My Morning Song

Recently I have been waking up when the birds start to sing very early in the morning.  They sing without fail every single day.  Very consistent those birds are!  The sun starts to bring light to our backyard and bang! Tweet tweet tweety tweet…they greet the day with their own unique morning song.   I listen to the beauty of their song for a while, then fall back to sleep for another few hours…( I am pregnant with 3 kids after all!)

When I do finally wake up in the morning, I sneak off into my room where I keep my crystal singing bowls, sit down next to my 14 inch bowl and gently start to play it.  I then start improvising a melody as I tone with the bowl making combinations of Ahh, Ee, Oh, Oo and Aye sounds.  It just flows out of me.

This morning when I was creating my morning song I felt like a bird greeting the new day.  I felt like I was saying “Thank you for the new day and for being alive”.  I thought about how I would like my day flow and how I want to feel.  I was communicating with the Universe, Great Spirit, God, whatever you want to call it…through sound…which is the invisible connection that we can ALL have with this Greater Source.  I realised that all we need to do is to make the conscious choice to plug into Source and that doing this through sound is a very simple, effective and very efficient way!

For those who already have a bowl I invite you to start greeting the day with sound. Watch how your day flows beautifully with no drama, no effort as your thoughts start to manifest into reality!

Enjoy creating! Coz that’s why you came here!

Let it ALL out!!!

How do you sneeze?

What sounds do you make when you sneeze, yawn, stub your toe, cry, laugh, scream with anger? Do you express these sounds differently depending on who is in your presence? For example your kids, your mother-in-law, your best friend, your co-workers, a group of strangers, your lover. How do you censor these sounds?   Why do you censor them?  What thoughts in your head are telling you to be quiet, to hide, to be small, to squash down your life-force energy, to basically lie!

Find Your Authentic Voice

The first time I deeply realised how much I had been squashing down my True Self for most of my life was at a life transforming workshop called Realtime Speaking with Robert Rabbin in 2007. (see  http://www.realtimespeaking.com/profiles/robert-rabbin/ for more information).  I cried and cried for the entire two days.  I couldn’t believe how afraid I was to say my truth, to speak up, to be authentic in front of the seven other participants.  I cried for all of the parts of myself I had disowned in fear that I would be rejected if I let others see them.  I cried for all the people who have also been squashing down their aliveness for so long just to fit in, be accepted, be “loved”.  I knew I had to let go and reveal myself to feel free yet I was afraid …and still am sometimes.   Why?  Because if I revealed my real voice, my actual thoughts and feelings, what if people stop liking me?  What if they don’t accept me?  What if I am laughed at?  Ridiculed?  I would be alone.  This was the fear.  But the other option of staying the same, of holding back my truth, of staying stuck was MORE painful and just not an option anymore.  It was time to change and I was ready to take the plunge.

Sing Your Baby to You

Soundbirth is about “Singing Your Baby to You” before, during and after the birth on ALL levels – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

I believe that the most important part of our job as a Mother is to build and maintain an emotional connection with your child. The more connected or “attached” you are the more you are able to “read” and meet the everchanging needs of your growing child. This leads to a happy and content baby and a fulfilling mothering experience.

Dr Sears describes this conection beautifully when he writes,

 

Attachment means that a mother and baby are in harmony with each other. Being in harmony with your baby is one of the most fulfilling feelings a mother can ever hope to have. Watch a mother and baby who are attached (in harmony) with each other. When the baby gives a cue, such as crying or facial expressions, signifying a need, the mother, because she is open to the baby’s cues, responds.

Using music and sound during pregnancy, birth and on your parenting journey are powerful tools to use to build the bond that both you and your baby need. Read the rest of this entry »
