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."
