The Practice and Essence of Brahmari Prāṇāyāma
Brahmari Prāṇāyāma concerns prāṇa, the vital energy flowing through the nervous system. This energy connects all parts of the body; an issue in one nerve affects the whole. The practice uses sound vibration, which originates from a central point and extends throughout the entire system. This subtle vibration reaches from the soles of the feet upward, balancing and releasing energy within. The technique involves pressing the lips together without clenching the teeth. One must listen inwardly to the sound generated, allowing the breath to flow naturally without force. Concentration is placed on the body's sensations as the internal sound brings clarity and balance to the entire being.
"The vibration reaches the sole of the foot. And this sound, Brahmari, and rising up, has established the other Vajranāḍī Prāṇāyāma."
"One does not need to go outward, but inward into the body."
