Speaker:

Maren, welcome to the QVC podcast. I am so

Speaker:

excited for this conversation. Me as well. Thank you so much for

Speaker:

having me. All right, so as we were just talking

Speaker:

about our. You know, the audience here is very in tune with

Speaker:

frequency healing. We sound healing, light healing,

Speaker:

and I would imagine, from your perspective,

Speaker:

the. Our own voice would be the starting point

Speaker:

for all of that. So I would love to hear your perspective

Speaker:

on the human voice from. From the Quantum world.

Speaker:

You're 100% right. That's in my world. This is the. We

Speaker:

go to tuning forks. We go to singing bowls. We go to. To gongs, and

Speaker:

they all are incredible tools. So nobody is going to

Speaker:

diminish how important sound healing from outside is.

Speaker:

But we have a primary tool that we've had since the moment we were born

Speaker:

that was designed for this purpose. So

Speaker:

we do have the ability within our own voice to heal our body, to

Speaker:

manifest our life, to create the world. We're actually creating

Speaker:

the world by our resonant frequency and how it taps

Speaker:

into the entire unified field. And our voice moves

Speaker:

through our entire body to do that. So knowing our

Speaker:

voice primarily, I think all humans will begin to thrive.

Speaker:

Wow. I have. I have chills. Could you. Could

Speaker:

you unpack that a little more? So it

Speaker:

starts in the moment that you're born? The very first thing we do is

Speaker:

cry. Typically, there are babies that don't, and they have their

Speaker:

reasons for that. But for most of us, the first instinct of a human

Speaker:

is. Is to inhale spirit inspiration or respiration.

Speaker:

Right. Respiriting the body. Our first act as a

Speaker:

human, we have to pull our spirit in

Speaker:

and wake up the intelligence of this form. And we do that through a big

Speaker:

scream. And what that does is it

Speaker:

creates resonance through the entire body. If you've ever held a baby

Speaker:

crying, you know that we use every muscle of the body when

Speaker:

we're very, very young. And that voice, which is the original

Speaker:

voice, aligns our spirit with our form and

Speaker:

wakes up our whole intelligence from

Speaker:

there. As we get older, our voice becomes manipulated and minimized,

Speaker:

and we change the way we use all of those muscles. And we only

Speaker:

send sound through very specific channels. But that original

Speaker:

voice of us opening our body, if we can return

Speaker:

to that, if we could actually get back to using our full voice, that way,

Speaker:

we're sending a resonance signal through different

Speaker:

layers of frequency that we have. And

Speaker:

so I guess I'm jumping here, but the. The chakra system,

Speaker:

which. I'm using the word chakra because that's one lineage's

Speaker:

way of of talking about it, but really it's your

Speaker:

nervous system and it's different groups of nerve endings that run up and down the

Speaker:

body which create electromagnetic fields off of our form.

Speaker:

Our voice in its totality will awaken and use all of

Speaker:

those fields. So we're sending out a full

Speaker:

antenna spectrum of sound, resonance and frequency into

Speaker:

the quantum, which then will mirror what

Speaker:

we're sending out so that we live it in reality.

Speaker:

These are ancient teachings back in the Rig

Speaker:

Veda. They speak of the human voices unmanifest form

Speaker:

and how our voice will create the imprint.

Speaker:

And then from the 5D we'd say, or the scalar

Speaker:

field, the matching resonances will then create

Speaker:

physical reality. Yeah.

Speaker:

Wow. So what's coming to me is we've really,

Speaker:

a lot of us have kind of, I think internalized the idea that

Speaker:

our thoughts have a

Speaker:

huge consequence in our experienced reality.

Speaker:

And what I'm hearing you saying is that it's not just

Speaker:

the thought, it's also the, I don't know what

Speaker:

word to use tone quality of how we

Speaker:

articulate that, those thoughts out loud. Yeah, I

Speaker:

actually, I use the word sound signatures. Sound signatures. Beautiful.

Speaker:

Okay. Like how, how we produce

Speaker:

the sound from what support muscles and what resonators the sounds

Speaker:

move through and have a very specific effect on

Speaker:

how that sound will be responded to out in the world.

Speaker:

Wow. And yeah, I was mentioning to you off camera

Speaker:

that I used to do a lot of theater and back in school

Speaker:

and I remember some of the voice

Speaker:

coaches talking about, you know, the different ways that we cut off our voice.

Speaker:

And I just, I have a memory where they brought in some

Speaker:

professional theater actors and someone came

Speaker:

out to introduce them and he was like, oh, we're. Here, here are the

Speaker:

people around. And he said their names. And then these theater actors came

Speaker:

and they started speaking and like the whole room filled. They had

Speaker:

no microphone, they had no nothing. And it, and I just was like,

Speaker:

what is going on? Like their voices were so

Speaker:

powerful. Yeah. Commanding.

Speaker:

Yes. Response. Right. Or commanding. There's so

Speaker:

many different ways that you can look through this. So I. You'll have to ask

Speaker:

me and lead me in directions because the voice, it's just such

Speaker:

a multi dimensional thing. We could talk about how

Speaker:

it works, but what you're speaking about right now is an embodied voice.

Speaker:

So you're taught when you go to acting school or music school, but

Speaker:

even this, I would say classical voice is different than

Speaker:

original voice than what I work with. But we'll, we'll go to

Speaker:

here when you're learning how to speak in. In acting school, you're

Speaker:

learning how to breathe your diaphragm down support and then

Speaker:

send sound specifically through parts of the body to create

Speaker:

what the emotional resonance of something is. Emotions

Speaker:

come from deep within. Emotions are something that are inside of us. So when we

Speaker:

speak through the whole body and is informing

Speaker:

the voice of what the emotional quality of what we're saying is,

Speaker:

not just the thought and the concept of it, but where does that live in

Speaker:

the body and where does that move from? When someone's listening to you,

Speaker:

they find you right in that space so you immediately

Speaker:

connect to them. They don't even need to understand your

Speaker:

language. The word you're saying wouldn't even matter. They would know,

Speaker:

oh, this is heartbreaking. Oh, this is gut wrenching. Oh,

Speaker:

this is passionate or this is sad or this is whatever it might

Speaker:

be. And it comes from the way we move sound

Speaker:

from our body out into the world, which then connects directly in

Speaker:

to the receptor that we are. So the human body is a

Speaker:

transmitter and a receptor of energy. And how

Speaker:

we transmit that frequency is how any other human

Speaker:

is going to receive it. So if I come to you

Speaker:

from my heart when I speak, your heart immediately becomes

Speaker:

coherent with mine. And now we're in a heart to heart

Speaker:

conversation. If I come to you from my head,

Speaker:

we're going to be head to head, right? There's a lot that happens in this

Speaker:

world that goes that way, right? Yes. My

Speaker:

gut from down in my body. I'm going to ground you into your

Speaker:

deepest body. And now you're going to sit and you're going to listen. You're going

Speaker:

to stay with me because you're going to be in your body because we're my

Speaker:

voices. And so I don't say this so people

Speaker:

manipulate the world, although we can with that and many,

Speaker:

many different careers, like politicians and actors

Speaker:

and all that are taught how to manipulate sound. My work

Speaker:

is to get us to authentic voice so that each person can

Speaker:

actually live their truth, speak their truth and live and like

Speaker:

have their world be met from their authentic voice.

Speaker:

Wow, that is so powerful. So I'd love to

Speaker:

get into some of how to do that, but first

Speaker:

I'd like to hear your story of how you connected with your voice

Speaker:

and with this work. Okay, so if I'll

Speaker:

tell this as quickly. Okay. Because as we were saying, like I've been looking for

Speaker:

someone who's, who could do like quantum voice work for a long

Speaker:

time. So I was so delighted to find you because it

Speaker:

just, I'm like there Must be someone who's made these connections. And here you are.

Speaker:

So we'd love to hear. Love to hear the journey. It started with

Speaker:

performance. It started just like you. You said you went to school for this, right?

