Humming, that natural sound reminiscent of simpler times, offers a way to engage our nervous system positively. It serves as a tool to activate the vagus nerve, our key player in the parasympathetic nervous system responsible for aiding our body in reaching a state of rest and relaxation. I explain how the vibrations facilitate a calming response, providing a sanctuary of safety for both the mind and body amid the chaos we often experience.We explore the science behind humming, revealing how it lengthens the exhalation phase of our breathing—a crucial element in calming the nervous system. Given the significance of the exhale in the breath cycle, this simple act goes beyond just sound; it becomes a method of releasing tension, slowing the heart rate, and clarifying mental fog. Additionally, I present research from Lund University showing that humming can increase nitric oxide production significantly, creating a cascade of health benefits that enhance circulation, immunity, and overall vitality.As we connect humming with the practice of chanting, I highlight the shared vibrations and intentions that both techniques harness to ground us. We draw parallels between humming and various forms of sound-based healing, emphasizing how these ancient practices resonate with contemporary experiences of anxiety and restlessness. The power of sound to transform our mental state becomes a focal point, reminding us that it's nearly impossible to occupy anxious thoughts while emitting a soothing hum.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

1 Samuel 16:14-23Music is medicinal. It calms, soothes, and lifts our weariness. It also delights and entertains, and helps us to forget our problems. Like the English poet William Congreve said—music has charms to sooth the savage breast, to soften rocks, to bend a knotted oak.

This weekend our Global Outreach team welcomes Stephen Jones, one of our ministry partners from London. He is a pastor and counselor, serving West London as a window to the world. In particular, their counseling services open doors to communities that might not otherwise consider the Gospel. On Sunday morning he will present more details about how he and his wife are caring for their community. As many know, counseling is about walking with people through the wilderness of their lives.

In Normporn: Queer Viewers and the TV That Soothes Us (NYU Press, 2023), Karen Tongson presents an irreverent look at the love-hate relationship between queer viewers and mainstream family TV shows like Gilmore Girls and This Is Us. After personal loss, political upheaval, and the devastation of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us craved a return to business as usual, the mundane, the middlebrow. We turned to TV to find these things. For nearly forty years, network television has produced a constant stream of “cry-along” sentimental-realist dramedies designed to appeal to liberal, heterosexual, white America. But what makes us keep watching, even though these TV series inevitably fail to reflect who we are? Revisiting soothing network dramedies like Parenthood, Gilmore Girls, This Is Us, and their late-80s precursor, thirtysomething, Normporn mines the nuanced pleasures and attraction-repulsion queer viewers experience watching liberal family-centric shows. Tongson reflects on how queer cultural observers work through repeated declarations of a “new normal” and flash lifestyle trends like “normcore,” even as the absurdity, aberrance, and violence of our culture intensifies. Normporn allows us to process how the intimate traumas of everyday life depicted on certain TV shows—of love, life, death, and loss—are linked to the collective and historical traumas of their contemporary moments, from financial recessions and political crises to the pandemic. Normporn asks, what are queers to do—what is anyone to do, really—when we are forced to confront the fact of our own normalcy, and our own privilege, inherited or attained? The fantasies, the utopian impulses, and (paradoxically) the unreality of sentimental realist TV drama creates a productive tension that queer spectators in particular take pleasure in, even as—or precisely because—it lulls us into a sense of boredom and stability that we never thought we could want or have.  Learn more about your ad choices.

PAUSE… Release each thought as you breathe, Watch them fade away so light, As you sink deeper into peace, And become one with the night. LONG PAUSE… Visualize a waterfall, With its cascading flow, The sound of water soothes you, And lets the tension go. PAUSE… Feel your body become light, As exhaustion fades away, Your muscles feel so loose, Everything will be okay.  PAUSE… As you drift into the stillness, Let your mind become more clear, Relaxed and calm and peaceful, There's nothing left to fear.  LONG PAUSE… Namaste, Beautiful

The energy from the moon,  Soothes every part.  PAUSE… Breathe and open up, To what can lie ahead.  Breathe to fill your cup, Let all the hope spread.  LONG PAUSE… You are not held down,  By who you were before.  You can choose anew, And open yourself to more.  PAUSE… The new moon is here to walk,  Hand in hand with you.  As you decide what you want,  And welcome in the new.  PAUSE… So feel the space expand,  Deep inside your soul. Be here with the stillness,  And align with all your goals. LONG PAUSE… What might you choose if you knew,  That you could have it all?  What might you do if you knew, There's no need to play small?  PAUSE… So breathe in deep and invite in, The courage and the will, To act upon the dreams you have, So you can feel fulfilled.  PAUSE… Slow down and soften,  Slow down and clear.  The energy surrounds you, The new moon is here.  LONG PAUSE… The walls that were erected, The stories that limited you, Are crumbling in this moment, Leaving space to build anew.  PAUSE… What will you call in? What will you allow?  The new moon is listening,  Don't worry about the how.  PAUSE… So let the dreams pour in,  And dance and twirl and play. What your life becomes, Is yours to decide today.  PAUSE… Slow down and soften,  Slow down and clear.  The energy surrounds you, The new moon is here.  Namaste, Beautiful
