Awareness Through Voice
Becoming aware of our true nature is our highest goal.
Since ancient times sound and voice have been used for this purpose.
At present this knowledge is introduced anew.
The voice is usually regarded as a tool for self expression.
A good question would be ,what do we mean by 'self'? There are varied dimensions
to the idea of self. From the personal self, to the universal self.
Study of the personal self will lead us to the knowledge of our personality. Study of the universal self may lead us to knowledge of the universe.
The voice is primarily made up of two elements, breath and sound.
Breath is universal, it is the very life. Sound is unique, and so, particular.
The voice is a way for life to express itself in a unique way.
It is one thing to hear our voice as a personal expression, it is quite another to hear our voice as the voice of the self.
When we become aware of this then any sound we utter will express the potency and power of it's own source. By that I mean that if we allow this awareness to unfold then life will use our voice to flow freely through us.
That is it's nature, that is our nature.
A free flow, a free being.
The Voice Being program has been developed during the past 25 years.
Shai's profound study of philosophy, meditation, music, voice and sound is the fundamental basis and background that permeates this work.
It is through his own direct experience, understanding and ongoing study that he offers to you the great love and knowledge of the power of sound and voice.
