Has anyone tried out Brahmari? It is in the AYP book.. Lesson#229, Page#388.
I like it.. but not very sure what kind of benefits it has. I do ujjayi with my spinal breathing in the morning.. with this I can feel the heat move up and down my spine. With the evening spinal breathing I have started Brahmari.. I love the vibration it creates down the spine, but I don't feel the heat as much?
Can anyone shed some light on the benefits of doing brahmarii vs. ujjayi? |

HI Shweta
Brahmari is an addition to ujjayi not a replacement you sort of do them both together its a noisy ujjayi and very effective. I have tried it but I don't do it as part of my regular practices, in the situation I live in it would probably lead to a visit from the men in white coats.

Hi Shanti,
Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I looked it up in the book after you mentioned it. This has been happening to me automatically every now and then on parts of the exhalation, I was shocked to see there was an actual formal practice to it. So I have since tried it the way detailed in the lessons and it is powerful stuff. I would recommend self-pacing it and it could be a reason for your emotional unrest you recorded in the "house-cleaning" thread.

Hi Andrew,
I tried this just twice.. when I go through one of my "emotional unrests ".. my practice slows down a lot... When I do add it back.. I will take it slow.. Thanks.
Actually, I found this in a little corner of the AYP book.. and thought it was very interesting.. that is why I made a post of it.. I had a feeling many may have missed it.. See at least it helped you :-) |

Hi Andrew,
Do you practice brahmari?

This has been happening with me too... and at times it does not sound like a bee.. it sounds like a flute (maybe because of kechari)..
I was just wondering if you made brahmari a part of your routine.. or just let it be as it is.. an automatic thing.

Through experimentation, I have noticed that there is a particular vibration that makes my whole brain vibrate. At this particular frequency the eyes are automatically drawn into shambavi, drawing the eyes in towards the third eye.
Mind you I am doing bramari while in Kechari mudra. Without kechari I am not getting that effect. It may be because in kechari the tongue rests on the septum, which in turn amplifies the vibrations in the head - i don't know, i'm just guessing... |

Hi Y,
For the last 2 days I have been doing brahmari without any effort, meaning, I am not trying to do it, but it just happens. I start spinal breathing in kechari, and after a couple of breaths, the tongue finds a comfortable position in stage 3 and brahamari just happens. However, since I am not controlling it (and what I mean by control is, I am not doing it as a practice), the pitch of the sound changes and in addition I do get a flute sound at times.. its all over the place.. Maybe once I get more into it, I will feel the vibrations you are talking about. But boy!!! is this practice LOUD!!!!!! |

Hi Shweta,
Just saw this question from January 5th above, sorry have been so busy in other parts of my life that I have not been around the forums as much as usual these days. I have been practicing brahmari until recently (I am in heavy self-pacing mode at the moment). I find it very potent so do it only on one exhalation when I do practice it.
Sounds perhaps more like a deep flute for me too when I do it. |
