Blithely Written; Commensurately

I
live life mostly organically—not so much with food as with thought and action.
What I feel you can see from ten miles away on my face. What I know to be true,
you can be sure I’ll act on 99% of the time. (I’m no saint.) But one thing is
absolutely sure, when I sit at the computer to write this blog, and I’m not
exactly sure what to write or am not fully passionate about it, the number of
readers drops from around 31,000 about 40%. Yes, you are in a growing number of
Bo’s blog readers. And keep sharing, because it obviously is working.
I
don’t know if many of you know that what I did when I first came to Nashville
was teach vocal lessons. I still have a few select people I teach. (Smile if
you’re one of them.) I had been a vocal coach since I was 18. So I have been
doing this for… let’s see 52 – 18 years old = 100 years.
One
thing I stress with every singer I teach is that very few people are interested
in whether or not you have a pretty voice. More people value being able to hear
the passion in your heart. That is something to strive for. To do that, you
have to be completely resigned to letting go of all the muscles restricting
your voice from the chest to the neck, which is your fifth chakra. (For people who don’t know about chakras,
check out some links to other of my blogs about chakras.)
The
fifth chakra is where you are able to communicate your truth. So, if this part
of your body is tight (your throat), then you can’t say what you believe or
feel. In singing, you can hear in a person’s cantor whether or not they are
free there, because tightness causes flatness or sharpness in the timbre of the
voice. It also causes a pinched sound, which doesn’t make us want to listen for
more than a minute.
However,
when someone sings from his/her gut, it goes right to our hearts. This kind of
passionate singing makes for a great artist, whether it’s beautiful or raspy.
As
for everyday life, tightness in the throat chakra can contribute to not being
able to say how you feel….
