Since the inauguration I’ve been sitting on this question:

How may I use my voice in service to the world?

I don’t have a definitive answer, not yet anyway. I only have this inner nudge that keeps moving me towards greater wholeness and healing and freedom of creative expression.

But I think it’s a really important question, especially when we feel that tired, we’ve-been-through-so-much complacency to hand over the dirty laundry to lawmakers and those who have more “power.”

Because I think it’s an illusion.

What do you offer? Are you willing to share it? What do you need to heal in order to do so?

How will you use your voice, Beloved?

On the path with you,
Allison

A simple, beautiful truth that we always seem to forget, or ignore, or hide!

Listen in carefully...
Feel into this heartspace...

Ask yourself: how am I meant to use my voice right now?

Hugs,
Allison

Our voice journey is brimming with small moments. Perhaps you have discovered some of those moments yourself?

I hope you sense the power therein.

Trust them. They are your stepping stones, your signposts, your way-showers.

Hugs,
Allison

I just want to say:

The process of coming into harmony with your voice is ever-evolving. It is subtle and sometimes shifty, but constant.

At least, as long as you have the will and intention to harmonize with it.

Please, please, please trust that as long as you intend to do so, the process is unfolding.

And know this: your Outer voice is a reflection of your Inner voice.

So when you establish greater harmony within, it will beam without, like a gorgeous rainbow. 🌈

I wish I could shout it from the rooftops: your voice is *so* much more than sound.

Hugs,
Allison

I just uncovered this affirmation I write many moons ago. I used it as part of a workshop devoted to healing our sacred voice.

I read these words now and believe all that they hold.

How does it feel to say them out loud?

Is it hard?
Is it beautiful?
Is it both?

Gotta love your voice: it’s the only one you have! Your soul chose it. Treat it kindly, Dear One.

Hugs,
Allison

I always say, advice for singing is advice for living!

I love feeling better about my voice, and I know you want that, too.

Let your Whole Self dance with your voice.

Seek wellness for yourself, and your voice will come along to the party!

Hugs,
Allison

I had a crazy burst of insight and inspiration, and wrote a piece about it: the Journey of Sacred Voice Expression. (Link in bio.)

It outlines the guideposts we meet on our voice journey. More specifically, it is related to our "sacred voice" journey, acknowledging that our voice is inherently connected with a divine source.

When I saw it all written down, it helped me see where I wanted to go, and how far I've come.

And that the KEY component to our growth is releasing our self-limitations. Not singing technique, perfect breathing, or simply managing fears.

It’s releasing that which no longer serves our goals, however that manifests for you. We practice this in our relationships, our finances, our businesses, and more. Why don’t we practice in our singing?

May you have joyful footsteps on your Sacred Voice journey. May you be courageous on your way towards your fulfilled purpose and desire.

Hugs,
Allison

“Trust is cultivated when we set up conditions within ourselves to succeed.”

Dear One: trust your voice.

Not so easy, right?

I know. But in order to cultivate an abiding trust in your voice, you need to change the way you interact with your voice.

What’s your headspace?
What’s your inner dialogue?
Most likely, it’s unconscious.
But worth tracking.

Are you setting yourself up to succeed, or teeter endlessly?

Trust is cultivated when we succeed. The more we succeed, the more we trust.

But we need to make the soil fertile for our transformation, so that success-and trust-are inherent and solid. Not flimsy and full of doubt.

Treat your voice as a beloved friend, a partner, a treasure.

Acknowledge the sacred quality of your voice, and invite her *back* to join you in the dance of singing.

Begin to rebuild the trust in your voice.

Hugs,
Allison

This is a little outtake from a recent recording session I did, when I was starting to get a wee bit tense. Or rather, uptight.

We recently held our Virtual Confidence workshop, and I was so very glad to be able to just say to our attendees: this is hard!

It takes a great deal of physical resources, emotional energy, and self-awareness to manage recording yourself. And having some positive outcome.

I remember a time not too long ago when listening to or watching myself sing was enough to shut me down for days, or weeks. Talk about a downward spiral!

It gets easier. But I don’t think that it’s merely repetition, or good planning, or whatever.

I think you *have* to believe in yourself, at the most fundamental level. Then no matter what happens, you walk away with an abiding love and respect for yourself, and your voice.

This, I think, is the most important thing about showing up.

Hugs,
Allison

I think something that really befuddles singers is how much, exactly, we are supposed to do when we sing.

How much do I need to effort?

Lift this.
Squeeze this.
Push this.
Hold this.
Do this.

I want to dismantle the Effort Myth.

I think our bodies are so completely brilliant at singing. And I know that when we interrupt the flow of our own singing with effort—artificial effort—things can get a little hairy.

As I say in the Studio:
Do Less Harder.

What happens when you step back from effort, and step forward into flow?

There’s a Sacred Voice in there, waiting for you...

Hugs,
Allison

Fresh blog post:
Transform Strife into Wonder

On the path of growth, we learn how to master mistakes. Which means how to learn from them.

It goes for anything in life. But why does it sometime seems that we are allergic to mistakes in singing?

It doesn’t have to be that way. Read on to discover my method. Link in bio. 😘

Allison
