Attracting Power of Vocal Harmonics

Vocal Harmonics, or overtone singing, is a way to sing 2 or more notes at the same time. The sound is quite ethereal and the effects upon the body is extraordinary. It floods the body with energy and draws the attention inward, which is great for meditation.

Mantra chanting is the use of certain vocal sounds for various purposes such as eradicating fear, increasing energy in the body, promoting health, attracting material prosperity, etc. The power of mantra chanting is not so much in the intellectual meanings of the "seed sounds," but rather in the practice of producing the vocal harmonics that can be produced during the periods of toning.

Here is a simple vocal harmonics exercise you can do, and it can be done in standing, sitting or reclining posture. However, it is best if you can sit with spine straight:

Begin by taking some relaxed, deep breaths. Fill the lower part of the lungs first. As you do so, the lower and upper abdomen will begin to expand. As you continue to draw in breath, the upper lungs will fill and you will feel expansion of the upper chest and back of chest. Exhale by deflating the upper lungs and then the lower lungs. Repeat 6-12 times. Stay relaxed and comfortable. Do not strain! Listen and be aware on the inside.

Now, as you continue to breathe deeply, upon exhalation begin singing quietly the sound of "OOOH." Make it a long, drawn out "OOOOOH."

While toning this sound, be aware of what is happening with the body; this is also an exercise in awareness. Listen on the inside while toning. Tone for as long as is comfortable. Do not force or strain.

Shift the sound back and forth from OOH to AAAH. Pay close attention to the transition sounds. Between breaths, relax, listen, and observe the vibrations in the body.

This is a simple exercise and in time you will discover how to create your own harmonics (sounds within sounds) with this practice. Try any of the vowel sounds while listening carefully during the transitions between sounds.

Have fun with this. It can change your life. You will learn to hear sounds and vibrations you never thought possible. This exercise is experiential. You will feel energy moving in your body, and you may even feel emotional "releases" occurring.

For those who are interested in the use of their own vocal prayers for use in healing or manifesting, try doing prayers as in the above exercise. You will soon be moving powerful energies that give power and momentum to your prayers.

In this simple exercise you will discover how breath and sound are intricately connected! For example: Om-Ah-Hum. Draw out the sounds and listen for the harmonics created. As you tune in to the vibrations of breath and harmonics, you will find incredible shifts happening in your lives.

Listen not only with the ears, but with the entire body. You will find yourself vibrating with the energy produced by your vocalizations. Pay special attention during moments when you sit quietly after practice. Allow yourselves to experience the "music of the spheres" as you ride upon the ever-widening waves of your expanding awareness!
