The thing about music is that is has an intelligence that supersedes our limited capacity of what we know or don’t know if we can allow ourselves to follow the musical scent of beauty and freedom that it offers.

What I have learnt is that in teaching voice it’s not the voice per se that is the problem it’s that the students, singers don’t have enough ‘available energy’ to run their voice in a healthy way and free way.

If somewhere inside of you there’s a teensy bit of terrified excitement in you that wants to sing, now, there, right there that is the stuff that courage can help you to transform into a lions roar.

This is a process of purifying and transforming the charged energy inside the diaphragm and solar plexus from the fires of fury into the fires of desire and passion.

This is when real Choice comes into play.

When we allow the natural vital energy of play to move our body the nervous system switches us from a reactionary world to a world of comfort and trust.

Stability, grounding and home are one half of the equation which help us to feel that we belong and have a right to use our voice.

But if we are going to spread our wings and branch outwards trusting ourselves on our individuated path it is vital that we move beyond the need to belong and move into the awaiting esteem above.

Along the way an important arrival is developing in me, and that is the ability to love and care for all the crazy and beautiful feelings that happen upon me each day as I unfold and peel away that which cannot withstand the light.

Like the wide-angle lens of a camera we can move our awareness outwards to hold a wider energy field or inwards to focus in on a narrower part of the energy field.

This wide-angle lens of awareness gives us a wider view of ourselves and our environment that we are in and the tele-photo lens moves us closer to our physical body or to whatever is right in front of us.

Opening and releasing the voice is a way to heal the split that can occur between the mind and the emotions and is a beautiful way to recover parts of us that might have been asleep or numbed out before.

What’s also amazing about this is what is reflecting outwards through the voice is also reflecting inwards inside of a person, you could say it is mirroring this balance of light and dark.

We misunderstand the protective and natural choices we’ve had to make to twist and curl ourselves into an armchair, a car, a bed, a relationship.

People love it, they love her voice. This big voice that attracts people. Only she’s inside of a maze. Lost. She uses her big voice to get the space she needs by pushing people away with the sound of her voice.

It takes tiny drops of sound, light and vibration to widdle and burn away the grip of control that we have built up in us over the years.

How are you striving, pushing and working hard in your life and creating a one-sided conversation with yourself that polarizes you away from your basic human needs of connection and love?

Voice exercises increase the higher frequencies in your tone and literally lift you up.

The nature of singing is to penetrate in an outward way into space through what we know is the term projection, however it also penetrates (projects) downwards into the body disturbing and pressing into whatever is being held inside.

We are all being shaped by everything that is vibrating within us and around us and we are all making intricate patterns of our lives whether we mean to or not.

Performance Anxiety that comes from a deep hidden fear of being rejected and judged by the audience. It could be also called Rejection Anxiety.

Everything is a balance and singing reflects this.  A balance of fiery passion along with the flowing emotion.  The light on the water of our body, said another way it’s the intention of what we want aligned and lowered into our body of water that begins to change the course of accrued Time inside of us.

Over time and with much practice of meditation, embodiment work and the uncovering of the voice we can lower the water level of our awareness deeper and affect great depths with our intentions.

This vibration is mathematical in nature and therefore things in your environment need to make sense and sort themselves out.

Singing charges the brain. There is nothing quite like your brain on vibration from your own voice.
