Overtone Singing

• Explore the harmonic layers of the voice.

• Try saying the word “HURRY” very slowly to hear natural overtones.

• Pair overtone vocalization with instruments like the drum, gong, or singing bowls to enhance the layered resonance.

• This practice helps unlock intuitive vocal expression and energetic awareness.

Intuitive Singing & Vocal Magic

• Begin connecting with your intuitive vocal power—beyond melody, structure, or perfection.

• Use breath, feeling, and presence to allow vocal sounds to rise organically.

• Sing to the space, to the body, to the moment.

• Consider it sound channeling—responding to vibration, not controlling it.

The Primordial “A” Sound

• The guttural “Ah” is believed to be the first sound we make entering the world and the last one we release when leaving it.

• It appears in sighs, cries, coos, and wails—all primal expressions.

• In many traditions, “A” is the mother sound, the seed of all vocalization and manifestation.

• Use the “Ah” sound to center, release, ground, or awaken your own voice.
  

Types of Sacred Songs:

Mantras

• Mantras are repetitive vibrational phrases used to focus the mind, open the heart, and connect to specific energies or deities.

• They may be chanted silently or aloud to calm the nervous system and direct intention.

• Much like reciting a prayer or using a mala, mantras are used to amplify, honor, and invoke.

• Common examples:

• Adhi Shakti 

• Ma

• Ra Ma Da Sa

Medicine Songs

• These are sacred songs of healing and spirit, often received or written in ceremonial or devotional settings.

• They may come from any language or lineage and are typically sung with heart-centered intention.

• Medicine songs often honor nature, ancestors, elements, guides, or personal transformation.

• Examples:

• Veo una estrella

• Sirenita Bobinsana 

• Guacamayo 

• Into My Heart

• Aguila Aguile

Circle Songs

• Circle songs are repetitive, easy-to-learn songs that build unity, rhythm, and connection in community spaces.
  These songs are excellent for call-and-response, improvisation, and inclusive singing.

• Use them to open or close gatherings, create group resonance, or foster emotional expression.

• Examples:

• Earth You Hold Us

• Created By Sound

• Earth, Air, Fire, Water

Icaros

• An Icaro is a traditional medicine song from the Quechua lineage, often sung during Ayahuasca ceremonies.

• Icaros are channeled by Shamans or Curanderas and are seen as vibrational guides, helping participants navigate altered states.

• The tone, rhythm, and cadence of an Icaro can activate, deepen, calm, or close a journey.

• They are often called “the language of Ayahuasca,” said to communicate directly with the spirit of the plant.

• Examples:

• I Call Now, Grandma

• So Am

• Icaro Mariri

• Mao Tatanka
