toning.... giving self voice

toning ~~~~giving voice to buried feelings~~~~
this day as we journey forward on the path of life~ be aware of the places your physical body may be holding tension or pain~~ in a place that is safe & sacred to you( & as private as you require), visualize these physical tensions & pains ~ then give "voice" to the tension or pain.....(just open your mouth & allow the feeling to take voice in the form of a "tone" ,YES...... I realize this may be a challenge,take it step by step, sigh, moan, tone by sigh, moan, tone)~~ it may start out soft & grow very loud~~ however it comes, just allow and just be~~~
then visualize these space/places of pain & tension in your body filling with golden white light~~ and allow this to surround you and fill you, smooth & sooth you~~~allow yourself to release the old,
allow yourself to receive & accept a new way of feeling & being~~
personally I have had some amazing experiences of growth, healing & connecting with the earth,angels as well as Divine Source, while toning,for myself and others!!!
Sound healing/therapy is very powerful~~~ druming, crystal bowls, music in it's many forms.....
Sound healing/therapy is very powerful~~~ drumming, crystal bowls, music in it's many forms..... a voice.... yes mostly for me this has been done in private~~ but I have also experienced group toning sessions that literally blew me away... as in blowing out all the cobs so to speak.... very cleansing, very freeing, very releasing~~~~ realizing our "realself" once the inner stuff is let go of~~~
I have also encourage clients to tone, to give voice to stuck stuff to assist in releasing.
many years ago, when I was working & on the road more often, I frequently traveled to a certain area~~ every time, I drove through this area, I would hear this ancient rhythm in my head,feel it in my body, clear into my bones, at some point I realized/knew it was mother earth.... I was being requested to give voice to some very old grief held in this area/region~~ and so I opened my mouth & let it spill out as I drove, at first I was a bit shocked & embarrassed by the sound (just human) but being alone I just let it flow, and expressed this deep held grief of the earth....each time it was different, and some of the rhythms were quite beautiful, but I could never bring them back to mind when I would leave that area.... it was for that time & space alone~~~ very healing for myself as well, as the ancient beings of the earth.
I think of how often my generation and those before me, were told as children to be quite, to shut up, to not make noise, to stop crying, to not be so---------- whatever..... this is all still held in our cells, in our bodies, lets let it out....the time is now!!!~~~"for crying out loud" a phrase my dad used to speak, and I myself have repeated on many occasions....
yes for crying out loud~~~ how many times have we held back words that we really wanted to say in any given moment~~~ yes journaling is a powerful tool for healing & release..... toning is also powerfull, it takes it a step further, a step deeper~~ I give you "permission" to give it a go~~~ let the sighs flow~~~give yourself permission!!!
toning/sound healing is amazingly freeing as we journey forward~~~~
~~AHHHHHH OHHHHH EHHHH uhhhhhh~~~~
not sure how to start??? try a simple scale exercise:
do* ra* me* fa* so* la* te* do*
all of the Chakras have a note or tone associated with them~
root is C
creative is D
solar is E
heart is F
communication is G
brow is A
crown is B
if you have a piano or pitch pipe that's great, but you don't need them....
chanting, tone, drum....HUM even.... just let it flow~~
Let your body give voice to all the feelings you have buried away....
sure I fully realize it may not sound "beautiful" .....but it is ever so freeing~~~
love yourself, give voice to your buried stuff, even the love you have held back from yourself & others....it is all there~~~ give it voice TONE~ sigh~ moan~~ groan~~~ whatever form it takes
let it spill out your mouth~~~shine loving light to the sounds ~~
Being aware is the first step....recognizing the power of love creates a shift!!
Just sharing as we journey forward on the path of life....
hugs of love, earthdeva/molly <3
