Re Balancing the Chakras for More Vocal Freedom

Sacred Haven

Two blog posts back,(Relationship Between the Voice and the Root Chakra Feb. 8, 2012) I explored  the possibility and importance of creating a safe space for ourselves and our voices through some Root Chakra reflection and writing. I do believe that the first step in freeing our voices, be it for singing, vocalizing or for speaking our truth, has to be in creating a safe, nurturing, grounded, supported space for ourselves. This was part of my Jan. 28, 2012 Voice and Chakras Workshop. And we will explore more of that in the upcoming March 24 workshop.

After we created this safe and supportive space for ourselves in the  workshop, we took a  meditation/movement/sound JOURNEY THROUGH ALL OF THE SEVEN MAJOR CHKARAS. I find it helpful, as we journey through the Chakras, to bring in positive words and images to help with the re-balancing and re-energizing of the Chakras. I continue to be very inspired by the work of Dr. Masaru Emoto from Japan. He demonstrated that Water Crystals respond to the vibration of positive words like love and gratitude and joy, by developing beautiful symmetrical patterns. Those same water crystals, when "fed" negative words like hate or anger, or if they receive the vibrations of dark, discordant sounds,  would turn murky and the patterns will break up into really disturbing and chaotic non patterns. These days, with pretty much unlimited access to media, we are constantly being "fed" images and sounds of fear and anger and despair and abuse. That is the vibration that gets into our energy centres, our Chakras. And into our body's physical organs and systems. So it is not that we are trying to bock out the awful stuff (which is happening and it is important for us to be aware). By feeding images and words of strength and beauty into the Chakras and into our body's organs and systems, we are simply aiming to bring dark and light into a better balance -- for the sake of our health and for the sake of the health of our planet and its beings.

Just as an interesting little exercise, I suggest 'feeding' some beautiful and loving words and/or music to some part of you or your physical body that may be feeling "out of sorts". Who knows what kind of incredible healing crystals might start to form right inside your own body?

Stay tuned for the next installment: Connecting the Voice with the Soul.


With love, beauty and truth,
