Pranayama for stress
Bhramari Pranayama If there’s one Pranayama , I recommend to almost everyone—whether you’re a student, a working professional, or someone just trying to stay sane in this fast-paced world—it’s Bhramari Pranayama. Also known as the “humming bee breath,” this simple practice can work wonders for your mind and nervous system. The practice is pretty simple: you inhale deeply and exhale with a gentle humming sound, like a bee. This creates subtle vibrations in the skull and around the brain, which helps quiet the mental noise. You can place your hands in Shanmukhi Mudra or simply block your ears with your index fingers. This shuts out external sounds and draws your focus inward, allowing you to truly tune into the soothing hum of your own breath. It’s a go-to for stress, anxiety, restlessness, or those nights when your brain refuses to switch off. With just a few rounds, and you feel like you’ve hit the pause button on the world. It brings your awareness inward, slows down the breath, and creates space between thoughts—something we all desperately need these days. It also stimulates the vagus nerve, which plays a huge role in activating the body’s relaxation response. Try practicing it every day, beginning with just 5 minutes. Best done in silence, with your eyes closed. You’ll notice better sleep, more clarity, and even a shift in your emotional responses.
