You have probably experienced the phenomena of sound toning, or even vocal toning and maybe not even realised it. Have you ever experienced that inexplicable trembling sensation tracking down your vertebrae as a potent vocalist's voice permeates the air? There's something almost magical about it, right?
That sensation is a testament to the sheer and raw potency of sound—a dynamic and captivating force that has the immense capability to not only heal our bodies, but also to profoundly transform and uplift our overall state of well-being.
And here's an exciting revelation: this formidable power isn’t exclusive to those with breathtaking voices; it's a treasure that resides within each and every one of us! The practice of vocal toning stands as a testament to the time-honoured powers of sound therapy, a practice steeped in ancient wisdom and traditions.
Today, as we look to the past for forgotten knowledge, vocal toning or sound toning, is experiencing a reawakening, catching the attention of many for its simple yet effective approach to self-care. This technique is straightforward, highly accessible to people from all walks of life, and, what's even more compelling, it's a practice that has garnered a wealth of scientific backing.
The crossroads of tradition and science reveal that vocal toning isn't just an art form—it's a science-backed methodology that can yield a multitude of benefits for our health.
Studies have shown that engaging in this practice can bring about profound improvements across various aspects of our existence, nurturing our physical, emotional, and even spiritual dimensions. The harmonious frequencies generated by our own voices can soothe our nerves, balance our mood, and create a sense of inner peace that is deeply ingrained in our nature.
Vocal toning, also known as sound toning, is the practice of producing sustained vocal sounds, such as vowels or simple tones. It is the conscious creation of extended vocal sounds. Unlike singing, which often involves melodies and rhythms, vocal toning focuses on the resonance and vibrations of specific sounds. It's about harnessing the power of your own voice to create healing vibrations within your body
While vocal toning is an ancient practice, modern science is beginning to understand how it works. Studies have shown that vocal toning can:
● Synchronise brain waves to achieve profound states of relaxation
● Help clear energetic blockages
● Reduce stress and tension
● Improve breathing and lung capacity
● Boost the immune system
● Increase energy levels
● Improve emotional well-being
● Enhance voice quality
● Stimulating the vagus nerve, which triggers the parasympathetic nervous system, inducing a state of relaxation and calm
● Releasing endorphins, our natural painkillers and mood lifts
● Creating vibrations that resonate with our cells and tissues, promoting healing
● Increasing nitric oxide, which can reduce blood pressure and slow heart rate
A study published in the Journal of Music Therapy found that vocal toning frequently induced shifts in attention, awareness, and consciousness. Participants described feeling "meditative," "calm," and "relaxed" after vocal toning sessions.
Your voice is a unique instrument, capable of producing a myriad of frequencies that can bathe your body in healing vibrations.
According to sound healer, Steven Halpern, PhD, sound acts as a “carrier wave of consciousness.”. Jonathan Goldman, another sound healing expert, simplifies this concept with his formula: Frequency + Intention = Healing. This implies that a pure intention combined with a pure tone creates the right conditions for healing and transformation.
Vocal toning allows you to tap into this power and direct it with intention, creating a symphony of healing within your own body.
I have been a professional musician for periods in my life. And really do understand the power of sound, and what effects it can have on the body. When I discovered using tuning forks as a healing modality, I was amazed at the healing qualities sound had, from the clients I was serving at the time. But I wanted to go deeper.
Then I discovered Jonathan Goldman and went through his course on sound toning, and never really looked back. I used to practise the vocal toning once a week for a few years, and found myself feeling so clean and vibrant inside. It was amazing to feel the real power of sound as a healing modality, using my own voice. It was incredible.
Ready to experience the transformative power of vocal toning? It's easier than you think!
Here are a few simple techniques to get you started:
This technique is excellent for balancing and opening the heart space.
● Sit comfortably with your eyes closed.
● Inhale deeply through your nose.
● As you exhale, hum a tone that feels natural to you, keeping the tone steady.
● Repeat for several cycles, finding a new tone with each exhale.
Different vowel sounds can resonate with different parts of the body:
● "A" as in PRAY: Clears the throat region.
● "E" as in BE: Energizes the head and brain.
● "AH" as in FATHER: Centers the heart space.
● "O" as in KNOW: Stimulates the solar plexus.
● "U" as in WHO: Grounds the lower back and spine.
● Sit comfortably with your eyes closed.
● Inhale deeply through your nose.
● As you exhale, tone a vowel sound of your choice, focusing on its vibration in the corresponding area of your body.
● Repeat for several cycles, experimenting with different vowel sounds.
Bija mantras are seed sounds associated with the seven chakras, energy centres in the body:
● Root Chakra (Muladhara): LAM
● Sacral Chakra (Svadisthana): VAM
● Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura): RAM
● Heart Chakra (Anahata): YAM
● Throat Chakra (Vishuddha): HAM
● Brow Chakra (Ajna): OM
● Crown Chakra (Sahasrara): AUM (or silence)
● Sit comfortably with your eyes closed.
● Inhale deeply through your nose.
● As you exhale, tone the bija mantra for a specific chakra, focusing your awareness on that chakra's location in your body.
● Repeat for several cycles, working with one chakra at a time or moving through all seven.
● Find a quiet and comfortable space where you can relax and focus.
● Begin with short sessions and gradually increase the duration as you feel comfortable.
● Focus on the vibrations of the sounds rather than trying to sing beautifully.
● Experiment with different tones, vowels, and bija mantras to find what resonates with you.
● Be patient and consistent with your practice, and you will begin to experience its transformative effects.

Are You Lacking In Willpower?
