Toning Away My Pain

Here is a fountain in Pernes-les-fontaines, toning happily all day!

In the month of July, I was laid low with back spasms – twice, about 2 weeks apart. This meant lying prone, alternating between a cold pack and a heating pad most of 4-6 days each time. Toward the end of the first bout, I had to teach an evening class on the power of vibration to change one’s energetic state. I remembered that many sound healers talk about using sound to relieve pain. In my workshops, students have reported on many occasions that toning has relieved or lessened their pain. Knock on wood, I am generally very healthy. I have had no opportunity to try this on myself. Until now.

The body hears with every cell. Cells adjust their individual vibration to align with the vibrations of both internal and external sounds. I lay in bed, tuned in to the pain in my back and began to tone with the intention of riding the pain out of my body on the current of my voice. I toned for 5 minutes, then stopped to check in. I had been having rhythmic spasms constantly for 3 days. After toning for 5 minutes, I had no spasms for about 15 minutes. I began toning again, this time for 10-15 minutes. I had no more spasms that night and they stopped altogether the next day.

About 2 weeks later, I reinjured by back and the spasms returned. I did not have such dramatic results the second time, but after every toning session, my back stopped having spasms for a noticeable, blessedly pain-free length of time. Toning is not a substitute for whatever medical treatment may be necessary. I was also taking some drugs to help calm my aggravated back muscle, but it was only after toning that the spasms abated for a period of time.

Thank God the spasms have stopped and I am healing, but I will remember toning next time pain comes to call.
