"Light can deceive but sound always tells the truth." —Ashayana Deane (E'Asha) Excerpt from Keys for Mastering Ascension, the Veca Consciousness Code”
This past evening's Resonant Yoga class at Una Vida featured an extra-long supported Savasana with singing bowls and sound ... toned by yours truly. I have been very shy to share my voice, and am at a turning point where I just can't not.
I haven't considered myself a vocalist since about 8th grade choir classes ... I have memories from that time of being a second soprano: not quite low enough to be an alto and not quite high enough to be a soprano. I remember that harmonizing felt challenging and being told I needed to shift my pitch, "not so flat, Jessie." I also remember being told to stop singing quite so loud. Slowly slowly, I shut down over time. It was never a grand decision, it was subtle ... I opted for drumline in high school marching band and percussion in concert band. I stopped singing.
But recently, subtly, so much of that shut down energy has shifted for me. Over the last few years, there have been small openings. These openings have come through small places, gentle encounters with kind, open-hearted people, subtle yet expansive experiences. There is something that started to get unlocked when I began working with resonance, frequencies, and harmonics. I began to see and feel in my energy field these amazing changes that occurred when I added frequencies on the treatment table ... not just one, but two, three, ten, nineteen different frequency pairs creating harmonizing waves inside the cells of my clients that become nearly tangible in the room. All of the healing experiences I have facilitated in my Physical Therapy practice I have also benefitted from myself, all of the resonance cultivated in the brains, hearts, cells, ligaments, nerves of the bodies of my patients and clients, I too have received.
I attended incredible sound ceremonies, literally bathing in the oscillations of crystal bowls, gongs, and other incredible sounds curated by not just anybody, but impassioned individuals who are so clearly connected to something very vast and expansive. Through sound, doorways open and healing is made tangible.
There has been a stirring in my own being that keeps nudging me to use my voice. It's been coaxed out by people around me. It's showed up in my client sessions with people talking about the science of sound, synesthesia, healings they encountered when in deeply harmonic experiences. Listening to music my partner shares with me that cracks me open. Recalling my sister Lexi's perfect, pure voice. Being in the presence of some of my favorite humans on the planet as they embody and transmit the Frequencies of their highest purpose. Brie & Bjorn and Marley sharing sacred sound healing in ceremony in the most authentic and activating way I have ever encountered. Caressa's other-worldly voice and authentic being-ness. Learning to engage tuning forks in Animal Frequency Balancing with the amazing Lori Bridges. I keep hearing the invitation. It is time!
Just a few weeks ago, I was gifted the opportunity to have a conversation with Noel Tobin of Emerald Awakening. I had questions about the frequencies I work with professionally, and he gave me the most incredible transmission. He shared that
All the sound and frequency generation devices and equipment on the planet can't possibly come close to the the human body as an instrument for healing.
I am beginning to understand this in an entirely new way.
So I have been gingerly, timidly, opening my voice during these Resonant Yoga classes I teach at Una Vida on Tuesday evenings. In Savasana, once everyone is tucked in with bolsters and blankets, I settle into my seat with the singing bowls and breathe, and I begin to share my voice. It's not a song; it's not planned, it's just what needs to be expressed in the moment. Allowing my cells, my alignment to transmit frequencies feels like one of the most important things I can possibly share.
I hope you can join me sometime for a class.
