5 Minute Bhramari Breath (Humming Bee)

Bhramari Breath (humming bee) - Stimulates the vagus nerve, regulates the nervous system, brings you into your parasympathetic nervous system, and decreases stress. This is a fantastic tool to practice coming back to a calm and regulated state, quickly. It is important to hum on the exhale, with your mouth closed. It's a great way to practice lengthening your exhalation and is best practiced in a private space.

Hi,

Today we're going to practice the Brahmati breath,

Otherwise known as the humming bee breath.

It's a really beautiful form of pranayama or breath work that stimulates the vagus nerve,

And it's a really good way to bring you back into your parasympathetic nervous state.

I find it very helpful when I am stressed,

When I'm driving,

To bring myself back into a calm and regulated state quickly.

So just take a moment here to find your comfortable seat however it is that you are seated right now,

And arrive in the space.

And so together we will do five Brahmati breaths,

Starting with a cleansing breath.

So take a deep inhale all the way to your belly and exhale with a sigh.

On your first inhale breathe in all the way,

I'll tell you when,

And as we exhale we're simply going to hum.

Take a deep breath into your belly and follow my lead as we exhale.

Pause,

Deep breath in.

Pause,

Deep breath in.

Pause,

Deep breath in.

Pause,

Last round inhale.

Pause and return to your habitual breath.

And just stay here for a moment,

Observing any shifts in your heart rate,

In your palms.

Is there any less tension in your body?

And whatever is coming up for you right now,

Do you feel safe to welcome it and give it space?

Observe.

And if it's okay let's just stay here for a moment.

And whenever you're ready,

Opening your eyes,

And stepping back into the world that awaits you.

Thank you,

Have a fantastic day.

Perfect. Do calming 🥰 thanks!

Surprised how much better I felt after doing this practice.

Nice, but not bhramari pranayama. More like regular humming.
Thank you 🙏
