“Words are limited, sounds have unlimited significance.”
Osho
Your body is a natural musical instrument
Make music that will heal your bodymind and bring a natural spontaneity and joy to your life. In a playful atmosphere, we explore the range of expressions our voice is capable of. We deepen our awareness of the connection between our voice and our emotions and experience the effects of different vocal expressions on our bodily energies.
Sound and emotion an intimate connection
Sounds are intimately connected to emotions, and the emotions are rooted in the body.
By liberating the hidden sounds, the source of emotional issues can be discovered and released and bringing health and flexibility to your bodymind.
We will use short meditation techniques, where needed, to stay fresh and alert during our exploration of the healing power of sound.
WHY ATTEND THIS COURSE?
“Man is a musical instrument. If we allow existence, it can create much music in us. But we don’t allow it; we resist, we fight. Hence our life remains musicless, and that is the misery. Unless great music is born in the heart one cannot feel any significance, any splendor in life. And once the heart starts singing, once it is in the hands of existence and it starts playing on the heart, life is a celebration.” Osho
Are you ready to feel more in tune – more at home in your body? Are you ready to communicate more naturally and spontaneously? Would you love to belt out a song in the shower and discover you are hitting the right notes without really trying? Healing Sounds can give you all this and more.
Singing and humming have many scientifically documented benefits
Physical benefits: when we hum or sing, we increase the levels of nitric oxide in the body, while also tonifying the vagus nerve. As a result, stress stored in the body is released, inflammation is reduced, immunity is enhanced and the autonomic processes of the body function more smoothly.
The psychological and emotional benefits of singing and humming include enhanced emotional resilience, a feeling of being at home in your own skin, more spontaneous self-expression and enhanced creativity. Humming and singing can also alleviate anxiety and relieve depression.
To produce melodious sounds we need to be centered, relaxed and aware
In turn, the sounds we produce enhance our ability to relax into the moment, forming a beneficial feedback spiral. Self-criticism disappears and we sing like angels in a heaven of our own creation.
Effortless. Ecstatic. As a result of these experiences your will find that your meditation becomes deeper and happens more easily.

“In fact, it is not right to say that the birds are singing. It will be better to say that singing is happening to the birds. It is simply coming out without any effort, it is not a doing. They are not rehearsing for it. They are not going to a music institute, nobody has ever taught them how to sing. They don’t bother whether their singing has any meaning in it. Sheer joy!” - Osho
