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... I may try to stop and see what not singing is like sometime... 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... 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) 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
