Humming. For Calm.

Hum with your mouth closed. The vibration travels directly to the vagus nerve.

How

Close your mouth.
Take a slow breath in.
Hum on the exhale — any pitch, any tone.
Let the vibration fill your chest and throat.
Repeat for 5–10 breaths.

When

When anxious or stressed.
Before a difficult conversation or situation.
As part of a wind-down routine before sleep.

Why

Humming stimulates the vagus nerve through vocal cord vibration. The extended exhale simultaneously activates the parasympathetic nervous system.
