You could tone for 10 seconds or a couple minutes and feel a benefit although the longer you are able to tone at a time, the greater the benefit will be in terms of relaxation of the whole body system and quieting of the mind. Dudley Evenson teaching toning, meditation and other sound healing modalities.

Do you start your day with a dose of news and then find it’s hard to get all that negativity out of your head?

At a teaching by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet, he brought ancient Buddhist wisdom into 21st century practical application when he described the Sharp Weapon Blade Wheel of Transformation. He explained that by taking our addictions (desires, wants, cravings, indulgences, etc.) and our aversions (fears, anger, enemies, frustrations, suffering, etc.) we can use their antidotes to overcome them. From his perspective, the antidote to addiction is meditation and emptiness. The antidote to aversion is compassion and love. He pointed out that the best place to begin is with transformation of the heart. This can also be accomplished by putting “others before self.” With so much fear and divisiveness in the world, these ideas are extremely relevant to us today.
