Pain Reduction Breath — as an aid for easing chronic pain or headaches

A supportive exercise to ease the perception of pain and the tension around it, combining Bhramari humming with the Extended Exhale. Breathing does not treat the cause of pain, but it reduces its perception and the tension that amplifies it; the sonic vibration and long exhale calm the nervous system and relax the tight muscles around the painful area. Instructions ● Continue for 5 to 10 minutes. ● Begin with an extended exhale, then add the humming. ● Direct your attention to the exhale, not the pain. ● Note: this exercise is an aid to relaxation only, not a substitute for medical treatment or medication. If pain is severe or persistent, consult a doctor.
