The Ancients Knew the Power of Sound We are Only Discovering Now

Yes, those are interesting, but they are not created by sound, but they are created by the vibration of the plate, not by the sound itself.
Try shouting at one of those plates to see what happens.

If you could get the pitch correct ArMap, you could shatter the plate, resonant frequency, and all that jazz...

In the same way, screaming to shatter a champagne glass is a real phenomenon.

But you're correct, sound requires a medium to propagate.

I change my heart rate by changing the way I breath. If I inhale start to exhale and then stop then my heart has a short pause and reduces its frequency. If I keep doing it I can slow it down 10 or more beats per minute.

No chanting or meditation required.

Wouldn't it be a perk if this slowed down aging as well?   Bisou emogee, what does Bisou mean?

It would.

It has a small side effect, it increases blood pressure a little.

   Bisou emogee, what does Bisou mean?

"Bisou" means, more or less, "little kiss" in French.

Serendipity, I just saw a T-shirt with 'Bisous' on it. What is happening right now?

Humming certainly has positive impacts. It probably won't dramatically change our lives in any revolutionary manner, but it does have measurable positive impacts.


 

The Symphony of Benefits: How Humming Impacts Your BodyHumming isn’t just a random vibration; it triggers a cascade of beneficial physiological effects. Here’s a breakdown of the key ways humming can enhance your health:  
Taming the Stress Response
Humming has a remarkable ability to calm the nervous system. Studies have shown that even short periods of humming can significantly reduce blood pressure and heart rate, shifting the body into a “parasympathetic dominance.” This involves stimulating the vagus nerve, which plays a crucial role in regulating heart rate, blood vessels, digestion, and energy storage. Furthermore, humming and chanting practices have been shown to deactivate the limbic system, the brain’s emotional center, leading to a decrease in stress hormones and a greater sense of calm.  
Nitric Oxide Boost
Humming is a powerful way to increase the production of nitric oxide, a vital molecule for overall health. Humming creates vibrations within the nasal cavity, which triggers the release of this compound. Nitric oxide promotes vasodilation, widening blood vessels, increasing blood flow, and lowering blood pressure. It also plays a key role in immune function, cardiovascular health, and respiratory health.  
Enhanced Circulation and Detoxification
Humming improves circulation throughout the body, including the lymphatic system, a crucial part of the immune system. The combination of deep breathing during humming and the release of nitric oxide increases oxygen levels in cells and facilitates the removal of toxins.  
Melatonin Production
Humming stimulates the pineal gland, located deep within the brain, to produce more melatonin. Melatonin is essential for regulating sleep cycles, but it’s also a potent antioxidant, protecting against free radicals and supporting immune function. It even has anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects.  
The “Feel-Good” Hormones
Humming can trigger the release of endorphins and oxytocin. Endorphins are natural pain relievers that also contribute to feelings of pleasure and well-being. Oxytocin, often called the “love hormone,” promotes feelings of connection and bonding, especially when humming with others.  
Why Does Humming Work? The Science of VibrationThe benefits of humming stem from its ability to act as an internal massage. The vibrations produced by humming resonate with our cells, stimulating them and promoting oxygenation. These vibrations can also help to release blockages in the flow of energy within the body, supporting the healing process. Modern science confirms that everything in the universe is in a state of vibration, each object with its own resonant frequency. Humming can reinforce the body’s natural resonance, contributing to its therapeutic effects.  

Sound is an amazing phenomenon.

No chanting or meditation required.

Although, having thought about it further, the act of deep slow breathing does create sound in any rhythm or speed desired.

Everything we do creates sound, even if are not able to ear it.
