Song! SING A HEALTHY THREE TIPS FOR HOW TO USE YOUR VOICE TO STIMULATE HEALTH AND WELLBEING by Sharon Carne In last month’s article, I shared with you how sound and music can help you regain access to the thinking part of your brain when it has been compromised by stress. This month, I’m excited to share with you one of your most powerful allies for stimulating health and wellbeing and reducing stress. It is your own voice. Y our voice resonates in every cell of your body with every sound that you make. Sound is a physical energy, pushing against your atoms as it goes through you. In fact, sound goes through you four times faster than it goes through the air and twelve times faster through your bones. Think about it. Your voice is created inside of you. Your ribcage, throat, mouth, and skull all act as amplifiers of your voice. Every sound you make with your voice pushes around every atom of your being even before the sound of your voice leaves your mouth. I call this a “sonic massage.” In this way, your voice creates an instant response in the body and mind, and creates an emotional and spiritual connection. Your voice also carries every frequency of your body. You have it with you all the time and it costs you nothing to use. Consider the sounds that flow naturally from your body without even thinking about it. Aww, what a cute puppy. Ahhh, that feels good. Ooo, how interesting. Ooo, I like that. Uhh, that’s heavy. eydismedia.com 93
