Mind-Body Healing with Vocal Toning


This afternoon we had our fourth free toning and chanting group at Healing Music Enterprises in Louisville, Kentucky. The group was very eager to understand all the many things that toning can do for an individual. We reviewed the five different primary vowel sounds, the three postures, and the three pitch ranges. We also reviewed the difference between toning with eyes open and eyes closed. The power of toning continues to amaze me. Within two minutes of moderate toning on an "OOOHHHH" or "AAAHHH" we all agreed the we were as calm and relaxed as if we had taken 5 mg. of valium! Toning is powerful. It is the best way that I know of to catapult yourself directly into the present and out of the past or future.



If you live in the Louisville area you are cordially invited to our final four classes which will be every Saturday in June from 2-4 PM. No experience is necessary. Bring a drum if you have one. If you don't, I have several. Just let me know that you're coming please! Hope to see you there!

The Power of Toning for Vibrational Healing


I've been doing a lot more toning recently and am powerfully aware of what a mind-altering experience it is. For example, in our last toning group I asked everyone to just do some slow, deep breathing for two minutes. I set my watch in front of me and we all did slow, deep breathing for two minutes...those two minutes moved soooooooooo slowly and we all agreed we were thinking about how much time had elapsed, primarily. Then I asked the group to add a tone to that slow deep breathing for another two minutes. We did that and could not believe how fast the time elapsed! Why is that? I believe that when you tone like that, your mind and body absolutely disappear and you are in an altered and healing state of mind and being. What do you think?