Speaker:

They found my voice when I was 5, and I was already

Speaker:

a singer. Like, I came into the world with the ability to sing. So the

Speaker:

first time they heard me sing, they were like, wow, she's got talent,

Speaker:

right? Natural talent. And then they just put me into voice classes. So

Speaker:

I got classically trained, and I was given the

Speaker:

dream to become a performer, an entertainer,

Speaker:

and it served me for a really long time. I decided I went to

Speaker:

all the schools, I did all the voice works. I learned the music, and I

Speaker:

did the acting and the voice, like, all this stuff, and I got this training.

Speaker:

But throughout that entire process, there was a

Speaker:

deep underpinning of insecurity.

Speaker:

And I think that in general, when we're young and someone finds a gift or

Speaker:

a talent and they say immediately, like, you're going to become a professional at

Speaker:

this, and they go into hyper training you, there's so much competition

Speaker:

and comparison and rejection and success, right?

Speaker:

Like, it's both, but they're. It just. You're

Speaker:

always trying to beat someone else out for the role. You're always in

Speaker:

this, like, comparative place. So there's a lot of ego

Speaker:

that gets caught into that. And depending on how strong our ego

Speaker:

is, how often we could be rejected or not or how often

Speaker:

we're given the roles, it really affects how we feel about what our

Speaker:

abilities are here. So meanwhile, I had a. I had

Speaker:

both. I had success, I had failure. I had all of it. But I. I

Speaker:

still was in this. Like, I just never felt good

Speaker:

enough. Even though I was great, I never felt good enough.

Speaker:

And I think that our schools do. They. They give us

Speaker:

that. They give us that. There's never enough. There's always the more. There's always

Speaker:

the next character. There's always the person who you're trying to compare

Speaker:

yourself to and trying to become the best, right? And that just

Speaker:

wasn't my world. It just. It didn't work out for. For my soul and for

Speaker:

who Maren was. It wasn't. There was always a dissonance is what I'd say,

Speaker:

right? So the talent was there,

Speaker:

but there was always this underpinning, as I said, of insecurity and

Speaker:

needing to prove something or those nerves that people get when they

Speaker:

get up to sing or they get up to perform of like, am I going

Speaker:

to be good enough? Am I going to mess this up, all that like that.

Speaker:

For what I say, it shouldn't be there. There's no. Once you actually

Speaker:

understand what you are and how this thing works, there's no reason to

Speaker:

evaluate it. We just have to live it right.

Speaker:

So the. The idea of. For a while, that was

Speaker:

going on, and then ultimately, I was working with

Speaker:

this record label when I was 19 years old, and I was in a

Speaker:

situation that was very. Not creative. I was, like, singing other people's

Speaker:

songs and doing this for the sake of being famous.

Speaker:

It was really like, why anybody would get signed to this particular group. We were,

Speaker:

like, put together to be a harmony group,

Speaker:

but we weren't creatively in control. We were, like. We, like, auditioned to

Speaker:

be part of this group. And this idea of being signed to a record label,

Speaker:

everyone's dream. But while I was living it, it was a nightmare. It just didn't

Speaker:

feel good. I didn't get. Get. Get along that well with the girls that I

Speaker:

was paired with. We got along, but it wasn't like, you know, it didn't feel

Speaker:

like the way it was supposed to feel, I think, to be an artist and

Speaker:

create. And so I decided that I was just not going to be a singer

Speaker:

anymore. I decided to quit. My whole life, I had done

Speaker:

nothing but this. My whole life. And I decided that I wanted to find out

Speaker:

who I was without being known as the voice,

Speaker:

because that was how I was known. Like marin's the singer. And I left

Speaker:

my life. I left everything. I had to figure out who the heck

Speaker:

I was. And this is young. I'm 19 years old, but I just. Wow. Yeah,

Speaker:

that's early to do. To do the big pivot.

Speaker:

Soul level. I know that there's something else I'm here for,

Speaker:

but at a teenage. At that time, that's not what marin's

Speaker:

thinking. She's just thinking she's unhappy and she's, you know, whatever. Not.

Speaker:

Not satisfied. But at the same time, at a soul level, what I

Speaker:

come to understand now Is that what was driving me Knew that I had a

Speaker:

different destiny. So I quit everything and didn't know who

Speaker:

I was supposed to be. And a very long story short, I end

Speaker:

up traveling to the other side of the world to find myself. So I get

Speaker:

to australia to try to figure out who I'm supposed to be in this world.

Speaker:

So I had to, like, separate myself from everyone who already had a design on

Speaker:

who marin's gonna be to people who nobody knew me. And I had to, like,

Speaker:

find out parts of myself. And when I got there,

Speaker:

I ended up on an ashram

Speaker:

with that. That someone that I had met there brought me to, where they did

Speaker:

this fire ritual called Agnihotra. I don't know if you've

Speaker:

ever heard of this, but it's a Vedic fire ritual where

Speaker:

in a copper pot, a copper pyramid with cow

Speaker:

dung and brown rice and ghee, you chant these mantras over this

Speaker:

pot. So this was in a

Speaker:

place called Cessnook in Australia, where there was. In 35

Speaker:

years of drought, and there was all this farmland that was

Speaker:

dry and cracked, and you couldn't. Couldn't grow anything on it. But

Speaker:

this ashram that we were on was plentiful.

Speaker:

It had fruit trees and gardens growing massive like

Speaker:

beetroots and kale. And like, it was. It was just abundant.

Speaker:

And there were all these water limitations because of the drought, so there

Speaker:

was legal water limitations. And they weren't watering anything more than

Speaker:

anybody else. What they were doing instead was they were chanting these mantras

Speaker:

over these copper pyramids and then putting the ash on the

Speaker:

ground that were full of this frequency. And it was

Speaker:

creating this whole conversation with Earth that seemed almost

Speaker:

impossible. And so I.

Speaker:

That's so cool. That was my first taste of

Speaker:

what you're talking about here with the voice being part of the quantum

Speaker:

connection and how resonance that moves from us

Speaker:

feeds the soil, feeds the whole biosphere

Speaker:

that's around you. And how even now we could

Speaker:

say people, there's science around this. Like the frequencies that help plants

Speaker:

grow. Plants grow best to Bach. Certain

Speaker:

sounds, right. But people who tend to plants, I don't know if you

Speaker:

do. I sing to my plants all the time, and because of that, they are

Speaker:

growing beautifully. They live so well. It's like they want to

Speaker:

be spoken to and sung to. And the resonance there, that connection

Speaker:

makes such a difference. Right? Bright. So anyway, back here, I saw

Speaker:

it for the first time, and I stayed on that ashram. And the. The things

Speaker:

that started changing in me, my eyesight improved, my. My overall

Speaker:

health improved. There was all of this shifting in myself

Speaker:

from this mantra. And I had this moment of realizing

Speaker:

the voice is not performative. It's not for

Speaker:

entertainment. Like, yes, it's joy inducing for sure.

Speaker:

It increases serotonin, it increases dopamine, it

Speaker:

oxytocin, like all of our bliss chemicals when we sing

Speaker:

are lit. And so, yes, it is for that. That enlightening and

Speaker:

that joy, but it's not for attention and it's not for, like,

Speaker:

seeking validation and all of those things. Our voice is

Speaker:

creative, our Voice literally

Speaker:

creates the physical world. So then as

Speaker:

I started looking into it, I saw, you know, in these ancient texts,

Speaker:

they speak about this, that the human voice is unmanifest form, as you already

Speaker:

heard me say, and that the sou that moves through this body

Speaker:

actually goes through the fifth chakra, which is the center of

Speaker:

manifestation, and it moves this resonance

Speaker:

through the entire form. If you look at the chakra system, we

Speaker:

have earth at the bottom, we have water at the

Speaker:

second, we have fire at the third, we have air at the

Speaker:

fourth. Fifth is ether, sixth is space.

Speaker:

So the ether is the element that we don't get taught in the

Speaker:

West, Right? Well, it's been taught on this

Speaker:

podcast. So our audience is all down with the ether.

