Sing. As it turns out, your vagus nerve -- the main wiring conduit between brain and body -- can get in a snit and make you feel like hell emotionally.

But it likes vibration. All that Buddhist OM chanting begins to make sense. So sing, chant, recite, hum, intone, whatever. Just be resonant and make that vagus vibrate. A couple of minutes makes a noticeable difference. Longer works even better.

This is what I do too!! Never made the connections to chants as well, that’s so cool.

Great! Just want to mention that I misspelled the nerve name the first time. It's the "vagus" nerve, not the "vague nerve." :-)
