Bhramari

                                                              Bhramari
Definition The word Bhramari is derived from Bhramara which means a black bee. While practising this Pranayama, the sound produced through the nostrils resembles the buzzing of a black bee.

Technique :
Sit in the position of Padmasana or Siddh¬asana. Inhale and exhale quickly through the nostrils. Practise this till the body perspires. Then inhale deeply through the nostrils and hold the breath for as much time as possible. Then exhale through the nostrils. In the beginning, quick breathing stimulates blood circulation and heat of the body increases, but, in the end it is cooled down on account of perspiration and the joy experienced at this juncture is indescribable.
