Are you one out of a million? Were you given such an exceptional singing voice that you’re guaranteed a place in the singing hall of fame? If you are one in a million you probably don’t need to read this article. If your one of the countless millions that are not in that category…and you love to sing…PLEASE, PLEASE read on. It will help you to change your viewpoint about the importance of your creative contribution to the world. It will help you to change your mind about bringing your desire to sing into a reality.
Most of us are passive when it comes to singing. We sit back and listen to CDs And MP3s of other singers. Listening to a great singer’s music is akin to experiencing heaven on earth. We love to listen… but… unfortunately that is all we do. We listen. Few of us actually “make” music because we don’t believe we’re worthy to do so.
We listen to music every day that is the result of the recording industries very high standards. We subconsciously “agree” to standards that only a few out of a million people can actually live up to. more
For those of us, whose talents pale in comparison to the pro’s there are no outlets for our desire to sing. We live in a “concert” society where one persons sings and thousands sit back and listen.
Some of us muster every ounce of courage in order to give ourselves permission to sing. When the day finally comes that we open our mouths in song, we discover that we are not capable of sounding like the singers we so much admire. It is a bit of a blow to the ego, our motivation slackens and before you know it we stop singing.
It seems like people have a subconscious rule in their heads when it comes to singing, unless they sound great they have no right to sing. That is why most people do not sing. The act itself has become so important to us as a society that it’s almost sacrilegious to sing just for the fun of it not caring how it sounds. We’ve been conditioned into silence.
Because of a radically different viewpoint at Healing Singing we are able to offer an extraordinarily safe environment for people to face the demons that would stop them from singing. It gives them the opportunity to stop judging and to start celebrating themselves as they are.
At Healing Singing we sing because we like to sing and that is enough reason to do it. We do it because we have the desire to do it.
We sing in our own way….with or without technical skills, standing right where we are now, with our own voice, with our own nuances, with our own strengths and weaknesses, for better or for worse… we sing! Sound radical? Sound scary? Try it.
The result of this sky like, open minded viewpoint is nothing short of miraculous. It’s a “real world” and honest approach…to see the truth exactly as it is without the need to fix it, judge it or change it.
Over the years it has been my experience that some of the most profoundly spiritual moments at Healing Singing were gifts from those who had the greatest vocal challenges. Surprising? Not really. We’re all made of the same “stardust” and that stardust is the product of soul… not the vocal chords.
Do you want to witness a miracle? Witness yourself giving what only you can give through song.
The requirement is not necessarily having a great instrument but rather having an “inner connection” to what is being communicated. That connection is something everyone can find if they want to find it. That connection is the focus of Healing Singing and when you find it you will never feel unworthy to sing again.
The purpose of Healing Singing is to foster and nurture creativity by re-connecting it to our innate spirituality. It is a venue in which individuals can see the profound effect their creativity can have on the lives of others. It offers the opportunity to experience our own creative process rather than experiencing creativity through the lives of others.
It is all about being alive. Being truly alive. Doing what it is that your heart is prompting you to do. And I assure you that if you give someone a gift that comes directly from your heart they will accept it with gratitude. So forget the rules, and the standards. Break out of the prison of silence. And then exclaim…I am alive. I am really alive. Because I sing!
