Our voice is a “many splendored tool,” which we do not use properly. In fact, we don’t even know it can be tailored for different purposes. Hazrat Inayat Khan, Sufi Master, suggested that you can tell a successful man by the quality of his voice alone. He must practice his voice, to attain these voice qualities. One of the quickest ways to be successful in any endeavor is to practice tailoring your voice to the purpose at hand!
We project our voice into different parts of our body, simply by directing our attention to where we want the sound to resonate. For example, we can speak from our gut. Try it! Let’s imagine our voice located in our gut. That’s all we have to do! Notice that the tones are lower than when we imagine the sound coming from our head. Different emotions and energy are generated when we direct our sounds to a specific part of our body. The energy and information of our chakras gets into our voice when we direct it to these areas.
> The Root chakra. Projecting sound to our tailbone produces a rooting and grounding feeling (and think of the color red). A voice that resounds in this area reflects a person who is working on survival and physical needs. When we stand up for ourselves, our voice echoes in this area of our body. This voice appears strong.
It is difficult to abuse a person with sound resonating here. He sounds too strong to mess with! In contrast, when a person is frightened, the tones resonate further up his body. Deepak Chopra has a voice with energy from his root chakra.
> The Sacral Chakra. Sound resonating in our gut (About 3-6 inches below the belly button – think orange) carries our passions and emotions. Sexual, emotional and balance issues are carried from this area of our body. With this energy the voice often has a rhythmic and compelling feeling.
> The Navel area. Sounds filling the area of our solar plexus (About 3 inches above the belly button – think yellow) resound with confidence and an empowered sense of self worth. Personal-power and self-will radiate from this area. People are more apt to trust a person with confidence and perceive them to be a “Successful bet” when they hear energy from this chakra.
