Learn the Humming Bee Breath Technique - Bhramari Pranayama | Yoga
Bhramari Pranayama is a yoga breathing practice that involves generating a continuous humming sound while exhaling to induce a calm mental state. The technique utilizes the Shanmukhi mudra hand gesture to isolate the senses, helping the practitioner achieve a state of sensory withdrawal. Sitting cross-legged with an erect spine, the practitioner closes their ears with their thumbs, eyes with their index and middle fingers, and nostrils with their ring fingers. After a deep inhalation, the practitioner exhales through the nose while producing a resonant humming sound. This process is repeated 5 to 10 times to enhance focus and alleviate stress, hypertension, and migraines.
