Humming Harmonizes: Breathe, Hum, and Reset
Humming can be effectively practiced in structured patterns to achieve a calming effect. A common technique involves inhaling for four counts, holding for four counts, and then exhaling with a humming sound for eight counts. This exercise can be repeated for at least four rounds until a feeling of reset is achieved. An alternative approach includes doing 30-second rounds of humming, with at least three rounds suggested for optimal results. Incorporating alternate nostril breathing may enhance this practice by reducing the inhalation aperture, which further increases the calming effects of the exercise.
