Music and Vibration to Relax
Ever feel like you have a monkey on your back?
Is the traffic getting worse; or is it my imagination? Do you experience a time-warp every time you get on the computer? Is there any leftover time to sort mail, do laundry, shop for groceries and gas up the car?
So often, we get stuck in a rut and can’t find our way out!
You are not alone! I’ve talked with many friends, family and clients in different stages of life; they all get ‘stuck’ once in a while.
Feng Shui gives you ‘permission’ to get moving! Yes, much of the ‘getting unstuck’, is clutter clearing and arranging space, and yet, another component is to get in touch with your inner energy. If you are calm and rested, you can function at your best. It is necessary to find solutions to support your lifestyle – and get where you wish to go.
Did You Know: Music, tones and vibration can open up blocked channels in the nervous system that helps us relax. When we relax, our tone changes when we talk to others, and then, we can make better decisions/choices.
Is your home quiet? Too quiet? Or perhaps, noise in the neighborhood? It’s good to find a balance in the home; even white noise for long periods of time can be stressful. (!)
This transitional month is a good time to shift a few things in your regular routine to help you when things get crazy. A simple tone or vibration can do the trick.
Here are two examples to bring simple, healing sounds into your life:
- Have you tried meditation? Or, even mindful walking? The monks figured this out thousands of years ago!
If you initiate the sound AAHHmmm… it does several things at once:
- Relaxes tension in the jaw; relieves stress.
- Extends the exhale breath; getting rid of stale air.
- Provides a vibration through the nervous system; to help you relax.
- Provide a tone or vibration by playing a singing bowl. I have three bowls in my house; my favorite is the deep, deep base tone. There is a trick to playing these bowls: you need to drag the baton around the outside of the bowl with consistent pressure, and then, you can make them sing!
The vibration of a singing bowl can be very calming.
Benefits of bowl tones:
- Tuned to a specific frequency, forged using several types of metals.
- Has a consistent, mono-tone to connect with your body.
- Provides a vibration through your body and the environment.
Learning new skills is always a bonus! Before you purchase a singing bowl, be sure to check out the frequency to see/feel if you can resonate with that particular tone.
TRY AND SEE FOR YOURSELF! Don’t dismiss these options until you try them…
If the idea of vibration doesn’t seem to fit: Is it time to turn on the radio again?
- Listen to the classics from your generation and dance in the kitchen; always a great way to unwind.
Take time to look after your stress-levels: mindset, voice tone and attitude can make the difference of having a great day, or a not-so-great day.
Taking charge of what you CAN take charge of is the most important thing to recognize. If you don’t take charge of you, how can you possibly look after the loved ones in your life? Spouses, friends, children and pets all count on you.
Music and vibration is easy and it works! Give it a chance; let me know how it works for you.
I hope you all have a GREAT day!
All the best, Kathryn
