I have taught toning to many groups of people for many years.
It never ceases to amaze me that when people relax into the natural voice of their body and add a singing tone to this voice, they sound like angels. Every time.
Sound travels in a wave. It begins as a vibrational energy, like a knock on the door. However, it has to push atoms and molecules around in order to move. Every molecule in your body is physically moved by sound as it travels through you.
Yes, sound travels THROUGH you!
It is a PHYSICAL energy.
Sound can change how matter itself vibrates. Including you!
Your voice is not simple sound.
Your voice is accompanied by the light of consciousness, thought and intention.
It is THE most powerful energy in the universe.
Let’s take a look at the NATURAL voice of the body. These are sounds that come FROM your BODY – not your mind.
Try this. Put your hands on your upper chest. Feel the bones of your sternum and ribs under your palms. Take a deep breath. Feel the air in the bottom of your lungs. Now release the air with a long ahhhh. Like a waterfall. The way you would say ahhhh when you say, “Ahhhh, what a cute puppy!”
Other examples of the natural voice of the body are: Ahhhh, (that feels good); Ooooo, (how interesting); Ooooo, (I like that); Uhh, (lifting a heavy box).
These sounds, that you make all the time, actually stimulate the brain to release endorphins that help your body heal or manage pain.
And this is just the beginning!
When you add a SINGING tone to the ahhhh or the ooooo, you add the light of consciousness and intention. The sound vibrations in your body and the resulting health benefits are focused and amplified.
And…that’s when miracles happen and the angel appears.
The angel is you.
This focused, singing, natural voice of the body is called Toning.
We do it all the time – we just don’t do it consciously.
The following quote is from the book “Toning” by Laurel Elizabeth Keyes and provide some interesting information about your body and voice.
“The purpose of all toning is to restore the vibratory pattern of the body to its perfect electromagnetic field, so that it will function in harmony with itself. . . Sound is the meeting place of the abstract and manifested idea. . . “(p.10)
We create with words and sound. Almost all our actions and reactions result from words. It is generally accepted that we cannot think without words, or symbols, and that our thinking is limited to them. Words are tools. It is important to have a good selection at our command.
Beneath these words are the vibrations of the tone upon which they travel. Tone is the underlying force operating in our lives. To understand this, enhances our ability to create what we wish and to give form and substance to the ideas in our minds.
Ted Andrews in his book “Sacred Sound: Magic and Healing Through Words and Music” says, “Voice belongs to the physical body, but it is the instrument of the spiritual self. Being more than body, we need to learn to use it as a tool for higher consciousness and greater health.”
Humanity evolved KNOWING about the power of sound, not only as a tool for maintaining health, but as a tool for expanding consciousness.
We have FORGOTTEN what our ancestors knew about sound.
And that is a huge loss – for all of us.
