聲音抒發
練自然禪時，在完全放鬆的狀態下，練功者會盡情地呼喊ヽ尖叫或吼叫，有的人會學狗叫，豬叫，有的人會引吭高歌，有的人會碎碎唸ヽ喃喃自語ヽ謾罵ヽ吼叫ヽ念經ヽ甚至想在念氣功六音訣一樣，發出比較複雜比較長的聲音。根據黃老師的觀察，這是釋放壓力、抒解精神憂鬱的一個很好的方式功法。一些精神疾病如沮喪、焦慮、譟鬱症抑鬱症（ bipolar disorder）精神分裂症（schizophrenia）的患者, 在盡情抒發後，一些上述所說的情緒失調症狀會慢慢的得到了改善。根據科學研究，壓抑在內心的一些情緒上的問題，如果沒有抒發出來，常常就會產生一些副作用，甚至讓人生病。但由於一般的尖叫ヽ吼叫以及是跟情緒有關的碎碎念，喃喃自語，常常被做負面的解讀，這樣反而讓情緒更加的壓抑。其實，當你你生氣，或極度不爽或者你遭遇到讓你感到恐懼的事情時，這些抒發是非常必要的。美國的哈佛大學ヽ史丹佛大學ヽ西北大學以及諾斯蘭學院等著名學府都有一個所謂的原始尖叫（primal scream）的傳統。這是學生在最艱困的時刻用來抒發情緒壓力的方法，就是大聲尖叫。有些基督教徒會在做完禮拜後大叫以感謝主的賜福(the blessings of the Lord).。日本最近很流行的尖叫舒壓其實也是同樣的道理。
黃老師發現有壓力症候群的人，常常伴隨著高血壓，平常腦壓過高，眼壓也同時過高，眼睛像貓眼一樣，中間一層白，所以看到人變成兩個影像。以為師姐當初來找師父的時候，因為先生突然過世所以他全身緊繃受不了。這是一種官能症。人家甲狀腺亢進是雙眼往外突出，但是她是單突。各大醫院治療但是無效，最後就是靠練功來改善。她練功的時候最明顯的的動作就是發出高音，她是在做腦腔共鳴。練唱歌的人都知道人體有五大「共鳴腔」（five resonating
chambers）：口腔、喉腔、鼻腔、胸腔、腦腔。根據黃老師觀察，腦腔共鳴是降低腦壓的一種非常好的方法。黃老師還發現腹腔共鳴對腸胃的按摩效果也非常大顯著。
如前所訴壓力常常危害到了一個人的免疫系統，特別是人的第一道防禦系統，抵抗病毒的自然殺手細胞（natural killer cells），因此壓力的釋放是練自然禪很重要的課程，在壓力釋放的過程中，練功者就會出現一些平常不會出現的行為，而唱歌、呼喊、大哭、大笑則是常常見到的。當一個人在森林輕鬆的氣氛下，腎上腺素開始減少分泌，人從交感神經掌控的活動中，進入副交感神經掌控的狀態，即從緊張的狀態進入放鬆的狀態，就會開始做出平衡身心的行為。平常上班工作時所受到的壓力，你與自然造物主聯繫上了，一些釋放壓力的行為。這種反應就是所謂的「水壺蒸汽」（kettle steam）理論。而聲音常常是一個非常好的宣洩管道。聲音抒發就是心理學家所謂的「最直覺的訴求」（most intuitive appeal）。
日本在大分縣的由布市，每年舉辦活動讓人們在森林中大叫來發洩心中的壓力。日本人甚至發明「呼喊花瓶」（shouting vase）讓人盡情的對著瓶口大叫，並將各種激烈的聲音轉化成輕聲細語從另一個瓶口輸出。以達到放鬆身心的目的。
練自然禪是釋放壓力、抒解精神憂鬱的一個很好的方式功法，所以在完全放鬆的狀態下，會盡情的哭笑或呼喊或吼叫等情形發生。會有此行為時，練功者不必恐懼，應讓壓抑的情緒完全發洩出來。
During the practice of Natural Zen, practitioners in a completely relaxed state often engage in uninhibited screaming, shouting, or wailing. Some people mimic dog barks, pig grunts, some belt out songs, others mutter, murmur, curse, chant, or even try to mimic the complexity of the six healing sounds in qigong. According to observations by Huang Laoshi, this vocal release is an effective method for stress relief and easing mental distress. For individuals experiencing mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia, after these vocal expressions, symptoms of emotional instability tend to gradually improve. Scientific research shows that suppressing certain emotional issues internally can often result in side effects, potentially leading to illness if not expressed. However, typical screaming, muttering, or rambling, which are often related to emotions, are often interpreted negatively, leading to more repression of emotions. But when you're angry, extremely upset, or dealing with something scary, this kind of emotional release is crucial.
Notably, singing has numerous benefits, as highlighted in a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Internal Medicine, which ranks singing as the top method for longevity. Singing in Natural Zen, however, is not about sounding pleasant; it often involves generating sound vibrations that resonate with internal organs based on individual needs and even creates vibrations in the cranial cavity, achieving what Huang Laoshi refers to as "cranial resonance." Thus, regardless of the type of sound produced during the practice, Huang Laoshi suggests that practitioners shouldn't fear this. Instead, they should allow their suppressed emotions to be completely released.
Huang Laoshi observed that people experiencing stress syndrome often have associated conditions such as high blood pressure, high brain pressure, and high eye pressure, resulting in seeing double images, akin to a layer of white appearing in their eyes. He narrates the case of a senior sister who initially came seeking help from a very tense state due to her husband's sudden death, leading to a functional disorder. While treatment from major hospitals was ineffective, it was through practice that improvement was seen. In her practice, she primarily produced high-pitched sounds, focusing on cranial resonance. It is known that the human body has five major resonating chambers: the mouth, throat, nose, chest, and the cranial cavity. According to Huang Laoshi's observation, cranial resonance is an excellent method to lower brain pressure. Furthermore, abdominal resonance has a significant and noticeable massage effect on the intestines.
Persistent stress often negatively affects a person's immune system, especially the body's primary defense system, the natural killer cells responsible for fighting viruses. Hence, stress release is an essential aspect of Natural Zen training. During stress release, practitioners often exhibit behaviors not usually observed, such as singing, shouting, crying, or laughing out loud. These reactions occur due to the release of pressure accumulated during daily work stress, leading to a connection with the Creator and an opportunity for stress relief behaviors. This reaction is likened to the "kettle steam" theory. Sound is often a powerful release channel and can be the most intuitive appeal for emotional expression.
In Natural Zen, practitioners often release inner pressure by loudly screaming, laughing, or crying during the practice process. In Yufu City, Oita Prefecture, Japan, events are held annually in the forest to allow people to scream and release pent-up stress. Japanese even created a "shouting vase" that people use to shout into, transforming loud and intense sounds into whispered words that exit from another opening to relax the mind and body.
Training in Natural Zen is an excellent way to release stress and ease mental distress. Hence, practitioners need not fear the occurrence of laughing, crying, shouting, or wailing in a completely relaxed state. Instead, they should allow their suppressed emotions to be completely vented.