Speaker:

Imagine that your voice is a tool that takes all

Speaker:

those other elements, moving sound,

Speaker:

resonance through them, out through the ether, and then

Speaker:

culminating or conjuring is a word. I use all of those

Speaker:

elements to become what you physically

Speaker:

get to experience out there. Right. And this is our

Speaker:

life. Wow. Could you say that one more

Speaker:

time? When you use your totality of your

Speaker:

voice, you're going to breathe and you're going to root down

Speaker:

into the whole body. So sound gets produced through the

Speaker:

entire body, which means that you're. You're

Speaker:

activating earth, water,

Speaker:

fire, air, and that's all moving through the

Speaker:

ether and the space, which is our

Speaker:

mind. When you talk, we said our thoughts are so

Speaker:

important. Right. The mind here or the head, the third eye

Speaker:

is the. What kind of visionary, like, what kind of space can

Speaker:

you create to see that manifestation to

Speaker:

actually happen? So our mind being open is

Speaker:

everything, and our mind being able to be expansive enough to

Speaker:

allow to hold space for all those elements to then

Speaker:

create what you're moving through your throat chakra. When

Speaker:

you're. When you move sound through the whole body, out of the throat, you're

Speaker:

then calling or conjuring all of these elements to come together

Speaker:

to create into what we call physical reality

Speaker:

that which we are expressing out.

Speaker:

Wow. Absolute magic. Absolute

Speaker:

magic. That every one of us

Speaker:

possesses that we all have access to. Right, then.

Speaker:

This isn't about having a specific talent as an

Speaker:

actor or a singer. This is our inherent.

Speaker:

This is what our biology is meant to be doing.

Speaker:

Yes. So what

Speaker:

happens along the way that

Speaker:

stops us from having our. The full expression

Speaker:

of our sound signature. The

Speaker:

outside world, other people's creations,

Speaker:

because we are the creator, but we are first informed

Speaker:

by what the others who have come before us have created.

Speaker:

We have this. False, very false. In

Speaker:

the. In my experience, a depiction of that our

Speaker:

eye, we call this the third eye here at the. At the middle there.

Speaker:

And we say that this would be I1 and I2 are two seeing eyes.

Speaker:

And then our third eye is there. But what actually exists is that our first

Speaker:

eye is our pineal gland. We are visionaries here

Speaker:

to create the world. And our second and third eye get to then

Speaker:

witness our creation. But when we're younger,

Speaker:

we're being informed by the world that's already been created that we enter.

Speaker:

So we look through I1 and I2 and see reality,

Speaker:

and then say, okay, how do I think about and

Speaker:

restructure and create from the reality that exists? And

Speaker:

for a lot of us, that means we're going to limit our potential.

Speaker:

So the depending. I mean, in my work, it's heartbreaking,

Speaker:

but the first time most people open their mouth to sing,

Speaker:

someone around them tells them that they're not good or to shut up. Or now

Speaker:

like, shh. Or obviously you can't sing or whatever it might be.

Speaker:

And I've heard story after story about this. But even if we go without

Speaker:

singing before that, one big yell

Speaker:

that your parents say no in any kind of a harsh way

Speaker:

creates a nervous system response from something that's naturally

Speaker:

moving from us to. And tightens

Speaker:

that muscle or tightens that up. The next time we go to

Speaker:

express ourselves, we're going to have to move through something that

Speaker:

contracted, so we're going to have to really

Speaker:

push through. And the more and more and more that happens, the more and more

Speaker:

contracted we become. So, yes, the vocal cords work

Speaker:

even with very little muscle support. Our breath can move into our

Speaker:

lung and we can make some sound through the vocal cord, but we lose the

Speaker:

capacity to breathe down all the way to our body and support from the

Speaker:

root all the way up. So what you get then, if we're looking at

Speaker:

that system of elements, is we're not accessing earth,

Speaker:

which is shakti, that creates physical reality.

Speaker:

We're not accessing water, which is the ability to move our emotions,

Speaker:

energy in motions, right? And emotion moves

Speaker:

particles. So if we aren't moving our emotions,

Speaker:

we're not moving as much particle as we could be moving to create

Speaker:

some shift in our life. And then we're not firing that

Speaker:

out into the world to catalyze it into creation.

Speaker:

Instead, what we get is some air, which is enough to just

Speaker:

support some vibrational sound here, and a thought process which is

Speaker:

very limited, right? Because we're not actually in this body,

Speaker:

activating the full intelligence of what we are.

Speaker:

So we're Limited to what we can create. We could still think and dream and

Speaker:

all of that, but we can't manifest it because you can't

Speaker:

manifest life without that earth and that water and

Speaker:

that fire. That's how physical world exists. Right? We've got

Speaker:

the soil, we've got the water, and we've got the sun that

Speaker:

activate all the physical life that we get to live. And

Speaker:

then we get our dream that we get to make physical.

Speaker:

But we get. We get condensed and we get stifled and

Speaker:

we get. Corseted is the word I actually use. Like, we get tight

Speaker:

to living these dreams. Like, we still have these ideas, but we

Speaker:

don't have the embodiment energy to actually create that into physical

Speaker:

form.

Speaker:

This. This makes so much sense.

Speaker:

So what do you see when you

Speaker:

support people to access their full sound

Speaker:

signature? Like, it's not, you know. You know, I'm

Speaker:

like, oh, I. I need to learn some breathing techniques because sometimes when I'm doing

Speaker:

a podcast, my voice tightens. Right. But that's just a very,

Speaker:

what you're saying, like a very surface level. You're

Speaker:

talking about accessing something much deeper. And so how I would imagine you

Speaker:

people's lives transform way beyond just how their voice sounds.

Speaker:

Vocal transformation. You can

Speaker:

rebirth yourself whenever you're ready. To every one of us,

Speaker:

I always. The Buddha. The Buddha. Every day, we are born again. It

Speaker:

is what we do today that matters most. It is what we do today

Speaker:

that matters most. It is what we do today that

Speaker:

materializes the most. But we are all carrying around

Speaker:

the story of who we think we are. And we're carrying that around

Speaker:

not just in our concepts, we're carrying that around in our fascia, in our water,

Speaker:

in our body, in our cells. So I can decide to change my

Speaker:

mind, fine. I can convince myself with affirmation that that is

Speaker:

not. But still, the physical form reacts to

Speaker:

the world the way that it's holding memory. So our primary

Speaker:

release has to be somatic. We have to get the

Speaker:

cells to vibrate differently. And our

Speaker:

voice, if you've seen any cymatics, you know, any work of

Speaker:

putting sand on a. On a plate or water in a singing bowl, the

Speaker:

cymatics that get created, our own voice does that to every drop

Speaker:

of water inside of our own cellular structure. So when we start to do

Speaker:

voice work, we're literally expressing the

Speaker:

past out so that the water can

Speaker:

build a whole new self. What I help people with is

Speaker:

profound life changes. I mean, I can honestly tell you that there

Speaker:

is nothing anybody listening what you think might be

Speaker:

10 PhDs away from you or another person's

Speaker:

life. We're talking about quantum here. We're not talking about a time

Speaker:

space reality. We're talking about things that can change on a

Speaker:

dime whenever you're ready to shift the frequency that

Speaker:

you're carrying. I have watched marriages that were done

Speaker:

re completely fall in love again. I have watched women who are infertile

Speaker:

have babies. I have watched people who are hundreds of

Speaker:

thousands of dollars in debt get completely out of that and become their

Speaker:

own success millionaires. Like I've watched. I have watched

Speaker:

health. I've watched heart disease reverse itself. I have watched so

Speaker:

many things go down, it's unbelievable. But

Speaker:

that's why I dedicate my entire life to it. I can tell you there is

Speaker:

nothing that a human cannot reverse

Speaker:

once we decide to change that imprint. And we could say, oh

Speaker:

yeah, it's years and years and years. It's even epigenetics, Right.

Speaker:

But there's study around epigenetics too. And so the

Speaker:

epigene is a protein sheath that is

Speaker:

around the DNA code. And it's literally

Speaker:

depicting what part of our DNA expresses and

Speaker:

doesn't express. And cortisol and adrenaline and all those

Speaker:

stress hormones create that epigene to activate those parts of

Speaker:

us. But all the other stuff that I mentioned already. Dopamine,

Speaker:

serotonin, oxytocin. When you're in a bliss state,

Speaker:

the whole epigene can transform and different parts of your genetics will

Speaker:

start to come out. So when I look at the human

Speaker:

DNA, the epigene is

Speaker:

0.01% of our DNA makeup.

