Humming stone
The humming stone is a stone with a hollow, the so-called "humming hole". It is used to perceive the senses through playful experience with one's own voice through hum and resonance. If a person sticks his head into this cave / humming hole and exhales, humming deeply, the tones can get into resonance and thus generate vibrations that cover the whole body. The vibration can be felt with the hand in the neck area. The humming in different pitches triggers a stronger or weaker tingling sensation in the body.
Such humming stones are set up in systems to promote sensory perception, such as the "large humming stone" in the Herten Sculpture Trail , Adventure Field in Mannebach / Hunsrück , Rodenbach Sculpture Trail , Groß Gerungs , Park of the Senses , or, more generally, an experience field for the development of the senses according to Hugo Kükelhaus . According to Kükelhaus, such sensory experiences strengthen people's resources and sensitize them to perceive the environment and themselves more consciously with all their senses.
Stones with humming holes are said to have been discovered in pre-Christian catacombs on the island of Malta and in medieval monasteries in Brittany. They are believed to have been used for healing and meditation in various ancient cultures.
