😊Don’t misunderstand me! I love sound healing instruments, all the sounds, all the possibilities, the child like joy of playing with sound,
BUT
✨remember, that your voice is an instrument too!
If you are a sound “healer” rather than someone that is only interested in sound for performance, then you owe it to yourself, and your clients/sound bath participants, to begin to sit more fully in your own sound and resonance.
Removing fear around sharing our vocal sound with others is a journey, but once we get on board with it,
via a short daily practice of humming and vocal toning, we start to get used to the sound we are making, and often that is half the battle!
We have all been so conditioned to see voice use as singing and performance, and all this has done is denied us for so long of the most healing vibration we have at our disposal.
YOU WON’T SOUND LIKE ANYBODY ELSE, IT’S PHYSIOLOGICALLY IMPOSSIBLE!
So maybe stop trying?
Yes, there are wonderful tuning forks, magnificent gongs and so much more, but your voice can make most frequencies and with careful delivery,
an interweaving of voice and instruments, something profoundly heart centred is created.
I work with my voice in many ways these days, from using it for energy diagnosis and placing sound into the body, to leading mantra and chant, but I remember years ago, when I used to offer sound baths, I would always work with my voice in and around the other instruments,
AND that was the sound that everyone commented on afterwards!!!
Sometimes, they didn’t even realise it was a vocal sound, I would sound simple vocal tones with the gong, with the bowls and more.
Sometimes, they said it was like a lullaby, soft and soothing.
They didn’t know, they just felt.
There is something about the human voice that makes us feel. This is the key to healing.
Whether feeling the discomfort of embracing your unique vibration and watching the fear start to melt away, or feeling the vibration simple vocal tones land into your nervous system during a sound bath,
the voice opens us to deeper presence all round. 💫✨💙
