We’ve all experienced the effects of listening to music: a soothing symphony, an energetic jazz number or the cringeing effects of a youngster banging with abandon on a piano.
Music changes us. But singing can heal us.
The Benefits of Singing
The benefits of singing, ie. making sound with our voice to different notes in succession, are significant and many. As the singer, the vibrations coursing through the body elevates the chi, our life force energy.
The result? You may experience one or more of the following:
- Increased energy
- mood boost
- greater sense of lightness
- deeper breathing
- lowered blood pressure and heart rate
Each of these effects have been measured in scientific studies. And all of them are realized through raising our voice in song!
It’s Not About Perfect!
Notice that there is no mention of singing on perfect pitch, in tune or with a precise rhythm to receive these wonderful benefits. Sing how you sing whenever you can, wherever you can.
The body loves it when we sing and responds accordingly, so gift yourself with this treasure that is available to you 24/7/365.
I promise you, you will be changed.
