Toning has been
effective in relieving insomnia and other sleep disorders. Toning balances brain
waves, deepens the breath, reduces the heart rate and imparts a general
sense of well-being." Campbell reports that in his experience certain sounds
tend to have certain effects on the body and emotions. Ah immediately evokes a relaxation
response, Ee or Ay is the most stimulating of
vowel sounds. It helps with
concentration, releasing pain and anger.
Oh or Om is considered the richest of sounds, and can
warm skin temperature and relax muscle tension. Try toning for 5 minutes a
day for 2 weeks to see if it will help you.
In a similar way, humming can also make a positive difference in
mood and memory. Mozart hummed as he composed. Children hum when they are
happy. Adults often hum tunes that go through their minds, lifting their
spirits and tuning their mind. Consciously focus on humming during the day.
As the sound activates your brain, you will feel more alive and your brain
will feel more tuned in to the moment.
