Become a bee for a moment or Bhramari practise

One of my favourite pranayama (after kapalabhati :)  is Bhramari. It's quite funny, that's why it's also very good for the children (they like do it ) . Bhramari can be the first pranayama for them.
Bhramara means "bee" , because during exhale we are making the humming sound and it's really beautiful sound when 10 or more persons doing it.

There how Swami Sivananda writing "Sit on Padmasana or Siddhasana. Inhale rapidly through both nostrils making sound of Bhramara, the bee, and exhale rapidly through both nostrils, making the humming sound. You can carry the process till the body is bathed in respiration. In the and inhale through both nostrils, retain the breath as long as you can  do it comfortably and then axhale slowly through both nostrils(...)"

 Thanks to increased circulation of blood this pranayama heat the body, so it's very good exercise for this winter .

"...thank you for your smile"

    This is the true story.
 "Once upon a time, one girl was walking on the street. She was visiting some new city. It was a beautiful sunny day, her heart was full of joy. Suddenly, a poor woman approached to her and asked : "please, can you give me some money?". But the girl hadn't, she didn't took it for a walk, she was only with the camera in the hand. With a smiling face she answered : "I am sorry, I have nothing to give you". Poor woman looked at her eyes and told : "I understand. And sincerely  thank you for your smile" and she smiled also to the girl"

   Sometimes we think that we have nothing to give to other persone. 
The simple, but sincere smile can give a lot. Joyful eyes are the source of positive energy. Did you heard this "she/he has a sparkling eyes" but you dont know why? This is all prana. We can give it and receive it. Smile, touch, word, thought...

Shubh raatri and good night or how to sleep
