For many people who have had moments of great conflict in their formative years (childhood or youth) or, sometimes as adults, they do not really want to listen to each other. What happened to them is that as individuals they began to selectively filter sounds, even not hearing musical tones, and perhaps today they are becoming a little more deaf.
We are all born with the ability to heal with our own voice. This quality of healing through voice can vary from the communication of our amazement just by hearing a beautiful voice, or the pure quality of a tone that affects the physical and emotional body of the person to whom it is addressed.
So what is happening?
We are all born to be able to do it, however, a large percentage of the general population believes that they are not capable of doing it at all, because they are still there. And so people who, in all other respects, are fully functioning as members of our society have their development imprisoned from childhood. My experience is that it is essential to discover your beautiful voice.
The voice is a natural part of our being! We have been given some incredible tools to explore our potential as human beings.
Another reason is that the voice is one of the main keys we have been given to access a state of communion with the Divine; understand and experience a natural relationship with what has been called sacred. Instead of using concepts and beliefs to try to elevate ourselves, we create that state where we experience much more of “reality.”
So here we have some of the reasons why it is so important to rediscover our natural voice. And, as we generally become more aware, we want to free ourselves from the limitations of these trapped and wounded aspects. There are also many other benefits to discovering your natural voice.
-Ability to access some of the higher aspects of ourselves through voice or through pure tones.
-Freeing your voice improves your ability to listen. -What is there to discover within you? Well, the ability to listen without judging, to listen without thinking about what you will say, or without wanting to jump in and correct or agree with the speaker.
-Being a true listener is like giving a gift to someone. When a person experiences the safety net of attention and focus that you create, they have the opportunity to express things that they have not been able to express any other time in their life.
-When we begin to access the purity of our own tones, we begin to be aware of the cues in the wind, in the sea, and in the song of birds.
It is currently known that high-frequency sounds charge the cerebral cortex.
-Your ability to “speak your truth.”
-The freedom that is experienced when you express your truth, whether it is simply saying “NO” clearly (and being heard,) or a set of more complicated emotional interpretations that are trying to communicate, and that you can feel within many other aspects of your life.
When a person feels that he cannot sing a melody in tune and hears about this idea of being able to sing in tune, he cannot conceive where he could begin to unravel his voice. The process, like so many things of this type, is actually very simple. The first thing is to relax. That implies that you laugh, move your body, feel free to moan, or make noises, or scream.
At this stage we are not thinking about tuning the voice. Since many people simply need to take off with sound at a general level, so the first thing to do is……….. Get the voice to take off.
The first sound you really focus on making is a deep moan from the heart. A full moan that reaches all the way to the belly and beyond, is perhaps the most relaxing sound the human voice can make. You feel it reverberating in your abdomen, even in your hands and legs. When people first moan, they probably find themselves needing to open their mouths! This sounds so simple, but when you’ve been nursing expression suppression for a lifetime, simply opening your mouth wide can be quite a liberating journey. Sometimes, even at this stage, people already experience an emotional release by releasing their natural voice.
