Hum to Activate the Vagus Nerve

[@chaoticdays]

The main vagus nerve activator is the Mmmmmm sound. It vibrates in your throat area which is where your parasympathetic nervous system is concentrated. By taking a slow deep abdominal breath and then exhaling with a long Mmmm sound focusing on your throat area, you stimulate your vagus nerve. I overcame my epileptic seizures with this simple but immensely powerful technique to switch from sympathetic (fight or flight) to parasympathetic (rest & digest) nervous system. I do 25 repetitions thrice a day and it gives me a calm relaxing feeling and life suddenly seems so much better.

[@jakec5618]

thats like how in yoga/meditation, they teach u to go OMMMMMMM (aka AUM)

[@Zumbaf4U]

It’s a deep “wuuuu” sound for the vagus nerve and parasympathetic per Dr. Peter Levine. ☺️ Sounds are healing in general.

[@lindaclairesartori]

Thank you for writing that out.

[@trondeirikjohnsen8479]

How wonderfull❤️

[@sunshineher]

Thank you for sharing! I'm going to try this daily to help increase my vagal tone.

[@atomoyoga]

SANSKRIT is a wonderfull way to practice this sounds and fonations ( the basic fonations and mouth, toungue, glotis, larynx positions for humans). 50 syllabas, consonants and vocals. As many as lotus flours in each Chackra. And the throat level is the one who has more, 16 petals, 16 sounds, 16 mantras !! Make sound, chant, pray, sing, talk, cry, laugh, sneeze, yawn, shout out...Expression is the opposite of Depression!

[@satoshinakamoto3342]

Man, the Indian vedic scriptures were really ahead by centuries. Chanting Om is literally stimulating the vagus nerve

You can try reverse. It will be amazing. A U M. When you say A , you can feel vibration in abdomen. When you say U, you can feel vibration in chest region. When you say M, you can feel vibration in head region. When you say AUM, you can feel vibration all together. This is excellent. Do it & feel.

[@Reincarnation111]

Actually, the A sound creates vibrations in the head region, U in the chest and M in the abdomen. This is easily demonstrable. 😊

[@joannaoconnor9418]

When I was a child I lived in a very unstable household and I started to sing from a very young age. I didn’t realise, until now, that it was my inbuilt survival that made me sing as a way of comforting myself. I have a beautiful singing voice and I see now why throughout history, so many traumatised people became great singers! The lord truly does work in mysterious ways!! Of course those who chant have clearly known this secret for a very long time indeed!! ❤️🙏

[@NoirPrintemps]

I sang for my brother's. I guess it soothed me too. Traumatic family experience too.

[@quickpstuts412]

This has helped me so much with chronic insomnia. Helps me calm my nervous system. I've also had a very strong heartbeat and can feel it in my neck from prolonged stress. I now realize that pulsing was my overstimulated vagus nerve from being stuck in flight or flight mode.

[@darksidessj25]

I found this through tons of coaching it's really great for things. Especially for confidence and talking to the ladies. You stand up straight naturally when you like someone. It's natural. I am considered a very high tenor cause I vibrate really fast. I was nervous all the time and thought I was weird, not in control etc. People made fun of me in school for it. But now I realize that it wasn't them it was just me not figuring things out. You can just do things. I wish I would got shown this early in life. This activates all three areas of your brain bringing back into alignment. I do feel where I go now and I am very light. Like super light and I could never feel it.

Amazing effect if it produces the releasing nitroxide given I understand it has a positive impact on the heart. Have I understood correctly?

[@Ruthy101]

Nitric oxide’s role in regulating blood flow and pressure is used by modern medicine in several ways. The drug nitroglycerin has been used since the late 19th century to relieve the condition known as angina pectoris, which is caused by an insufficient supply of blood to the heart muscle. Nitroglycerin was long known to achieve its therapeutic effect by dilating the coronary arteries (thereby increasing the flow of blood to the heart), but why it did so remained unknown until the late 1980s, when researchers realized that the drug serves to replenish the body’s supply of nitric oxide, more of which is then available to relax, and thereby widen, the coronary blood vessels. Per www.britannica.com/science/nitric-oxide

Activating your Vagus Nerve is a wonderful way to activate your Parasympathetic Response, aka your Relaxation Response which helps you relax and recover. Use this method to relax after a long day or a hard work out. It can also release trapped emotions and help you fall asleep quicker. It even aids in digestion... The Vagus Nerve is absolutely amazing, and all of us have the power to turn ON our OFF switch with or without props.
