Pansori Living Sound

3rd PANSORI LIVING SOUND-training about the use of the human voice for extended awareness and healing starts in October 2012.

About 15 years ago Yvonne discovered the incredible potential for healing with the human voice. For the past 7 years she has worked with individual clients often with astonishing results. In 2008 she decided that it was time to teach others how to work and heal with the human voice. The first Pansori Living Sound training with 16 participants has ended in October 2010 and a second training started and will run until October 2012. In the training Yvonne and Addy share their experience and knowledge and the training opens the immense hidden potential that each person has to heal themselves and others.

Pansori Living Sound

The human voice is a unique and fascinating instrument. No other sound can touch us like the free sound of our own voice. However the resonance of these sounds in our body and the space around us is unknown to many of us. We don't know our voice and many people are afraid to sing.

Pansori Living Sound opens that new soundscape for us and each voice unfolds its rich capacity. Small stimulations and exercises open our ears; we hear the sound, experience the resonance in the body and our awareness expands into new territory. To embark on this inner journey we don't need any singing experience or skills.

When we start listening to our own voice our awareness about how we might limit ourselves grows. Over time more expression can enter into the voice and our personality will become more transparent. The resonance of our voice in our body and the space around us gives us an enormous sense of freedom. We discover how we can use the voice as another dimension of our personality. Old patterns and limitations melt and the road to more freedom becomes light.

Brain

In the training we focus especially on the impact of the singing voice on the brain. Brain research has indicated that we do not actively use more than 90% of our brain. This creative potential of our brain is fascinating. Research into the latest neuro-scientific insights affirms that sounds offer unique possibilities to access our hidden potential. Sounds can influence the neuroplasticity of the brain in cases of brain damage. The high frequencies in the voice are of special significance.

High frequencies in the voice

To have the desired effect on the person and the body the voice has to be used in a specific manner called sound-oriented singing. In Sound-oriented singing appropriate stimulations are used that help to free the voice box and vocal cords. It helps them move without limitation and from there the voice will reveal rich and new qualities of sound unknown to most people. This kind of singing also expands the capacity of the ears in a profound way. When we sing in this way the high frequencies in the sound, also called the brilliance, can develop. These partial tones have a crystalline quality and can reach up to 12.000 Hertz. Many of us have never heard these tones. They are not present in the acoustic landscape that surrounds us. Our ears have to be awakened and learn to listen in another way to hear these sound aspects.

An important characteristic of these high frequencies is their direct effect on deep parts of the brain. These sounds can create new network connections between different parts of the brain and the neuroplasticity of the brain is activated. Our creativity and intuition are accessed and activated. In some cases brain functions can be enhanced or taken over by other parts of the brain e.g. in cases of brain damage. This kind of singing taps into the Zero Point Field and uses the quantum processes of the brain to effect changes. Its sounds can create more coherence in our energy patterns. This explains the extraordinary healing effects that happen and shows also how we can free our human potential by expanding and integrating brain networks. Sound and especially brilliant sound seems to be able to do that. We can work through old behavior patterns and also create new neurological pathways that support and speed up evolution.

Knowledge about anatomy in an experiential way

Another important feature of the training is the experience of the body in sound and movement. In our body all our experiences and life processes take place. The body is our visible shape in the world and a reflection of our history. It is the abode of our soul and spirit. The body is our densest matter and to induce change and healing there we need to know our body in a special way. We need to have an experiential sense of the different body-systems. When we succeed in creating openness in the habitual patterns of the body, we can enter an open space in which our potential can be realized and healing can take place. To find the key to this openness we will profoundly study anatomy in connection to sound. Our whole universe is built on energy, resonance and vibration so there has to be an entrance through the human voice.

Experiential anatomy is a key to this. The theory of the functions of the different body systems is connected to experiencing the body in movement and accessing body parts in guided meditations based on anatomy. Some of these body systems are: the skeleton, the organs, the muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons, the central nervous system, the cranio sacral system, the different senses, the neurological reflexes, the glands, the circulation of the blood, breathing and the voice itself.

In the first year of the training the focus is on the development of the own voice, in the second year the work with other people is the center of our attention.

Contents of the training

During each year there are three extended weekend workshops from Friday-morning until Sunday afternoon. The maximum number of participants is 18. Short introductory lectures, demonstrations, individual singing lessons, exercises with exchange of experience, discussion, feedback and video are used as teaching tools. The training takes place in the Netherlands and the working language will be Dutch. In January 2012 there will be a special introductory workshop.

Themes of the six workshops:

• First weekend: What is Pansori Living Sound?
• Second weekend: Resonance and the anatomy of the voice box and skeleton.
• Third weekend: Vocal presence and the anatomy of the organs.
• Fourth weekend: Singing for other people and the endocrine system.
• Fifth weekend: Neuroplasticity of the brain and the nervous system.
• Sixth weekend: Theory of quantum physics and the healing qualities of the voice.
