The adjective “Bhramari” can be translated from Sanskrit as “sweet as honey” or “that which produces ecstasy.” This powerful pranayama practice, often associated with the sound of a bee’s hum, evokes feelings of calm and inner joy.
Bhramari pranayama has an immediate relaxing effect on the brain. When practiced consistently, even for just a few minutes daily, it can help reduce mental tension, lower high blood pressure, and bring a sense of tranquility to the mind.
As the Hatha Yoga Pradipika states, “With regular practice of this pranayama, bliss arises in the yogi’s heart.” This practice cultivates a deep sense of inner peace and harmony, enhancing overall well-being.
