My vocal awareness practice on Jan 17, ’09

My vocal awareness practice on Jan 17, ’09 was unlike any other that I have ever experienced.

I practiced reading a new article and focused my attention on “seeing the nasal edge and the arch of sound” because I strive to project my inner energy outward. However while I was in the second aspect of the practice, I experienced a complete reversal of energy flow. Instead of projecting out, it soared back in.

My pitch became low, deep and heavy. Normally, I can easily make 5-6 words in one breath, but on this day I was only able to make 2-3 words at a time and I felt something push deeper and deeper into my torso. I was forced to slow down so I could continue with my practice.

Then at the conclusion of the practice the energy which has collected inside of me surged back out like a blast of small particles and absorbed into my cells. The feeling was wonderful, like a spray of cool water on a hot day. It felt fresh, sparkling, and bright.
