Guided Practice 10: Humming Sequence 1.0
Hello team! Today we’re going to Hummmmm.
Humming isn’t just a nice add-on to a breath practice, it’s doing real physiological work.
The vibration from humming stimulates the vagus nerve through its branches in the throat and sinuses, which feeds directly into parasympathetic tone. At the same time, slow humming naturally extends your exhale, and longer exhales are one of the most reliable ways to shift the nervous system toward rest and digest.
This shows up in measures like pre-ejection period (PEP), a cardiac timing interval that reflects how strongly the sympathetic nervous system is driving your heart.
A longer PEP means less sympathetic push on the heart muscle. Practices like this that boost vagal tone, tend to lengthen PEP, which is a good marker that the body is dropping out of fight or flight and into a calmer state.
Please try this and let me know how you feel after each set! We need the data 😉