Speaker:

Every single human has access to

Speaker:

99.99% of DNA that

Speaker:

is not the way ours is currently expressing. And

Speaker:

we can change the way we express our DNA just by shifting how that

Speaker:

epigene moves. And the voice has the

Speaker:

power to relieve all of the

Speaker:

stressor hormones that create that continual epigenet expression

Speaker:

and shift how that moves so that you can actually get other

Speaker:

aspects of you to start to show up.

Speaker:

Right. Yeah. No, this, this

Speaker:

is, this is so good because, yeah, we, we

Speaker:

talk a lot, you know, in this corner of the world about

Speaker:

grounding being in natural sunlight,

Speaker:

honoring the light and dark cycles of nature,

Speaker:

because we are filled with liquid crystal

Speaker:

that is being, you know, charged by that

Speaker:

cycle. And we really understand, yeah,

Speaker:

that we've been imprinted and we're holding on to

Speaker:

whatever past traumas or belief systems that have come our

Speaker:

way dealing with material reality. And so

Speaker:

what I'm hearing you say is that the voice

Speaker:

Is like the unlock

Speaker:

for all of that. Yes. And we just

Speaker:

have it here, sitting here right inside of us.

Speaker:

And we were shushed. I mean, we were pacified. We were told

Speaker:

in this world, we are told not to express ourselves

Speaker:

authentically because when we're very, very young, it looks like temper tantrums.

Speaker:

You're crying loud, you're crying in the middle of the night. And like all these

Speaker:

times where your parents need you to be quiet, or you're teachers

Speaker:

in school need you to be quiet, or your priests or your rabbis need you

Speaker:

to be quiet, like everyone, we're taught to keep what our natural

Speaker:

expressive thing is in. But that is our

Speaker:

original intelligence. We express it, we move it out, and we

Speaker:

have a reset. If we don't move it out,

Speaker:

we don't get a reset. We get the repetition of the exact same thing again

Speaker:

and again and again. So now we're looking at layers and layers

Speaker:

of conversation that have been going on internally and that we have not

Speaker:

been allowed to just simply like what we knew when we were babies. We just

Speaker:

went.

Speaker:

It was done. We didn't hold grudges, we didn't have

Speaker:

resentments, we didn't have these stories. We just cried it out

Speaker:

and we moved on. Next. That's what we did when we were very, very

Speaker:

young. But once they tell us we're not allowed to express that

Speaker:

we now have that living inside. So the next time someone does something similar to

Speaker:

what we didn't get to move past, it just makes it worse.

Speaker:

Gets thicker, gets deeper. Right. So

Speaker:

as simple as expressing it out, as simple as something like a primal scream,

Speaker:

which I take people through a lot, just getting

Speaker:

out. And then there's space. And from space, you can

Speaker:

actually make a choice of how you want to move forward,

Speaker:

of how you want to think about something. But if you don't get it out,

Speaker:

you're just going to keep thinking about it and feeling about it the same way

Speaker:

you've always thought about it and felt about it. There's no room for change. Change

Speaker:

where there is not space. Right. So we have to create the

Speaker:

space internally. And the voice helps you express that all

Speaker:

out so that you actually have reflection in space.

Speaker:

And then you can make a better choice moving forward.

Speaker:

So is that where the. The vocal transformation

Speaker:

would start for most people is it is accessing

Speaker:

the expression? Yeah. So the

Speaker:

framework of what I do, there's many different ways that this work

Speaker:

moves, but I'd call it the fundamentals of what I do is a chanting

Speaker:

practice that moves from the root chakra. Up through the crown.

Speaker:

So very basic yoga technique, the Bija mantra is the seed sounds.

Speaker:

But one way, the way that I teach it, that I haven't seen it taught

Speaker:

elsewhere, and if anyone out there is teaching it that way, please come find me

Speaker:

because I want to compare notes, is that there's a way to

Speaker:

support them that I, in my yoga teacher trainings, was never

Speaker:

taught. So it's not just a simple like repeating

Speaker:

of a sound. It's where in the body it's placed, it's how it's supported in

Speaker:

there. And you're actually opening up the physical aspect of that

Speaker:

part of the body. So layer by layer, from the

Speaker:

time we're conceived until who you are now, all this stuff is stored

Speaker:

inside. And it's all getting in the way of your ability to

Speaker:

plug into the quantum field in the way that you want to,

Speaker:

that one wants to. And instead what we plug in with is all of the

Speaker:

unprocessed things that are standing in the way of the person that we want to

Speaker:

create now. So you start with a chanting practice. It takes nine

Speaker:

months to do the first phase of it, which is the exact amount of time

Speaker:

it took to be born originally. You can use your

Speaker:

voice or working with your voice, you can rebirth your entire system. System.

Speaker:

And by going through each chakra for 40 days, you

Speaker:

can begin to open the energy field,

Speaker:

see what's still sitting in there, see what's needs to go

Speaker:

and what is maybe undercharged and needs to amp up. And

Speaker:

you begin to wake up these wheels of energy and get

Speaker:

yourself into your correct alignment, which then you just

Speaker:

see the whole process. The physical world starts to change around you.

Speaker:

Your health improves, all of your habits start

Speaker:

to change. And the reason why that happens is because a chanting practice

Speaker:

increases alpha brainwave state. So

Speaker:

your voice, when it's used in its totality,

Speaker:

requires your diaphragm to move down. When it does

Speaker:

that, it's going to press into your gut. Your gut is your

Speaker:

instinctual center. It's going to open up

Speaker:

the area of the heart simultaneously, which is your emotional

Speaker:

center. And as you move the sound through all those resonators, it's going to

Speaker:

increase brain alpha brainwave in your gray matter,

Speaker:

which is going to increase your, your mind's ability to

Speaker:

make new brain pathways. So your neuroplasticity

Speaker:

increases. And when you're actually doing a chanting practice,

Speaker:

you're creating an open field where all of these

Speaker:

intelligences are working together congruently.

Speaker:

Most humans function very heavily one way or the other.

Speaker:

I'd say most of us are headstrong. Yeah. Some of us are, though.

Speaker:

Highly. Like someone who's physically highly challenged will

Speaker:

be. You know, their gut keeps them in fear of like, a world that will

Speaker:

harm them. Someone who emotionally has been damaged a lot has a heart

Speaker:

that closes off and prevents connection at an emotional level.

Speaker:

Right. That's normally where the. The brain or the head

Speaker:

has to cope. Like tons of coping mechanisms and. And

Speaker:

strategy and logic. So we need to become a

Speaker:

completely congruent vessel. All three of these brains

Speaker:

are as important as each other. So we need to take it out

Speaker:

of the head and give some of it back to the body. And when you're

Speaker:

chanting or singing or using your voice in this way, in

Speaker:

this original way, all three of those brains will be

Speaker:

congruent. So you get to reset the system. You get

Speaker:

everything to come back into your most. Your highest levels of intelligence.

Speaker:

Wow. Okay. Yeah. And so it's like the, the

Speaker:

sound. It's funny. My voice feels

Speaker:

better talking to you than it did than it

Speaker:

normally does. Usually I can feel like the more I talk, I. It

Speaker:

starts to get tired and close up. And now I'm like, oh, so here

Speaker:

I'm picking up your. Your vibes, Marin.

Speaker:

So it sounds like the. The. The voice is.

Speaker:

Is clearing the field and also like a kind of

Speaker:

internal. Almost the way you

Speaker:

described it with the muscles that the sound is.

Speaker:

Is having like a physical impact on. On

Speaker:

our biology. Yes. So you're.

Speaker:

There's a couple of reasons. It has to do with the way the muscles work.

