Vocal Toning

Service Description

Are you feeling stuck energy or emotions in your body? Are you struggling with "letting go"? Vocal toning / chanting is an excellent practice for releasing any energies that might be "stuck" or held emotionally, energetically, or physically (tension/tightness). The Shruti Box (an Indian instrument) plays a droning sound that you can harmonize your voice with. This is not a practice of singing necessarily, rather allowing your voice to come through uninhibited. The instrument is helpful for allowing us to express any sounds that want to come through. I believe that toning acts as an internal and energetic massage - utilizing your own unique expression and vibrations to heal your own body, mind, and spirit. Toning increases lung capacity and heart rate variability. It helps with vagal tone which is important for appropriately managing stress and helps bring our nervous system into a calm and connected parasympathetic state. It is also great for balancing all of the chakras, but especially for clearing the throat chakra. When you arrive, we will do an intake and I will guide you on what to expect. You will then be guided through a private 30-35 minute vocal toning session. People experience an array of emotions during and after this extended practice. It's not uncommon to feel some anxiety, sadness, grief -- yet also joy, laughter, empowerment, and peace. Feeling all of your human emotions while also not getting too attached or fearful of them is the most important.
