Bhramari practising and meditation

Brahmārī prāṇāyāma creates resonance for harmonizing the nervous system. This vibration improves thinking, feeling, and concentration, serving as a primary technique for many. It releases daily tensions, bringing peaceful harmony and relaxation. The practice involves specific hand placements, with lips closed and jaw released. One method uses thumbs to close the ears; another places palms over ears with fingers at the skull's base. Gentle rhythmic motion opens resonance through the brain, benefiting the forehead and relieving headaches. It aids those with sleep issues, promoting deep relaxation. Practice for a maximum of four rounds, ideally three times, followed by meditation to carry the resonance inward. Focus within, allowing the vibration to flow through the heart and chakras.

"Prāṇāyāma and Brahmārī vibrate the entire nervous system, and thanks to this resonance, our thinking and feeling improve."

"This opens the resonance through the whole brain, and it comes beautifully to the forehead."

Devadhī Deva, Deveśvara Mahādeva kī jai, Alakpurī jī Mahādeva kī jai, Bhagavān Śrī Dīpa Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhū jī kī jai, Satguru Svāmī Mahādvānā jī Bhagavān kī jai, Satya Sanātana Dharma kī jai. Good evening, all my dears, brothers, sisters, yoga practitioners, teachers, and members of Yoga in Daily Life. Welcome to all of you. Yesterday we practiced meditation as well as Brahmārī prāṇāyāma. The sequence should be first Brahmārī and then meditation. Brahmārī prāṇāyāma is one of the best prāṇāyāmas. It creates a vibration throughout the whole body, and this vibration works to harmonize all the nerve systems. It is very important for our meditation, knowledge, thinking, and concentration. Prāṇāyāma and Brahmārī vibrate the entire nervous system, and thanks to this resonance, our thinking and feeling improve. For many people, Brahmārī prāṇāyāma is the primary technique they practice, as it is sufficient. However, when one goes very deep into meditation or begins to attain physical and mental health, the vibration also moves through the kuṇḍalinī and the chakras, which is also connected to Brahmārī prāṇāyāma. Yesterday we practiced one method, closing the ears with the thumbs and placing two fingers near the temples. Today we will practice with the lips always closed and the teeth released, not clenched. Move the thumbs rhythmically, gently pressing in and out. This is beautiful and relaxing. It releases all the tensions of the day, bringing peaceful harmony and relaxation. This is Bhrāmarī prāṇāyāma. The other method is as follows. Place your hands so that the three middle fingers touch the back of the head, at the point where the neck meets the skull. The palms then cover the ears. Again, keep the lips closed. You may have the teeth together, but it is very important to have equal pressure on both the left and right sides. Otherwise, simply release the jaw, but keep the lips closed. Today, practice this: place your fingertips on the back of your head—it is very nice and pleasant—and then close your ears. First, do this slowly, using a pumping motion. This opens the resonance through the whole brain, and it comes beautifully to the forehead. Your fingers are at the back of the ears, but the tension releases from the forehead, alleviating any kind of headache. The motion is like this, but it should be gentle, simply opening the palms slightly and then pressing in softly. Do this constantly, just three times, moving peacefully. This is very good for many people who cannot sleep properly, or for those who are always very tired and want to sleep more and more—which is also not good, as it can be a kind of depression. Now we will do it again: fingers behind the head, palms covering the ears, creating a single, open vibration. This benefits the forehead and also relieves pressure between the neck and head. It is beautiful. For those who cannot sleep properly, this brings very good relaxation. This is another form of Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma. My dears, wherever you are in other countries, you should write down what you can practice. For those learning well and enjoying it, please continue. This is a form of research. If you have problems, tensions, or different issues like headaches, this practice helps with relaxation. But do not do it for too long—a maximum of four rounds. I always prefer three times, then relax, and then do it again. Afterwards, proceed to about 14 minutes of meditation, which will carry the resonance of the Brahmārī prāṇāyāma. Now, go ahead. Just relax and listen inwardly to what you have been practicing. Do not focus on the ears or external sounds. Be within thyself. The resonance will come beautifully through your heart. Breathe through the whole chakras along the spinal column; it will come more easily. So, go ahead. Close your eyes, let your guru mantra flow constantly, and feel it in the brain. If you have tension or do not like this sound, then bring your thoughts into your heart, but not outside. Please, go ahead. OṂ. Once from the navel, OṂ. I learned meditation through your Brahmārī resonance—the vibration of the flute. Brahmārī is very unified. So if you are unsure of your practice, let the Brahmārī merge with the flute, and the flute will guide you. For some minutes, I will not give instructions, but I am with you. Three times. You may open your eyes. Rub your palms. Hari Om. This is the Brahmārī resonance we brought through Prāṇāyāma—Brahmārī, the mantra, and the sound of our meditation. So, all my dears, all practitioners around the world, you should send your messages to Swāmījī TV. Thank you. Thank you very much, all. Hari Om.
