Meditation, sound and voice

The presence of sound

 

​Working with the vibration of sound.

​

One of my favorite gateways to changing my own and others vibration is through sound.

We can change our vibration and our awareness through sound.

Sound is the way most directly connect with s0urce. Sound vibration is in everything -and to me sound is sacred and a part of our core essence being.

​

The name singing essence is a reflection of my sence of sound, song and singing being in everything. In ancient cultures sound was perceived as vibration in the net or the matrix and was a way of communicating with the earth and the universe.   ​

​​

I love working with the mix of conscious use of sound, movement and stillness.

​​

I will share a little about my journey with sound and meditation.

​​

I have always had a sense of sound- and especially the human voice- as being sacred.

I have consciously been interested in and worked in the field of song, sound awareness and the body and soul connection and in the psychology of sound and voice since I was 20 years old. This in various ways. As a singing teacher, as a speech therapist, as a physical trainer with deep relaxation and working with movement, with various meditation and sound techniques.

​

In my seminars and courses, where I use my own mix of movements inspired by my degree as a Qi Gong teacher and healer, singing body exercises combined with influences from dance flow, the sufi tradition, yoga and kundalini yoga and my work as a certified fitness instructor, massage therapy and ‘posture balancer’. This combined with my various educations and trainings in healing techniques and meditation techniques and vocal healing techniques.

​​

When I started out meditating, I studied with a Tibetan Llama, by whom I had three initiations. Hereby I learned the practice of Tibetan mantras and healing techniques. 

I also studied primordial sound meditation with the Chopra Institute. I have used both spoken and silent mantras. Singing mantras as well- mostly for my own practice though.

​

For several years I was also part of a group (dance and chant) meeting up every month, working on self- development and life celebration though movement, meditation and chanting.

 

When I was in my twenties, I met an amazing sound healer/musician, a German man, Danny Becher, who works with voice and singing bowls and photographs sound resonance in water. I assisted him in (a few) courses and learned overtone-singing AND I could not only feel but also see that sound is or can be magical. Borrowing his words, “using the voice is a means of setting oneself into different vibrational patterns, for a better well being on physical, mental and emotional level” (so beautifully said) if interested you can look up his website: www.dannybecher.com There you can see his fascinating message of sound pictures.

​​

In these pictures the fascinating essence of sound is illustrated.​

​

I have been driven by intuition in working with sound and therefore intuitive use and practical experience, more than scientific explanation. 

There is a growing interest for the importance, the potential use of sound- and "the presence of sound", as I perceive it.

This means there is a growing interest in exploring, explaining and scientifically investigating sound.

​

For those interested in the various aspects of sound, Gaia has a series called Sound of Creation, which features 10 episodes  diving into the many aspects of sound. 

​​

Experiments have been made measuring the power and energy of words by filming the shapes that they create in water.

If interested you might want to watch the movie "Secret of Water" from 2015.

​

It is my firm belief that sound and light conscioussness will be a more integrated part of healing in the future.

 

I will add a couple of quotes that I can relate to about the potentials and importance of art and music from the book The Future Human- New Ways of Living and Being on Earth by Lee Harris and Regina Meredith,

"Art and music are two of the gateways to spirit" and "What's actually happening in all music is, the vibration is moving through your body and shifting you. You see, music and art are two of the most immediate gateways on Earth that laed you into your own spirit and away from the controlling forces of how your mind has been trained to see things.
