Bhramari
Sitting
comfortably in any meditative pose, inhale slowly and deeply through both the
nostrils. Then gently plug your ears with the index fingers, close the eyes,
and exhale through both the nostrils producing a long and continuous humming
sound- that of the bee.
This
pranayama gives a sweet clear voice and is highly recommended for singers. It
helps in insomnia, tension, depression, hypertension, heart diseases and
nervous disorders. It makes an impact on the mind producing peace and joy,
which is the ultimate aim of our life. The sound produced during inhaling
resembles that of a big bee and hence the name bhramari.
