Humming: A Simple Solution to Emotional Calm
Humming can effectively alleviate emotional distress and promote a sense of calm by releasing nitric oxide in the body, which acts as a vasodilator. This practice not only quiets the mind, as evidenced by a video of a baby calming down when hummed to, but also reduces eye strain and fatigue. Engaging in humming can be structured in various ways for optimal effect, including a B-Breath yoga technique that amplifies the calming vibrations in the sinus cavities. Recommended methods include humming for 30 seconds or practicing a four by eight breathing cycle to help reset emotional state. Incorporating alternate nostrils during this practice may enhance tranquility by regulating breath flow. Though limited scientific research underpins this approach, personal experiences indicate significant benefits in emotional well-being.
