Humming Vocalisations For Hormonal Balance! How & Why?!


โฆ.NEED to focus ๐งโโ๏ธ on the scientific ๐งซ ๐งช mechanisms behind the 108 times vocalisations of โMโ or โOMโ taking 18 minutes of time ๐ฐ๏ธ to do the beneficial activity for the body and the brain ๐ง !
VOCALISATION of โMโ is the act of converting the normal passive expiration with recoil of lungs ๐ซ of inhaled air, the God given oxygen into vocalisations and vibrations transmitted to skull ๐! While expiring the air, need to actively contract muscles starting from bottom, the perineal area! Move the contractions upwards sequentially for the vocalisations and vibrations to be transmitted to skull ๐ and brain ๐ง for helping the release of endocrine hormones of the pituitary and pineal glands Viz. Growth Hormone, Prolactin, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone, Follicle Stimulating Hormone, Luteinizing Hormone, Oxytocin, Vasopressin; and, Melatonin & Serotonin respectively!
These eight 8๏ธโฃ plus two 2๏ธโฃ = ten ๐ hormones have far reaching constructive and repairing effects on the body and the brain ๐ง !
UPON inhaling the air, the God given oxygen, to fill the two lungs ๐ซ maximally and pausing for few seconds after maximally filling the lungs ๐ซ, begin to exhale out ACTIVELY & CONSCIOUSLY starting from bottom i.e. Contracting the urethral and anal sphincters as if trying to hold back urination and defecation (Kegel manoeuvre), thereupon contracting the abdominal musculatures (Kapalbhati), then moving upwards to contract the expiratory muscles of the chest and contracting the 72 muscles of VOCALISATION to transmit vibrations to skull ๐ and brain ๐ง with the pronunciation of โMโ!
EACH cycle of inspiration and active expiration needs to be done comfortably utilising 10 seconds i.e. about 3 seconds of inspiration, 1 second of pause and 6 seconds of active expiration starting from bottom Viz. Kegel Manoeuvre upwards to Kapalbhati to vocalising to transmit vibrations to skull ๐ and brain ๐ง for the release of the 10 endocrine hormones directly into the blood ๐ฉธ circulation for the entire body!
PROCESS of deep inhalation (Pranayama) and active expiration (Kegel, Kapalbhati, Vocalising) helps activate the entire body and mind, which can be done in any posture, sitting ๐ช, lying ๐, standing๐ถโโ๏ธ or while walking ๐ถ !
RAISING the upper limbs ๐ above ๐ head level as for Laughing Buddha Posture (forearms above head), helps feeding extra blood ๐ฉธ with oxygen to the brain ๐ง and face while vocalising โMโ 108 times taking about 18 minutes (108 x 10 seconds = 1080 seconds = 1080 divided by 60 seconds = 18 minutes) daily regularly!

This sounds like an interesting practice advocating for the physiological benefits of specific breathing techniques combined with vocalizations like “OM.” Here’s a simplified breakdown of the concept:
### Breathing Technique and Its Benefits
1. **Inhalation**:
– Fill lungs maximally with air.
– Pause for a few seconds after filling lungs.
2. **Active & Conscious Exhalation**:
– **Kegel Maneuver**: Contract urethral and anal sphincters to activate base muscles.
– **Kapalbhati**: Engage abdominal muscles.
– **Chest Muscles**: Contract expiratory muscles of the chest.
– **Vocalization**: Use the 72 muscles of vocalization to produce the “M” sound.
3. **Cycle Duration**:
– Total: 10 seconds per cycle.
– Inspiration: 3 seconds.
– Pause: 1 second.
– Active Exhalation: 6 seconds.
### Mechanism of Action
– **Vibrations**: Transmitted from the vocal cords to the skull and brain.
– **Muscle Engagement**: Sequential contraction from the perineal area upwards.
### Beneficial Hormones
– **Pituitary Gland** (releases 8 hormones):
– **Growth Hormone (GH)**: Stimulates growth and cell reproduction.
– **Prolactin**: Affects lactation.
– **Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)**: Stimulates thyroid gland.
– **Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone (ACTH)**: Stimulates adrenal cortex.
– **Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)**: Influences reproductive processes.
– **Luteinizing Hormone (LH)**: Triggers ovulation.
– **Oxytocin**: Promotes bonding and reduces stress.
– **Vasopressin**: Regulates water retention in kidneys.
– **Pineal Gland** (releases 2 hormones):
– **Melatonin**: Regulates sleep cycles.
– **Serotonin**: Stabilizes mood and happiness.
### Practice
– **108 Vocalizations of โMโ**: Each lasting 10 seconds, totaling approximately 18 minutes.
– **Posture**: Bhramari pranayama can be performed in any posture.
This method emphasizes the active engagement of various muscle groups, sequential contractions, and the production of specific vocal vibrations to stimulate hormone release. Practitioners believe this could have significant benefits for the body and brain ๐ง .

Proper posture ensures the effectiveness of the practice:
1. **Seated Position**: Sit in a comfortable positionโPadmasana (Lotus Pose), Sukhasana (Easy Pose), or on a chair.
2. **Spine Alignment**: Keep your spine erect and shoulders relaxed.
3. **Hand Position**: Place the index fingers on your ears’ cartilage.
4. **Eyes**: Close your eyes to internalize your focus.
5. **Jaw**: Keep your mouth gently closed with teeth slightly apart.
### Benefits of Vocalizing ‘OM’
Vocalizing ‘OM’ offers numerous benefits:
1. **Calms the Mind**: The sound and vibration create a tranquil state of mind, lowering stress levels.
2. **Reduces Blood Pressure**: Studies suggest a reduction in blood pressure and heart rate with regular practice.
