Bee Breathing Technique | The Secret Behind Bhramari Pranayama To Achieve Superhuman Capabilities
youtube
In this video, we will explore the practice of Bhramari Pranayama, also known as the Bee Breathing Technique. Get ready to discover a hidden secret that will enhance the intensity of your bee breathing practice and help you achieve superhuman capabilities.
To begin, find a comfortable seated position and take 3 to 5 slow and deep breaths to settle into a relaxed state. When you feel ready, exhale completely and then take a deep inhalation. Pause for 2 to 3 seconds and exhale through your nose, creating a humming sound similar to that of a bee.
During Bhramari Pranayama, aim to make your humming sound long and comfortable. While not mandatory, a general guideline is to make your exhale or humming sound more than twice as long as your inhale. For example, if your inhale duration is 6 seconds, try to make your humming sound last for at least 12 seconds during the exhale.
By humming like a bee, you create a vibration throughout your skull. This vibration originates from your throat, similar to the technique used in Ujjayi Pranayama.
The benefits of practicing this bee breathing technique are numerous, including stress and anxiety relief, improved sleep, and enhanced focus. Mental health professionals often recommend regular practice of Bhramari to their patients.
However, the main benefit stems from the increased production of nitric oxide due to the vibration created in the nasal cavity during the humming. Nitric oxide is known to improve heart health, regulate blood pressure, enhance exercise performance, boost immunity, and even improve intimacy performance, particularly in men.
If Bhramari Pranayama is the sole pranayama practice in your session, you can practice it for about 5 minutes. If you combine Bhramari with other pranayama practices like Nadi Shodhana, you can perform 8 to 10 breaths of Bhramari Pranayama in one session.
Now, here's a secret behind Bhramari. For a more intense experience, imagine that you are exhaling the air out through your third eye region. Regularly practicing this visualization during the exhale will intensify the sensation in the third eye region, creating a sense of peace and calm in both your body and mind. It will also lay a foundation for future third eye practices as you delve deeper into your pranayama journey.
Join us in this transformative practice of Bhramari Pranayama and unlock your potential for superhuman capabilities. Don't miss out on the incredible benefits and the hidden secret that awaits you. Hit the play button now and let's begin this extraordinary journey together!

Toutes les techniques de maîtrise du souffle
Si vous avez déjà participé à un cours de yoga, vous avez sans doute déjà été initié au contrôle du souffle, aussi appelé Pranayama. Mais qu’est-ce que cela veut dire exactement ?

My Upcoming Research Study: The Effects of Yogic Breathing on Chronic Sinus Symptoms
This week I have been putting together a presentation that I will be giving about my new research project. It's a study of a yogic breathing technique called Bhramari Pranayama as an adjunctive treatment for people with chronic nose and sinus issues.
Essentially the premise is this:
Our sinuses produce nitric oxide, which then in turn effects our nasal airway and our lungs. The nitric oxide can improve nasal airflow, up-regulate mucociliary clearance, and enhance anti-viral immune activity. Additionally, humming actually temporarily increases the amount of nasal nitric oxide released by about 15 fold. Therefore my study is intended to examine the effects of this pranayama technique that utilizes humming on patients with chronic nose and sinus symptoms.
Typically for patients with these symptoms, we start them out on a steroid nasal spray (flonase) as well as sinus irrigations (something like a neti pot).
I always hear from people outside the medical field about how no one studies these things--non-pharmacologic interventions, the beneficial effects of non-proprietary supplements, or other alternative medical options. People often think that if big pharma (or someone expecting to profit) isn't paying for a study, it cannot happen.
This really isn't true likely 90-99% of the time. The problem isn't funding. I'm conducting a prospective randomized control study with human subjects in order to evaluate the benefits of yogic breathing for patients--something that if found to be helpful will bring in no additional monetary profit for anyone. How much will my study cost? $0.
But do you know what it did require?
Two things: interest and opportunity.
Firstly I, a resident physician, had an idea. I learned about nasal nitric oxide and thought it was cool. I read about how humming has a bolusing effect by transiently increasing nitric oxide output by 15x. And then I recalled that there are pranayama techniques that utilize humming.
With my interest piqued, I spoke with one of my bosses, an attending physician at an academic medical center. He's the head of our Rhinology and Skull Base Neurosurgery division and he is cool as hell. He's all about healthy lifestyle and benefiting patients as much as possible. He loved the idea immediately.
