Bhramari Pranayama: This pranayama helps to concentrate the mind and take it to the stage of meditation. The vibration of sound calms the mind and nerves. For this, first sit straight. Close your eyes and gently place your fingers on them. While breathing in through your nose and exhaling through your mouth, make a sound like a bhumra, i.e. a bee. This not only keeps the mind calm but also refreshes the body.

Chanting: Mantra has a special significance. It has a specific rhythm and sound. Its effect directly affects the body and gives a feeling of peace. Many people meditate by chanting the word ‘Om’. However, one can choose the words according to their beliefs or preferences. This removes all the negative energy from the body and recharges it with new energy.

Toning Sounds: There are different sounds to cure diseases of different parts of the body. For example, the pronunciation of ‘Nnn’ is good for the ears. You can apply the word ‘Eemm’ for the eyes. For sinus problems, pronounce the word ‘Mmm’. For the nose, it is said to pronounce the word ‘Llmm’. And for the lungs, the pronunciation of the word ‘Ssss’ is quite good.

Moreover, the sound of a metal bowl (singing bowl) also provides peace of mind in many cases. Such methods are used in various schools, colleges, hotels, health care centers, entertainment centers, clubs, therapy centers, meditation centers, spa or massage centers, drug treatment centers, children’s and old age homes, child and adolescent correctional facilities, prisons, psychiatric treatment centers, rehabilitation centers, etc. in the developed world, as well as for autistic people.
