Using Your Voice for Stress Reduction and Maybe Even Healing!
Discover the fun of learning Vocal Sound Healing™ and the many ways you can use it for yourself and others. You don’t have to be able to sing. All you need is curiosity and a willingness to try. During these highly stressful times, this is a glorious way to be able to express sound and free yourself from that stress, frustration, and tension in your body and mind. Learn all kinds of intentional sounds and sounds that you have never imagined that will calm, free relax and sometimes heal your body. It’s easy to learn. Make sounds for yourself and for each other! This a wonderful tool for your toolbox of self-care.
You will learn to express.
What is sounding? Is it hard to learn to do? Sounding is not singing or chanting. There are all kinds of sounds. It depends upon your intention and your desire for well-being. You will make different sounds to gain different results – and you will learn to make spontaneous sounds that naturally arise.
One – hour classes:
Day 1 – Explore Sound for self-healing – Have fun experiencing ways of making sounds that alleviate tension, which can often remedy discomfort in the body.
Day 2 – Sound healing for opening your heart – Align with your subtle level energy systems. When we open our heart to ourselves, we can open to others more easily.
Day 3 – Make sounds to help someone else – This unique way to sound together helps attune us to not only “hear” together and “feel the ground” together, we also get to “see” each other with more compassion and clarity.
Day 4 – Sound to assist your energy field – You have an energy boundary all the time but sometimes it doesn’t feel that way. Delight in learning how you can control this boundary and feel more at peace in yourself.
Day 5 – Discover your “inner voice” – Connect with an intelligence inside of you that supports greater self-confidence, expressiveness, clarity, and joy.
