Sing YOUR Song!

Sing Your Song

Sing, sing your song,
Sing out loud, sing out strong,
Sing of the good things, not bad,
Sing of the happy, not sad . . .

Sing, sing a song,
Make it simple, to last your whole life long,
Don't worry that it's not good enough,
For anyone else to hear,
Sing, sing a song . . .


Okay, I am being nostalgic again, but although cheesy the thought behind the song is elation for me, pure elation. . I remember sitting at the kitchen table when I was little, singing this little ditty while sipping a hot cocoa, dangling and swaying my feet to the music and just thinking nothing was as grand as that moment, sipping my hot drink, tasting it fully and completely and belting that tune, being oh so glad to be alive. I thought to myself “I can do anything because I have a voice and I am me!”

Now, when I need to inspire myself to believe that « I can do anything » I will close my eyes, visualise that little girl, that song and the feeling that goes along with it and FEEL it, for a good few minutes before I set out to accomplish the task at hand. And how about you, can you think of a song that you can really connect with in this positive way that has some value that you can use to motivate you to get what you want? If you don’t why don’t you join me tonight and create your own? It’s cold outside, so come on over to 54 Lily and warm yourself up with the wonderful feeling of Vocal Meditation. It only takes once to fall in love with Your voice connects you to your intuition, your emotions, and your inner world! Just imagine what you can discover in your inner sanctum! Have a great week!

I leave you to linger on this thought:

"There is guidance for each of us, and by lowly listening; we shall hear the right word. Certainly there is a right for you that needs no choice on your part. Place yourself in the middle of the stream of power and wisdom which flows into your life. Then, without effort, you are impelled to truth and to perfect contentment." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

Singing my song: Part 2

I discovered as I was meditating during the "Singing Your Song" Process of last week's Vocal Meditation what I wanted more of to be more my authentic self. (See last week's blog). The words "Looking after yourself" kept popping up. After the VM I pondered on what that meant to me and if I was truly living it. I discovered that indeed I was not! I was very busy looking after everybody else's needs and not spending enough time on what I needed. Typical for this farm-girl from Manitoba!

Two areas that I needed to work on came up. The words "Spending more time with friends" and "Laughing" came up. So in that moment, I committed to myself in very small steps (like for the rest of that evening- to be re-examined and re-assessed the next day) to connect with someone that meant alot to me and to watch at least two "Têtes à claques" to please the little girl inside of me.

So I am proud to say that as a result I went bowling with friends, spent quality time with my husband, laughed at those silly Têtes à claques daily and gave myself a good dose of well-deserved joy in the process. What 30 minutes of looking inward gave to me was an oppurtunity to improve myself, to make my life richer which in turn had a positive effect on those around me!

So I invite you tommorrow night at 7 p.m. to come and open yourself up during the Vocal Meditation: to hear yourself through your own voice, to express yourself and be more yourself, all while listening to what your intuition tells you you need more of to be true to you!

If you are unable to attend (especially those who live a distance away) I invite to ask "How can I be more myself" and then take that time to listen to your singing voice (sing whatever syllables that come out) fully and completely in a quiet space, and notice what messages your voice sends to you. You will be amazed at what active listening can reveal, if you are aware and present.

We have added a background music (sometimes drumming sometimes just chords) to inspire you even further to "Sing Your Song" during the meditation.

Till tommorrow night then! I set the intention now that all of you out there (myself included) will get to know yourselves at a deeper level in order to truly live a more fulfilling life.

Namaste my friends and remember "Listen to Yourself, You know what's best for you!"
