Activate Your Vagus Nerve Humming For Deep Relaxation

I love this technique.

I'm going to guide us here through 10 rounds of humming breath and practice this one before your meditation,

Before bed,

Really any time throughout the day.

For me,

I find it really helps elevate my mood,

Calm my nervous system with the vibration of the humming,

And allows me to come back into a place where I feel centered and calm.

This humming breath also stimulates the vagus nerve,

Which plays a key role in reducing stress,

Lowering blood pressure,

And improving our digestion.

Let's practice together.

So we're going to breathe in through the nose and on the exhale,

Make a humming sound.

Extending as much as you can on that exhale.

Breathe in through the nose.

I like to imagine it clearing my center body,

The energy channels we carry through the center of our body on that exhale.

Breathe in.

In through the nose.

Beautiful work.

We have five more rounds here together.

Breathing in,

Fill your belly.

Last four.

Last three.

Last two.

And last one.

Allow that humming vibration to still carry through the body as you complete your practice.

Notice how you can shift your own energy with your breath.
