Practising bhramari pranayama

A guided practice for hemispheric balance through breath and focused attention.

Sit straight and concentrate. Use both index fingers at the ears. Keep elbows aligned. Bite the teeth evenly to hear the sound from both sides. Control the teeth to engage both hemispheres. Perform the breath cycles for a set count, then rest. Place hands on the head and feel the vibration in both hemispheres. Observe the difference when teeth are open or closed. The breath should be equal through the nostrils. Restlessness indicates a lack of balance between the hemispheres. This technique requires consistent practice over many days. Learning this balance is not immediate, like learning to drive or fly. One must practice until it becomes internalized, able to be done without the teacher's presence. The key is intense concentration, like a pilot focusing only on the instruments, ignoring external conditions. All aspects of life and yoga require this deep, singular focus to be mastered.

"Bite your teeth and see what the difference is from both."

"When the master is with, but when the masters are not, that’s a problem. So, slowly."

Deva, Deva, Purīṣa, Mahādeva, Ārādhi, Bhagavān, Śrī Madhvānandajī, Bhagavān, Salāt, Purīṣa, Mahādeva, Gijan. Brahmari, the brahmari pranayama. Sit up straight, concentrate. We will use our index fingers to give in our pochke. With both hands—it varies—use both index fingers. Your elbows should be on the same side, not forward, not down, not back, but straight as they are. Bite your teeth, but on both sides. You should hear with both your ears and from the mouth. You have to control your teeth so that we will go well. If someone has one or two teeth missing there, it will be difficult. But you have to concentrate, and both hemispheres, exactly. Like, okay, so, and 15 times. Fifteen times, then again come down. Are your hands on your jeans? We should tell the police that they... Should not for a while, not speak loud. Now open your eyes and look at my arms. With both hands, we will hold our both hemispheres, and this side we have to stay like, not like that, like. And then again, we will make it only five times. But go not like down here, like this up five times. Close your eyes, close your lips, and keep open or relax your teeth. Place your hands on your own feel. Vibration in both hemispheres, hands down on our hands again, both hands on both hemispheres. And now, bite your teeth and see what the difference is from both. Open or closed? Lips are closed, and we will bite our teeth. Both hemispheres, number this one, two, and third point. It will come again five times. Place the hand again on your time. Be relaxed and feel the hemisphere vibration if together. In oneness, or sometimes white side or other side, means only one hemisphere or both, exactly. Mentally, your mantra, the sound of our breath, five times again with both index fingers in. The ear, with lips closed. Did our teeth are open or relaxed? And leave your mantra. Place your both hands on your head, and both hammers five times. Open, don’t bite. Place your hand on your legs. Inhale, exhale with nostrils more open, and equal breath going in and out. Relax elbows, shoulders. Five times. Make the breath, like always, three times, but we do the five times. Some are restless. So it will not open eyes, curting eyes, looking this side, doing this; it is restless. Those who have this restlessness, it is not controlled in both hemispheres. I give you this; it should be about many days to make these techniques. Tomorrow again we will do, and you should do it only five, five times. I told ten at the time. Some, many, they were like this. So many. This boy, yes, this is what is his name? He’s all the time like this. I told you like this from here, and exactly. There, almost. When we put on this, we said, "Yes, yes, we are bringing all in the balance," but it’s not easy at once, yeah? When we had learned car, to learn car is not so easy, but it makes it... everything is very good, and then I... Learned everything, and the teacher, the teacher was with all the time, and everything is okay. Now the teacher’s driver, the teacher will tell that, "Now drive alone inside." Yes, because when the master is with, but when the masters are not, that’s a problem. So, slowly. Slowly, slowly, it is said there are so many points for dress, driving the car, and helicopters. That is a different, that is more different, and then, you know, you have to take off blank, that is a problem, Agni, yes? So there is heating, heating of our aeroplanes. Fire. Fire, yes. So everything is lighting. But there is one hallway. What is that point? Yeah, yes. When we take off in an aeroplane, who is learning, yes? Then they will put the blank. Now you are doing. That is the instrument blank when we put the screen blank. That’s it. And put on the face of the pilot, so that he can see the instrument only. Yes. But not outside. That’s it. What is coming from there? Yes? Yes. There it is. Here it is. Sometimes clouds are dark, but here everything is there. And that is going up and down, and like this, not that. Similarly, what yoga in their life? All there are so many things, and now many of my disciples they are doing, and I don’t, I’m not doing, and sometimes I lost again, so I’m coming again to. Back all this, but it has to be very, very, very good. Concentrations. Okay, very good. Hari Om. Kal aayenge.
