Does anyone have experience with Sudarshan Kriya from Art of living? Is it any good?
But sadhguru and ram dev baba were famous in India for yoga and meditation.
Sadhguru speaks in English, if it helps. By the way sadhguru speeches are just awesome.

Sort of anecdotal, but as soon as I started deadlifting I noticed an immediate improvement in standing posture.
If you have enough flexibility to be able to do deadlifts or squats properly, then sure, it helps further. For my part it took months and hurting my back (thankfully not seriously) before I realized my entire posterior chain was basically too tight for me to be able to keep my back firm enough to do especially squats, but deadlifts too to a certain extent, safely at all but the very lightest weights. Deadlifts and sq…
A helper for rhythmic breathing written in CSS. Following this a few minutes is very calming. https://www.vandenoever.info/breathe.html
From a book I read years ago: "a 1987 survey of cardiac arrests at the Menninger Clinic (quoted with great regularity in Rodale Press's various publications) reported that all heart attack victims represented in that survey sample were high chest breathers" As opposed to belly/abodminal breathers. I can't find the actual survey though.
Standing up straight isn't as easy as it sounds. For a lot of desk workers you're going to have to fix your tight hamstrings, abnormal pelvic tilt, and weak abdominal muscles before it will be possible to stand up straight.
I feel like the Wim Hof method ought to be mentioned here. It is imo the fastest and most direct route to understanding what this article is talking about.
Having said that - Wim Hof method is very different from any techniques mentioned in the article and is rather a complementary technology.
I've been experimenting with mouth taping recently. When I'm able to use it effectively it does result in a much more restful sleep and my blood pressure seems to be lower the next day. I believe that the lowered blood pressure is due to the enhanced nitric oxide absorbed (it's produced in the sinuses). Unfortunately I'm frequently congested so it's difficult to do this without the use of a decongestant.

Thanks for posting this. I've experienced something similar. My nasal passages have almost always been swollen since I was 11-12. Most ENTs I'd seen over the last 15-20 years have completely failed to provide me with relief. Earlier in 2018 I visited an ENT who noted that my turbinates were "absolutely massive" and the rest of the nasal passage was swollen. Sometimes the swelling would affect the rest of my airway an…
I’m curious how often these kinds of symptoms are caused by an undiagnosed chronic viral infection.
It comes and goes. The breathe right strips mentioned by another commenter helps. I find it feels more clear the next day after using them.
But i've found the biggest thing that helps is paying attention to.my stress and the way I hold the muscles in my face. I find making a concious effort to takes some time to do some deep breathing and focus on relaxing the muscles around my eyes and my jaw really helps. A few days of keeping up with that and I findy breathing and pain and such go away.
I also find it to.be a good way to gauge my stress levels. When the sinus infection cones back and stays for a bit. I know i've been slacking with being mindful and letting stress get on top of me.

Have you ever lived in or spent extended time in a different climate? I've had many of the same problems and two surgeries. Things were definitely worse in the humid polluted swamp I used to live in...
