Humming for Emotional Regulation

A workshop on self-regulation & humming

for folks who are both

Trans/Queer + Neurodiverse

Why Humming?

Life in late-stage capitalism,

techno feudalism is fundamentally

dysregulating. We do our best to

show up well for ourselves, for our

community...and we live within

systems that largely do not value

our internal peace and wellbeing.

Navigating the world as someone

who is neurodiverse and

trans/queer can amplify this

dysregulation: masking, over-

stimulation, rejection sensitivity,

queer/transphobia, internalized

shame...we often feel anxious,

overwhelmed, tense and generally

flooded.

Transmitting vibration through the

body by humming is a powerful

way to regulate the nervous

system and cultivate inner calm.

The fundamentals of this practice

are not new, and have ancient

roots in many, many cultures:

Hindu and Buddhist traditions,

practices among the Yoruba and

Zulu peoples, Shipibo-Conibo

traditions in the ancestral

territories of the Amazon Basin,

European Gregorian monastic

traditions, Nahu practices in what

is also called central Mexico, and

many other Indigenous lineages

around the world. The universal

essence of these vibration/

humming practices speaks to their

depth and potency.
