When humming, the physiological benefits alone can do remarkable things. As our formula “Frequency + Intent = Healing” indicates, intent is as important as the actual sound you are creating. You may find that this component immensely increases your ability to experience the sound as well as enhancing the healing power of your hum. You’ll be adding the element of visualization or imagination as you hum. As we’ve previously noted, our thoughts really do matter.

In this chapter we will be focusing on adding the power of intention to the hum, creating conscious humming. We had you experimenting with humming as a monotone, with different pitches, and even as songs to see if you could feel the vibrations of your self-created sounds in your body. In our last chapter we presented basic exercises that would allow you to begin to experience the sensations of humming in your body. Providing a self-healing method accessible to all, the authors reveal that, even if you have no musical ability, we are all sound healers. They also examine the spiritual use of humming, including its use as a sonic yoga technique and its role in many world traditions, such as the Om, Aum, or Hum of Hindu and Tibetan traditions. The authors show how sound can act as a triggering mechanism for the manifestation of your conscious intentions. They explore the science behind sound healing, revealing how self-created sounds can literally rearrange molecular structure and how humming not only helps with stress levels, sleep, and blood pressure but also increases lymphatic circulation and melatonin production, releases endorphins, creates new neural pathways in the brain, and releases nitric oxide, a neurotransmitter fundamental to health and well-being. They provide conscious humming and breathing exercises from simple to advanced, complete with online examples, allowing you to experience the powerful vibratory resonance that humming can create and harness its healing benefits for body, mind, and spirit. In this guide to conscious humming, Jonathan and Andi Goldman show that you do not need to be a musician or singer to benefit from sound healing practices-all you need to do is hum. Research has shown humming to be much more than a self-soothing sound: it affects us on a physical level, reducing stress, inducing calmness, and enhancing sleep as well as lowering heart rate and blood pressure and producing powerful neurochemicals such as oxytocin, the “love” hormone. If you have a voice and can speak, you can hum. Humming is one of the simplest and yet most profound sounds we can make.

Yet, Emelia does manage to have a couple of great runs and at one point she is cheering inside the car saying “it works, it works” as she crossed the finish line at 9.74 seconds at 144.21 mph.An accessible guide to the practice of conscious humming Still, problems persist as she complains about the car feels down on power after each shift, and on another run, the transmission wants to go straight to sixth gear. After her first two runs were a bust, they realize the transmission needs to go through a relearning process and after some tinkering on the computer, her third run is much more solid. At Famoso Dragstrip, Emelia says they are starting with 9 lbs of boost to set the baseline as this is the first time she’ll be testing a new prototype transmission controller that was installed in the previous video.
