Breathing into Sound

Leave the shallow breathing
Breathing into Sound Leave the shallow breathing behind and breathe deep into yourself, flush your body with oxygen, and allow the gateway of sound to awaken the flow of energy within you. Breathing deep conscious inhalations while toning and/or singing; even just listening to sound, can absolutely transform your state of being. Here we will have a short discussion about what deep focused breathing and sound vibration does to the body, how sound and breathing have been used in ancient cultures, and easy ways to use this simplicity to stay focused and centered. We will then partake in a simple breathing exercise, and extend that into a sound-bath, where you can tone, breathe, and allow the energy to flow freely, releasing what no longer serves. Austin Seay My name is Seay~ the acronym to remember is “See Everyone As Yourself.” I see everyone and everything as a multitude of revolving mirrors in which we experience ourselves to be. I am me because you are you. I have been a local sound practitioner to the region for over 10 years now, helping bring out the depth of our collective experience into awareness, as well as contributing as a public speaker, specifically specializing in human behavior and the nature of consciousness. I train parrots, and love working with animals of all kinds. I am an active musician, dancer, poet, writer, and an artist in many modalities. Co-creation with nature is what inspires and fuels my growth towards bettering myself and the planet we share. Appreciation is why I am alive and continue to thrive as a part of life itself. We are all this continuous gift, making up the present moment. #sound #soundhealing #archaicroots #healing #presentation #music #instruments @see.everyone.as.yourself #learning
