Hey,
Welcome back to my Insight Timer.
My name is Nia.
And if this is the first time that we're practicing together,
Welcome.
And if you're coming back for a practice,
Welcome back.
In today's practice,
I invite you to join me in a vocal toning exercise.
And so in this exercise,
We are working with the voice.
We are working with song or humming.
So if there's someone around you,
Maybe let them know that you're probably about to make some beautiful songs You're about to create magic with your voice.
Let them know.
Or if you are alone,
That also works.
However you like to show up today,
Just coming into your practice in a way that you need.
And so with the voice,
The voice goes all the way back.
All the way back.
We as humans use it to join together in community.
We use it to process love,
Grief.
You know,
Anger,
Frustration,
Use it to experience joy.
The voice can be so transcendent.
And another great thing about the voice is if you are feeling like your communication is a little off,
Like your message is not getting clearly through to people or you're not really resonating with what you are saying and maybe other people aren't resonating as well.
You know,
The voice song is such a great tool that we are gifted and we can work with it to clear this channel on the throat chakra.
And in this process,
I would invite you to not be too hard on yourself.
I love Beyonce,
We don't need to sound like Beyonce today.
But whatever you are working with today,
However you are,
I welcome you to really show up however you are.
In this moment.
All rest.
I have a little guitar thing that I put together.
And if you'd like,
You can.
Repeat after me,
And you can also go off in your own tangent if you want to start doing some Raha Kari,
You're welcome to.
But I invite you to repeat after me,
And we'll begin with sitting upright.
Just letting your shoulders drop.
If you need to prop something behind you,
Like a pillow,
Please feel free.
If you need to be reclined.
Showing up as you need.
Slowly letting the belly unclench the shoulders,
Moving away from the ears.
Maybe your chin draws just ever so slightly towards the heart center.
Feet can be on the floor,
Cross-legged.
And then together in practice,
Finding a deep breath in.
And a deeper breath out.
We breathe in together.
We clear it out together.
And another one from the deepest part of your belly.
Filling up.
All the way.
And exhaling.
Letting it all go.
So I'm going to put my headphones on so I can hear.
Alright.
Join in when you'd like.
Feeling the vibration.
Noticing where you feel it.
You don't need to hold it as long as I am.
Okay?
So how was that?
Just noticing how your body is doing.
How are you?
What do you feel in this moment?
Maybe you feel some tingling,
Some sensations,
Just noting where they are in the body.
And don't worry if you're feeling like you could do it better or you could do it a different way.
Just doing it as you need,
As you are,
Coming in as you are.
All right,
Let's go.
Oh oh yeah aaaaaaaaaaaaaa Oh.
Oh Oh.
.
.
Oh.
.
.
Some birds that are joining me.
Okay,
So noticing how you are.
We'll go back lower in this final round,
Coming back to a bass.
Coming back to a steady,
Closing pace.
Um.
.
.
Really vibrating deep.
Mmmmm Really feel it.
You Feeling in the belly.
Taking a moment to feel,
To soften into the body once more.
What do you feel?
You can tune into the sensing body.
Where do you feel?
Any new sensations,
Any new experiences.
Are there any colors associated with this experience?
Taking a moment to return back.
Into your space.
And so I am really grateful to have practiced with you today.
This vocal toning exercise can be done any time of day.
So whether you'd like to return back to it at a different time of day,
That is perfectly your choice.
And if you really enjoy this practice,
I welcome you to leave a review.
