Method
1) Inhale completely, press lightly at the root of the nose near the eyes with the middle fingers of both hands, keep the mind centred on the medullary plexus (ajna- cakra). Close both the ears completely with thumbs. Now, humming like a bee and resonating 'OM', breathe out. Repeat this procedure.
2) The noble resolution (Siva sankalpa) during bhramari pranayama
3) This pranayama should be done by identifying your consciousness with divine consciousness and God's existence. One should have in one's mind this divine resolution or thought that God's compassion, peace and bliss is raining on him. God is enriching him with pure intellect (atambhara praj.a) by dispelling all his ignorance with His divine light illumining his ajna cakra (medullary plexus). Thus by doing this pranayama with pure intentions one feels a nebula of light in his ajna - cakra and starts going into meditation automatically.
Duration
Inhaling for 3-5 seconds, and closing the ears, eyes, etc, as per the procedure, breathing it out in 15-20 seconds, makes one set of bhramari pranayama. After completing one set, one should again breathe in for 3-5 seconds with a rhythmic flow, and humming like a bee breathe it out in 15-20 seconds according to procedure. Thus, everybody should do bhramar∂ pranayama at least 5-7 times nonstop, which will take about 3 minutes.
Benefits
It dispels the instability/ fickleness of mind and is beneficial in mental tension, agitation, high B.P, heart disease, etc. It is very useful for meditation.
