1500% = 15x100% So it’s not 1500 times more…. It’s 15 times more…. No one else has commented on this?? Guess there’s some extra humming to do. Great video though!
Ancient Indian Yogis knew all about this and one of the early morning exercise/pranayam recommended was BHAMBRI YOGA. which literally means taking a deep breadth thru nose and make humming sound in your throat vibrating your vocal cords like a bhambari ( humming bee). Do it daily to enjoy its astounding benefits.
Remarkable......I think your onto something here Mike. Did this for about 5 minutes and i'm feeling good and relaxed, the humming somehow makes this less tedious than other breathing exercises, so that's a plus as well. thank you for sharing this technique.😃👍
It seems to work. I've tried a couple of times, and today is my first mid-day test. Did 10 minutes of yoga-type breathing, legs up against wall and then did breathing with umming for 10 minutes. I then sat down on a chair, and continued with the breathing and humming while attaching the BP cusp to my arms. Readings over about 5 minutes were 139/80, 118/79 and 107/73.
Mike when you were twelve years old did you have any idea of how much you would change humanity via breathing exercises. I now live with the Maya in the Highlands of Guatemala for 35 years and have able to save a forest to breath clean air. So your Take Deep Breath has been a massive organization and inspiration to Breathing, Breathwork, and the Cleansing of the BLOOD. I love the way you made this happen because of your Humanity. Peace. If you ever want to do something down here or over here just let me know because mi casa es tu casa, my forest is your forest...So can take a deep breath say do a course on today's breathing practice is about cleaning the blood or do we always clean the blood when we do Wim or Buteyko or Box or Soma or what is it specifically to clean blood...breath of fire pranayama or your the man from Dublin...Among Swimming or Amongst Women both great Irish literature but they Don't cleanse the Blood. Viva Don Miguel!!
Vincent, how very interesting that you're living in the forest of Guatemala! I spent some time there myself living in the forest of Tikal , in a hammock slung between two trees, and I loved being awakened by the monkeys each morning. Fantastic experience! An old friend who was with me at the time married a Guatemalan and had 5 children, They built and ran the Jaguar Inn for years before she was tragically killed in a small plane crash whilst returning from Guatemala city after taking her youngest to school. Her two oldest children - (family name De Solis) now run the hotels in Flores and Tikal. Carry on saving the forest!
Hi Mike .. I haven't read all the comments but have practiced this type of breath work for years on and off and it certainly calms and reduces anxiety regardless of the nitric oxide benefit . It also stimulates the parasympathetic Nervous system via the vagus nerve being vibrated. Gargling does the same ! You probably know this but it explains why people are always calm and happy when they hum . The extended out breath is the same as you get when whistling ... Again something that only happy people do generally when content. Finally .. AUM is both vibratory as well as extending the outbreath so stimulates the vagus ) parasympathetic N S in 2 ways at once . That is the reason I suspect it became such a popular mantra despite all the stories about being the sound of the universe Best wishes , Bill in Devon
@bill7853 this explains so much why my 5 year old son hums all the time. He is very sensory and I notice he hums tunes while watching videos on his iPad and sometimes just hums without a specific rhythm. Now I understand why he does it, it makes him feel good/relaxed/happy.
Its bhramari, bhramar in sanskrit means black bumblebee which humms like this and hence the name. Its a part of several types of Pranayam practiced in yoga. Try Kapal Bhaati and your abdominal region will be fat free with HB in the range of 15 to 18 without supplements. Theres even more. Being from Bharat(India) where it all originated I am greatly pleasured to see how its reaching the masses and benefitting everyone 🙏🙂. Love to all🤗
@@crumdub12 Yes, Sudarshan is a weapon of mass destruction which our God Lord Shri Vishnu Ji beholds. The process in Sudarshan kriya is that the exhaling breath should be twice as long as the inhaling one. And the speed of this process is increased gradually upto the point where you are comfortable enough to perform it at this speed for 5 to 10 mins. 🔥✌️😁
I have practiced a breathing exercise for 10 minutes and that exites the epithelium to generate NO to vasodilate veins and arteries. My BP drops from 160 to 120 after 5 minutes. Hope it helps some one
Great channel, great video. How, at 53 years old, am I just learning these things. I've talked to doctors about low nitric oxide production and not once was it mentioned how much the sinuses and nose breathing played a role. Thank God for "alternative" medicine and people like yourself.
Thank you so much for this amazing NO exercise 👃. Maybe you can interview Dr. Louis Ignarro aka the noble prize winner for discovering NO in the early 90’s. I’ve seen him on numerous podcasts here on RU-vid. He is obviously brilliant but also wonderful and kind 😊
@@pedrosousa8512 4-7-8 is breath work technique where you inhale through the nose to the count of 4, hold the breath for a count of 7, and exhale through the mouth like you are gently blowing out a candle for a count of 8. His video allows the listener to follow along and it helps encourage relaxation and sleep. I hope this helps.
