Questions & Answers

We engage directly the vagus nerve when we hum. What else happens when you hum? You slow down the breathing.

You've heard that it's important that you breathe out longer than you breathe in. Humming does that naturally. You don't even have to think about it. You start humming and you slow your breathing rate down to 25% of the time breathing in, and 75% of the time breathing out.

If we want to improve the efficiency of the vagus nerve system, humming is a crucial, beautiful way to do it. When we ask you to do it with all of the techniques, it's just simply giving you time to practice- to learn the frequencies and the tunes of the Tuner.

We have people that say, "I will never hum to a device," and that's fine. You can groan to it. You can make any kind of vocalization, I don't care. But if you will make vocalization, and if you will breathe out, the humming process does that for you naturally. It just puts your nervous system to where it can learn the song that will help it later in time.

It's all because of an experience with an eight year old boy that we got a chance to work with. That was having three to 4 or 5 migraines a week. He'd get them so bad to the point he would puke, and then he would start calming down as they took him out of school and put him in a dark room.

After a few months of using the Tuner on a regular basis, Mom came in one day and saw the boy there humming at the kitchen table and she says, "Why are you humming?"

He says, "Mom, I've found out that if I start to have a migraine headache I can start humming and turn it off."

That's the power of learning the song. Learning the tune associated with these Tuners.
