Warming the voice is key to finding comfort in our own vocal sound. All of these exercises should be revisited before singing for a prolonged period. Before each of your daily Voice Medicine practices, please warm the voice for 5-10mins each day.
Practice 1 – Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra
This mantra is a simple way to soften the body, open your voice, and allow sound to move what’s been held inside. No experience needed. Follow your breath. Let the repetition guide you inward.
Om
Tryambakam Yajamahe
Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam
Urvarukamiva Bandhanan
Mrityor Mukshiya Mamritat
We offer our worship to the fragrance three-eyed Lord Shiva, who confers ever-increasing prosperity.
Please liberate us from the hands of deaths effortlessly as a melon is separated from the vine; please do not let us turn away from liberation.
Practice 2 – Chakra Toning Part 2
We return to our Chakra Toning practice and explore advancing the practice as we move the pitch up and down the scale of the Key of A.
We are able to do this within any key, if we use a fundamental drone and the 5th interval. We can therefore explore our range of feeling in the subtle energetic anatomy and how it feels moving within each of the different keys.
Integration: Listening Meditation in Nature
Find a place in nature, sit down and listen to the sound around you. Observe the details of what is around you, appreciate the beauty of Mother Earth. Feel the textures of the things around you. What do you smell?
Bring your heart to listen and perhaps a song will come through you to harmonize with the rhythm of nature around you. Feel free to journal or record your experience to share with the group. Enjoy your nature time!
