Chloë Goodchild – AWAKENING THROUGH SOUND

Whatever stage you are at with The Naked Voice practice you can be sure that ‘Awakening Through Sound’ will support and enhance your daily practice.

It will also deepen your understanding of the music philosophy and principles behind the Naked Voice practices. Divided into 5 sections, it covers a wide-reaching vocal territory, whilst challenging and quickening your own epistimological and ontological self-inquiry. It will also enable all those who are geographically too far away to have a direct experience of the work, to open the door on their own Naked Voice and Sound experience.

The spiritual masters from East and West traditions have known for centuries a truth that most of us typically overlook: we each possess a built-in mechanism for spiritual awakening. What is it? The sound of your own voice.

Your naked voice is the deep song of your heart that contains all your longing, joy, grief, and passion—the “raw truth” of who you are. With ‘Awakening Through Sound’, you will learn how to fearlessly engage with your own naked voice —to listen to yourself and others with “unconditional ears,” to integrate heart, mind, and body, and to release your full creativity. In five stimulating CD sessions and a 40-minute DVD, Chloë Goodchild draws from 30 years of teaching thousands around the world to gently guide you through a full range of vocal and physical exercises. Discover sacred chants and mantras rooted in the mystical traditions of India to unveil a wisdom “deeper than the polarity of all conflict.” Sing the ‘Seven Sounds of Love’, a full-body practice to open your heart to the expression of love in all its forms. Learn six musical modes to express and transform your negative emotional energy into positive human feeling as you unfold into new dimensions of your Self.

“The naked voice is our most untapped human resource,” says Chloë Goodchild, “and the aim of Awakening Through Sound is to restore honour to our most neglected wisdom tool: the ear.” Join this pioneering sound healer for a daring curriculum that will help you breakthrough your vocal limitations, access latent insight and intuition, and bring the gift of your true Self to everyone around you.

Review
“I think that “Awakening Through Sound” is perhaps the finest, most powerful course I’ve ever taken! Chloe is a profoundly deep and spiritual person who communicates on many levels and interweaves her knowledge and experience of Eastern and Western traditions and masters in profound, subtle ways. Not only did her decades of experienced teachings work to allow me to hear and open to my “naked voice” for I think the first time ever – especially through the “7 Sounds of Love” – but I came to understand so much more about, and beyond, voice… how the voice is/as energy, and resonates and evokes a range of emotions, and vice versa, how the voice is healing, how it is unique to each human. Here, her discussions informed by Eastern traditions are stunning; I’m no stranger to these traditions, but much of what she said took my breath away! Emotional outpourings and sobbing occurred while I sang the 7 sounds of love, and for the first 3 days or so I couldn’t even get through the first 1 or 2 sounds due to all this choking up that, paradoxically, felt so good, cathartic, and connecting, that I was absolutely drawn to stay with it for hours. And as I did, my voice opened up, my heart opened up, and… I… can… sing!! I’ll also note that the first 4 “sounds of love” have become a beautiful mantra in my meditation in addition to another, and I sing them quietly everywhere. Thank you Chloe! This program is “worth” far, far more than what it costs; you won’t be disappointed, and can certainly expect that it’ll open your life in new ways!”
