Bhramari

bhrāmarī. The name refers to a bee.

Inhale through the nose, then hum on the exhale. There is no hold.

Shanmukhi, closing the ears and eyes with the hands, is an optional tradition and stays off unless you choose it yourself. This timer does not turn it on.

Leave the app sound off while humming.

The seconds are a product default.

Skip this

• Skip this with an ear infection.
• Skip this if a controlled breath feels strained.

Stop if

• Stop if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, tingling in the lips or fingers, chest pain, heart pounding or irregular beats, visual change, nausea, headache, or panic that is rising rather than settling. Sit or lie down. Breathe quietly, without controlling the breath, until it passes.
• If chest pain, fainting, or trouble breathing does not settle, seek urgent care.
