🤔 What is Brain Humming?

Brain humming is simply making a long “Mmmmmmm” sound.

🎵 You don’t have to sing.
🎵 You don’t have to sound good.
🎵 Anyone can do it!

The vibration from your voice may help your body relax and calm your nervous system. Some researchers think it does this by stimulating the vagus nerve, which plays an important role in the body’s “rest and relax” response. Evidence is promising, but more research is still being done. (Donovan Health)
