What is Toning?

Vocal Toning is the natural healing voice of the body. It comes from the body rather than the mind. We make these sounds all the time. We just don’t call it toning. A sigh is one of the body’s natural ways to release negative energy or pent up emotion it no longer wants to hang on to. A sigh is more socially acceptable in Western society than moans and groans for example, which are often discouraged. These are all natural healing sounds of the body to help bring it back into tune.

Think of the  sound aahhh as in “aahhh what a beautiful sight or feeling.” These aahhhs tune and tone your heart. Aahhh is very much a heart sound.

It has recently been discovered that a cat purrs as much to heal itself (or it’s owner) as it does when it enjoys attention. If you have ever held a cat when it is purring you know how much the purring vibrates its body and yours while you hold it. The sound of your voice does the same with your body.

When we express a sound in a singing voice, we put more energy behind the sound. This energy is focused by our conscious intent. It is my belief that sound, especially our own sound, is a carrier wave for consciousness.

Your voice carries every frequency of your body. To learn more refer to my article, “Tuning your Body with Your Voice” for how your voice can be used to bring harmony to your body.
