Mindfulness of Voice

A key characteristic of meditation practice is the observation of this present moment without judgment, bringing a sense of kindly witnessing to whatever appears. Placing our attention on an object of our choosing develops concentration and, with that, some stability of mind.
Many of our sessions focus on noticing what's taking place with a particular experience: breathing, eating, listening, walking.
What is the felt sense in the body of each of these activities?
This week we're exploring the sensations around making sounds. Using the voice is something we do all day everyday, but we often take this ability for granted. We’ll have a chance to play with the actual sensations arising from the pushing of air past our vibrating vocal cords and how these sounds resonate throughout our bodies.
For those of you who may think this is a singing exercise and have some trepidations around your personal abilities, fear not! We’re not mimicking the young lad in the picture.
It’s a simple exercise that everyone who has spoken a word can do.
