing Moon
(brighter phase) when moon becomes fuller and the days
commencing from Purnima to
Amavasya are called Krishna Paksha
waning Moon (darker phase) when
moon becomes darker.
In Indian Astrology, the
calculation of the Tithis starts
from Pratipada (The first day in
each half of the lunar month) of
the Shukla-Paksha. They are:
-
1. Pratipada.
-
2. Dwitiya.
-
3. Tritiya.
-
4. Chaturthi.
-
5. Panchami.
-
6. Shashthi.
-
7. Saptami.
-
8. Ashtami.
-
9. Navami.
-
10. Dashami.
-
11. Ekadasi.
-
12. Dwadashi.
-
13. Trayodashi.
-
14. Chaturdashi.
-
15. Purnima / 30. Amawasya.
Similarly,
in the Krishna-Paksha, starting
from Pratipada till Chaturdashi,
all the dates are same; the only
difference being the fifteenth day
which is Amavasya (No Moon or
Moonless night)

Swara days chart is a fixed chart that show the nostril dominance on particular phases of the moon known as tithis. Every day there will be a tithi and according to that you have to change the flow of your breath. For ex. 5th October 04 the tithi was saptami and during sunrise right nostril is (Pingala swara) recommended in chart for flow and the same day left nostril (Ida swara) should flow during sun-set. For Indian panchanga calculation according to date click here and for sunrise and sunset click here any where in the world. When you will calculate the tithi other things of panchanga will come because panchanga means five angas of indian lunar calendar.For swara yoga sadhana (practices) first three are required ie. weekdays, tithi and naxhatra. But for beginners first one month they should observe the breath to know the pattern and imbalances. And form next month they should start manipulation or change in the flow of breath according to dates. How to change the breath form one nostril to other nostril click here.

Benefits
of Swara rhythms
In the 1970’s science coined the word ‘chronopsychology’ for the 24 hour cycle. Chronopsychologists found that during the 24 hour cycle certain events and one’s mental, emotional and physical abilities have a ‘best’ or ‘most favorable’ time of day. Swara yoga says the same, and further specifies the times when tasks are either auspicious or inauspicious.
Swara
yogi knows that during the flow of
left nostril or right nostril when
favorable elements rises certain
things can be undertaken if you
want to be successful.
Scientists
have postulated that external
forces set the biological clock by
stimulating the pineal gland,
which is affected by dark/light
cycles.
These rhythms which were
previously known to the ancient
Rishis, so man is actually only
rediscovering himself in relation
to the cosmos. By the practice of
Swara yoga one can become
the master of the nadis and
elements, so as to adjust himself
with the universal forces
which is the source of everything
that gives birth to the experience
of both
material and spiritual life
with heightened awareness.
By
properly practicing Swara yoga,
directly under an adept one can
definitely achieve success in all
spheres of lives.
