Brahmari means Bumble bee. In this breathing practice your lips are supposed to be shut, and you are supposed to gently and smoothly make a sound like a humming bee in your throat. This simple practice is very helpful in making the breath smooth and quieting the mind.
You can feel the sound vibrations in your throat, jaws, and face. This practice is so simple and straightforward, it can be done by anyone, regardless of age or background.
It’s a kind of breathing exercise that develops powers of concentration memory and confidence. The extended, buzzing exhalation makes it very beneficial for pregnant women, in preparation for labor. Brahmari is sometimes known as humming breath and also renders a sweet clear voice to the practitioner. Hence it is highly recommended for singers.
Techniques of Brahmari
It is best done for 2-3 minutes.
Brahmari pranayama procedure
Partially close your glottis as you inhale through both nostrils, making a snoring sound
Now exhale little by little, emitting a sound like a humming bee.
Humming as you exhale allows you to spin out your breath and make a longer exhalation.
Repeat the practice 5 - 10 times. Source
