Modern women often dismiss this question as silly with a matter of fact answer, “Oh it is just personal preference and nothing much”. My take is there is lot more than these ladies have learnt so far. Each nostril is identified with different and sometimes opposing cosmic flow. Here is a gist of my argument:
Mothers and elders of family contemplate on the ritual of nose piercing, and decide as to which nostril is to be pierced after taking into account of the features, personality and inner qualities of a girl who has come of age. The word cosmics is used collectively to refer to these. Age old wisdom of these elders remains un-written. Today, thanks to the use of Internet, we realize that, there is lot more meaning in this customary discussion. Convincingly, each nostril functions in different state and equally convincing is the fact that, breathing alternates between right and left nostrils of every person. Let me explain you the cosmics surrounding each side of the nostril:
Left Nostril
This airway generally processes feminine energy except during the brief moment of change over when breathing alternates from one nostril to another. It is similar to what we notice in offices where main supply of electricity is alternated with power from generators. The kind of air flow via left nostril is named as “Ida” by Hindu Yogis Millenniums ago. The word means comfort in Sanskrit. It denotes the Goddess Shakti who is fondly called as “Adi Parasakthi”. Cooling, lunar energy flowing through left nostril reaches the right side of the brain that deals in emotions, feelings, sensitivity, femininity, being introvert and more than that, bring reproductive. Piercing left nostril is useful for menstrual process, child bearing, and child birth and so on. My feeling is that majority of caesarean births occur in women who have not got their left nostril pricked or for that matter any nostril pricked at all. I have no published statistics to prove, though.
Right Nostril
Through this airway, male energy is processed to reach the left side of the brain dealing with rationality, objectivity, reasoning, masculine, being extrovert as well as the ability to take charge and control. Hindu Rishis called it as “Pingala” meaning tawny in Sanskrit. Warm, solar energy flowing through right nostril is all about handling vital activities connected with living. Marriage, relationship, home economics, social conduct are few of the aspects nurtured by the right nostril.
Choice
The question which nostril is to be pierced must be answered only after assessing the person whose nose is to be pierced. It may be left, right or in some instances both nostrils. Matters to be considered include, but not limited to, individual circumstances, wants & wishes, strengths & weaknesses, stature & personality, manners & appearance and finally inner qualities of the person. Once an apt nostril is selected, it is necessary to find out the kind of gem & jewellery that goes along with a person. That parachutes us on the type of wear such as pins, studs, hooks or plugs that need to be settled.
Next in importance is to determine the type of metal together with suitable alloy to make this piece, truly an article of cosmic jewellery. Now that we have the type of wear, metal and alloy it is time to complete the story by deciding between making this jewellery a plainer one or something decked in cosmic gems. Gems & crystals do play a major role in galvanizing cosmic energy in addition to enhancing aesthetics. If the choice is, say, use diamond as cosmic gem , then we also need to examine whether a solitaire would do or a round brilliant with few accent stones fit in. For all these matters, of course, you need professional counsel.
