Allowing Your life to Reveal
Itself to You
ÓLucid Blue Music 03/01/03
Many of the insights that I have gained in the process of developing
and teaching voice have a direct coalition to the process of allowing life to reveal itself to us.
Often when people come for a lesson they have an idea in their heads
about how they should or want to sound. I have found this generally true no matter
what the experience level or style of music they are involved in. Then when they have an experience of their pure sound resonating
in their throats without any preconceptualized ideas, they will often have a huge heart opening because they experience a
part of themselves that is beyond any interpretation. The more we have an authentic experience of ourselves it becomes harder
to live any kind of lies because the intuitive messages become stronger and just won’t let you be out of alignment with
yourself.
Sometimes when people come for a lesson, they will release trauma during
the session. If there is a pattern that is blocking the expression, the throat will close and I will ask them to sing right
where it hurts. Inevitably the emotions come up. Sometimes it’s really
young stuff, like a baby deciding they are bad and should keep quiet, It has often been past life stuff, ancestral or archetypal. Whatever the interpretation of the event the person’s experience is that they
have a very deep release. This started happening with some of my clients 15 years
ago. I think partly because of the depth of my own healing journey, the perspective
and space was open for them to go wherever they needed to find balance.
In allowing the voice to reveal itself to us as in life, it facilitates
the emergence of the feminine aspect. In the voice there are 2 main registers,
the chest and head. The chest register is what keeps the throat open and allows
for the full range of notes. The head register holds the quality of tone and
subtle nuances of expression. Both are needed in full balance to have a well
registrated voice working with complete ease and flexibility. When the chest
register becomes too aggressive as is often the case with a lot of popular music, the head register completely disappears. The creative act of making
music becomes totally driven and manipulated. We lose the quality, the beauty,
the subtlety, and the ability to drop into vast reservoirs of wisdom and unspeakable experience. If we become too aggressive with ourselves we can often lose the subtle clues which would lead us into
having a greater perspective of our life and purpose.