Speaker:

The. The average human is sucking everything

Speaker:

in all the time. We're so used to, like, holding in our stomachs. Holding

Speaker:

look good. And to also just learning how to hold back

Speaker:

what's really in there has created this wall and this kind of

Speaker:

coarsening, as I said before. So when you do this voice work, you're actually

Speaker:

working muscles in a very different way. You're. You're

Speaker:

opening what we've become so tight around

Speaker:

so your organs get more room to move.

Speaker:

Your breath changes as that diaphragm drops

Speaker:

so that your. Your whole system is detoxifying itself.

Speaker:

It's incredible. Most people don't breathe correctly. We walk

Speaker:

around breathing in a coping breath. We do not breathe the way we were designed

Speaker:

to breathe. So when we do voice work, it retrains

Speaker:

the breath. Now if I were to say, like, take a deep

Speaker:

breath. Right. See, some people would breathe

Speaker:

up into their shoulders. This is how we breathe. But this is not

Speaker:

the way we're designed to breathe. As I'M sure you know, but the. This is

Speaker:

feeding the head. And this has all come down to us bringing

Speaker:

prana to the head, bringing our life force up. We're designed to breathe

Speaker:

diaphragm down, and the bellies comes out and the waist

Speaker:

comes out, and the low back even expands, and the root of the body

Speaker:

drops to the earth. Our breath, every time we

Speaker:

breathe is a way that our soul and our spirit takes our body and

Speaker:

claims it. And when we breathe that way, our

Speaker:

whole nervous system goes into parasympathetic.

Speaker:

Our whole body says, okay, I'm here. And all this

Speaker:

intelligence from the root to the crown and back is functioning together.

Speaker:

But when we breathe up, we're breathing into the upper lung,

Speaker:

which sends a signal to the body that we're stressed and our sympathetic

Speaker:

nervous system takes over. So the vast majority of people that

Speaker:

I work with start with a sympathetic nervous system breath.

Speaker:

So just that alone, to support sound, we need to breathe the diaphragm

Speaker:

down and then activate muscle in a way that

Speaker:

supports that diaphragm to stay down and then

Speaker:

really controls how fast it returns to its original point.

Speaker:

So once we actually train our voice down, our

Speaker:

whole breath will, after I say about 90 days, takes about three months

Speaker:

for somebody who breathes up to be switched into a

Speaker:

downward breath. That in itself will change a human life.

Speaker:

That in itself will create a whole different level of energy

Speaker:

and vitality. Your bowels function differently, your heart is

Speaker:

different. Everything about your life, like the number of people three months

Speaker:

into working with me that are like, I don't understand. I'm actually present.

Speaker:

I'm here, I'm in the world because the breath is in the body.

Speaker:

And that's the way we're designed with every single breath. So those

Speaker:

people who do know how to breathe with their diaphragm, who maybe do breath

Speaker:

work or take yoga classes or have worked with somebody who's taught them that

Speaker:

still, when I work with them and I say, take a deep breath, they'll breathe

Speaker:

down. But if I ask them if they breathe that way all the time,

Speaker:

they'll say no. When I concentrate on it,

Speaker:

yes. So you. You know how to move the diaphragm, but it's

Speaker:

not the way you're breathing every day. And so for that, you're surviving, you're not

Speaker:

thriving. And once we get that breath locked

Speaker:

in, because when I. When we talk about voice work, the

Speaker:

voice is the voice is the voice. So whether you're speaking,

Speaker:

singing, chanting, screaming, whispering, any way you use

Speaker:

your voice, the muscles are Always all the same.

Speaker:

So anybody who looks at me and says, like, I can speak, but I can't

Speaker:

sing, like, no, that is not true. The difference

Speaker:

between speaking and singing is just sustain. When I

Speaker:

speak, I use all the same muscles which keeps my

Speaker:

voice in my body. The same resonators are being activated, which means

Speaker:

that when I speak, I'll be moving through my emotional centers and

Speaker:

through my, like, embodied sense self. You'll. You're going to meet me

Speaker:

and my real vibrational frequency. And then when I

Speaker:

sing, I just have to sustain that note

Speaker:

a little more. That's all. The

Speaker:

only difference is that I'm going to use that muscle a little bit more so

Speaker:

that I hold a tone longer than I have to when I'm speaking.

Speaker:

But we immediately in our brain say, I'm not a singer.

Speaker:

Yeah, no, that's. I say that all the time. Everyone,

Speaker:

mark my words, everyone can sing. If you have pitch problems,

Speaker:

it's probably because you're not in your circadian rhythm. You're not

Speaker:

really listening from your body to what sound is coming to you.

Speaker:

You're listening through your ears and you already have a thought process that

Speaker:

says, I don't hear pitch. Well, so you don't actually hear the pitch.

Speaker:

You hear a pitch coming through thought layers that you can't even track.

Speaker:

Right. Actually get in the body and feel

Speaker:

a sound. We can replicate that sound and every human

Speaker:

can get to that place. They just might have to work a little harder than

Speaker:

others. Wow.

Speaker:

So you. Did you just say that there's a connection between pitch and

Speaker:

circadian rhythm? Potentially, yeah. What

Speaker:

is. Say more because we're

Speaker:

not. We're not in our body and we're not connected to

Speaker:

the. The resonance of the Earth, the Schumann resonance, you

Speaker:

know, the resonance of the planet. Her own heartbeat that matches our own

Speaker:

heartbeat. So when we are living in a lot of

Speaker:

artificiality and when we are not sleeping well and when we are, you know,

Speaker:

running on all these different coping mechanisms that we have in our body,

Speaker:

they're all just layers of distortion in our field.

Speaker:

So when a tone comes at you, you can't

Speaker:

be with that sound. There's too much

Speaker:

distortion. So our job is to get the

Speaker:

distortion cleared. We have to get to the

Speaker:

present. We have to be in a nervous system that's grounded

Speaker:

and we have to be open to receive that sound. We do not just hear

Speaker:

sound through our ears, we hear it through every bit of our body.

Speaker:

Our whole body is a receiver. So when we only hear with

Speaker:

our ears or when we only. When we think with our heads, right? And we

Speaker:

hear a sound through our head and we're not in the

Speaker:

resonance of everything. It's much easier to not be able to hear

Speaker:

pitch correctly or to not be able to iterate pitch

Speaker:

correctly. You can hear it, but you can't, you

Speaker:

can't hold it because you're not actually in the body. And those pitches

Speaker:

are made from the whole form, not just from a vocal

Speaker:

cord in the head. It's. That's made from the whole body.

Speaker:

Right? Would

Speaker:

that translate out from pitch as well to

Speaker:

say, a person's ability to receive

Speaker:

affection or support? Of course.

Speaker:

It's all the same thing. Everything is sound. If

Speaker:

you haven't heard that one yet out there, if you don't realize this,

Speaker:

everything is making sound. Just because our

Speaker:

senses are not able to pick up certain frequencies

Speaker:

and really we pick up a tiny amount of what's really going on in

Speaker:

this planet. Just because we are not

Speaker:

sensorily plugged in to pick it up at a certain hertz

Speaker:

or a certain frequency doesn't mean it's not vibrating and it's not

Speaker:

making sound. It's just not making sound within our auditory ability to hear

Speaker:

it because. But our body still feels it. And that information

Speaker:

that's happening here that we're not consciously aware

Speaker:

of, is still informing everything. So when you're

Speaker:

in someone's auric field, their heartbeat, the

Speaker:

way their pulse is moving and their breath and everything, all of that

Speaker:

is your body's being informed by when they're close to you. And your

Speaker:

ability to receive that and to be open and even share that.

Speaker:

This is all heart chakra stuff, like your ability to, to give

Speaker:

and to receive must be imbalance. But when the

Speaker:

head is protecting or when we're closed off in these ways, we, we can't

Speaker:

receive it. So we're basically.

Speaker:

I, I'd say the human race is basically in a,

Speaker:

in a challenge or what Our true test is how, how open can we stay?

