Humming Hour

Vocal somatic resonance to support the integration of ease, confidence, and flow into the areas of our lives, where stress has been prevalent in our patterning. The current new moon in Ta**us supports the introduction of cultures of surrender and acceptance. By accepting things as they are, we allow ourselves to receive that which nourishes us. By choice and through practice, we release the negative energies that come with stagnation in the flow of our energy fields. With full presence in every breath and sound, we are offered an opportunity to hone our intention as we apply our attention to the revitalisation of our energy bodies. Remember, where attention goes energy flows.

Four principles of how many sound vocal somatic resonance practice:
1. Relax. 2. balance and align. 3. Active gratitude. 4. flow

As sound amplifies intention, the above four principles ensure that this practice has a healing effect. By taking this time to practice functioning outside of ’flight, fright or fight’ mode, inspiring heart-brain coherence and remembering flow state, we activate the body’s natural drive to self heal.

Everything is in vibration, and our voice is the most powerful vibratory tool we have. Our bodies resonate with the intention we choose. We literally effect all of existence with every tone we make, internal and external.

Indigenous cultures have used sound as a powerful healing tool for millennia — how is that ancient knowledge being used for healing today?

Rock all your senses, especially your sense of self.

"when the self is rocked ... then there's a totally different kind of energy to keep the mind fresh, young, alive. And that can only come when there is absolutely no sense of the self. Right? Obvious reason... because the self, in me, the centre, is in constant conflict. Right? Wanting, not wanting, creating dualities, opposing desires. Mmm? This constant struggle that's going on! As long as that struggle is going on there is a wastage of energy. Obviously. When that struggle is not there is totally different kind of energy taking place." - J. Krishnamurti, 1979

One reason why humans love dogs is that they don't allow the small things to weigh them down! At Humming Hour we learn from our best friends how to shake it off, and go on with our day like a beast...

LEARN THE PERFECT DOG-SHAKE IN 3 EASY STEPS:

We begin with our ears (imagine them long and floppy), and we end with our tail (once again imagination -besides your dog - is your friend in this).

1. With a gentle twist, begin shaking your neck. Imagine your ears flopping and slapping your head and face as you shake your head from side to side.
2. Keep twisting and move the twisty shake down your spine, moving through all your vertebrae and down your back to finally shaking out your long flexy tail with a flick and a flip. Let every last drop of stress shake from your spine.
3. Repeat as needed.

This shake is specifically effective when practiced daily after any stressful interaction, or after a swim or a shower to shake off the water and the tension. Always be gentle & kind, and you will deepen your practice with repitition.