Thank's for all your videos Mike . I love that there are other breath weirdos in the world like me . Almost everyone in my life thinks I'm crazy because I think breathing can save the world . Thanks again .
A little advice. Don't tell anybody what you are doing. I meditate. I tell only those who also does it. We exchange information and knowledge. The rest thinks I am crazy. Well, the less they know about me, the better off I am.
Great way to practice breathing, I love your presentation on this breathing method. Being doing this method on and off now for the past 6 months. Now that you've made it famous and popular Great it's proof that am on the right path.
Great piece of innervision breathing information, I never thought that one could be so imaginary and so creative with our own concept on breathing methods. It's a spiritual awareness and I'll definitely be practicing it, cause just love it.
The breathing technique is called "ujjayi breath" in Pranayama and taught as part of various Pranayama & Meditation courses along with many other breathing techniques for anyone interested
Any chance you can just edit a 30 minute video with the same pattern continuous, please. I have some cheap personal sauna I go in most days and usually do a 7-7 breathing video while in the sauna for 30 minutes. I would very much like to do this for 30 minutes too. Obviously if it’s far too much of a bother, that’s perfectly fine. I love your channel, hopefully I will donate a little bit of money once I get some. Great work brother, your RU-vid channel is changing lives for the better. You should be very proud of yourself. ❤️🙏
This is incorrect for the purposes of box breathing. The hum creates resistance to the airflow, so you are not using your breathing muscles to control the exhalation. Humming is great. Does many things for you besides nitric oxide, but doing it on the exhale of a box breathing exercise defeats the purpose of the exercise.
Ive always enjoyed humming when not singing/rapping. Moving back in with my dad he always trolled me for humming like it was "So annoying" to him or something. Even though I intuitively did it, and He intuitively does stuff as well but I dont judge him for it. Our parents can definitely show us what not to do alot of the time
Looking at comments… why can’t this just be a physical practice to improve health? Why does it have to link into the spiritual? I don’t prescribe to any other religions or practices other than Christianity. 🤷🏼♀️
The vid title is increase nitric oxide. Did I miss something? If you’d like, you can use it for “physical practice” what’s the big deal? Would you like some cheese to go with that wine.
Thank you. This is excellent resource. I would like to come back and donate. I have saved this to my nitric oxide playlist. While the functional foods side of NO is obviously excellent, it seems to me that this type of breathing exercise is an essential and important technique for the Nitric Oxide rEvolution in health for the 21st Century 💖🙏🏼💖.
Hi! Thank you for your wonderful videos. I enjoy learning from your videos. Do we exhale through the nose during humming? Or the mouth? Does it matter?
Dang, but this works! I gave it a good tryout on my walk today, doing the breathing/humming each time I took a rest stop. I get intermittent claudication walking, with pain & weakness n my calves forcing me to stop & rest for up to 5 minutes every block or so. With the breathing/humming, my calves recovered in about half the time, and after a couple of rounds I was able to walk almost twice as far before the pain set in. By the time I'd done 800m I felt I could have walked much farther. As a singer, I have a couple of suggestions for the humming, based partly on my training, but also from experimenting on my walk. First, use an open-throat hum. Your lips will be closed but your mouth should be open inside, your jaw and throat open and relaxed. You'll know you're doing it right if your nose tickles! My understanding is that it's that tickly tingle in the nose that actually generates the nitric oxide. Second, based mostly on how it _felt_, I think the humming may be more effective the higher you pitch it. I started off on a low note, which was comfortable and quiet enough not to be embarrassing. But as I tried humming higher and higher (and louder!) the tingling got stronger and stronger, until by the time I hit around middle C my whole head was vibrating! I don't know, but I suspect if you get it so your ears are tickling too, your body may be making even more nitric oxide by stimulating all your "pipes." Anyhow, it really does work. I had heard vaguely about humming helping circulation, but hadn't given it a serious try until RU-vid tossed this video at me. Thank you!

Hi. Mike , i appreciate your breathing technique though it is popular here in India as Bhramari Pranayama, of ancient practices. I want to know where and how it is related to Nitric oxide generation 15 times. any article or documents or research work you got to know from any any part of the world. Well informed. Kindly answer my above query, i shall be grateful to you.
I did the exercise many times and I don't feel any change or improvement :/ Do you have tried the Wim Hof breathing method? That is very powerful but I don't know if it increase the nitric oxide.
Hi, can I ask you something? Could you do a video with just the exercise part but for a longer time? Whith the sounds of breathing and humming for guiding with just the sounds. Thanks.
