Toch raadt Karina Schelde haar lezers aan om te luisteren naar hun eigen stem. Dan bedoelt ze niet ‘luister naar je innerlijke stem’ - dat weten we nu zo langzamerhand wel - maar naar je fysieke stem, die diep verborgen in je hart ligt en die bevrijd en gehoord wil worden. Het is de stem met een zielenklank waar we al vanaf onze geboorte mee in contact proberen te komen en waarin onze aard en ons verhaal vervat liggen.

In ‘De stem van je ziel’ maakt Schelde duidelijk hoeveel onze stem over ons zegt. De toon waarop we iets zeggen is vaak belangrijker dan wát we zeggen: onze emoties klinken erin door. Ze nodigt uit om onze natuurlijke stem te ontdekken, te trainen en te uiten.

Op de bijgeleverde cd klinken angstaanjagende, grappige, ijle en diepe klanken. Na een eerste lachbui om zoveel dramatiek, voel ik het verlangen in me opwellen om ook zo vrij te zijn van de angst om vals te zingen en me belachelijk te maken. Hoog en schril of niet, Amsterdamse ‘ai’ of niet, vóór ik het weet ben ik uit volle borst aan het zingen als een kind van vijf.

Nu de buren nog onder ogen komen. Daarover rept Schelde niet.

Fab braced herself on my brother, Graham, and squeezed his and my arms with each contraction. To my astonishment, Fab, who had never intentionally sounded before, took to it like a seasoned skier to fresh powder. She jumped right in. I helped Fab find expression for the sound within her that was the optimal sound for diffusing and releasing the pain of each contraction. When she was overwhelmed by the pain I joined her in sound and guided her into the heart of her labour pains via sound trails, and asked her to follow my vocalisations. A number of times Fab spontaneously emitted low, moaning sounds which she found eased the intensity of her contractions. I was amazed by Fab. She sounded from start to finish. In one hour, with no drugs, and in just three pushes, she delivered her daughter, Sabine. Her first birth had taken ten hours, and she had received a number of drugs to help her labour. I am convinced that her consistent sounding shortened her time in this labour and allowed her to proceed drug-free.”Valerie Moysey - Certified Soul Voice Practitioner, Hawaii, USA “My client Johannes is an artist and works temporarily as a teacher. When he was standing in front of a class he always had an enormous fear of failure and of not knowing enough. His face often broke out in a rash. In a telepathic sound healing I ‘beamed’ him into my workspace and performed intensive sound therapy on him. I received the image of a metal beam that pressed on his belly, so I worked on removing the beam and suddenly felt a heavy load disappearing. The operation was done. Johannes told me on the phone the next day that in certain moments he experienced fear and panic and a sensation of a metal beam pressing on his belly, blocking his breath and triggering a fear of ulcers. Over the next two days Johannes felt dizzy and had to throw up several times. From then on, his fear was simply gone. He felt remarkably relaxed and regained his trust and joy in teaching.”~ Miriam Helle - Certified Soul Voice Practitioner, Switzerland Read more case studies
