General Health

Linda Dessau–a music therapist–explains that most people who visited her, think that they have no great voice to sing. They often say, “I wish I could sing!”

Well, singing is a natural and pure expression of how glad we feel to be alive, and the way we show our love of music. She suggests everybody to sing out their stress, because of these following five reasons :

1. Sing helps us to connect with our body. How come? Because singing is so connected to closely with breath, singing helps us “be in our bodies” and let go of the thinking (or worrying) we do much of the day. Singing can be a joyful activity and can release endorphins (those feel-good chemicals that the body creates).

2. Sing will connect us with ourselves. How? Meditative toning, singing along to a favorite song or simply humming to yourself are all ways to tap into your inner landscape and see what’s going on in there.

3. To connect with others: Singing with other people - in meditation, prayer, at a sing-along, at a concert, or even over the telephone or Internet - helps us experience in a very deep way that we are all truly connected.

4. To express your feelings: Many times a singer, songwriter or composer has expressed our feelings in a way we could never have - if there’s a song that expresses what you want or need to say, try singing along (keep in mind that this is just for you and it’s not about “sounding good”).

5. To boost your good feelings: Whatever you focus on, you’ll invite more of into your life. You can choose uplifting, joyful and celebratory songs to sing.

So, just sing out, and be proud of your own unique voice! :)
