Voice Meditation for relaxation & connection

A 6-minute voice meditation recorded with singing bowls and the riverdrum in Granada, Spain together with musician Matteo Crugnola.

How to do the practice?

Take place in a room where you are not disturbed. You may want to light a candle and sit on a meditation cushion. Make sure your posture is straight and your facial muscles are relaxed. Your hands are laying on your knees, on your belly or heart.

Play the recording on headphones or stereo speakers.

Every melody is sang twice. You may want to repeat the exact melody, hum on one note or sing a harmony on top. Even breathing together with the rhythm of the melody can be beneficial. The aim here is not to copy the melody perfectly, but to take 6 intentional minutes to connect with your voice and breath.

What are the effects?

✧ Feeling of relaxation & stress reduction by activates the parasympathetic nervous system
✧ Supports vagus nerve stimulation through slow breathing, vocalization, and rhythmic sound
✧ More efficient breathing by encouraging diaphragmatic breathing

✧ Supports emotional regulation by modulating autonomic arousal

Repeat this practice daily for a week to allow measurable calming and regulatory effects to accumulate.

Made with love, enjoy!