Speaker:

How much space can we contain? How much room can we make for all

Speaker:

opinions, for all ways of being? How, how

Speaker:

much can, can we feel

Speaker:

when we see a world where so much is painful? We're in a

Speaker:

world right now where we lose track of just how pleasurable it

Speaker:

actually is as well. And we focus on how painful it is. And

Speaker:

we keep reiterating like the pain

Speaker:

we see with the way that we're treating each other in the world,

Speaker:

we're actually getting numb feeling because

Speaker:

it's too much to feel. But the greatest

Speaker:

of art is made by those who can feel it

Speaker:

all. And so our great

Speaker:

test, I think, is to not close this, not close

Speaker:

down is to keep sharing who we are and

Speaker:

to allow others to be received and share who they are. And

Speaker:

when we can open up that conversation, we realize

Speaker:

that we don't have to hold all the pain of the world. It's not our

Speaker:

job. The pain of the world moves through us. It moves out of us.

Speaker:

It comes in, it goes out. And so does all the joy and all the

Speaker:

pleasure and all the beauty. It's not only pain here, it's

Speaker:

everything. But we don't want to feel the

Speaker:

bad stuff, what we call the bad stuff. And we shut that

Speaker:

down, and we could take that to the voice. The reason why people do not

Speaker:

mostly share is because

Speaker:

maybe they weren't great the first time they sang. They didn't

Speaker:

compare to who their favorite artists were, so they think they're bad. They

Speaker:

don't want to feel bad, so they don't try

Speaker:

or they experience

Speaker:

somebody outside making them feel bad about what they

Speaker:

just shared. Whether that's a singing voice or whether that's my truth, like,

Speaker:

this is how I feel. And someone said, nope, how you feel is not allowed.

Speaker:

How you feel is wrong. Once we feel the pain

Speaker:

of not being received, we start to shut it down and say,

Speaker:

I don't want to feel that pain anymore, so I'll stop sharing.

Speaker:

Instead of. They just are limited to what they can

Speaker:

receive. But what's happening through me is the absolute truth.

Speaker:

So let me be the truth, regardless of what

Speaker:

other people's responses are to it. And then once I have

Speaker:

it expressed into the world, it empowers me to keep on

Speaker:

growing. And I think that. I think that

Speaker:

a lot of us are stuck. We're just stuck.

Speaker:

And expression is the key out. The voice is the key out. Once

Speaker:

we. And we knew it from infants, from babies. Once we express it,

Speaker:

it's not in us anymore, and we can move forward,

Speaker:

but we are holding too much of it in. So we stop. We just

Speaker:

numb. We just stop feeling. And the thing with

Speaker:

life is that the less you allow yourself to feel, the less you will

Speaker:

allow in. You can't change. You can't

Speaker:

manifest your life. You can't. Yeah.

Speaker:

You can't connect to everything that is. When you won't allow

Speaker:

everything that is to be. When you have it on your

Speaker:

tiny little terms, you'll get life on your tiny little

Speaker:

terms. Why? Because we are the creator

Speaker:

of this reality. Every one of us gets to live this life here.

Speaker:

Like I Think that the human birth is the golden ticket. I tell

Speaker:

everyone all the time, we think that this earth is so difficult

Speaker:

and so painful. And we see, we keep telling that story and we keep creating

Speaker:

that truth. But we really got the golden ticket. The

Speaker:

guts, the instincts, the emotions and the cognitive,

Speaker:

intellectual. And we have the ability to make the

Speaker:

world like to create whatever we could dream

Speaker:

into existence. So what are we

Speaker:

dreaming? And why do we keep creating the

Speaker:

dream of war and dissonance and turmoil and

Speaker:

lack and all those things like that? It does not

Speaker:

only exist here, it exists here if that's what you dream. But

Speaker:

so does the total opposite exist here.

Speaker:

So we have to decide who we are and

Speaker:

who we want to be here and what we're willing to put out. But

Speaker:

the world does not just give it to you. It doesn't.

Speaker:

Well, and it feels like, like such a risk.

Speaker:

I work with a lot of people and I've been working with myself,

Speaker:

obviously, right. And it's like we'll build the dream and build the vision

Speaker:

and gain the knowledge and a lot of us get stuck

Speaker:

just like study more and study more. I don't know enough yet,

Speaker:

I don't know enough yet to go out into the world. And

Speaker:

it's the moment where it's time to take a step

Speaker:

and be seen and be expressed.

Speaker:

I'm a new health coach and I'd love to work with people who need

Speaker:

help with their digestion and

Speaker:

a freeze point for so many of us. And then

Speaker:

we may or may not work for it, but then there's always more and more.

Speaker:

So I'm hearing you saying, like we. You're helping

Speaker:

us to create a sense of safety

Speaker:

within our own selves with our. The tools

Speaker:

that we were born with so that

Speaker:

that risk doesn't feel impossible. All

Speaker:

yes, you will. You will resonate. The world will bring you what you

Speaker:

are. So if you're full of fear,

Speaker:

you'll meet people who will see your fear and they will not come to you

Speaker:

because they'll be afraid to come to you. Right.

Speaker:

What the voice work will do was, is it will reset your nervous system and

Speaker:

it will build your confidence, which I say is

Speaker:

primordial. The confidence comes with the body itself.

Speaker:

There is nobody out there that can break your confidence. There is

Speaker:

nobody out there that gives you your confidence. Either

Speaker:

people can support you and put wind under those wings. And if

Speaker:

you're fortunate, people will see your gifts right off

Speaker:

the bat and will start to, to help you. But that's not

Speaker:

the case of everybody. Some people Write such underdog stories where

Speaker:

no nobody around them supports them. And they have to

Speaker:

prove to themselves as a soul to this world,

Speaker:

that even if nobody sees it, I am it,

Speaker:

right? And there's the confidence. It comes with the birth.

Speaker:

The fact. The mere fact that you were given a body, that you were given

Speaker:

your heart, that you were given the dream and the visions that you have. The

Speaker:

mere fact that that even exists is enough for every one of us to have

Speaker:

confidence in who we are. But our society did not

Speaker:

give us that confidence. Our society is an ego

Speaker:

driven society that taught us again, like I said from the beginning, to

Speaker:

compare and to compete and to be jealous and envious,

Speaker:

to want what others have. And we, we look outside of ourselves

Speaker:

for some level of validation that is unnecessary.

Speaker:

We already are it. When we do

Speaker:

this voice work, we reclaim all of that it ness. And

Speaker:

then we get share it. And you know, there are people who would look at

Speaker:

me and say, maren, you're crazy. I'll never do that work with you. And there

Speaker:

are people who say, okay, I feel this off you and I want what you're

Speaker:

talking about. Let's go, right? What I know is that this

Speaker:

works. So I will show up and give it to

Speaker:

anybody who's ready because it works. So to these

Speaker:

healthcare for these people, you're talking about if you know

Speaker:

that certain supplements, that certain breath practices, that certain

Speaker:

psychological whatever it might be that you need to help your digestive system,

Speaker:

if you know that it could benefit another person,

Speaker:

even if you only know the first two pages of the book, but you know

Speaker:

that if you give them the first two pages, they will begin to

Speaker:

have healthier bowel movements and a clearer state of mind, which of course

Speaker:

they're interlinked, right? Why would you not put that out

Speaker:

there? You're helping

Speaker:

somebody else. And this is the biggest thing.

Speaker:

Our voice is our contribution to the world.

Speaker:

It's not about us. I ask people all the time,

Speaker:

whose voice do you think it is?

Speaker:

It is a mixture. It is nothing more and nothing less than the

Speaker:

planet which is the body that you're in and the soul that

Speaker:

came to incarnate. My soul's not named

Speaker:

Marin. Marin is the personality construct that I

Speaker:

developed to navigate the world, right? And the name that my parents

Speaker:

gave me. My soul came in with a

Speaker:

purpose. It came in with a contribution that then

Speaker:

activates the body. And these two things will make

Speaker:

something happen here in life, right? Whatever that might be. So

Speaker:

when we deal with voice work, or when we're looking at our voice it's our

Speaker:

soul's dynamic life urge for truthful

Speaker:

expression. What is your truth?

