Bhramari (Nasal Snoring)

Bhramari (Nasal Snoring)

Bhramari or Nasal Snoring is more difficult than the usual mouth snoring. In Bhramari, the lips are closed and vibrations of the soft palate are cause entirely by nasal airflow unlike the usual mouth snoring. In order to be able to practice Bhramari, you may start by practicing mouth snoring in order to develop some voluntary control over the palate vibration process. Approach control develops gradually. Bharamri is beneficial to Pregnant Women as preparation for labor.

Bhramari (Nasal Snoring)

The soft palate must be lifted toward the top of the pharynx sufficiently to produce flutter which may be very hard to control. The sound produced is commonly described as similar to the buzzing of a bee. Although, in Bhramari, one breathes both in and out through both nostrils, producing a snoring, buzzing or humming sound in both directions. The sound your produce may somewhat be different, inhaling produces a sound with a higher pitch than exhaling which has a lower pitch. Bhramari is customarily described to involve rapid inhalation that produces a high humming sound like that of a male bee and slow exhalation that produces a low humming sound like that of a female bee.
