Endorphins

Published by wildaspie at 8:17 pm under Health Edit This

Endorphins are a class of hormone that produce good feelings and lessen pain.  Although there are many comestibles that can do the same things, nothing is better for your body than what it produces itself.

Two reliable ways of releasing endorphins are rocking and buzzing.

Rocking is a natural response to pain and distress, and the movement of the head encourages the release of these “happy hormones” into the brain and bloodstream.  A mother rocking her child, or a child that rocks hirself, are examples of this.

Creating a vibration in the skull will also release endorphins.  The meditative sound “om,” when properly made, buzzes the head in the right way to trigger this release.

Also, loud music with a heavy, rhythmic bassline – like that enjoyed by concertgoers and “rave” attendees – will also cause vibrations that release endorphins, which produces feelings of happiness, enjoyment, and well-being for those who experience it.