Speaker:

Your soul's truth? We have to get beyond the person

Speaker:

that was created by an ego driven world that we

Speaker:

were taught to protect. This ego, God forbid

Speaker:

anybody tells me I'm wrong. I've been told I'm wrong so many times

Speaker:

now that I'm like, okay, okay, I'll be wrong, I'll die wrong.

Speaker:

But at the same time, people who've shown up for this and do this work

Speaker:

with me, they see what it does and I'm not the one doing this for

Speaker:

them. They do it for themselves. They show up, I show them

Speaker:

how to do it. They have to do it. I cannot heal you.

Speaker:

You have to heal you. But your voice, your own voice and this work will

Speaker:

do it. So when you're dealing with someone who like what

Speaker:

you're saying, people who say, I'm new out the gate, I don't know enough, I

Speaker:

have more to do. All I would say is, what can you do to

Speaker:

help somebody today and

Speaker:

find people who need that help? And whether or not you're

Speaker:

perfect, it doesn't matter. I'm not a perfect person. Nobody's a perfect person. Like, we're

Speaker:

all still on this incredible evolutionary track that hopefully we're all

Speaker:

going to be evolving until we're not here anymore. So there's always room

Speaker:

for growth and all of that. But if

Speaker:

you're scared to share, that's all people are gonna

Speaker:

feel like. When I'm talking about singing,

Speaker:

when I see people start to sing and they're nervous, they're scared to sing,

Speaker:

the first thing happens is that they don't breathe.

Speaker:

They're in their head, their heart is pounding, their tongue is numb, it's moving.

Speaker:

And they just like get the song, the first lyric in and they just like

Speaker:

jump out of the gate. And you can feel that they're nervous, right? So

Speaker:

the whole audience knows they're scared. And what, and what happens?

Speaker:

The audience is scared. We're

Speaker:

nervous for the person we're not in the song. We're

Speaker:

in the nerves that we're looking at and it's making us nervous, right?

Speaker:

So our number one responsibility is to

Speaker:

be what we are, become the song. I always tell anybody who's

Speaker:

listening who sings that three count breath at the beginning of a song is

Speaker:

everything. If you're scared to sing, wait until you're not

Speaker:

before you start to sing. If an audience has to wait

Speaker:

a while to watch you, until you're ready to breathe

Speaker:

and actually Sing the song without it being about you singing.

Speaker:

Instead, you actually become the song. It's worth the

Speaker:

wait. We'll wait five minutes, we'll sit there and be like, I wonder why we're

Speaker:

waiting. But when you actually come out the gate

Speaker:

from the embodied place of singing the song, that's why

Speaker:

we sing. We sing to move

Speaker:

emotion. We sing to tell a story. We sing

Speaker:

to share something authentically. But when there's too much

Speaker:

I in the way of all of that, that's what you get.

Speaker:

You get. I. You get even. Some of the greatest artists

Speaker:

that we know, they're just doing vocal gymnastics. They're not really making you feel

Speaker:

anything. They're just showing you how great they are. Right.

Speaker:

But what about, like, becoming the song?

Speaker:

That's what we're true. Art is born. That's where. That's why

Speaker:

we share. We don't. We're not the singer. We're the

Speaker:

song. So back to life. Let's take

Speaker:

it out of that music. You're not the person

Speaker:

who's teaching someone how to get a healthy body, how to get a healthy

Speaker:

gastrointestinal system. Right. You are the. The

Speaker:

message itself. You are the teaching itself of, like, here,

Speaker:

you need help. This is how you get your help. I'm here to share

Speaker:

with you the information. I'm not here to share with you, me.

Speaker:

And the faster we can get. Get to that, I think

Speaker:

just the more clients you're going to get.

Speaker:

Whether or not she becomes successful, this is about, how can

Speaker:

she actually serve the world, or he served the world.

Speaker:

And the more we can align ourselves with that, the easier it is to share

Speaker:

what's going on. Yes. Because

Speaker:

all of these. All of these choices that we make are really just

Speaker:

spiritual growth exercises.

Speaker:

It feels like, oh, I. I have to, you know, learn how

Speaker:

to record something and put it on the Internet. It's a spiritual growth

Speaker:

exercise, and you are giving us

Speaker:

a profoundly overlooked tool. Yes.

Speaker:

So do you want to feel very quickly? I'm not sure how much. Yeah. Want

Speaker:

to feel really quickly what it's like differently.

Speaker:

Yeah. As I was saying just before about the singer, like, the throat gets

Speaker:

tight and the tongue goes numb and the heartbeat starts to race. And when that

Speaker:

happens, the first thing that happens is the breath moves up

Speaker:

to that breath we were talking about before. So you

Speaker:

up here. Yeah. You're losing lyrics. You start like, your

Speaker:

head's just got you right. So the key. And I, like, feel my

Speaker:

throat tighten. Right. Especially if I have to. If

Speaker:

I'm, like, giving a presentation it's like the first 10 minutes it's like flood. And

Speaker:

then the longer I talk it's like. And I can like, oh, there it goes.

Speaker:

I don't know why, but I'm probably, I'm not breathing. Okay.

Speaker:

The breath and then also the head. When the head takes the voice,

Speaker:

the throat closes up towards the head.

Speaker:

When the heart takes the voice, the throat opens down towards

Speaker:

the heart. So we always want

Speaker:

the voice to move through the heart which

Speaker:

is the largest resonator. Our sound mostly comes from

Speaker:

down in here and moves through here up to the

Speaker:

head so we get to those higher notes of our range. So we want the

Speaker:

impetus of our voice or the way it moves to be a downward breath and

Speaker:

a downward support to let sound come through the chest. So let's just take our

Speaker:

hands on the waist and take a breath

Speaker:

into the waist. So feel your breath

Speaker:

come down and the waist go wide and the strength there. Can you

Speaker:

feel that strength? Yeah. Okay, let's exhale that.

Speaker:

Let's do it again. And I want you to feel what's happening as you do

Speaker:

that with your whole throat area and your whole upper chest. So breathe into the

Speaker:

waist and

Speaker:

see if you could feel the expansion. So the chest

Speaker:

feels like it expands, but the sides of the throat also get wider.

Speaker:

Can you feel that? Yeah. Okay, so let's do that

Speaker:

one more time. Breathe in and fill that up.

Speaker:

Feel that with. And now suck your stomach in

Speaker:

and feel what happens instead.

Speaker:

It all closes down, right? Yeah. Everything

Speaker:

collapses. So the exact

Speaker:

replica of what happens here at the bottom of the body is what's

Speaker:

happening at the top. If our breath goes up and we suck our

Speaker:

stomach in, we're closing. Throat chakra head is going to control everything

Speaker:

because none of our low body is activated. But if we get the breath to

Speaker:

the lower body and we open that up, we now

Speaker:

have support muscles down here. You could feel that like strength at the

Speaker:

bottom that is going to send sound up through.

Speaker:

So the throat is open, the chest is open and the body's nice and strong.

Speaker:

And this is how we should feel when we speak all the time. This

Speaker:

is. You'll feel confident, you'll feel empowered, you'll feel in your body

Speaker:

and present level headed open hearted when we get our

Speaker:

voice down in here. So let's just do an ah, a nice

Speaker:

open eye to see what that feels like. If we breathe down to the waist

Speaker:

once that waist is strong, what I want you to do now is I want

Speaker:

you to press the waist into the hands. So not only is

Speaker:

the wide. The waist. When you first breathe, it gets nice and strong. Now I

Speaker:

want you to take those obliques, and I want you to expand them even

Speaker:

further. Okay. Strong side body.

Speaker:

And then we're just going to drop the open jaw to an ah. Okay,

Speaker:

so let's feel that. Breathe into the waist. Press

Speaker:

the waist into the hands. Drop the jaw.

Speaker:

Oh, yeah. Now that, you know

Speaker:

one more time. Your jaw. The smile gets in the way. So we want the

Speaker:

jaw. I'm having fun. And keep laughing.

