2 Ways to Use the Sounds of the Holiday to
Soothe and Connect with Your Soul
I must be honest, the core message for using our sense of hearing eluded me until yesterday. During a women’s business meeting we talked about our program for schools on mindfulness. My colleague reminded us of how breathing in and then vibrating a sound brings you into the present moment and helps the body to calm.
Stay connected to yourself through your sense of hearing as you listen to
“music” of the season.
Think of your favorite holiday song that brings a smile or happy memory? This holiday season really “listen” to your favorite holiday music. Focus on the words, the melody, and the rhythm. As you sing or hum notice how it brings you into the present moment. Watch what happens to your body and mind.
Benefits of humming:
- Has a very strong impact on the body.
- Is grounding. It slows down your thoughts and brings you into the present moment.
- It brings down the stress response.
- Calms your nerves as it activates the parasympathetic nervous system.
- Promotes more clarity of mind (good before you ask your inner guidance what’s next

Listen to your “voice” and others:
- When you hear your “inner voice”. Are you hearing and feeling “all is well”? You feel good about the sights, sounds and your to-do Or, are you listening to your body saying it’s time to stop? Or, do you hear I’m tired, I don’t have enough time, etc. Listen carefully and shift your inner voice when needed. You intuitively should be listening to your intuition to guide you.
- Tune into the joy of young children as you hear their glee and anticipation.
- Listen with an open heart to family, friends or someone in a store wishing you well or expressing gratitude.
- When you want to keep your inner sense of peace or want to regain your sense of balance take 10 minutes and step out of the outside clamor. Close your eyes, shut out the noise and listen to whatever is uplifting for you. Maybe your favorite meditation or music or listening to an energy shifter like Intentional Magic to reclaim or keep your inner balance.
I love this quote from an ezine by Julie Umpleby. “Explore your own inner shopping mall to reconnect with the ultimate Divine essence and the spirit that animates our very being. Your personal shopping mall opens the doorway to the mystery and magic of your own inner light, the expansiveness of your inner universe, and the source of your personal wisdom.” Diamondlightworld.net
