What is Toning?
Toning is the creation of extended vocal sounds on a single vowel in order to experience the sound and its e!ects in other parts of the body.
No melody, no words, no rhythm, and no harmony - just the sound of the vibrating breath. It is a simple yet powerful technique, accessible to everyone regardless of vocal ability or training. Through
Suitable for:
Open to anyone who wants to learn how to use voice to vibrationally activate, heal and harmonize your entire being and the planet. Each session we will set an intention for the circle e.g. healing, harmony, ease etc.
No experience or singing talent required. Anyone with vocal cords can do it.
​VOCAL TONING
With vocal toning you can immediately experience the e!ects of sound on your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
By literally massaging your body and mind from the inside out, meditative toning can help you focus and relax; release energies; reduce stress; and improve stamina and concentration.
Toning synchronizes the brainwaves and helps relieve tension within a few minutes. Toning is also a wonderful technique for developing your voice-ear connection and enhancing your power of listening to everything around you.
Most of all, toning restores balance and harmony to the mind and body. It can help you awaken and deepen your sense of self, and align you to the deepest vibrations of soul and spirit. On the path of toning, you move toward the source of your own inner balance, creativity, well-being, and freedom.

Benefits of self-created sounds (e.g. singing, toning, chanting, humming)

• Increased oxygen in the cells 
• Lowered blood pressure and heart rate 
• Increased lymphatic circulation - network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials. 
• Increased levels of melatonin – the ‘sleep’ hormone 
• Reduced levels of stress related hormones 
• Release of endorphins – self created opiates that work as natural pain
  relievers 
• Release of oxytocin, the ‘trust’ or ‘love’ hormone 
• Increased mental stillness and clarity
• Ability to massage your own body with sound
• Extension of the vocal range
• Increased stability of the voice with consequent improvement of expression and self-confidence
• Expanded awareness of one’s own posture and alignment

Who or what are you still trying to save?

I am loving the systemic constellations work and what the knowing field can show us. More often than not, we have lots of younger versions of ourselves who have taken on our parents burdens in order to either belong and/or stop them from being hurt.

Even into adulthood we subconsciously still try and 'save' others and take on things which are not ours to carry to 'keep the peace'. This showed up for a client recently where she had unknowingly took on at a young age the hurt of her mother and fathers abusive trauma that they had experienced, leaving the client overwhelmed, going through the same abuse and not feeling supported herself no matter how much she asked and reached out for help.
.
The field showed that she was ready to receive that information and awareness of the burdens she took on and how that impacted herself and her family. She was able to lovingly hand that back to source.
.
You do not have to re-live or re-visit your traumatic experience. You CAN make a change, no matter what the story is.
.
Here is a poem that was shared by one of the amazing facilitators on the constellation conference. “Imposter Syndrome” by Suzi Tucker (one of the 1st generation trainers of the family constellation work)
.
Do you recognise yourself in any of this poem? What more is possible for you now?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Okay, it didn’t matter how many gold stars I collected when I was 5 years old. Pleased (puffed up) and then ashamed (deflated) was already in place. Because, you see, I’d pulled one over on the one doling out the gold stars, the teacher or aunt or baby-sitter, and I would be caught at some point.

The relationship with my imposter, was well established, maybe at birth — not a syndrome, a relationship. The little one who understood belonging, who understood love, to be highly conditional. I see her clear as day, putting on a smile that doesn’t quite mask the fear in her eyes. She whispers, I will earn my belonging in order to survive. I will do it well (as defined by other) … though it is too much for me.

So, imposter syndrome? No, imposter is a part of me, the one who tried to take good care of the big ones who were frail and angry or sad, the part of me who your kept secrets even though she didn’t understand their meaning, who answered the door when the big one was drunk, or who lay perfectly still in the tiny bed not making a noise when strangers visited — or who became the smartest in the class, the best at, the most entertaining, the strongest, the truth teller and lie detector, everything, anything, except for the tiny girl simply skipping freely in the breeze of childhood, stomping through the mud, scraping her knee on the rough sidewalk of 181st street, and tearing her pretty dress.

The important ones needed tending to, and though she was unable, had no idea what she was doing, how to make up for or fill in, she did it. To survive. To keep from falling into others’ sadness, to keep from being punished, from being banished, forgotten, disappeared.

You see, the tasks came to her through the bloodstream, only rarely words, and the words were usually of guilt not of freedom. These roles were impossible, unbearable. It is not possible for the little one to hold the weight of those behind her, directly at the kitchen table, Mother, Father, Grand or Great, or in the back fields in Poland or Hungry or Indonesia, Nigeria, Turkey, Honduras, the United States. It is not possible, and still we take it on because it is there, the thick rope of belonging that we are given or pick up or are entrained by. And then we know, immediately and forever, that the promise we make, we cannot — and should not have to —fulfill. I will do it for you is not in the mirror but in the faces of others."

