When air enters your nose, the many small hairs in your nose immediately filter out larger particles. Air then proceeds to the nasal conchae where it is humidified and warmed, and at the same time, smaller particles are filtered out by the surrounding mucous membranes. Indeed if we use our nose properly, we will be able to appreciate this extremely sensitive organ.

The magic of sounds is that they consist of waves that can be more or less harmonized. If sounds oscillate uniformly, they create vibrations and develop a “resonance” in various parts of the body. Sound is waves of energy and this energy is like a stimulating and vitalizing micro-massage to your cells. When all the cells in your body vibrate in their optimal frequency, they work most effectively.

In 2002 a research group from Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, found that NO is formed and released in human sinuses. Further they showed that the NO concentration in the nasal cavity increases as much as 15 times if you make a "buzzing sound", because it creates vibrations, which mixes air from the sinuses with nasal air.

When you breathe and air enters your lungs, oxygen is delivered via your blood, to every cell in your body. Here, oxygen is consumed in the Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle), which is a cascade of chemical reactions involving the transformation of the food you have eaten to energy-rich molecules called ATP (the cell’s battery) by means of water and enzymes. A byproduct of this cycle is carbon dioxide which blood transports to the lungs where it is released to the atmosphere upon exhalation.

Let us take a closer look at the movement of air to your lungs and the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. If you close your eyes and take a couple of deep breaths, try to feel the air flow in your body. Where does air enter, where does it flow to, and how does it feel? There are two en try points for air: Air can enter through the nose or through the mouth.

The part of the nervous system that cannot be controlled by our will is called the autonomous nervous system. It consists of the sympathetic and theparasympathetic pathways that regulate the vital functions of the body. These can be influenced by inner and outer factors of both physical and mental origins. Both parts of the nervous system are con tinuously at work and do it in an antagonistic way to maintain a healthy balance
