Singing Benefits & Well-Being
Benefits of singing for health
Well-being is a lived experience; it is something we can actively cultivate for ourselves. Deepening our self-awareness, emotional sensitivity and the active integration of the body-mind are at the very centre of our well-being.
The maxim “Know Thyself” urges us to actively explore our motives and emotions. Voice Movement Therapy provides an opportunity to creatively engage with those potent images, bodily impulses, and personal narratives. It allows the wisdom of the body and psyche to surface and to be formed by vocal sound, lyrics, and expressive movements.
Why singing is important: Voice Movement Therapy
Voice Movement Therapy gives you a safe space to explore the underworld as well as a clear pathway back. Emotional understanding and integration are required to reach what Marita Günther calls the “dared expression” and a Self, free of judgment. By facing our Self, deep care and self-compassion can be nurtured, which leads to sustainable well-being.
Singing health benefits
There are so many health benefits of singing. Singing releases endorphins while also allowing you to tap into the emotional and spiritual sides of yourself.
There is increasing global awareness of the importance of embodiment in well-being and in healing. A renewed focus on a deeper and more active awareness and connection to the body. An acknowledgement of the wisdom available to us through this essential connection.
Why is singing important? It provides a profound way to connect with your body. Through envoicement, vocal sound, and resonance, we can bring about awareness, express physical and emotional feelings, and initiate change.
Nature and singing for health
Imagine the embrace of the African mountains cradling you as your group sings a lullaby. An immensely powerful experience of energy exchange.
We can open the way to honour the deep-souled intelligence of the universe and reveal how to:
Respond with gratitude and humility
Recognise that we are part of the mysterious world and not its directors
Through this embodied and envoiced connection, we can become intimate co-creators, accepting our place in the unfolding of new realities.
Voice Movement Therapy encourages a reconnection with all that is wild and primal within. It also aids in the search for inner harmony and “Oneness”.
We encourage holistic healers and yoga instructors to attend our well-being workshop to broaden their ideals around healing and breath.
Does singing help your lungs?
Yes, singing helps your lungs. Singing allows you to work on your breathing. Voice Box uses Voice Movement Therapy to help you to unpack your breath, which increases your lung capacity while also stimulating the muscles surrounding your ribcage.
Vocalists and the “block”
Singers and performers sometimes encounter a block. Blocks can be brought on by the fear of sounding bad. The Voice Movement Therapy approach to voicework is non-judgmental; there are no ‘bad’ sounds and no ‘bad’ voices. From this standpoint, VMT works to nurture a flexible and unrestricted voice through awareness-based exercises. You’re encouraged to explore the boundless possibilities of the sounds within your voice without the hindrance of needing to be perfect. Our VMT techniques enhance your vocal fitness and flexibility as well as the body as a whole as your performance instrument. Voice Movement Therapy changes voices. We use song and singing lessons to achieve vocal liberation and the release of the “block”.
Is singing good for your heart?
Yes, singing helps your heart physically and emotionally. Just one more reason why singing is good for you. Singing encourages slower and deeper respiration, which improves your heart rate variability.
Singing helps us emotionally by increasing self-awareness and allowing us to express physical and emotional feelings.
