Описание: Watch the whole video series here: https://www.voicebodyconnection.com/w...

Bet you didn't know you could release lung tightness! Here's how...

0:00 - Welcome to Lesson 3!

0:06 - Why tightness in your lungs can affect your breathing.

0:26 - Guided tour of how to touch the lobes of the lungs.

1:20 - Lungs & breathing practice. (This practice is inspired by my training as a Somatic Movement Educator of Body-Mind Centering®: https://www.bodymindcentering.com/). Step 1: Allow your hands to rest while you feel the quality of your lung tissue in the upper lobes of the lungs.

1:47 - Step 2: Allow a breath in. It can be helpful to squeeze on the exhalation a bit extra to get a bigger inhalation on the next breath.

2:13 - Step 3: Tilting, moving, twisting, etc to "unstick" tightness in the lungs.

2:28 - Moving to the middle lobes of the lungs to do the same three-step process.

3:10 - Moving to the lowest lobes of the lungs to do the same three-step process.

3:37 - You can also release sound while you do this.

3:50 - It may be strange to connect with your lungs in this way and feel like an esoteric exercise, but it will help immensely!

Have you been experiencing voice loss? Perhaps because you got sick with COVID-19, RSV, the flu, or another virus. Perhaps because you’re dealing with the ongoing symptoms of long COVID. If you’re struggling with coughing and wheezing, this can lead to a weak voice and trouble sustaining sound or a note. And certainly if you’re experiencing vocal fatigue, tightness, and tension, this training is for you.

Join Elissa Maas Weinzimmer, vocal health educator and founder of Voice Body Connection, for a five video series that will walk you through what to do when you lose your voice. You can use this sequence as a post-COVID vocal health protocol, a voice & immune system reboot, and a daily tension release practice. We’ll cover how to steam your vocal cords, a practice to release lung tension so you can breathe better, a sequence of simple tension release and laryngeal massage exercises, and some gentle humming and vocalizing to get your voice back in shape.
