Soothe Your Nervous System, Relax Your Throat

Feeling stress or anxiety? Join Natalie for a practice that will help to establish a baseline of calm and safety in the body. Using a vocal practice, singing using an "Ooo" sound, relax and open the throat muscles, allowing for more freedom of expression, and use your own voice to help soothe your nervous system and ease stress and anxiety. This works wonderfully, as a daily practice for nervous system care!

Transcript

Thank you for coming to be with me today.

I was hoping that we could sit and breathe together for a little while and calm our nervous systems,

This time by making an oo sound.

Not only is the vibration of our voice calming for our system when we make an oo,

But particularly the shape that we make with an oo relaxes all of our throat muscles.

So this particular practice is focused on opening up as much of our sound in our throat through an oo.

You can do this practice sitting up or lying down,

Whatever feels best to your body,

Giving yourself a nice clear,

Straight channel through your core for your breath.

Deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.

Really allowing any heaviness to come out on your breath like a vapor out your mouth on your exhale.

Inviting lightness and ease in on your inhale.

Having more movement of the energy inside your core.

You can continue breathing and just listen and absorb the sound or you can practice along with me an oo at any tone,

Whether it's an elongated pitch,

Whether you want to find where your voice fits along with mine,

Allow it to float.

Whatever feels natural for you,

Most nourishing for your body.

Continue to breathe deeply between sounds.

Focusing on opening and relaxing the throat while making sound.

I really enjoyed this

Wow that was so beautiful! I had a lot of anxiety when I started this meditation and now I feel so much better. I tried humming harmonies to your melody, which was a lot of fun and sounded so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world. I look forward to more of these meditations.

You have a beautiful voice. Very soothing. A unique meditation that helped soothe my throat and relax into. Thank you 🙏

Thank you so much, I had a sore throat and you really relieved it!!

Very interesting meditation. I will come back! Thanks very much.🔥🔥🔥

Buzzing and yet somehow also feeling relaxed and floaty. Calming and soothing 100%. Adding to my playlist. Thank you!

I'm usually skeptical of these kinds of meditations but this one left me feeling surprisingly good and lighter at the end of it. Thank you!
