Mindfulness Daily Check-In January 31, 2020
Hello Mindfulness Community People, I wish you all an amazing weekend 
Vocal toning 😲
As strange as it may sound, vocal toning is a special technique that reduces the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol. It works by exercising the tiny muscles of the inner ear that help you detect the higher frequencies of human speech that impart emotion and tell you what someone is really trying to say.
Sit up straight and simply make mmmm sounds with your lips together and teeth slightly apart. Experiment by changing the pitch and volume until you experience a pleasant vibration in your face and, eventually, your heart and stomach.
If you try this please come back and let us know how it worked for you 😊

@amiablePeace77 what calms me down is to do singing and improvising. It is sort of like Gregorian chant. It goes all over the place https://youtu.be/W-hrBhA4XkM
@soulsings
Thanks for sharing this chant Soul, it gives me the feeling of "surrender" in a positive way, very calming.
@amiablePeace77 Ami good post for the right time! So I was sitting in my computer room doing this and I didn't even notice the cats stopped playing around and 4 eye balls were at the door just watching. I know they were thinking was I losing it-lol.
But I do this at time when I find myself going right away to 10. Like a bad 10. It makes me so focus on my inner me. Pay attention to that deep sound Im making within myself. I love doing this
P.S. my kids think I'm nuts
@RumpleSteeleSkin
Maybe your cats felt calmness, inner peace too when they heard you
. I find cat relaxation music calms me as human too. Glad you enjoye the exercise. Not sure about the termin "bad 10".
What about inviting your kids to do it with you?
@amiablePeace77 I try a lot doing mindfulness with my kids. Works for one of them but my other it's hard as she is autistic. But I have plenty of faith we will find what works for her
@RumpleSteeleSkin
I am glad that you have so much faith. Faith is the nourishment in life.
Does this also work when singing? I often sing along to my playlists when I drive to decompress from the stressful work day, or hum to myself at home when I'm feeling unhappy. Could this be why?
@betterchoices
Hope you have not too many stressful days. Singing is an awesome idea to counteract stress! It releases endorphines, the feel good hormones.
@amiablePeace77
I tried this and you are right it made me feel something different. I do not know how to explain the feeling it gave me. It was a new experience.
Thanks
@scarletPear1945
Nice that you tried it. I find when trying something out new either I can say straight away how it felt but also sometimes I need to do it more often to be able to put it in words.
This list helps me when needed https://www.psychpage.com/learning/library/assess/feelings.html
@aiablePeace77
Thank you,
I saved the page for future refferences.
Welcome new members to the group.
We are glad to have you here.
@calmMango9611
Hi Mango, nice you checked in.
I often take to deep breathing and mediation to calm myself down. I practice mindfulness thinking as well to keep things from escalating.
@ContentnessIGuess
Nice, it's very mindful to take care that things are not escalating. I believe it can often be avoided by mindful thinking.
I tried it
@HappyDucky8
Awesome, how did it go?
@amiablePeace77
it was ok. Something I could do while driving!
@HappyDucky8
Never thought about doing it when driving, but that's a good idea, thanks for sharing!
