Humming: A Simple Solution to Emotional Calm
Humming has the potential to alleviate emotional distress by releasing nitric oxide in the body, which acts as a vasodilator to promote calmness. This practice can be simple; even humming for just 30 seconds can lead to noticeable effects. Additionally, a technique from yoga known as B-Breath enhances the benefits of humming by creating a vibrational resonance in the sinus cavities, further aiding relaxation and reducing eye strain. Incorporating humming before speaking engagements may improve focus and calm nerves.
