Day 10 we practice the brhamari or bumble bee breath practice this is one of my favorites as by closing off our ears and humming out on our exhale we create a vibration in our head. This practice is very calming and soothing.

Welcome, Welcome everyone. Congratulations for making it to day 10 of learning to breathe with Carrie Joy from Sagewood Wellness. So day 10 is probably one of my absolute favorite pranayama practices. This practice is called brahmari breath. Brahmari breath is also known as bumblebee breath. So when we're practicing brahmari breathing, We are taking our hands and we are closing off our ears as we inhale nice and deep and then we hum out. This is what it'll sound like when we're practicing. So I'm closing off my ears, Taking a nice big breath in. Ah, That feels so beautiful. So what this does is it creates a vibration in between our ears. So when we're humming, We are actually closed off enough that the vibration stays within our skull. And what this does with this vibration is it actually moves everything enough that you can come out of a state of anxiety, Extreme stress. You can calm your nervous system down by using brahmari breathing. It helps to kick in our parasympathetic nervous system instead of being in our sympathetic nervous system. So now we're gonna practice. Let's come into a nice comfortable seat. We're gonna bring ourself into practice with our breath, Taking a couple rounds, Centering on our inhale. Let's bring our hands up to our ears, Cupping around our ears. You can even press your palms in. We're taking a nice deep inhale and hum out. Again, Nice deep inhale in. Again, Nice deep inhale in and hum out. Inhale and hum. Inhale and hum. Last one. Inhale and hum. From here, Let's release our hands and come back into just some breathing. Notice what you're feeling here. So in this practice, You notice that vibration. If you want to keep going, Feel free to do so. There is never any pressure to not practice more. The more practice, The better. So this is my favorite breath work. This is one that I really connected with when I took my breath work practitioner training as it was the one thing that could stop the thoughts. So I really hope you enjoyed this practice. Let's start to come back into our body by moving our fingers and our toes, Feeling the temperature of the air on our skin, And inducing move and sorry not inducing movement, But opening our eyes. We're coming back into the room fully. Again, Congratulations on completing the training. Feel free to come back to this as many times as you want. It'll always be available and I'm so grateful for you. Have a wonderful day. Thank you so so much.
