Inscription description
Take a deep breath, breathe / out a long hum. For the best / effect, hun different notes / with your mouth and lips / gently closed until you find / your own tone. / You will be able to recognise / this tone by a stronger / resonance and by the / fact that you can feel the / vibration of your own voice / in your back, stomach and / legs right doen to the soles / of your feet. / Everyone has their own personal organ vibration - the / so-called "tremor". Humming greatly stimulates the / tremor. In the early history of the human race it is likely / that humming was practised more even than dancing / singing, drumming and and whistling as a stimulating "tuning-in" for the entire organism. / An early witness to this is the humming hollows in the / caves found in Malta and the medieval cathedrals in the / South of France
