Day 2: Toning for Healing - recorded Jun 12, 2024

Song Practise: Universe Show Me PDF

“OM” Work …

• Practise some of the vocal warm-ups we went over in class. Ha ha ha ha ha, He he he he he, etc. And Waterfall, up and down the scales in one smooth sound joining multiple notes. Remember to connect with those deep breaths all the way down to the pelvic floor to start strengthening your connection to these important muscles involved in singing.

• Play around with singing our shared song from class, “Universe Show Me”.

• Sing and tone out in nature, or at a river or stream or ocean shore. Visualize golden rays and threads of light showering down on you, as you share the codes of light. See the codes being received by the water and sending blessings in ripples out to the areas in the world that need it. The energy will know where to go, just hold your intention and vocalize that frequency.

• Practise making sound without singing… eg. whistling, humming, buzzing, lip trill

• Contemplate, “What limitations, or limiting beliefs do I have either consciously, or subconsciously surrounding my voice, or singing?” Write any down that come to mind to review in class.

Happy Toning Alchemists!!!

Day 3: Quantum Healing through Sound - recorded Jun 19, 2024

Song Practise: Make up your own 4 line rhyme, that acts as a mantra or affirmation to support your mental and emotional state throughout the day. Eg. “I am happy, healthy and strong, I love myself, I will live long.” Add a little rythmic flow or melody to accommpony it. You may find after repeating multiple times in a row, a melody naturally starts to form with the affirmation. Plan to share your affirmation with your fellow alchemists in the next class.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I bring to class?
⭐️ A shaker / rattle or drum for percussion practise. A pill bottle with  lentils or pills can work in a pinch. 

⭐️ A warm cup of tea, or room temperature water for hydrating your body and your instrument. Licorice, ginger, chamomile, and green teas are great for soothing the throat and vocal chords, or throat coat teas which have a combination of these ingredients, with added slippery elm.

⭐️ A journal and pen

How should I set up my space?
⭐️ A candle if you would like to set a ceremonial space for yourself. 

⭐️ Create a space where you are able to make noise and sound without feeling like you need to filter yourself. If others are in your space, or home, let them know you will be working with sound and vocal expression on Wednesday nights. Give yourself permission to create sound, and maybe even inspire others through your own journey. 

Will I be singing in front of others in class?
Because this journey is offered online you will be able to explore your voice without the pressure of being heard by others. Then when you feel ready to be received by the group, you may unmute yourself during sharing opportunities. I feel this level of being within ones own container and space supports us in releasing fear of judgement, or of being heard; while gaining tools and confidence for sharing within a group, or in front of others.
