when i started acting classes at age 10, one of the things we used to do all the time to warm up was to lay on the floor and close our eyes, and the instructor would take us through an intense guided relaxation exercise.... my acting teachers have all been male and had these low, sexy voices that would just make you melt when you heard them talking softly.... the sound of their voice guiding me through the exercise would literally make my whole body tingle from head to toe, and i would get solid as a rock....
nowadays, i have a massive collection of guided meditations and relaxation exercises that i will lay back on the floor and listen to, and it has the same effect on me today as it did then.... it's so intensely spiritual for the sonic vibration of a deep and gentle voice to have that effect on me.... it's like my whole aura is getting a massage.....
