Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Dr. Kevin Skinner describing a simple humming exercise that activates the vagus nerve (the head–heart connection) to reduce anxiety and promote calm. The speaker guides listeners to hum, notice resonance and throat tingling, and frames the vagus nerve as the body’s "brake" against fight-or-flight responses.

There were times I would actually put my head up to the side of her head and together we would hum. Might sound strange, but go with me for a ride here. Okay. Try this. Go. V. I can't. Do you feel it? Do you feel that? Yes. What it actually does is it actually activates our vagus nerve, which actually helps us calm down. The vagus nerve is like the break of the body. So anxiety is fight or flight. But when we access the vagus nerve, which is really the head heart connection, you literally do that for head and you can actually feel it. You start to resonate. You might have a tingling in your throat. It's a really simple exercise to help calm down.
