It's called the Maha Mantra. I think the Sudarshan Kriya is more powerful for improving breathing, though.

TJ > I teach yoga and study it, and to my knowledge I have not heard of any technique which has one humming and breathing through the nose while practicing pranayama(life force energy). There are 3 types of breathing which is yogic related which I know of. Viloma breath involves taking usually 3 breaths with a pause in between each breath followed by a long exhalation. Alternate nostril breathing, and Kabalbhati breathing. All require a degree of control with no added dimension to the technique. I have not tried humming and breathing together personally. But hey! One can never tell..try it out. :-) Ernie -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussi! ng Colloidal Silver.
