Brahmari (the Bee): This practice of making a sound like a bee is very simple and very useful. Try it!

Brahmari (the Bee)

Even breathing: Exhalation and inhalation are of equal duration:

8-second breath / 7.5 per minute *
10-second breath / 6 per minute
12-second breath / 5 per minute
16-second breath / 4 per minute
20-second breath / 3 per minute

* Start with an 8-second breath, and then choose slower breaths as it becomes comfortable to do so.

Two-to-one breathing: Exhalation is twice as long as Inhalation. This is very relaxing, as the elongated exhalation brings additional release of the autonomic nervous system.

9-second breath / 6.5 per minute ***
12-second breath / 5 per minute
15-second breath / 4 per minute
18-second breath / 3.5 per minute
21-second breath / 3 per minute

* Start with a 9-second 2-to-1 breath, and then choose slower breaths as it becomes comfortable to do so.

This site is devoted to presenting the ancient Self-Realization path of the Tradition of the Himalayan masters in simple, understandable and beneficial ways, while not compromising quality or depth. The goal of our sadhana or practices is the highest Joy that comes from the Realization in direct experience of the center of consciousness, the Self, the Atman or Purusha, which is one and the same with the Absolute Reality. This Self-Realization comes through Yoga meditation of the Yoga Sutras, the contemplative insight of Advaita Vedanta, and the intense devotion of Samaya Sri Vidya Tantra, the three of which complement one another like fingers on a hand. We employ the classical approaches of Raja, Jnana, Karma, and Bhakti Yoga, as well as Hatha, Kriya, Kundalini, Laya, Mantra, Nada, Siddha, and Tantra Yoga. Meditation, contemplation, mantra and prayer finally converge into a unified force directed towards the final stage, piercing the pearl of wisdom called bindu, leading to the Absolute.
