Lower stress and heart rate with humming sound meditation.
Please use headphones and keep volume a low comfortable level.
Inhale: Inhale slowly and deeply to the count of four.
Hold: Hold your breath for a count of four.
Exhale: Exhale slowly with a hum.
Hold: Hold your breath with empty lungs for a count of four.
Repeat: Continue this cycle for several minutes.
Humming helps us lower stress and heart rate while increasing heart rate variability (HRV), a vital indicator of a healthy and responsive autonomic nervous system.
