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:
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
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
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.

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).
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.
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
2
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
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.
