Humming For Happiness

This is a humming practice. Research suggests that music stimulates the flow of happy hormones. You can also use the track to relax through the regular, slow breathing pattern we’ll use to hum. Either hum with me or as an echo, in between my phrases. Relax and go with the flow, or maybe explore your creative side. Or, if you wish, release, relax, and just listen. I hope you enjoy these 10 minutes.

Exactly what I needed to transfer from sympathetic nervous system to parasympathetic one. I loved the soothing effect had on all my being. Feeling more anchored in my body. Thank you !

I really enjoyed that, thank you. It was quite amazing to realise how much stress I was holding in my throat.

Interesting. I really enjoyed your humming. I haven't hummed in years. When I tried the sound came out stuterry, v. Funny. Because I've got covid the breathes are short and sound jaggered. So listened and heard your smooth beautiful hum in my head. Thank you.
