Speaking in tongues...

I can do this. Or at least I do something that various religious types have claimed is speaking in tongues.
And yes, I can get a nice tingly rush from doing it if I put feeling into it.
Sounds like a real language but is not. Completely voluntary and very easy. Lots of folks I've talked to can't duplicate it...or end up repeating a couple of sounds over and over (when trying at speed).
Had it since I was a kid, and I reckon what it is...
is a psychological trick. I dont' believe it to be anything special beyond a damned convenient way to sing when I don't have proper words or a way to focus my mind in a healing session perhaps.
