Finding Your Song
By CinnamonMoon
Inside each of us is a Song.…one
that brings forth the purity of the spirit within you when it
is
attuned to life…the Song of the Heart.
This Song is not sung without union of the Oneness and it is
not uttered without honor. It
illuminates the truth within you and the unconditional love
that brings forth that truth. Will and
compassion carry the Song of the Heart out into the world with
a tender strength as it undulates,
rising and falling in a rhythm all it's own. Your Song is one
of your gifts to the world. Do you
share it?
How you express this power that flows through you and how you
use it is something you can
become consciously aware of. Consider how you may enhance your
life and the lives of others
with this available power.
Just as a mother lulls her baby with the sound of her voice
and the love that pours from an
unconditional heart…that power is within you to lull your
life and the life of others in a myriad
of ways with the greatest potential for good. To call upon this
power will be to receive it and
radiate it through your own strength and willpower.
In attuning to find your Song you need only turn to Mother Earth
who overflows with love for
all…nurturing, compassionate and wise. In merging with
her heartbeat and entering her Oneness
you can bring it forth and pour out that love….let it flow
from your heart with the nurturing
grace that is your unconditional love, love that gives nourishment
and brings healing energy to strengthen.
What does this Song sound like? I think it's a bit different
for each of us, but in our own ways of
perceiving it will convey our hearts, our gentleness, for out
of the Oneness of Mother Earth
comes that wordless understanding. We can hear her Song in the
whisper of leaves, the rustle of
grass, the song of a bird, the rush of the wind, there is a
melody she sings and orchestrates that is
constantly changing throughout the day and hush of evening.
Shhhhhhhh can you hear it now?
Listen. Open your window, step out the door, close your eyes
and listen, what are the sounds of
that melody that you hear? What is the voice that sings in the
world around you?
When you sing your own Song what are the dreams and visions
that open to you? What do you
see when you sing it? What elusive words come to mind? What
is the message in your heart? Are
you delivering it to the world around you? Can you embrace and
act on what is in your heart?
This Song sings of the importance of your life and the way you
are to live it. Sing it and listen to
it. Hear what you sing and let that carry you in the world.
Through your Song and the dreams
and visions it conjures come the solutions to your questions
as Spirit weaves the answers through
you. The Song is the Song of Life…attune to it and let
it carry you into life.
One of the best exercises I know in finding your Song is to
chant the vowels one at a time. Play
with them, let them come out of you running the musical scales.
Instead of singing Do, Re, Me,
Fa, So, La, Ti, Do, try singing those notes with the vowel A
shifting octaves. Then move on
through each of the other vowels….E, I, O, U. Do this repeatedly.
As you do this exercise you will feel your throat chakra open
when you hit your key. Note that
key. The vibration in your throat will feel very strong and
carry like that of an opera singer,
you'll feel it take over and carry you. That's your key, and
with it you can then run the vowels in
that key.
At this point, a pitch is acquired that resounds with great
force and takes on a life of its own.
Once you've found that pitch listen to the rhythm and wave of
sound each vowel makes. Not the
letter, but the sound of the letter and follow that rhythm.
This is the voice you will want to hone
to sing with.
With it you can open to your Inner Spirit, open to Spirit and
guidance, to Mother Earth, and call
forth the Oneness. I'd love to hear from those of you who are
drawn to explore this exercise and
willing to share their experiences. Won't you join in the thread?
Dragonfly:
I was given a prayer song along with a secret name by Spirit
back in the early 90's. I was told that it had to be sung
at the Pipestone Sundance (that I and my family went to every
year since it began) first and then I could share it.
I asked my son to sing it as I can't sing, don't have a voice,
but he did. So he sung it to a group of sundancers who
accepted it as a gift. I still remember the tune but not too
good on the words, I will have to dredge them
back up from my memories of those amazing spiritual days of
1992!
