Bhramari Pranayama/ Bumble Bee Breath
Channel: Meighlin Yoga
Date: 2020-05-17

Bhramari Pranayama is also known as Bumble Bee Breath, and you'll know immediately why once you practice it. The humming sound created by 'Om', with your mouth close, sounds very similar to the sound of bees as they fly from flower to flower. 

This pranayama can be done in three different ways, as shown and described in the video. It is best practiced on an empty stomach and preferably in the early morning. It soothes your nervous system. You'll notice how your mind begins to quiet and calm, relieving stress and anxiety. It also lowers blood pressure and dissipates anger. 

Feel the vibration of sound in your body. 

Sound affects movement of water, and considering  we are composed of water, approximately 70% in adulthood, it makes sense that the sound you create will shift the energy patterns in your body, and your mind.

"Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body with your thoughts. Whenever your mind becomes scattered, use your breath as the means to take hold of your mind again." -Thich Nhat Hanh

Benefits of Breathwork for Physical Health

Breathwork has a wide range of benefits for physical health. Here are some of the ways breathwork can improve your well-being:

Stress reduction: Deep breathing activates the relaxation response, helping to reduce stress levels and promote a sense of calm and relaxation.

Improved respiratory function: Breathwork exercises can strengthen the respiratory muscles, increase lung capacity, and improve overall respiratory function.

Enhanced immune function: Deep breathing stimulates the vagus nerve, which plays a key role in regulating the immune system. By activating the vagus nerve, breathwork can boost immune function and support overall health.

Increased energy levels: Breathwork techniques that focus on deep, conscious breathing can help increase oxygenation and improve energy levels.

Pain management: Breathwork is effective in managing chronic pain conditions, such as fibromyalgia and migraine headaches.

These are just a few examples of how breathwork can benefit your physical health. By incorporating breathwork into your daily routine, you can experience improved overall well-being and vitality.

"Physical and emotional states can be altered by changing the breathing pattern." - Wilhem Reich

In addition to its physical benefits, breathwork can also have a profound impact on mental and emotional well-being. Here are some of the ways breathwork can improve your mental health:

Stress and anxiety reduction: Deep breathing activates the relaxation response, helping to reduce stress and anxiety levels. It can also help calm the mind and promote a sense of inner peace.
Improved focus and concentration: Breathwork techniques that involve breath retention and visualization can enhance focus and concentration.

Emotional release: Breathwork can help release trapped emotions and facilitate emotional healing. By bringing awareness to our breath, we can access and process unresolved emotions, leading to greater emotional well-being.

Enhanced self-awareness: Breathwork is a powerful tool for self-exploration and self-discovery. By connecting with our breath, we can deepen our understanding of ourselves and cultivate greater self-awareness.

Improved mood and emotional resilience: Breathwork can help regulate emotions and promote a more positive outlook on life. It can also enhance emotional resilience, helping us navigate life's challenges with greater ease.

By incorporating breathwork into your daily routine, you can experience improved mental and emotional well-being, greater self-awareness, and a more balanced and resilient mindset.
