If you feel dizzy, hear ringing in your ears or start feeling anxious, stop and breathe the way you normally do. Safety and limits

Headphones make this easier 🎧.

Sit comfortably. Don't hold the voice back — the sound is part of the practice.

Where to focus: keep the breath in the belly. Hold your attention in the body. The inhale is passive and light; the exhale is active, with effort.

How to breathe: an ordinary inhale through the nose — then a long exhale on a sustained vowel. Try different ones: "ah", "oo", "oh", "ee".

A lot of tension leaves with the sound. Notice what holds your voice back — in the body and in the feelings.
