Physical and psychological aspects of vibrational sound, color and breathing
When you start sounding your voice (singing) you will be working through layers of resistances as you connect with different layers of your personality.
Opening up for your sound:
Most likely you will experience pre-judges about your own voice – ex. you don’t like your voice, it is not sounding good enough, you cannot sing, you are singing out of pitch, you have never been a tenor/soprano/alt/bas, you don’t sound like him/her. And you will judge your singing like; I feel ashamed, shyness, afraid to be too loud, proud to be loud etc.
Then you might experience attempts to trying to sound “right” wilfully. Whatever you experience in these directions you are dealing with aspects of “the voice of your self” that stirs up old feelings and thoughts about yourself. You are dealing with resistances of your self-image and self-esteem.
Deepening the sound:
Continuing the process with working with physical resistances like limitations of full breathing – narrow breast-cavity, awakening the diaphragm, muscles in the lower stomach, flexibility in the back, dizziness and/or nosier due to oxidation from deep breathing.
You are here dealing with the muscular patterns that are a part of your personality and your capacity to sing. Working first with full breathing is challenging your patterns of breathing. This breathing pattern is used to control feelings and the free flow of energy in body and mind. When we control feelings this way we stop energizing our body with oxygen and nourishment and very often the controlled feelings is kept unconscious. The unconscious feelings are those feelings that were not allowed to be expressed in our upbringing.
So when we begin the practice of breathing we may get in contact with some of those feelings and the history of those feelings and our reaction on these feelings. Those feelings might not be as beautiful as we like them to be, whether it is anger, rage, grief or feelings of sexuality.
It is the process of discovery of some lost realms of feelings and the release of these will expand our capacity to be our selves and self-expression.
Expanding your sound-capacity:
Combination of your singing and breathing, starting to connect it with vowels and colors with intension.
That is visualizing the color and chakra – and impregnating the sound and color with quality (meaning and intension). Adding it all together with body-posture or movement.
It all merges into what could be called a “dynamic meditation”. This process is to fill your own space with your own sound-vibration.
The breathing is to take the life-force into your body and mind – or the radiant bodies.
This vibration will connect the different levels of your being – transference or exchange of energy will happen.
When the vibration of your voice is resonating with the vibration of your inner self (or the most important issues) the later will be activated by resonance – energy will be released – it will happen:
When you are what you need to be
and
When you are where you need to be
Real change comes when you are allowing yourself to be what you are, not trying to be what you are not. This is also called “in-linement”. Please be cautious with the breathing exercises because it can really activate deeper unconscious matter. But you can go through it with support from a therapist and a group.
It is very usual that we name our radiant bodies as the etheric, astral, mental and what comes after we name as “spiritual bodies”. But this is only viewed from the lower mental and logical mind, which is more fragmented. When we see it from a higher or more holistic view all of our bodies are deeply spiritual – and our physical body are also spiritual and sacred though we leave it when we die. Then why are we not honouring the physical body and why are we not realizing that the physical body is a storehouse of fuel to the process of our transformation. Part of the explanation lies in our cultures limiting perception of the body.
So when we are doing this work we transform both on the individual and collective levels. Though in the beginning we first have to work on our own individual level and then graduately do more work on the collective levels.
