Love Your Body Tip: Playful Sounding and Savoring Silence

Experience your body in a whole new way! This month, Dance Through Life by exploring playing with sound and savoring silence!

Play with Sound

• Every day, consciously take some time to make noises
• Use emotion to activate sound to strengthen your lungs and free spirit
• Vary the tone to help keep your diaphragm and thoracic muscles strong and flexible
• Sing in the shower
• Express passion and pleasure while having sex
• Sigh with enjoyment when you’re eating food
• Scream with delight when good things happen to you
• Allow small and big giggles to emerge freely
• Laugh out loud
• Let your expressive voice and Sound be heard
• When you dance Nia, walk or run, use Sound to integrate breathing with movement

Then Savor the Silence

• Invite Silence into every hour
• The moment you feel tension, impatience or agitation, exhale longer and slip into Silence
• Listen to and savor the spaces in between the sounds of life
