How to Use Toning & Breath for Meditation

We hope you enjoy this new Soundings Mindful Media Podcast where Dudley Evenson discusses how to best use toning and breath for meditation. Toning as a modern healing technique has only come into public awareness in the past few decades although as an ancient rite, it appeared in many cultures and eras.

With recent interest in sound healing, vocal toning naturally emerged as a useful tool. It is especially beneficial because it involves no musical instruments or high tech equipment, just the human voice. And it takes very little time. You could tone for 10 seconds or a couple minutes and feel a benefit although the longer you are able to tone at a time, the greater the benefit will be in terms of relaxation of the whole body system and quieting of the mind. Dudley Evenson teaching toning, meditation and other sound healing modalities. She and her husband Dean Evenson are sound healing pioneers and have been studying the healing effects of sound and music for over three decades.

How to bring more Nature into Your Life

Connecting with nature is so important for us all. Taking a walk in the forest, sitting by a tree, strolling by the ocean, sunsets and sunrises, fresh flowers, and plants really do fill you with a sense of ease and peace. Being out in nature is the best medicine for escaping the busy rush of our fast paced world.

Modern science also shows us that connecting with nature has an invaluable effect on our mental and physical wellbeing. It’s not possible for all of us to live out in nature and if you live in the city, it becomes more difficult to connect with nature. In this new podcast, Dudley discusses the unique and fun ways you can bring more nature into your daily life.

How to Deal with Stress in Your Life

In this new podcast, Dudley discusses the topic of dealing with stress. Everyone experiences stress. Do you also know that stress can be very contagious? Have you ever noticed that when you’re with people who are calm and relaxed, you tend to be more calm and relaxed yourself? The same principle is true when you’re with people who are stressed out and wound up. You tend to absorb their stress.

We also know stress can cause serious illnesses. It can also weaken your immune system. With this latest pandemic and worldwide quarantine, many of us are feeling a lot of pressure and abnormal stress. Some may be out of work and feeling financial stress. Others may be trying to work from home and take care of families in a crowded environment. People are getting on each other’s nerves. Some may feel ready to explode. Many are worried about getting sick with the virus or losing a family member. Imagine the effects of parental stress on their children. Young kids don’t necessarily understand what’s happening in the world, but they do feel the stress (or peace) of the adults around them.

There are all kinds of stressors — but here’s something interesting. Two people can experience the same exact situation and have a different reaction. It might have to do with family background. It might have to do with spiritual work they have done or not done. But this fact does indicate that it’s not the stress itself that is causing the problem. It is our individual reaction to stress that can negatively affect us. We hope you enjoy this new episode.

Dudley Evenson on Benefits of Letting Go of Attachment

In this new podcast, Dudley discusses the topic of letting go of attachment and how that can lead to more happiness in your life. Letting go can be very difficult but it is absolutely essential to moving on. There are many aspects of letting go that we need to address. It may be a relationship, or it may be an expectation, or it may be the loss of a thing, of something we treasured.

It is interesting to note that sometimes when we are truly able to let something go, it may actually return to us. That does not mean we should expect that to happen, but it might help the process. The main thing to understand about releasing is that without truly letting go, we are blocking opportunities and relationships coming to us that could be beneficial to us. Honest releasing makes space for something even better to come into our lives.