And lastly we roped in a medical student. Med students are very helpful with doing the grunt work of collecting the data into spreadsheets, running the statistical analyses and such. Sometimes they bring some excellent ideas of their own as well. In return for their work, med students are often given a significant portion credit upon publication of the study and this allows them the opportunity to add some scholarly publications to their CV. I don't really need more publications under my name, but they do.
My point with sharing all of this is that people often claim there are health benefits to doing or imbibing certain things but that they'll never be studied because there's no money to be made. And it may be true that private companies such as those in the pharmaceutical industry may not have such interest; their existence in a capitalistic economy relies on profitability. But this is part of why academic institutions are so important--because learning and discovery is part of the essential mission there. Profit doesn't dictate their avenues of research.
When it comes to the study and validation of alternative/complimentary medicine, the focus really needs to be on raising awareness and interest. Talk to your doctors, nurses, physician assistants, etc. The good ones listen. The younger they are, the more likely they are to be open-minded about it too (the older ones are hit or miss--some are so cool and some are very old school).
Just some errant thoughts this week as I work on my slide deck.

Yoga For Stress Relief - Poses & Pranayama Techniques
Yoga continues to occupy an important part of holistic wellness. One of the ancient healing practices is believed to aid in physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Those who develop a regular yoga practice, often boast stronger immunity and reduced stress. Along with the asanas physical poses, and breathing techniques, meditation is also considered worth doing. You will be able to learn the practices listed above as a part of the 200-hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh.
Most yoga enthusiasts and professionals boast of reduced stress and anxiety. Such individuals are relaxed, in the face of hurdles and opposition. Yoga is a healing modality that affects the nervous system and also helps release physical knots. You will also feel your emotions and tensions being in control if you engage in yoga continuously. It mainly helps in releasing endorphins or happiness hormones. Yoga also teaches one to live in the present moment.
So, now you know how yoga can reduce stress in your life. However, that is not all, as you need to know what practices you must perform as a part of a yogic lifestyle.
Yoga Poses For Stress Relief
There are a few yoga asanas, which you can practice to reduce stress and tension. You should read about them here.
Cat-Cow Pose or Marjaryasana/ Bitilasana
This is an asana or pose, which allows you to connect your breath and the movements. You have to sink your abdomen and lift it simultaneously, in the course of practice.
Child Pose or Balasana
This is another asana, which anyone can practice. You can focus inward and also get your lost energy back if you practice this asana regularly.
Viparita Karani Asana
This is a legs-up-on-the-wall pose, which provides deep relaxation. The asana practice also helps in boosting the flow of lymph and blood circulation, as a result.
Corpse Pose
Also called Savasana, this is a deeply relaxing pose, which you can do after a strenuous yoga session. In this pose, you need to focus on breathing, to allow the body to enter the resting phase.
Pranayama for Stress Relief
Pranayama or breathing techniques are considered the most important practice and are known to alleviate stress and tension. You will learn about such techniques in detail in the yoga school in Rishikesh. Breathing techniques can help improve your sleep quality and also encourage awareness. Some of the most popular Pranayamas are given below.
Nadi Shodhana –You can do this as a part of yoga or meditation. This practice also helps in quieting your mind. You can practice two types of alternate breathing, one in which you have to retain your breath, and one in which you do not have to retain breath. The former is called Nadi Shodhana. This is one of the best practices, which reduces anxiety. Additionally, it also promotes overall well-being.
Kapalbhati – In this form of Pranayama, the inhalations are passive, whereas the exhalations are more active. This style of forced exhalation helps in reducing stress and also boosts brain function. It also improves digestive power.
Bhastrika – You can increase the oxygen levels in your body, by practicing Bhastrika Pranayama. It is the process of fast inhalation and fast exhalation. You can do it, whenever your body needs energy.
Bhramari - Also called Humming Bee breath, it is a calming Pranayama. During exhalation, practitioners make a humming noise. It resembles the sound of a bee. Anyone of any age group or gender can practice Bhramari.
Ujjayi - It is a breathing technique, which helps in calming the brain. It is also called Ocean breath. It is a soft whispering breath, in which the sound of the wind can be heard.
