Brahmari Pranayama

  1. Sit in a comfortable position with your spine erect.
  2. Inhale through both the nostrils slowly and deeply.
  3. Press right nostril with the right thumb and retain the breath for a while.
  4. Exhale through both the nostrils concentrating at the throat area and producing a humming sound. The sound will resemble the buzzing of a bee. The exhalation should be slower than the inhalation.
  5. Repeat for at least 9 times.

Practicing this pranayama helps in improving the clarity of your speech, boosts the brain functioning, calms the mind, relieves from depression and is useful for hypertension.
