water flowing from the mouth of a cave after a week of rain
Vickie Dodd, in her book Tuning the Blues to Gold, talks about sound creating a “vortex of transformation.” Whether toning in a group or alone, we can use sound to express what is present for us at the moment. We can whine, moan, bitch, hum, croon, shout, babble and ring our inner chimes. This kind of sounding creates a space to be able to listen to ourselves, to begin to trust the “words,” to let go and breathe. This sound bath nourishes the central nervous system.
TRY THIS: In the shower, with the rushing water for accompaniment, explore the sounds inside your body. What do your bones say? What muscles are constricted? How do they sound? What’s gurgling in your belly? What is beating in your heart? What opens the door of your back? Let your body communicate with you through sound, creating your very own daily vortex of transformation.
