Scientific Effects on the Brain 1. Activates relaxation and calm EEG studies show that chanting Om increases alpha waves in the brain,the same waves seen in a relaxed yet alert state (like meditation). It slows down the heart rate and breathing, signaling activation of the parasympathetic nervous system (the “rest and digest” state). 2. Reduces stress and anxiety Chanting produces subtle vibrations that stimulate the vagus nerve, which connects the brain to major organs. This reduces the “fight or flight” stress response, lowering cortisol and sympathetic overactivity. 3. Improves focus and attention fMRI studies (e.g., Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018) show decreased activity in the amygdala (emotional stress center) and increased activity in the prefrontal cortex (attention, decision-making). 4.Amygdala activity decreases while chanting “Om”.. meaning your brain shifts away from fear or anxiety. 5. There’s increased activity in the prefrontal cortex, which helps with rational thinking and emotional control. 6.The vagus nerve gets stimulated by the vibration of the “mmm” sound.. this sends calming signals back to the amygdala, reinforcing relaxation. Regular chanting helps improve concentration, emotional balance, and mental clarity. #drdivyat #mentalhealthawareness #healthtipinkannada #mentalhealth
