Our voice has the potential to express our primal needs and make them clear and strong, at a time when voices are rarely heard. We can awaken this dormant tool of expression we are gifted with through regular encounters with our voice, aimed to relieve some of the stress and tensions that block our expression through it.
We live in times when our voices need to be heard. They should resound in their richness to express our deepest needs and be received and understood by others with the intentions they are charged with. And yet, with so much to say, when we reach for our voice, it often feels as a stranger we don’t really know much about, and its expression falls short of what we would wish from it. It might feel blocked, or forced, or simply awkward. Trained to express ourselves adequately to match the daily needs of emotionless conversation, we often lose touch with the vital tool of survival that our voice is, a tool that we remember using as children to express our presence, needs and essential existence. Our voice has the potential to express our primal needs and make them clear and strong, at a time when voices are rarely heard. We can awaken this dormant tool of expression we are gifted with through regular encounters with our voice, aimed to relieve some of the stress and tensions that block our expression through it. Just as with physical disciplines, the more we work with the voice, the more flexibility and strength it can gain and the more articulate it will become.
