My Writings
Welcome to My Writings!
Inside are stories of people who want to sing and grow beyond their edges. There are stories of the magic and wonder of singing and expression, and, what gets in the way of it.
Make a cup of coffee, take your time and have a peek into my world.
Chiaroscuro
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 are like trees…
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.
The Storefront & The Maze
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.
Tiny drops of sound, vibration & light
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.
Knowing when Enough is Enough
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?
High frequencies & The Ears
Voice exercises increase the higher frequencies in your tone and literally lift you up.
Sing & wake 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.
Vibrational medicine
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
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
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.
The Inner Medicine
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.
Freedom vs Perfection
Freedom can be found but not through the lens of perfection, it’s the other way around.
Perfection and precision can be found through the doorway of freedom.
After the talent show…
Being seen and heard can be wonderful if when the talent show ends the child’s talents don’t get taken up as a ‘cause or a mission‘ by the parents to get them out there to be seen by others through competitions etc. Respecting the child’s wishes, not talents, first and foremost.
The Voice is a Vessel
This new vessel is exactly what we ‘who are in enough pain’ are doing to birth a new way of being that is inclusive in nature and not the exclusivity of the Patriarchal consciousness but a marriage between the two worlds.
The Voice is a Reflection
This development of awareness and presence will be reflected in the singing voice. The more she is able to be in harmony with a larger field of awareness the more beautiful and full her voice will sound. It will reflect the connection.
A Battle of Wills
The musical 8-note scale is a reflection of the 8 levels of the human development of consciousness starting in utero.
If this is hard to grasp then you might think of it like the rings inside of a tree. Each ring is a level of development and has a certain frequency and corresponding note associated with it.
It’s about the singing, and, it’s not about the singing
Singing brings a whole new paradigm of what is possible not only with the sound of your voice and its potential but your own capacity to grow and let go of what you have come to believe about yourself, which is false. So false.
We are terrified of the sound of our own voice for reasons that don’t make sense anymore and cannot hold up to the light of our awareness anymore. It’s not our voices we are really afraid of, it’s who we are and what we are capable of.
Harmony - Two or more notes coming together
Just like everything else developing a skill for singing harmony takes time for the harmony to begin to be instinctual and natural. Most people are drawn to the melody and not the harmony part.
Over many years of working with singers I became very curious as to how to really help people to change this habit of being pulled to singing only in unison.
The Climb
As much as the work is the connecting to the body, at the same time there is a letting go of each part that is woken up and turned over to the silvery light of the voice. This wind then blows through the body without the body hindering the flowing power in any way.
Finding the support to sing
The singing voice teaches the body a new way to contain and express energy, power, authenticity and aliveness. Experiencing these vital ways of being through singing can imprint a knowing in our body that is supportive not only for our voice but for our lives.
