Toning Sounds for the Body

Meditation ~ Sunday 7/24/22

As stated during the intro of each meeting we utilize a variety of meditative techniques from different traditions.  Today's theme was partially centered on "Management".  To facilitate this intention we incorporated the use of sound and tones to harmonize different body parts and muscles.  Here's a full list of the sounds and associated body parts that can be implemented at home or in a group setting.  In today's meditation we covered a portion of the list.
