Singing is an act of vibration. It
takes music from the realm of the unformed — whether that is in your mind
or from that magical space of inspiration — and moves it from within to
without. From the first breath, singing moves the energy in a circular way
inside your body. As the breath fills your lungs, it brushes against the
second and third chakras — the centers of creation and honoring self and
others. Instead of merely exhaling, singing pushes the air past the
fourth and fifth chakras where heart chakra and the center of will and
intention reside, engaging both the heart and mind. Sound vibrations from
vocal chords resonate in the sinus cavities, filling the head with motion
and sound while the brain lights up with the processing of the
mathematics of music. This marriage of activities brings the third eye
into play and opens the door for inspiration from the crown chakra before
sending the sound out into the world.
Once the vibration begins, it is
sustained with each note, moving throughout your body and the space
around you. This can help you to harmonize your frequency with the world
and with the divine. The use of the voice can bring about catharsis, a
cleansing from the expression of emotion, which is why we feel better
after singing certain types of songs. All of this occurs even if we are
not conscious of what we are singing, but when we really connect with an
intention, the power of the voice and music together are powerful tools
in creation.
Even if you are not a singer by nature
or talent, you are not left out. If you have a voice, it is your
birthright to celebrate life with song. It doesn’t matter if you don’t
feel you have a nice voice. Chanting or humming, singing solo or with
others, your voice is yours to enjoy. Whether you sing along to the radio
or use vocalization as part of your meditation time, singing and
harmonizing are healing activities that bring your body’s vibrations into
alignment with the universe.
