The exhalation in this pranayama resembles the typical humming sound of a bee. Sit up straight in a quiet, well ventilated corner with your eyes closed. Keep a gentle smile on your face.Place your index fingers on your ears. There is a cartilage between your cheek and ear. Place your index fingers on the cartilage.Take a deep breath in and as you breathe out, gently press the cartilage. You can keep the cartilage pressed or press it in and out with your fingers, while making a loud humming sound like a bee.You can also make a low-pitched sound but it is a good idea to make a high-pitched one for better results.Breathe in again and continue the same pattern for 6-7 times.
