From Sing and Hum 

Hear the Sing and Hum Bumblebee song

So Queen Bee taught me this song. 

Throughout the ages the voice has been recognized as the most effective instrument for healing purposes.   The voice carries healing energy, and when we:

Sing and Hum Bumblebee
Find your inner harmony
Bumble Bee’s Sing and Hum
Hum, Hum, Hum, Hum

When you hum Bumble Bee
You can overcome anything.

When it’s hard to move around the hive,
my buddy bee’s push me from behind.

Sometimes we all need a push of inspiration when it gets hard to move through life's challenges.  Music has been used for centuries as a healing tool.  Music has measurable physical effects on the body.   Certain types of music may actually lower blood pressure and heart rate, and help regulate breathing.  

Sometimes they are so hard to please, 
But I can HUM when I am teased.

Humming can make a difference in mood and memory.

“Music and the Brain" by Dr. Daniel G. Amen states, "Consciously focus on humming during the day.   As the sound activates your brain, you will feel more alive and your brain will feel more tuned into the moment."

It was hard at first learning to fly,
Wanting to feel free in the sky.

Recent research indicates that a wide range of early music experiences have a powerful effect on the pre-school and kindergarten age child, influencing language development as well as increasing concentration, and physical coordination. 

Tangled  in flowers, I feel to the ground.

In a case study of 59,000 patients, 97% stated that music really helped them to relax during surgery and in the post-operative situation .

Then I heard in me that soothing sound.

Sound has beneficial effect on the nervous system.  Studies have shown some incredible effects music has on chronic pain.  Suffering from back pain, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and pain from injuries may be eased through using music.   Burn victims seem to experience less pain when music is used during treatment.  The cessation of pain can perhaps be attributed to music’s ability to flood the nervous system with endorphins.  Music and sound may even stimulate the glandular system to help fight off infections. 

In the grass and clover I’m free and merry,
but it can also be very scary.

Sing and Hum Bumble Bee offers the healing journey a shift in perception for both the caregiver and the children, from fear and isolation to a joyful, meaningful time spent in a positive, creative way, shifting pain and discomfort to Singing and Humming. 

I’m a big big bumble bee,
but there are things bigger than me. 

The Greek God of Medicine, Apollo, playing a golden lyre, was also the God of Music.  In ancient Greece there was a saying "Men have music as Physicians for Pain". Perhaps the use of sound is a gift bigger than all the aches and pains in the world...and we have this gift within us...let's use it...and teach children at an early age to "Sing and Hum".

I’m flying home very soon,
Queen Bee says,

Don Campbell states, music is nourishing.  It inspires us, relaxes us, and energizes us.  Music makes us laugh, sing, dance and celebrate.   It heals and keeps us well.  Your own inner sound system, your ears, your voice and choice of music or self-generated sounds, is the most important instrument for healing.   Singing is the best form of illness prevention.
