Your Voice is Your Medicine

We’ve gotten comfortable with yoga as a way to heal and connect.

We’re getting more at ease with meditation and we know it helps.

We understand that breathing is good—check.

We know that singing is healing for people who sing in choirs, and that it’s joyful. Singing solo is reserved for performance like karaoke, singing in the shower or the car.

So—what’s next?

It’s time to understand how healing the vibration of your own voice can be and what it can really do to support your body, your energy, your nervous system as a form of daily medicine.

And yet, there’s so much that sometimes gets in the way of doing something as simple as a hum.

We need to shift our conditioning—so that this simple act of humming becomes a tool we use to calm, to ground, to return again and again back to the body and out of thinking.

And for the record humming or toning is one of the best ways to get out of the excessive thinking.

And there’s something else—

You can’t really hear people breathe.

Yoga classes are often done in silence.

In choirs, you’re surrounded by others—everyone’s making sound together.

But when you hum on your own?

There’s no hiding.

It’s just you, your voice, your vibration.

Your medicine.

It’s just you, connecting to your energy field,

bringing your awareness back home.

And this is no small thing.

You start to feel the edges of your body.

The presence of your legs, your belly, your hips, your heart,

your throat, your shoulders, your head.

This is you—meeting yourself with love.

Then you pause.

You listen.

You notice what the sound has stirred in you.

Maybe your shoulders want to move.

Maybe your breath deepens.

Maybe you feel a little more space, or warmth, or tenderness.

And then—you carry on with your day.

A little more present.

A little more here.

Knowing you just touched something real with a simple hum.

And maybe, for now, that’s enough.
