Let's Hummm....

Sha practices very nice ujjayi breaths, strong and smooth, deep and extended. And today, i introduced Bhramari ( humming bee). There are two type of bramari being taught in classes
--- the basic one is using the voice box to create a "hmmm.mm..." tone.
--- the more advance practice is using the vibration of the skin, by constricting the throat a little more from ujjayi. The air that passes through the narrow airway creates a fine tuning sound.

Sha is my first client who's able to hum without operating the voice box. I'm happy for her, its an excellent technique for her! She laughed at the first few tries, because it sounded like mosquitoes. And i left her alone to experience it a while.

Sha described that the sound felt like it'd occupied whole of her head inside--- sipping into her brain.

We wrap up with a short yoga nidra, using imagery. I guided her through a series of stories, and eventually brought her to a big grassland. And i kept talking to her about the things she can experience while lying in that piece of grassland all alone. Let out a scent of lavender along the way.

" I've never felt so relax on my own, alone before. Last week, almost every night i managed to get more good night sleeps." I'm glad for her that i could help her in some ways, and appreciate that she's non-resistance for the practices i taught her."
