Feeling inspired after our Voice Webinar last night? Try a Voice Therapy technique at home! 🗣️

Take a moment to centre yourself, take a few breaths and begin to be aware of your surroundings and yourself within them. Focus in on your breath. Close your eyes and mouth and start humming on a low pitch, feel the sound resonate within you. Spend several minutes humming (ideally 5) and see how you feel.

Relaxed? You can learn more about the voice and how to apply it in therapeutic practice at our 2025 Voice Therapy courses: https://britishacademyofsoundtherapy.com/voice-therapy-all-courses/

Using sound to create atmosphere.

Our brains have evolved to respond to sound and music due to the way our brains have evolved over millions of years. Different sounds (whether they be music or nature sounds) can elicit different responses, so high pitched sudden and short sounds will stimulate the mind and body and low pitches will relax.

In sound relaxation people will use words such as ‘warm, rich and cuddly’ to describe the sound of the Himalayan singing bowls whereas the crystal singing bowls were found to be ‘cleansing, clear and cool’. We can harness this to create atmospheres for different requirements like treatment rooms, reception areas, or for winding down at home.
