Alchemy of Sound

I want to sing like the birds sing not worrying about who hears and what they think.

Uncover your authentic voice – the voice that is hidden behind old trauma imprints and conditioned responses, behind all ‘shoulds’, and judgements of right or wrong. This voice is accessed from a place of deep listening and silence. From here your true voice, your heart’s voice, can arise effortlessly and be heard and witnessed by yourself. Your voice knows how to express itself directly without thinking. Your sound informs you and reflects back to you different aspects of yourself when listened to from a place of inner spaciousness.

This is a journey of self-discovery and self-awareness that leads you deeper into who you are.

True healing begins with awareness; awareness of your energy, your body, your emotions, your thoughts and your spirit. It allows you to see and embrace yourself as you are with compassion and love, to express anything that comes up, and with practice look through and beyond the veils of illusion that keep you separate from your real power, passion and full potential.

There is no need to be a musician or singer for this exploration. There are no expectations to meet.

Simply:

  • allow your unique expression, resonance and vibration to emerge as it reveals itself in the moment
  • experience the power of your sound as it catalyzes change and healing in your body and energy field
  • enter silence through the gateway of sound
  • receive the wisdom of your heart and allow its insights to transform and guide you
  • discover tools that can help you take your healing into your own hands

You will :

  • learn transformational vocal exercises such as mantras, chants and improvised song
  • discover the Indian music scale as a body-centered singing map
  • deepen your emotional intelligence and creativity through an exploration of the musical modes
  • embody your voice more fully through breath, meditative body movement and mudras
  • practice to share your voice in a supportive environment

As the fear of expressing yourself lets go and you gradually learn to listen without judgement you will gain more confidence and joy in your authentic voice and explore its immense creative potential. By immersing yourself in a field of sound you strengthen and balance your whole body, your emotions, mind and energy at the same time.

As a facilitator, I will hold you in a safe space of deep listening and presence and from that space guide you on a journey of vocal exploration, opening you up to your own inner knowing and wisdom.

Testimonials

“…I never realized how much I enjoyed sounding…”

I enjoyed Helga’s group. I found it liberating to be able to tone and sound and was able to express myself in ways that the spoken word restricts. I have used the methods that Helga has taught us to cleanse my chakras, ground myself, heal myself and raise my vibration. It has also helped me deal with stress. I never realized how much I enjoyed sounding. I believe that we do not sing enough or make ourselves heard and the vocal practices have given me the opportunity for expression and creativity.

Often time at night I will tone through the chakras as it relaxes me, makes me feel closer to spirit and prepares me for sleep. Everyone in the group was lovely and I felt that I could be myself. Helga provided the space for people to be authentic.

I am grateful that Helga invited me to participate. She is deeply passionate about sharing her knowledge and her enthusiasm shines through like a bright ray of sunshine. She radiates love and joy.

In short Helga did an amazing job. She is a wonderful teacher, has a great sense of humor and is a skilled healer. Thank you, Helga!!!! Many Blessings on you as you continue with this work.

“…forever changed and strengthened because of these teachings…”

Helga’s teachings have been instrumental in opening all forms of expression in my life. I speak my truth with less hesitation. My feelings come to the surface with more ease. I play with my voice in sound for the first time in my life since I was a child. I use it as a tool to move energy on the dense days, and find it to be more effective than any practice I have found before. I am beyond grateful to Helga for very sweetly and gracefully infusing my life with these teachings and truths. I am forever changed and strengthened because of them.

“…I could literally feel the silence in my body...”

I very much enjoyed the workshop and Helga’s teaching style. She explained and demonstrated each exercise in a very clear and understandable way, giving great detail and description of each process. Her passion for the work shines through! The processes helped me to realize that my main voice is silence, and it takes much effort sometimes for me to sound. And I also can feel the practices will help me to discern when I feel my authentic sound coming through as opposed to when I am making it happen, so discerning when to be silent and when to speak/sound/sing. I really appreciated learning about the various elements, silence being my main one…I could literally feel the silence in my body. Movement was/is a key element for me as well as I felt the movement with the sound and the silence. It was a very wonderful experience and I look forward to exploring more!

“…I found myself feeling increasingly spontaneous in sharing…”

Then came Helga’s course wherein I found myself feeling increasingly spontaneous in sharing whatever I needed to share with her and the group. I couldn’t put my finger on why this was happening but I felt a surge in confidence and creative energy to express myself in a number of ways in response to various sound exercises and stimuli suggested by Helga. It felt like a boost of my creative juices and spontaneity. In effect, it felt like reconnecting with and trusting my intuition all over again after decades of mistrust of my own intuition. What appeared first in this course was the joy of uttering words and making various sounds without shame. It was a wonderful release from past conditioning and I sure hope it lasts. There is more work to be done to recover my spontaneity but now at least I trust that I can duplicate that experience in whatever circumstances arise in a social context. I also felt that my personal meditations at home improved in terms of clarity of intent and relevance to the topic of my meditations.

“…completely changed my relationship to sound, and particularly my own voice…”

Helga’s course completely changed my relationship to sound, and particularly my own voice. Ever since working with Helga I’ve been able to identify and use sound to release stuck energy and emotions. I have become much more aware of the power of sound and use my voice with much more intention. My voice has even changed in day to day conversation, my voice naturally resides at a deeper pitch, and I am more centered and grounded when speaking. I absolutely loved having Helga as a teacher, her patience mixed with deep knowledge and boundless enthusiasm encouraged me to deeply integrate the various practices, causing immediate changes to my personal health, and overall quality of life. I appreciate the versatility of the sound practices that can take anywhere from 15 minutes to multiple hours. I highly recommend it, and Helga as a teacher. Her ability to adapt to where I was at in my life in our sessions allowed me to stay consistent in my practice as she provided me with insightful and helpful suggestions about how to integrate the sound practices into my daily life. This has deeply changed my life in ways I’m sure I will continue to discover for years to come. The focus on personal empowerment versus “teaching” is something I greatly appreciate and believe more systems of learning could benefit greatly from implementing.