Meditation as a Part of Yoga
Meditation is an important part of yogic practices, which can elevate your experience. It is one of the easiest ways to increase your focus and stay in the present moment. You can learn various mantras like ‘Om’ and ‘Gayatri Mantra’, to help create an impactful experience.
Guided Meditation is a form of meditation, in which the teachers will guide you through the journey, with words. Having an experienced teacher enhances the experience.
You can also engage in Silent Meditation, in which you do not require any external tools. Always aim at learning such divine practices, under expert guidance.
Conclusion
Thus you can very well understand that yoga plays a huge role in releasing negativity. One will be able to become more aware, and also practice detachment. Negative thoughts will stop affecting you, as a result. Yoga can help in reducing cortisol levels, and can also give relief from Asthma and allergies. It can also contribute towards your spiritual growth. Yoga has multiple benefits, so you must start it now to get the above benefits.

The Benefits of Yoga to Get Pregnant: A Holistic Approach to Enhancing Fertility
In this article, we explore the benefits of yoga for those trying to conceive, specific poses to support fertility, and tips for integrating yoga into your daily routine. How Yoga Enhances Fertility
Yoga to get pregnant is not a direct solution for infertility, but it plays a supportive role in creating an optimal environment for conception. Here’s how yoga contributes to enhancing fertility:
Reduces Stress Levels Stress can significantly impact fertility by disrupting hormonal balance and ovulation cycles. Yoga’s relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing and meditation, help lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone), creating a calm state of mind conducive to conception.
Improves Blood Circulation Yoga poses that target the pelvic region improve blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, ensuring these organs receive sufficient oxygen and nutrients. This can enhance their function and increase the chances of conception.
Balances Hormones Hormonal imbalances can cause irregular menstrual cycles, ovulation issues, and other fertility challenges. Yoga helps regulate the endocrine system, supporting the production of hormones required for conception.
Supports Detoxification Twisting poses in yoga stimulate the body’s detoxification processes, helping eliminate toxins that may negatively impact fertility.
Promotes Physical Health Yoga strengthens the core, pelvic floor, and lower abdomen, supporting reproductive health. It also enhances flexibility, posture, and overall fitness, preparing the body for pregnancy.
Boosts Emotional Well-being Infertility challenges can take an emotional toll. Yoga’s mindful practices encourage positivity, reduce anxiety, and build resilience, making the fertility journey less stressful.
Enhances Connection with the Body Yoga fosters mindfulness, encouraging you to tune into your body’s needs and signals. This can help you identify stressors or lifestyle habits that may affect fertility.
Yoga Poses to Support Fertility
Certain yoga poses are particularly beneficial for enhancing fertility. These poses focus on stimulating the reproductive organs, improving blood flow, and reducing tension in the body:
Butterfly Pose (Baddha Konasana) This pose opens the hips and improves blood flow to the pelvic area, supporting reproductive health. It also relaxes the inner thighs and relieves tension in the lower body.
Legs-Up-The-Wall Pose (Viparita Karani) This restorative pose enhances blood circulation to the pelvic region and calms the nervous system, promoting relaxation and hormonal balance.
Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana) The bridge pose strengthens the pelvic floor and improves circulation to the uterus and ovaries. It also helps relieve stress stored in the lower back.
Child’s Pose (Balasana) A deeply restorative pose, Child’s Pose relaxes the lower back, hips, and pelvis while calming the mind and reducing stress.
Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana) This gentle backbend stimulates the lower abdomen, improving blood flow to the reproductive organs. It also strengthens the back and reduces fatigue.
Seated Forward Bend (Paschimottanasana) This pose stretches the lower back and pelvis, increasing flexibility and blood flow. It is believed to help balance hormones and stimulate the reproductive system.
Cat-Cow Pose (Marjaryasana-Bitilasana) This dynamic pose improves spinal alignment and circulation, releasing tension in the lower back and abdomen. It also helps prepare the body for conception.
The Role of Breathing and Meditation in Fertility Yoga
In addition to physical poses, yoga includes pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation, which are essential for managing stress and enhancing fertility:
Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing) This breathing technique calms the mind, reduces anxiety, and balances energy flow in the body.
Bhramari (Bee Breath) Bhramari helps relieve mental fatigue and fosters a sense of relaxation, which is vital for hormonal balance.
