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.
