Have you ever noticed how your sound resonates through your body when you sing, chant or hum? If you pay close attention, you might notice your sinuses, lips, chest bones, or even your hands buzzing.
When our resonance is fully awake, we can feel the healing power of our own voice, vibrating through our whole body.
These vibrations reach deeply inside of us and shake out old stagnant energy. They stimulate our nervous system to relax, and activate calming, creative brain waves and neurotransmitters. Regular doses of singing and sound vibration clear new pathways for more joy.
Singing is a river of sound that travels from your heart on a wave of breath, clearing and cleansing as it flows.
We are made up of mostly water, and water transmits sound vibrations quickly over great distances. Our voice not only resonates through us, it also reaches out beyond our own singing body to touch others in our field, bringing us closer into connection with each other, the earth and the more-than-human world. This is why the word “resonance” carries multiple levels of meaning.
To sing with more ease and power, you must open up and surrender to the sound so your voice can flow like a river.
For many of us, this involves letting go of limiting beliefs, reclaiming our right to sing, and releasing years of tension.
Vocal toning is a gentle, effective way to open our voice and awaken our natural resonance. In Voices Wild, we explore toning and other practices to let those healing vibrations flow.
I love to guide other women to open their resonance and release their voice! It’s an incredibly moving experience to witness someone singing from her soul and truly feeling the power of her own voice for the first time or the hundredth time!
