Humming!!
Hum my dear, hum!

It is such a powerful practice.
I love to do it & I love to teach it.

Not just it boosts our immune & cardiovascular systems thanks to the higher production of nitric oxide, but also calms our nervous system & releases tensions in the head, taking us to lower frequency brain waves: in the range of theta waves, a very healing place.

A short time humming will gift anyone the clear feeling of being more relaxed & more centered.
I believe it is not by chance that it is part of the aum chant!

So... Hum my dear, hum!
And if you wish to hum with me, bookings for Neurobreath yoga are open to individuals, groups & families.
Just DM.

Scientists have discovered that a simple act — humming — can significantly improve your health. Research shows that humming continuously for just five seconds can boost nitric oxide levels by 1,400%, a molecule vital for blood flow, immunity, and brain function.
Nitric oxide relaxes blood vessels, lowers blood pressure, and improves oxygen circulation throughout the body. When you hum, vibrations in the nasal cavity stimulate the sinuses, leading to increased production of this powerful compound. This natural process can help reduce stress, improve focus, and enhance respiratory health — even supporting recovery from sinus infections.
Doctors now recommend humming meditation or soft “Om” breathing as a simple daily practice to strengthen the cardiovascular system and calm the nervous system. No expensive treatments, no supplements — just your own voice creating biochemical harmony within the body.

Personally, mothering has been & still is the hardest toughest job i ve done in my life.
Who would have known...a slap in da face, literally. Nonetheless, it also is the best sweetest most rewarding thing too. It exhaustes me & I love it 😆🥰💓

The average mom is interrupted every 3 minutes. That adds up to more than 400 interruptions a day. These constant disruptions do more than make her feel tired; they spike stress levels and wipe out working memory, which is crucial for planning, problem-solving, and multitasking.

Chronic interruptions can change how the brain functions over time. Repeatedly switching attention forces the prefrontal cortex to work harder, increasing fatigue and reducing focus. It also affects emotional regulation, making it harder to stay calm and patient in stressful moments.

Understanding this can help families support mothers better. Simple strategies like uninterrupted blocks of time, shared household responsibilities, and minimizing digital distractions allow the brain to recover and perform optimally. Even small changes in daily routines can help protect working memory, reduce stress, and support overall brain health.

Moms are constantly juggling tasks, but respecting their focus and giving them space to think can make a significant difference. Every uninterrupted moment helps her brain recharge, maintain clarity, and support her mental and emotional well-being.

Breathing, according to me, corresponds to taking charge of one’s own life.

Finding this news not surprising but absolutely fascinating 🫀💓

Scientists found that every person’s heartbeat creates a unique electric pattern that never repeats—like a biological fingerprint. New wearable sensors can now use these signals to unlock phones or secure data. The next generation of security may come not from passwords, but from the rhythm of your heart.

Even small acts of love can take us a long way, also healthwise 🤍🩵💜

❤️🧠 Men who kiss their wives before work tend to live longer (with some studies showing an increase of an average of five years of life) due to the positive psychological and physiological effects of the affectionate gesture, according to a German study and other analysis. This practice is linked to a better start to the day, reduced stress from the release of hormones like oxytocin, a healthier lifestyle, and a stronger sense of emotional well-being.

To elaborate a bit, kissing, especially a longer, six-second kiss, can stimulate the release of oxytocin, the “love hormone”, which fosters emotional connection and reduces stress by lowering the stress hormone cortisol.

Men who kiss their wives also begin the day with a more positive attitude and a feeling of harmony, which is reflected in both their mental and physical state.

Also, the positive mindset fostered by the morning kiss is associated with a healthier lifestyle overall. The original study also noted that these men tended to have fewer car accidents.

Furthermore, beyond the physical benefits, the act of kissing reinforces a strong emotional bond, leading to greater relationship satisfaction and emotional resilience. This strong social connection is a key predictor of long-term health and happiness.

Lastly, kissing can trigger a “love cocktail” of hormones and neurotransmitters, including dopamine, oxytocin and serotonin, creating a “natural high” and reducing stress hormones like cortisol.

Does this research resonate with your experience? What other small daily habits do you find contribute to a happier life?

No daycare till at least 3. That was my choice for my daughter. And I was blessed to be able to take 15 months of maternity leaves, unpaid of course. To make it possible Manawa and I were nomadic with our built in van and staying at different friends for about a year. Gypsy life but what a good brain she has now ;) 😍💗🙏
