Bhramari practising and meditation

Bhramarī Prāṇāyāma is practiced before meditation to create resonance.

The technique moves vibration through the body and chakras, harmonizing the nervous system and concentration. First method: close ears with thumbs, place fingers on temples, keep lips closed and teeth relaxed. Move thumbs rhythmically inward and outward, releasing all tensions for deep peace. Second method: place fingers behind the head where neck meets skull, palms covering ears. Maintain equal pressure on teeth, close lips, and pump palms gently. This opens resonance through the brain, dissolving forehead tension and headaches. Practice three or four times only, then rest. After about fourteen minutes, begin meditation on the resonance. Sit with closed eyes, let the Guru Mantra flow internally. Feel the vibration in the breath, heart, chakras, and spinal column. Finally, rub palms, place them on the face, and open eyes. This practice aids sleep problems and tiredness, but avoid excessive sleep.

"Bhramarī Prāṇāyāma is one of the finest prāṇāyāma techniques. Its vibration travels through the entire body, bringing harmony to our nervous system, knowledge, thinking, and concentration."

"Tensions leave the forehead; even a kind of headache goes away."

Devādhī Dev, Deveśvara Mahādeva Kī Jai, Alakhpurījī Mahādeva Kī Jai, Bhagavān Śrī Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī Kī Jai, Satguru Svāmī Mādhavānandajī Bhagavān Kī Jai, Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī Jai. Good evening, all my dears, brothers, sisters, yoga practitioners, teachers, and everyone in Yoga in Daily Life. Welcome, all of you. Yesterday we had meditation as well as prāṇāyāma. It is best to practice prāṇāyāma first and then meditation. So, first we should practice Bhramarī and then meditation. Bhramarī Prāṇāyāma is one of the finest prāṇāyāma techniques. Its vibration travels through the entire body, bringing harmony to our nervous system, knowledge, thinking, and concentration. It is a very, very, very important prāṇāyāma. Often, people practice only this one technique because it is sufficient on its own. The vibration moves through the kuṇḍalinī or chakras, and this is achieved with the Bhramarī prāṇāyāma. Yesterday we did this practice, closing the ears with the thumbs and placing two fingers near the ears, on the area called the temple. Now we will do this with the lips always closed and the teeth relaxed—not biting. With a rhythmic motion, we move the thumbs slightly inward and outward, inward and outward. It is so beautiful and relaxing; all the tensions of the whole day are released, bringing deep peace, harmony, and relaxation. This is Bhramarī Prāṇāyāma. Then, the other technique was like this: We place our fingers or hands on the back side. The three fingers, with the middle finger still, we touch behind the head at the point between the neck and the head. The palm comes to the ears. Then, slowly, again the lips are closed. It is very important to maintain equal pressure on both sides of the teeth, left and right; otherwise, let the jaw relax, but keep the lips closed. Then we close the ears. This is very nice. First, we shall do that slowly. We are pumping, which opens the resonance through the whole brain. The tensions leave the forehead; even a kind of headache goes away. Like this. But this is just to show you. It should be done in this way, but only opening the palm. And then, simply place it inside and, for three rounds, peacefully go inward. Bhramārī. This is very good for many people who cannot sleep properly. Or, if one is always very tired and wants to sleep more and more, that is also not good—it is a kind of depression. Now we will do it, again with the fingers behind the head and our palms here, and it will continue with just one vibration. Keep the forehead relaxed, and also the pressure between the neck and the head. Beautiful. For those who cannot sleep properly, this will become very relaxing. This is another Bhramarī Prāṇāyāma. And my dears, wherever you are in any other countries, you should write down whatever you can practice. So if you have some problems, or tension, or differences, or headaches, etc., relax. But do not do it for too long. Maximum four times. I prefer always three times, and then relax. Then, after about, let us say, fourteen minutes, proceed to meditation—the meditation of the resonance of the Bhramarī Prāṇāyāma. So go ahead now, just relax and listen to what you have been practicing. Now, not with our ears or outward attention; be within yourself. And it will come beautifully through your heart, breath, the entire chakras, throughout the spinal column, more fully. So go ahead, close your eyes, and let your Guru Mantra flow constantly, feeling it in the brain. Go ahead, please. Proceed, please. Once with the navel: Oṁ. Ah, I learned meditation of your Bhramarī resonance. Śāntiḥ, śāntiḥ… You can open your eyes, rub your palms, put your hands on your face, and open your eyes. Hari Om. This is the Bhramārī resonance, which we brought with the prāṇāyāma, the Bhramārīs, and the mantra and the sound of our meditation. So, all my dears, all practitioners around the world, you should send a message to Swāmījī TV. Thank you. Thank you very much, all. Hari Om. Viśvagurū Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Paramahaṁsa Śrī Svāmī Māheśvarānanda. Jai Gurū Devakī. Jai.
