Beloved Source, by your grace I am alive…

SA is the sound of our very existence… fundamental consciousness… the ground of our being. Silence is its source. In this first module, you’ll discover “sound awareness” and deep listening skills to quieten your mind.

Silence is a dynamic language from where your unique sound arises and disappears. Chloë will guide you to make a daily habit of “self-emptying” yourself of all thoughts. You’ll relax your reactive mind and access an inner stillness, building confidence in discovering who you truly are.

In this module, you’ll:

• Prepare the listening ground to hear the hidden sounds inside you
• Focus on your own unique sound as your vibrational ground, and learn a meditative song to anchor your sound in SA, the source of love
• Awaken the essential relationship between sound and silence
• Discover a healing self-inquiry practice of non-judgemental listening to your sound

I am conditioned and unconditioned, I am neither infinite nor held within limits. I am both at the same time…

There is a unique voice inside you, waiting to be heard: the voice of your true identity and being. RE is where your ego and your personality voice is born. The tonal energy of RE is all about relationship and where revelation begins.

RE empowers you to make the huge evolutionary shift from your “root home” in SA, to a new life with a personal identity governed by duality and the warring polarities of your egoic mind.

The shadow side of RE is that it carries old narratives that call for healing from your hidden primal sound. With the guidance of deep non-judgemental listening, courage, and commitment to the restoration of emotional health and wellbeing, you’ll learn to uncover the hidden healing sounds inside you whose resonance absorbs and melts the trauma of shame and separateness.

The longing for self-acceptance awakens and reveals the healing sounds of self-worth through forgiveness. The mudra of “spreading light” enables you to explore and express the journey from conception and the inner darkness of life in the womb, into the bright light of day as a human being.

In this module, you’ll:

• Explore your instinctual voice of love, arising from and returning to the source of love
• Experience your sound as it shifts between SA and RE — between oneness and duality
• Discover how sounding RE enables you to resolve old traumatic narratives and restore emotional wellbeing
• Dive into an empowering “sound awareness” questionnaire to embrace your relationship with your own voice
• Express your “personality voice,” as it oscillates between separateness and union
• Dispel the myth that you can’t sing — and be given a practice to bring your unique and authentic voice out of hiding

You the muscle in my laughter,
you the warmth against my thigh.
You the jewel in my belly, bursting beauty,
fill my sky…

Your belly is a storehouse for all your biological, tribal, and deepest physical narratives and belief systems. GA is the sound of fire in your core, or solar plexus. Sounding GA energizes and replenishes the “jewel in the belly” called the hara. Your solar plexus is the center of your nervous system. GA — as both a sound and a movement — inspires positive intention.

Left to the unconscious devices of your egoic mind, this fiery energy in the belly can create an unconscious warfield of divisive, opposing emotions that can drive or sustain the illusion of a supreme personal will. Sounding GA generates inner stability, nourishing your core energy and filling your lower abdomen with the fire of positive intention.

GA is a motivating force that can transform your desire to dominate others. It generates goodwill and loyalty, and, with positive intention, revitalizes your first three musical chakras and activates a healthy ego capable of nurturing the highest intentions for the best interests of all in your home, family, or tribe.

In this module, you’ll:

• Discover how sounding GA, with energy movement, nourishes your own physical health and enlivens your core
• Be given a laughter practice to strengthen your hara with sound
• Enjoy an ancient mantric recitation that builds positive energy, replenishing your core energy
• Unearth and release old narratives to access new nurturing sound and songs hidden within your belly
• Create new positive intentions towards your family or tribe

I would sell my tongue and buy a thousand ears, when that one steps near to the center of my chest and begins to speak…

Empathy restores the open heart, self-worth, sound values, devotional prayer, and spontaneous love songs. The song of MA is the loyal friend of empathy. MA is the sound of the intuitive heart, rooted in Mother Earth, and the feminine, maternal, magical, intuitive song of your soul.

MA shifts our attention from a “my will” reality to a “thy will” reality; from a “me-centered” to a “we-centered” communication. The capacity to unify your instinctual sound, SA-RE-GA, with your intuitive heartsong in MA, is immense and life-changing. Sounding MA is an essential practice and challenge for us all — from the personal to the global.

