🎙️ Healing aspects of singing —
Singing is much more than just making sounds through the mouth. Singing is a powerful healing tool for wellbeing that affects our physical, mental, and emotional wholeness. Singing can activate numerous healing responses physically and psychologically.
*Mental and Emotional Healing
— Lowers Stress Hormone: Research proves that singing significantly lowers cortisol (the body’s main stress hormone) levels in the bloodstream.
— Mood Enhancement: Singing causes the release of 'Dopamine' (the brain's reward system, the feel-good chemical), 'Serotonin' (mood stabilizer - promotes feelings of happiness and calmness, also regulating sleep, digestion, blood clotting, and wound healing), and 'Oxytocin' (intimacy, pair bonding, positive emotions, the love hormone, or cuddle hormone). This helps combat feelings of anxiety, loneliness, and depression.
— Emotional Outlet: Our voice is profoundly linked to our emotional center. Singing allows a safe, non-verbal release to handle grief, trauma, or pent-up negative emotions that are challenging to express by words.
Singing and Piano lessons are offered in Nanoose Bay, serving Parksville, Nanaimo, Qualicum Beach, and Ladysmith areas in BC.
