𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗵𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗶 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗺𝗮 (Humming Bee Breathing) is a breathing that is very beneficial to our body and mind. When we exhale, we make a humming sound of a bee in our throat cartilage.
Benefits:
* Relieves stress, anxiety, hypertension
* Soothes the nerves
* Releases anger & negative emotions
* Promotes better sleep
* Prevents heart blockages
* Prolonged practice helps to cope with migraines & headaches
* Boosts memory & concentration
The Bhramari is recommended to practise 5 to 10 rounds a day. Each Bhramari breath practice, ensure that you hold the humming bee sound in one breath for approximately 15 - 20 seconds.
Contraindications:
- Bhramari should not be practised by pregnant or menstruating women.
- It is not recommended for individuals with extremely high blood pressure, epilepsy, chest pain or having an active ear infection.
- Bhramari should not be practised in a supine position (lying down).
- Good to practise on empty stomach when we wake up in the morning or before bedtime.
How to perform Humming Bee Breath?
1. Begin by sitting in a comfortable position. You can either sit cross-legged on a mat or sit on a chair. Keep the spine straight. Close your eyes and keep your lips and teeth slightly apart.
2. Bring your thumbs to your ears, and gently close theme.
The other fingers will rest on the crown, spread out over it.
3.Breathe in slowly through your nostrils, and then exhale slowly emulating a steady, low-pitched ‘hmmm’ as a humming bee
makes at the back of your throat cartilage.
4. Practice and make the sound as soft, smooth, and steady as you can. When you move deeper, you will be able to feel a vibration of the bee sound resonate through your head and cartilage. Try to keep your body very still, and bring your a
focus to the light at the center of your forehead.
After the practice, listen to your body and your emotions. You will feel a shift in your energy and silence within. Take your attention to the parts where you can sense a tingle like your cartilage. Sit silently and quiet your mind for 5 - 10 minutes. 🙏