And it’s the vocal sounding of MA that will initiate you into a direct experience of intuitive love. Communicating empathically from your heart helps balance the left rational brain, with the right intuitive mind.

Sounding MA will transform your surface reactive emotions into deeper states of positive human feeling. You’ll learn subtle ways to open to the unique song of your heart, however it shows up… as a spoken, poetic, or sung voice.

In this module, you’ll:

• Discover new ways to transform emotion with devotional chant
• Stop being a doormat through the tonal energy of empathy
• Access the music of your heart through love song and poetry
• Surrender your heart to a new depth of listening and being heard
• Create your own heart song inspired by the journey from the root SA, pelvis RE, solar plexus GA, and your heart in MA

Out beyond ideas of right and wrong doing, there is a field
A singing field, I’ll meet you there…

PA is your sound portal into inclusive love. Your core energy is grounded, strong, and vital; your intuitive heart is opening to an innate knowing of a greater intelligence, and you are feeling grounded, open-hearted, self-confident, and creative. You’re beginning to communicate with a self-confidence that is empathic and all-inclusive.

You can share your truth with an authority that is transparent and inspiring. A healthy PA is a self-actualized, self-aware communicator — a grounded and stable personality inspired directly from source.

The energy movement of PA is called “Brightening the World,” and the arms are open in the shape of a cross. Standing in true presence, you’ll align and embody a vertical connection with spirit.

In this module, you’ll:

• Be given a vocal practice pattern that integrates the tonal energies of PA with MA, GA, RE, and SA
• Prepare a speech or song that integrates and demonstrates your highest aspirations with your grounded purpose on Earth
• Practice the “Standing in the Presence” meditation
• Begin to build a repertoire of songs, anthems, poems, and prayers that inspire transparent communication

I have a feeling that my boat has struck, down there in the depths against a great thing… are we standing in the new life?…

If PA is the sound of the self-actualized communicator, identified with the transparent delivery of truth in the world, then DHA takes the carpet from under your feet, and lifts you up and out of the secure boundaries of social communication. This tonal energy brings you into greater community and a new perceptual field of awareness beyond the security and familiarity of public presentations in the sociopolitical compound.

In DHA, the focus of your awareness is raised from self-identity with a public persona into a deeper self-inquiry that requires a deeper interior listening and spacious awareness.

The healing sounds of DHA strengthen what can otherwise be a profoundly disorienting, even shocking experience to a self-congratulatory mind, to the one who has been more identified with outer circumstances of social justice and right action as being the only reality.

Sounding DHA awakens new frequencies of love, which cleanses the mind and heart, and instills new awareness of the compassionate sound of love, sourced from non-duality.

In this module, you’ll:

• Be shown how to sharpen the sword of your insightful awareness in DHA with a vocal meditative mantra of compassion
• Explore the energy movement of DHA as a meditation practice
• Let go, accept, and step into a new depth of practice focusing more deeply on the language of silence
• Learn a new, full version of the chant, Sword and the Flower
• Renew your intention for compassionate awareness with your own song, poem, or statement inspired by a direct experience of DHA

Out of eternity I turn my face to you,
And into eternity:
We have been in love that long…
— Rumi, Coleman Barks

NI is the seventh musical interval — the doorway into your heavenly home — located at the crown of your head. NI opens your awareness into universal love.

Without being well-rooted in SA at the root of the body, you can find yourself with your head in the clouds and totally ungrounded in NI. Many people like to hang out in the consciousness of NI, believing themselves to be in a higher state of consciousness. Yet, this can be a trap if you are not already embodied in the full sound spectrum of consciousness, as it resounds through SA, RE, GA, MA, PA, DHA, and NI.

In this module, you’ll:

• Join everyone in consolidating your experience of the healing sounds
• Celebrate the courageous journey you have taken
• Explore the future evolution of your sound and voice experience
• Join an intentional community of vocal ambassadors and committed sound practitioners who’ve been inspired by the Naked Voice teachings
• Explore ways to write up and benefit from your full experience of this journey