In this way the Imposter has deep roots, is not simply a weak part of us, but reflects a vulnerable part of the familial community for which we think we can compensate, and which we cannot abandon. We are under the impression, suffocating under the impression, that do it differently is to abandon. The Imposter forges ahead even as she stays behind.

The truth is, my Imposter from long ago has no idea that time has past, that I have grown. And, not knowing this, when life shows up at the door, a fresh image at the threshold, she comes out, my sweet reflex. She drums at my heart. It is too fast, the little one’s beat, anxiousness thrumming throughout my chest. I must tell her, It’s okay, you can rest. Sit beside me. I have room for you. Look with me: mirror, mirror on the wall, here I am after all." - Suzi Tucker (www.suzitucker.com)

ABOUT
This EP has been compiled as a vehicle for Yee Ley’s healing voice. Participants at her live sound baths have expressed that her voice has been the most transformational element of the sound-scapes and have requested more of this on the Sonic Tonic releases. So here it is, layers and layers of sounds, created using only Yee Ley’s voice and showcasing her vocal range and versatility:

Track 1: The Call
The track consists of 8 layers of voice, and is the only track on the EP that has e!ects applied to the original voice recordings.

Track 2: A I O
AIO is Maori word for peace
​This track carries inspiration from the land of Aotearoa (New Zealand). It is an acknowledgement and thank you to the land and to all the beings that have supported Yee Ley’s mahi (work) in Aotearoa, New Zealand. There are 26 layers of voice recorded; toning the vowels A, I, O individually, and an additional 11 layers of sounds, created using Yee Ley’s voice. Sound inspirations include: purorohu (bull roarer), pūtōrino (bugle flute), and kererū (NZ pigeon in flight)

Track 3: Release
Again featuring only Yee Ley’s voice, including a background track of 21 layers of vowel toning, harmonic overtones appear between and within the layers. Overlaying this background track, are 10 melodies and vocal expressions.

Track 4: Deep within
The deep ‘monk’ sounding vocals are all Yee Ley’s voice. No modifications or manipulations are applied. This lower range of throat singing (aka overtone singing) spontaneously came through Yee Ley at a sound bath event whilst she was playing a crystal bowl - nicked named the ‘Buddha Joy’ bowl. This background ‘monk’ chanting of vowel sounds contain 8 layers of Yee Ley’s voice. This is the only track on the EP that contains a non-human voice, which is the fairy chimes playing gently in the background.

2020 Vision
The tug of war between light and dark
Is the polarity dance that has been for eons
What seems to be a game of push and pull
Was actually a source sparked inspired initiation

Planets created and cycles were born
From the fabric of the templates divine stated
The pieces to play the game of life
Impulsed the story lines that seemed ill-fated

Many platforms created and stories were told
That echoed and imprinted across the lands
The spectrum of the e-motions that we all played out
Well the earth is certainly not labelled bland!!

'The world is a stage' and that we forgot
As our roles consume our reasoning
The stories that were handed down have blinded our plot
Propelling reason for more treason-ing
💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡
The time has come for the next plot twist
As the chaos hits the fan
Conscious explorers of the 'all there is' 
Have been demanding a different plan

And so it is, and here it has come
The actors on earth have been given time to review
The space to question and time of contemplation 
Of what we actually came to earth to be and do

What seems like lock down and pains of separation
Is actually the space to see
To acknowledge what was and what actually is
And to consciously choose what will be

The hurt and drama of yesteryear
Has been handed down many generations
The grief and sorrow that fuelled our actions
Now is required to be freed to cleanse our nations
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
'The hunters are being hunted'
Only to be set free
By the white hats of consciousness
So that we have the option to flee

From this polarity dance 
That we're all tired of
The templates are a bit worn
The game of 'not enough'

What will you be inspired to be and do?
If you knew there is a new game beyond all of this goo
Where you knew that the Universe has your back
And that no-one has to believe in lack

Open, honest and vulnerable we'll see
With our roles being challenged, who else can you be?
Wobbles we'll experience that is for sure
As our foundations are rocked, and shake us to our core
🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏
Know that love is reaching for you
Beyond the skies and all you knew
For source/universe/god is wanting you to know
That suffering is not what we came to be and do

This is a moment for us to shine
And move humanity into the sublime
We seem to be good at rising up
So can we do it now without the dramatic plots?

What more is possible for us to see?
Where it involves us all, the unseen beings and plants and the trees?
Know I'll be there to hold your hand* 
As we raise the vibe and walk these lands
​
For there is a place where you can breathe
That has golden honey with the birds and the bees
There are a few that know it's there 
And they'll be waiting for you with love and care
🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
With loving kindness <3
Yee Ley - March 2020