Mindful Meditation Meditation reduces overthinking and emotional stress, helping couples stay positive and hopeful during their fertility journey.
When to Practice Yoga for Fertility
Yoga can be practiced at any stage of the fertility journey. Whether you’re preparing to conceive naturally or undergoing medical treatments, yoga provides physical and emotional support.
However, it’s crucial to avoid poses that exert pressure on the abdomen or are too strenuous. Consult a certified yoga instructor specializing in fertility yoga for a safe and effective practice tailored to your needs.
Tips for Incorporating Yoga into Your Routine
Create a Consistent Practice Dedicate 20–30 minutes daily to fertility yoga for maximum benefits. Consistency is key to achieving physical and emotional balance.
Choose the Right Environment Practice yoga in a quiet, comfortable space where you can focus without distractions.
Pair Yoga with a Healthy Lifestyle Complement yoga with a nutritious diet, regular hydration, and adequate sleep to support overall fertility.
Listen to Your Body Avoid overexertion and honor your body’s limits. The goal is to promote relaxation and well-being, not to strain yourself.
Seek Professional Guidance Consider joining a fertility yoga class or working with an experienced instructor to learn proper techniques and sequences.
Additional Lifestyle Changes to Boost Fertility
Eat a Balanced Diet: Include foods rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals to support reproductive health.
Stay Active: Engage in light exercises like walking or swimming alongside yoga for overall wellness.
Avoid Harmful Habits: Limit alcohol, caffeine, and tobacco consumption, as these can negatively affect fertility.
Manage Stress: Combine yoga with other stress-relief practices like journaling or mindfulness.
Conclusion
Yoga is a powerful, natural tool for enhancing fertility. By addressing physical, emotional, and hormonal aspects of health, yoga creates a nurturing environment for conception. Its calming effects, combined with targeted poses and breathing techniques, make it a valuable practice for couples trying to conceive.
While yoga is not a substitute for medical intervention, it complements treatments and improves overall well-being, making the fertility journey more manageable. Whether you’re new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, incorporating fertility-focused practices can be a transformative step towards parenthood.

Migraine Ayurvedic Treatment in Kerala - A Holistic Path to Relief
Migraines are a common yet debilitating neurological condition characterized by intense, recurring headaches. Often accompanied by symptoms like nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and even visual disturbances, migraines disrupt daily life for millions worldwide. Kerala, the hub of authentic Ayurvedic healing, offers a unique approach to managing migraines, blending ancient wisdom with personalized care.
Understanding Migraines
A migraine is more than just a headache; it is a neurological condition caused by abnormal brain activity that affects nerve signals, chemicals, and blood flow. The symptoms and triggers vary, making it a complex condition.
Common Triggers
Hormonal Changes: Menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause.
Emotional Stress: Anxiety, depression, or worry.
Physical Causes: Fatigue, poor posture, or overexertion.
Dietary Factors: Alcohol, caffeine, and irregular meals.
Environmental Triggers: Bright lights, loud noises, or weather changes.
Ayurvedic Perspective on Migraines
In Ayurveda, migraines are compared to Ardhavabhedaka, meaning severe pain affecting one side of the head. The condition is primarily linked to imbalances in the three doshas:
Vata: Causes nervous system disturbances.
Pitta: Associated with heat, inflammation, and intensity.
Kapha: Can lead to heaviness and sluggishness.
These imbalances are often triggered by poor digestion, stress, and lifestyle habits.
Types of Migraines
Migraine Without Aura: Common migraines marked by pulsating headaches and nausea.
Migraine With Aura: Includes visual disturbances or sensory changes before the headache begins.
Chronic Migraine: Frequent migraines (15+ days per month for over three months).
Abdominal Migraine: Stomach pain, often seen in children.
Acephalgic Migraine: Silent migraines without a headache but with visual or sensory symptoms.
Retinal Migraine: Temporary blindness or visual changes in one eye.
Status Migrainosus: Severe migraine lasting over 72 hours.
Ayurvedic Treatments for Migraine in Kerala
1. Panchakarma Detoxification
Panchakarma, a key Ayurvedic therapy, eliminates toxins (Ama) from the body to restore balance. Treatments like Nasya (nasal therapy) are particularly effective in clearing blockages and calming aggravated doshas.
