Humming is The Poor Man’s Viagra

This is Not an April Fool’s joke. Humming is so healthy for you that we suggest
you Hum while sitting at your computer. A lousy five (5) minutes daily will do the
following:

a) increase airflow to your lungs up to 38%.

b) improve the health to your sinuses (hollow air-filled spaces in back
of your Nasal cavity) by reducing infection up to 32%.
c) reduces pain, headaches and congestion from Sinusitis.
d) causes brainwave rhythms (electrical cycles per second) to Change
from Beta (13-40 Hz) for alert concentration – to Alpha (8-13 Hz)
for deep relaxation integrating left and right hemispheres of brain.

Viagra

When you hum for a minimum of five minutes – you begin to increase Nitric Oxide
(NO) in your paranasal sinuses. NO is 15 to 17 times higher - than those not
humming. Please read it again: 15-17x greater - compared to non-hummers.

So What

Humming causes improved sinus ventilation (purified air) by circulating oxygenated

blood into your lungs. Great, but the Viagra thing?

OK, Nitric Oxide signals the smooth muscles in your body to relax. It causes
vasodilation (widening) and increase blood flow. Specifically NO produces more
blood circulation to your nether organs. Guess which one?

Nitric Oxide aids in the circulation of more blood, stronger erections, plus signaling
your smooth muscles for orgasm. It is an Aha experience.

Who Says So

Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden, lead author John Lungberg, M.D.

Published in American Journal of Respiratory & Critical Care Medicine.

There is more – the nitric oxide research produced the Nobel Prize for
three U.S. scientists – Furchgott, Ignarro and Murad in 1998.

Dr. Louis J. Ignarro (UCLA) said, “The research indicates Nitric Oxide helps
prevent heart attacks and stroke.” Dr. Lungberg was quoted, “Healthy sinuses have
a high concentration of NO.” Scientists are embarrassed by the sexual benefits.

Conclusion: humming appears to be more than just replacing the words we

forgot to that song.

Humming Exercise

We know you know how to hum, but here is what we found teaching this
strategy to students and executives. It takes 5-10 minutes of daily practice
humming for 21 days for the benefits to kick-in and become a habit (autopilot).

We teach this humming strategy to students and executives to increase their

learning skills, and in particular long-term memory and speed reading.

Can you remember the tune of Happy Birthday? Right, stick to humming
Happy Birthday compared to a new song or humming random sounds. The reason
is to ignore the entire process and permit it to go on automatic.

You do not have to analyze the humming rhythm of Happy Birthday; it has its own
neural network in your brain through repetition since you were a little kid.

1. Sit at your computer: eyes open, now start Humming.

2. Discover you can hum to Happy Birthday while reading
text and even when typing on your word processor.
3. Do one-minute of conscious Humming and stop.
4. Put an intentional SMILE on your face and hum H.B. for
another one-minute. It doubles the Humming effectiveness.
5. Roll in a circular pattern in your seat and hum H.B. for
just one-minute. Move left-to-right in a circular orbit.

Can you hum with your eyes closed? And chew Wrigley’s gum and walk at the same
time? Sure you can. When you hum with your eyes closed you begin to Daydream
and get drowsy. Is that bad?

No – humming for even a couple of minutes switch your Brainwave rhythms from
your left-brain activities to your right-hemisphere automatic functions. You go from
Beta to Alpha and even to Theta as you hum and daydream.

It appears that in Theta (4-7 Hz) cycles per second, your brain is better at learning,
memory and speed reading. It consolidates into long-term memory what you have
previously learned. Study-learn-long-term memory.

Subvocalization

When Homo sapiens read they hear the words in their brain through their larynx
(voice box). We hear each and every word pronounced and it slows us down to a
snail crawling. Ready?

Humming while you read activates your Peripheral Vision and inhibits your Foveal
(central, narrow) vision. You visually take in more letters and words with each

eye-fixation with Peripheral vs. Central vision. You can save up to two hours daily
in reading time by Humming while you read articles, reports and books.

In-The-Flow

Our research with students and executives indicates Humming to Happy Birthday
creates Peak Performances of learning and analysis. Your brain goes into your
Zone, also called In-The-Flow. You may discover how to ace exams and produce
better presentations. Oh yeah, Humming is a low sound only you should hear.

How

Remember you do not have to concentrate or pay conscious attention to Humming

to the tune of Happy Birthday. H.B. is flying on autopilot and appears instantly
when you think of it using your Will Power (volition). It is like reaching your hand
out to grab an apple. Thinking alone creates the desired behavior.

Make-believe you are preparing for an interview, presentation or a test. Find a

corner and take 1-2 minutes Humming with a Smile on your face. Our results
based on graduates from our workshops is relaxation and loss of stress.

Your self-confidence expands based on homeostasis (equilibrium); the familiar tune

creates mental and physical harmony. The law of Association of the tune
you hum and past experiences of joy and happiness, produces positive thinking and
positive behaviors in the present.

Happy Birthday is the tune everyone carries in his or her long-term memory for
instant activation. No one ever says, How does H.B. go again? You get instant
replay, right? Our brain likes the familiar and routine because it feels comfortable.

Do a Mind Experiment, be your own scientist and discover the power of Humming.
A. Einstein recommended Mind Experiments for personal creativity. You decide.

Endwords

There are so many reasons to test and discover the power of intentional conscious
Humming. We recommend it to all our students for improved health and learning.
You might want to invest five-minutes daily and discover it for yourself.

One last thing – would you own a competitive advantage by reading and
remembering three (3) books, articles and reports in the time your peers
can hardly finish one?
