Sound Passage: Use Your Voice to Find Your Voice! - Session 1

Using our voice can release tension and bring calm. Gentle sounds such as humming, sighing, and a variety of others can increase breath control, slow the heart rate, reduce anxiety, and block the release of stress hormones. Combining those sounds with soft, intentional movements allows the body and mind to unite for clarity and focus.
The sounds and movements made in Sound Passage workshops activate the vagus nerve to settle the nervous system, creating a peaceful, calming effect. The vagus nerve, also called the “soul” or “compassion” nerve, activates the body’s social engagement system, turning off the stress system and helping us feel safe in our bodies.
Using the voice in these ways helps you to regulate and find your agency to share more of yourself with the world.
4 Sessions:
1 - Sound Relief for the Face, Neck, and “Tension Triangle.”
2 - Playing with Sound and Movement
3 - The Ups and Downs of Sound
4 - Safe Sound Release