2. Herbal Remedies
Brahmi: Calms the mind and reduces stress.
Ashwagandha: Enhances resilience to triggers.
Shankhpushpi: Soothes headaches and improves sleep.
3. Therapeutic Massages
Ayurvedic massages with medicated oils like Dhanwantharam Thailam help relieve muscle tension and improve blood circulation, easing migraine symptoms.
4. Shirodhara
A continuous stream of warm medicated oil poured on the forehead relaxes the mind, reducing stress-induced migraines.
5. Yoga and Pranayama
Specific poses and breathing techniques balance the doshas and alleviate migraine symptoms. For instance:
Shavasana (Corpse Pose): Relieves stress.
Bhramari (Bee Breath): Calms the mind.
Dietary and Lifestyle Adjustments
Avoid Trigger Foods: Steer clear of processed foods, caffeine, and alcohol.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Maintain Regular Meal Times: Avoid skipping meals to keep blood sugar levels stable.
Prioritize Sleep: Stick to a consistent sleep schedule.
Incorporate Exercise: Gentle activities like walking or yoga can reduce stress and improve overall health.
Why Choose Kerala for Migraine Ayurvedic Treatment?
Kerala’s serene environment, authentic Ayurvedic practices, and experienced practitioners create the perfect setting for healing. Resorts like Dheemahi Ayurveda offer:
Personalized Treatment Plans: Tailored therapies addressing individual dosha imbalances.

Explore the Benefits of Pranayama
Does Pranayam really work? What is the science behind Pranayama?
We, being the best yoga teachers in Gurgaon, generally face these questions. We also observed that when students understand the relevance of yoga asanas, they become more conscious, and the results improve.
Let’s understand the meaning of the word Pranayama first. “Prana” means energy, whereas “Yama” means control. And collectively, it means control over the energy. Pranayam is nothing but a technique of breath regulation.
In Pranayam, the person intentionally inhales, holds, and exhales their breath. The whole process is done with consciousness, where the aim is to connect (yog or unite) both body and mind. The duration, frequency, and control - are all significant in Pranayam.
Types of Pranayama Pranayama can be performed in four ways. These are:
Nadishodhana
Ujjayi
Bhramari
Bastrika
You can do Pranayam practice during the asanas or meditation. Either way, the focus is drawn on the breath.
Potential Benefits of Pranayama Experts have closely monitored the benefits of Pranayama. Several international universities and organizations have researched to evaluate the advantages of the body and mind. And on that basis, we can count the benefits of Pranayama practices.
1. Reduction in Stress Levels Many people notice a reduction in stress levels with the regular practice of Pranayama. One of the studies noticed less stress among workers who followed Pranayama practice regularly for four weeks.
2. Improves sleep quality
Pranayama can help people with insomnia. People who have difficulty sleeping can experience better sleep quality. Moreover, studies also claim it can reduce day sleeping, snoring, and sleep apnea.
3. Induces Mindfulness
Pranayama calms the mind, increases awareness, and results in higher mindfulness. Many people experience reduced anxiety, clarity in thoughts, and reduced impulsiveness with regular practice of Pranayama.
4. Regulates Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is dangerous. As mental or physical stress increases, it has a negative effect on blood pressure. As a result, many people have to consume regular pills to regulate blood pressure levels within limits. Here, Pranayama can help people to manage blood pressure. Although it is directly related to stress, as the person starts controlling their breath, their stress and blood flow starts falling normally.
5. Improves Lung Function
Pranayama also helps increase lung capacity. The lungs become healthier and start consuming and holding more air. This way, a person inhales more oxygen. As a result, more air reaches the organs, and their efficiency improves. These organs release more toxins and become healthy with time.
6. Less Food Cravings
As told earlier, control is one of the crucial parts of Pranayama. Reduced cravings, weight reduction, and less irritation are some of the benefits that one can embrace with the regular practice of Pranayama.
Bottom Line The benefits of Pranayamas are well known. However, the right technique also matters. When people don't follow the right approach, they suffer side effects.
But you can save yourself from these mistakes. When the right technique is learned under the guidance of a Yoga Trainer, you can reap the benefits of a lifetime. So, just keep your doubts away and book an appointment with H2 Yoga. Here, we offer the best yoga services that can benefit people of all age groups.
