Sound Healing, Vocal Meditation, Coaching

The area of the body which houses the vocal machine and thyroid is known as the 5th chakra energy center.  The 5th chakra is associated with the color blue or turquoise and regulates our creativity and true expression. The neck is, in fact, a bottleneck, a narrowing of our body on which the head sits.  Therefore, it is also a location of a collection of great trauma, both personal and universal.  On the more personal level, we experienced being told to shut up or were invalidated or humiliated for speaking up.  Collectively, the human race has experienced the slitting of throats, chopping off of heads, hanging, and cutting out of tongues.  Therefore, the typical blockages that exist at this energy center tend to run deeper than one's personal experience and thus cause great anxiety and fear.  There is a reason people are more afraid of giving a eulogy than of being the one eulogized.  It takes courage and determination to work with the voice.  But the results have immeasurable worth.

The voice is also mirror of our mind. When our mind is impeded with judgments, doubts, or fears, it shows…or sounds…in our voice, whether we are aware of those obscurations or not.  Changes in the voice can come about as a result of our working on the mind, but also, changes in the mind can come about through conscious effort in using the voice.  Vocal Toning provides numerous tools to work with. It is a path of powerful self-transformation and one that includes and honors all faiths.

GOOD for BABY; GOOD for YOU!

"Letting the primate in you do the work of labor is a short way of saying not to let your over-busy mind interfere with the ancient wisdom of your body."  

Ina May Gaskin
Ina May's Guide to Childbirth

"A technique called toning, which is similar too humming, can dramatically reduce both anxiety and physical discomforts during pregnancy and birth, and even once the baby has come home."

Jill Hopkins
Welcoming the Soul of a Child

• Toning feels great, relieving both stress and pain! Set your inhibitions free and prepare your inner wild thing for birthing. 
• Toning promotes oxygen intake which is linked to improved attention, healing, and mental functioning.
• Aside from diet and proper health care, the first opportunity your child has to prepare for lifelong learning is through your voice!
• The ear begins to develop just weeks after conception and the sense of hearing is functioning at 18 weeks. The first sounds baby hears help shape the brain.
• Since music helps develop the cells in the auditory cortex, exposure to vocal toning may improve a child's later ability with language and reading.  
• And since math and music share closely related brain circuitry, toning can benefit your future Einstein here too.
• Music primes the brain's neural pathways and may even be critical for focus and later cognitive abilities.
• Neural firing patterns for music are similar to those for abstract reasoning.
