Your Power Song

[Guest guest]

Power Songs are oral prayers expressing your true self, your nature,

your individuality, your power. All cultures have power songs but you

can have your own power song too. We think of the power in a hymn or

an African chant, a Shamanic ceremony song or even in the howling of

wolf. And there is definite power in sound.

 

All Shamans have several power songs because the vibration of the

notes in the voice and in the fourth chakra of the throat stimulate

sympathetic vibrations in the universe to respond. Everything is

connected. What you put out comes back to you. When a butterfly

flutters his wings in Cost Rica the winds of Africa are stirred. And

when a sound is offered, the universe responds.

 

Power songs are used in preparation for journeying, healing, offering

Reiki, praying, grounding, for protection, for celebration, for

solace, anytime you want to connect with the universe in this very

special way.

 

To demonstrate the power of voice and musical notes I would like to

you try this exercise.

 

The fourth chakra is the note FA as in Do Re Me FA. Find a piano and

discover the sound of this note if possible. Or find your own closest

approximation to it. It is important to find the sound of FA.

 

The fourth note or sound of FA is also the note of manifestation or

creation upon this planet. So if we want to manifest healing, for

example, we can send our intention out upon the note FA into the

universe and healing will resonate with our voice of FA and become

manifest where we are intending. It really is that simple.

Don't try to complicate it like so many others have. This little

simple secret is one that some people have paid thousands of dollars

for. Some people have made millions creating musical tapes based on

the sound of Fa, subliminal, holosync tapes that offer healing are

based on the sound FA. But now you know how to do it yourself.

 

The visual symbol for the universe made manifest is the square. This

symbolizes the power of thought and vibration becoming solid and

material in this apparent world. So let's combine the sound of Fa with

the visualization of a square.

 

Get yourself someplace comfortable where you will not be disturbed for

a while. Close your eyes and visualize a square. Intone the sound FA

and watch the square and see what image appears there.

 

You can also do this backwards by visualizing the person you want to

heal in the square and intoning the sound of FA. Or anything that you

would like to manifest for the good of yourself and the world.

 

Shamans use this technique all the time. The last ingredient the

Shaman uses here is desire or strong will. He or she really wants this

healing to happen, they can really feel the wish, they put all their

emotional energy into the intent.

 

I often get to dancing and rattling while I intone my power song and

bring my whole body into the act of intending a healing for someone.

The more feeling you put into it, the stronger the vibration.

 

Have you ever listened to a Native American song? There is usually one

major tone for the song, isn't there! Now you know why!

 

As a final thought, each note in the scale represents a unique

vibratory pattern in the universe. You could do a study to find those

out if you would like to know more about sound.

 

So you see the need for your own power song. Create one this week. it

is usually just a line or two repeated over and over. You can use

words or vowels or an imaginary language. As long as you create it

with FA as your base and emotion and intent, it will be perfect. Power

songs are usually kept private and seldom sung in public. The only

time they are sung in public is when a group of Shamans have gathered

to do a combined healing. It is your prayer to the universe.
