How cool is humming? I started doing it again after participating in a Buteyko breath training course. Mostly when I’m walking.
Here’s a great explanation of why it’s so important.
Especially if you’re feeling the beginning of a cold.

When you chant AUM, especially with that deep nasal “mmm” vibration at the end, you’re doing more than just making a sound — you’re creating chemistry.

That vibration inside your nasal passages and sinuses releases nitric oxide, a molecule scientists call “the miracle gas.”
Research shows that humming through your nose can raise nitric oxide levels up to 15x higher than quiet breathing.

Why does this matter?
Nitric oxide is one of the most powerful healing molecules your body can produce. It:
✨ Expands your blood vessels — increasing circulation and oxygen delivery to every cell.
🦠 Kills pathogens and strengthens your immune system.
🧬 Triggers cellular repair and supports regeneration.
🧘‍♀️ Calms your nervous system, helping your body shift from stress to deep peace.

In ancient traditions, AUM was known as the sound of creation.
Now, science shows it’s also the sound of cellular rejuvenation.

When you hum AUM through your nose, you’re not just chanting —
you’re awakening your body’s natural pharmacy, balancing your chemistry,
and creating the conditions for self-healing.

This is the essence of breath mastery —
using rhythm, sound, and intention to generate energy from within.

So next time you chant AUM, feel the vibration rise behind your nose,
breathe gently, hum deeply,
and remember: your body is listening. 🌬️✨

Don't just chase goals.
Look for enviroments that make those goals inevitable.

My first UK workshop here in my birthplace of Peterborough.❤️🙌

Who needs to talk to you today?

Do you have time to pause and interact with ‘strangers’ you encounter.😊

Maybe the young woman on the desk at the Va**na Museum in London and I, did today.

In the UK since April she recognised my slight kiwi accent and we chatted.🥝

Like gifting smiles whilst walking around, you never know the impact made when you are willing to take the time to chat.

If you’re ever here on this page, I’m glad we chatted, house sitting can be quiet.

I’m sorry I didn’t get your name, I already know you’re an amazing human, with so much to offer. 😍🤩

What’s fear anyway?
It’s a perception …

It’s the subconscious trying to keep us safe.
The ultimate outcome required for evolution.

Yet, it can be life-limiting, to listen to our subconscious trying to keep us safe from events or experiences that could be life affirming, exhilarating, life changing and add positively to our growth and experience. 👏🥳

When I woke this morning I never thought I’d cycle 20km in and out of the City of London, to Hyde Park.
I quietened the fear voice, and decided to give it a go!🚴‍♀️🙌

What a blast, I ended up soaked on the return journey through some of the busiest areas of London.
The cycling lanes are so good. 👍😁☔️🌧️🚴‍♀️

"And what is your life?
Your life is the study of you in power.
"When you tell me about your life, you’re telling me your journey of power: who took your power, who empowered you, how you’ve used it.
Power is the fundamental ingredient of the human experience".
Caroline Myss

Where are you losing your power?❓

Was it when you said yes, but meant no, or wanted to say I'll think about it?❓
Was it when you ate too much after making a commitment to yourself that you'd cut down?❓
Was it when you said, I'm happy if you are?❓

Being out of integrity causes us to lose power, to feel disempowered. We do this to ourselves, no one can do this to us because its a choice.✅

We feel it in our body when we feel tired, wake up feeling exhausted, constantly feel 'down'.😞'

Who needs to hear this today, share. It may give someone a nudge who needs a reminder.🙂

Truly inspiring ...
Age is no barrier to most things, including learning new things. 😍🤩
