I meet so many people who have a complicated relationship with their voice. What I mean by that is they have the desire to use their voice (to teach, to sing etc) but they have a deep rooted belief that they “don’t have a good voice”, or that they are “not a singer”. How we talk to ourselves matters, yet even those who understand this deeply will share statements about their inability to sing well as if it is absolute truth! I have had several instances recently where I’ve been in a collective space and the group have been asked to make some kind of audible sound - either just an Ahhh sound on an out-breath or repeating back some words. In EVERY case the majority of people have felt too uncomfortable to make the sounds. Even those that do have done so quietly, not wanting to be too loud (or too much). So why is that? And why does it matter? Your voice is your tool of expression. It is directly linked to your throat chakra (Vishuddha), which is the fifth of seven primary energy centres in your body. The name, translated from the original Sanskrit means ‘purification’ or ‘cleansing’. When you hold the belief that you can’t sing, there is likely a part of you that believes you have nothing of value to share OR that sharing would be unsafe. It can evoke real fear and discomfort for people to the point where even when they WANT to belt their voice out, they can’t! As a vocal coach I have all the tools on hand to help someone sing with more confidence and power but before I start with any of those, I will look at the beliefs someone has about their ability to sing and how worthy they feel of being heard. If you have a desire to sing or to use your voice in any way, it’s because a deeper part of you knows there is healing there for you - and by the way healing does not always mean CURING but that’s for another post! 😜 Start paying attention to the things you think to yourself or say out loud when it comes to using your voice. Then ask yourself, are these the beliefs that support being heard, or are they enhancing the belief you should stay quiet?
