This breath should be practiced before meditation or sleep and helps relieve mental tension, anger, insomnia, and anxiety.¹

How to do it:¹

• Sit on the floor or other flat surface with legs crossed, feet resting on legs.
• With eyes closed, chin tucked to chest, and body posture erect, inhale through the nose slowly and deeply.
• Using your fingers, block yours ears by pushing the outer ear inward.
• Exhale, making a low-pitched and soft humming noise.
• Bring the hands to the knees when you have finished exhaling and breathe naturally.
• Repeat 10-20 times, concentrating on hearing your breath and any subtle sounds.
