Bhramari Pranayama


Preparatory practices of M - kara and N - kara:

  • In order to chant M - kara, you can chant word ending with 'M' such as 'OM', 'Mum', 'Swim' etc but stretch the 'M' part only. This will result in 'M-kara' chanting.
  • Chant 'MM' a few times and observe that your lips are closed, rows of teeth are separated and the tongue is just behind the lower set of teeth.

N -kara

  • In order to chant N- kara, you an chant any word ending with 'N' such as 'King', 'Ring', 'Sing', etc.. and stretch the 'N' part only. This results in the 'N- kara' chanting.
  • Chant 'NN' a few times and note that your lips are separate during this chanting.
  • While practising Bhramari, we need to use this sound of 'N- kara' and not 'M- kara' whereas while practising Nadanusandhana we use the 'M- kara'.
