For the Pranayama aficionados out there, here's a 5 video about the black bee, Xylocopa, aka the Carpenter Bee. I've only come across this type of bee in rural Portugal. They are large for a flying insect and can sometimes frighten people with their sound, size and general presence. I'm not sure exactly, exactly, the bee the Yogis who discovered Brahmari Pranayama were referring to; but it must be one of the family Xylocopa. The sound they make is like the sound you make whilst performing Brahmari Pranayama. Brahmari Pranayama is a gift for anyone who is looking for a way to control their nerves (as it can be so calming) up until those who wish to increase their psychic perception and cross into the esoteric universe of Yoga. It is the exploration into the fundamental building blocks of your existence in the universe; sound, your senses and the witnessing consciousness. It is very easy and pleasurable to perform, not necessarily requiring any warm up or special dietary restrictions. ❤️