Thank you for your help and support the community,. how many times a day to practice for people with high blood pressure?,. Is there other version for out door running exercises? Thank you, Unconditional love🎉
0:47 I mostly listen to videos as audio. As an audio listener, when I heard 1500 “times”, my bullshit detector came on and I went and got ready to skip then block this bullshit from my algorithm. But I watched the video section and it said 1500% which is 15x not 1500x. Probably not enough people in my same boat to matter, but just passing this information on just in case.
Question; when doing the extended exhale, are you keeping your mouth closed and exhaling thru your nose as you hum or do you exhale thru your nose and mouth as you hum? Thx :)
Yes he forgot this vital piece of info ! I am doing this through the mouth as in Yoga Pranayam (ooohhhmmmm). It's not really humming. Oooohhhhmm is a superposition of vibration and exhale.
Wonderful video. Well thought out and produced. Very impressed. I'd mention that people should aim for a quiet breath in and out of the body. This is key to reach deeper states in the body and mind. Your cue for the video to breath in and out is super helpful but some may take that as a sign to breath in with that same sound. The most ideal functional breathing (during the day) is silent and invisible, so it's good to practice the silent aspect.
@@user-on7zd8yi8g Silent breathing is a good indication to yourself that your breathing is not labored, that you are not over efforting in your breathing. Healthy and functional breathing is subtle, soft, relaxed and invisible (considering your metabolic needs are low like watching TV) This means the body is using the breathing to keep your body in a state of rest and digest and that the overall systems of the body (the main ones like digestion, circulation etc) are working optimally.
I have been doing various humming exercises like this these for years, i use it to keep my voice in shape for my singing and voice expression and to keep the airways clean. BUT, you claim 15x Nitric oxide. But you don't prove this, why. If it is true just do a before and after test, you know you can measury N O, right? I will always been doing this kind of exercise, among many more breathing and voice exercises but i am not into making up claims like this without backing, that you are showing here anyway. I mean everyone knows slowed breathing through your nose raises NO, but if your exact way of doing it is having this exact effect and you know this for a fact, then prove it, otherwise it just sound like unsupported claims. And by the way, if you do the hum tone in to a scale exercises you will develop your voice control at the same time. It works great and seems to be way more effective than just doing the standard one tone hum version.
Let me get it straight? You inhale for 4 seconds, hold it for 4 seconds and while exhaling for an extended 6 seconds you hum? 🤔 I don't get it? You can't hum and exhale the air from your mouth at the same time, because humming works only if you are tight lips. Upper lips pressed against the lower lips, the air that you want to exhale can't come out of your mouth. Can someone explain it to me?
Why doesn't the clip show him actually doing the breathing? They hid it, we only hear the voice. Is he embarrased or something. Also in the original Bramhari Pranayama you 're suppossd to close your eyes and ears. But I am sure this method is effective too
Hello, I was wondering...I do With Hoff method and I breath in through the nose and out through my mouth. I wanted to ask you if you think it is too much nitric oxide in a short period of time? I do 3 rounds... any thoughts on that would be greatly appreciate it!
Hope west does not call Indians savages. India is the mother of all civilizations. Hinduism is mother of all religions. Sanskrit is the mother of all languages. Kalahari n yoga is the mother of all excercises. Malayalam isvtge mother of all south Indian languages.
Don't hold your breath! Holding your breath leads to high blood pressure and increase sympathetic arousal. Breath holding is already a problem because people hold their breath when they are looking at computer screens. Breathe holding on purpose will just exacerbate the problem.
Yeesss that's the real....I do my method combination training+ NO breathing+ cold exposures it's Amazing !!! Your Chanel is so educative 🙏 I live in Trieste,Italy.
Confused a bit. If you are supposed to be breathing in the nitric oxide into your lungs, how does the 1500 times nitric oxide production benefit you to hum as you are breathing out thru your mouth (per your example)... or even your nose for that matter... That doesn't get to your lungs.
Sorry - this is not how Bhramari works (and that is the right spelling btw). If one wishes to do it right, follow any Indian yogi who knows what they are talking about. The exercise is less about the sound, and more about concentration.
I have tried this and it seems to work. Naive question. What I don’t understand fully is how humming when you breath out boosts nitric oxide in the body. Is simply that it boosts nitric oxide on the next intake of breath, hence the breath holding?
If N.O. increases 1500% the person would die of heart attack for sure. It does not exist an increase on this rate…what does exist is someone trying to get views showing absurd numbers.
Thank you. Nitric oxide is good for mens sexual drive so I do this because they say that mitric oxide regulates the flow of blood and the tone of smooth muscle, including that which is in the penis.
The exhale is not long enough for me...If I want to completely exhale until I need to breathe in then I need to exhale for approx 10 seconds. Is that ok? Not sure what I am doing wrong!
