Yoda Posted January 16, 2008 Good question... just a wild guess... it changes the effects of the practice but sounds like a fun idea. At Max's workshop, they had us listen to music to help the standing practice flow better, but I haven't experimented with it much myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trunk Posted January 17, 2008 I find that the Taoist practices and singing complement each other wonderfully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayfarer64 Posted January 18, 2008 I sing all day long, from shower to bed, hum whistle play harmonica, I am usually emiting some sort of tune into the air around me... Â I may try to stop and see what not singing is like sometime... Â But in fact when I am doing my meditative and breathing exercises, I don't sing...I go for as silent and breath-oriented state as possible... Â hummmmm....

thelerner Posted January 20, 2008 Singing good. Even when its bad . You're creating inner vibrations, emotional expression and releases.. I can't think of any practice that doesn't have some level of devotional chanting. (whoops thought of 3) Â Michael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mal Posted January 22, 2008 hahaha You haven't heard me sing  Learning a martial art has decreased the complaints about my singing It had also stoped me caring about it if people complain However it (the singing) remains as bad as always. I too am a harmonica player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
