with Melissa Grogan
“I speak my truth with loving awareness.”
“I stand in the light of my truth and I honor yours.”
The Fifth Chakra. The bridge between energetic centers and between us and the other. When in alignment, it has the potential to link all centers towards the aim of manifesting our reality. When out of alignment, it can feel very disempowering, frustrating, and lack the subtle nuance of resonance, tone, intention.
Our words reflect our thought process. Our sound reflects our inner state. Our ability to listen governs our response to another. Whether we are aware of these things or not, they are components of all communication. The more we understand these things the greater ability we have to show up authentically; our relationship with life, people, and ourselves improves.
The Aramaic phrase “avra kehdabra” means “I will create as I speak”. This is power of the fifth chakra. Compelling speakers move audiences because of their ability to connect audiences to their message. The fifth chakra is a bridge. And we can all learn how to use it well.
Through practice, and time, we can tap into the beauty of light that is the fifth chakra. The tools we will employ: advanced voice work techniques (available to all levels of experience), mindfulness, inspired thought, meditation, resonance, power of sound, and movement techniques aimed at freeing the body and breath. This is a sure path to connect with the inherent power of our voices again.
This six-class series class is therapeutic in nature. During this class, we will focus on:
Embodying the power of sound
(Awareness of, Freeing, Mechanics of, etc.) Breath
Presence
Listening
Grounding
Gentle movement
Speaking from the energetic centers (chakras)
Inspiration – what it is and how to use it well
Precision of word choice
Mindfulness Meditation
and Creative Play!
Each week participants receive prompts to deepen their learning, videos, and supplemental materials.