Speaker:

Okay. And just let sound move,

Speaker:

because what you're going to feel is the whole channel of sound that moves through

Speaker:

you. It's a very powerful exercise. Yeah, I felt like a pillar. Almost

Speaker:

like a. Like a. Like an empty

Speaker:

pillar. Yes, exactly. Is your connection

Speaker:

to universal life force energy. Ah is the sound that

Speaker:

connects us to the entire universe, which is where Aum comes from.

Speaker:

And Amen and Allah and Amun and all

Speaker:

those words that we have. Ah is the sound that opens up this

Speaker:

channel to connect us to all the power that we have.

Speaker:

Right. So let's feel that together. If we feel the waist go wide,

Speaker:

we're going to open the entire channel for a big open ah. See how much

Speaker:

ah you can make and feel. If you could feel it moving through

Speaker:

your heart as well. So you not only have the waist here, but you

Speaker:

could feel sound coming through the chest. See if you could feel that. Let's breathe

Speaker:

in. Press the waist wide. Drop the jaw.

Speaker:

Oh, wow. You feel that?

Speaker:

Yeah. So there's your. It took me a few

Speaker:

tries, but that last one, I think I integrated. Your instructions,

Speaker:

and I really felt it. You feel the waist strong.

Speaker:

You feel the heart, and now the throat

Speaker:

is open, and you have all of this sound. This sound

Speaker:

is the bedrock of the voice in all the

Speaker:

ways we use it. So when I speak, I feel that

Speaker:

pillar, my words. I choose my words

Speaker:

from my mind of what I want to share, but it

Speaker:

moves sound through my emotional center as well. Right. So my voice is

Speaker:

now encompassing every part of my being. And when I

Speaker:

speak, my words are wrapping around that

Speaker:

open pillar of sound. Nothing is collapsed in here

Speaker:

and just kind of small and tight and sort of kind of doing

Speaker:

its thing. Right? Everything is supported, supported in this open channel.

Speaker:

And now I speak, and you can hear how much sound resonance

Speaker:

is there. I'm conducting more energy,

Speaker:

and this way my voice is way more impactful. As I send it out

Speaker:

into the world, those particles are going to be moving way

Speaker:

faster than they are. If I just kind of ask for what I want

Speaker:

in this kind of. Can I have that? Is this. Is it okay for me

Speaker:

to be who I am? I really love if we would do

Speaker:

right. Instead, it's here I am world moving

Speaker:

sound, resonance out into the quantum field moving

Speaker:

earth, fire, water, air, space, ether

Speaker:

out into the world. Watch how fast you start to manifest

Speaker:

things. Watch how fast your clients sign up with you. Watch how fast

Speaker:

the love of your life enters your world. Watch how fast that

Speaker:

money that you need to get into the bank gets into the bank. Just all

Speaker:

of it, whatever it might be. Watch how fast that brilliant idea that you

Speaker:

think that you can't come up with because you open the channel

Speaker:

of universal consciousness and it all starts to

Speaker:

move through you.

Speaker:

Incredible. Yeah. And I can. I mean, just

Speaker:

doing those few rounds with you, I'm in a completely different

Speaker:

place. I can feel like there's tingles. All

Speaker:

the tingles are happening.

Speaker:

Vera, this is such amazing work. I love it

Speaker:

so much. As I said at the beginning, when I found you and your

Speaker:

website, I was like, oh my goodness, I've

Speaker:

been looking and searching. So please let us know

Speaker:

how, how we can find you. I know there will be people who would

Speaker:

love to, after hearing this, love to come to a retreat or work with you

Speaker:

in some way. How does that happen? Beautiful. So my Instagram

Speaker:

is Vocal Underscore Transformation. My website

Speaker:

is vocal transformation.com and

Speaker:

I do, I have retreats all, all over the world throughout

Speaker:

the year. I'm in upstate New York. I hold some in New

Speaker:

York, but mostly traveling. I do have,

Speaker:

I have online courses. I have one on one coaching

Speaker:

for the truly dedicated student who feels like they

Speaker:

need the one on one teacher. And I also do a nine

Speaker:

month cohort every year where I take people through the entire

Speaker:

chanting practice in a group and we go through this whole

Speaker:

rebirth together. So there's so many ways to plug into

Speaker:

amazing. When is, when is your next

Speaker:

cohort happening? They start in September, so

Speaker:

I just. Okay, I just started this one. So next year.

Speaker:

So next September for the live cohort,

Speaker:

vocaltransformation.com to find a retreat coming

Speaker:

up near you, recorded work

Speaker:

and one on one options. Yes.

Speaker:

Amazing. And you mentioned you are in an upcoming documentary. What was

Speaker:

that called? It's called she Healed. It's a

Speaker:

biohacking documentary that they just made them. They just

Speaker:

released one called Biohack Yourself Lally. And they're

Speaker:

putting this one out this year about women's health and

Speaker:

how biohacking isn't really a female led industry,

Speaker:

but this is around women's health and it's lots

Speaker:

of different biohacking tools. It felt really good to bring something that is this.

Speaker:

Yes. Deep. Yeah. Because we're way beyond

Speaker:

biohacking with all of this.

Speaker:

To reduce the quantum world to biohacking is. Yeah.

Speaker:

It's a little reductive, but helpful. Helpful in many ways.

Speaker:

It will all the way so good.

Speaker:

But yes. I mean, this is. This is deeply profound work.

Speaker:

And I think we all,

Speaker:

you know, there are certain sort of fundamentals, I think to health.

Speaker:

And I would. I would now include doing void,

Speaker:

you know, connecting to our voice and our sound signature

Speaker:

as a fundamental healing tool. So

Speaker:

thank you for following your dreams, for opening this space.

Speaker:

It's so funny. You're the third woman I've interviewed in a week who has a

Speaker:

story of walking away from traditional media

Speaker:

just because she was like, no. And the

Speaker:

opportunity was right there. And they.

Speaker:

And you all kept walking to find your true. Your true path.

Speaker:

So thank you for doing that. Thank you. It's world changing.

Speaker:

Thank whatever horses that be that would just like no Marin in this

Speaker:

lifetime. You're not going to sell your soul to industry. Yep.

Speaker:

Good. We'll keep going. And I just want to say one last thing if I

Speaker:

can. Sure. Yeah. Please. My whole entire life is

Speaker:

for. Is to see the awakening of what it is we are.

Speaker:

And our conversation today was so much about how who we think we

Speaker:

are gets in the way of all of what we are.

Speaker:

And when we do this voice work, we become the tuning fork

Speaker:

for the entirety of this realm. Not just for humans,

Speaker:

for the animals, for the trees, for the plants, for the waters. Like what we

Speaker:

are capable of moving energetically through our

Speaker:

system can be of such great benefit to this planet.

Speaker:

So I chose not to go to industry standards of how like man

Speaker:

decides the business of life needs to look. And I

Speaker:

chose to instead work for the powers that be, which is

Speaker:

truly this incredible planet that we're.

Speaker:

We're lucky enough to be born into and like to be a part of in

Speaker:

these bodies. And so I feel like right now the human race

Speaker:

has. Has a decision we need to make about what our

Speaker:

places here and what we're going to do on this earth as

Speaker:

humans. Like, where is humanity? It seems to be something that

Speaker:

we're losing sight of. And so this voice work is

Speaker:

such an important and very powerful key if

Speaker:

to help humanity reclaim that heart center, to

Speaker:

reclaim what we are. And when we reclaim this,

Speaker:

we will see this entire world change. We will bring it

Speaker:

back to the goodness of what it is. So I just. If

Speaker:

you at all feel a call to finding your voice in service to

Speaker:

that, please come find me. Yes.

Speaker:

Yes. Beautifully put. Thank you for

Speaker:

expressing that. And, yeah, I have nothing to add,

Speaker:

that is. We're on the same page.

Speaker:

It's funny. I'm just remembering I occasionally

Speaker:

do, like, solo casts, and I did one where I was

Speaker:

called your voice matters. And

Speaker:

it meant more than I even realized when I said it at the time.

Speaker:

Our voices matter. We are. We

Speaker:

are. We got the golden ticket. Let's. Let's go for

Speaker:

it.

Speaker:

Thank you, Maren. I would love to do this again sometime.

Speaker:

Thank you so much for having me.
