Discover your voice. Voice laboratory

"..I believe that every person is creative. Improvisation is... innate. You just need to pay attention to yourself and believe in yourself. The visible vibration is light, and the audible one is sound. You see and hear sound and color. Because it is the same"/Olga Szwajgier/

We invite you to a vocal workshop with Olga Szwajgier - one of the greatest sopranos in the world, but an equally charming woman, full of joy of life and sense of humor, endowed with an extraordinary ability to work with people. Classes with her are pure pleasure. At the beginning, Olga helps each participant find their own, personal sound, as well as the place where it is born in us. It teaches you how to produce your voice effortlessly. And all this happens with her kind and warm support. During the first workshop, you do not yet work with specific musical material such as a song or a song. Beginners work only with sound, because the most important thing is that they learn the correct voice production at the beginning of their "vocal path".

Olga's workshops are intended not only for amateurs, but also for singers, actors, teachers and people for whom a clear and resonant voice is essential at work. Olga's teaching experience shows that there are no people without hearing, voice or sense of rhythm, only the inability to use these means of expression. Olga teaches how to sing with the whole body, believing that what is available to her is also available to other people. Therefore, I encourage everyone who would like to open up to this new and unusual form of self-expression to participate in the workshop.

The workshop with Olga Szwajgier is, above all, about searching and discovering yourself and your sound. The classes inspire you to explore and search for your hidden vocal abilities, help you rebuild your self-confidence, teach you tolerance and self-acceptance, and teach you to use your mistakes as "grandmasters" in your development.

Olga does not impose the only and correct path, on the contrary - she shows that imitating others means wasting oneself. Encourages you to use the power of your intuition, imagination, visualization and autosuggestion. It is based on the harmony of body, mind and spirit. It teaches you how to heal your voice and your soul.

"When an appropriate, prolonged, melodious sound passes through the human body - under the influence of vibrations reaching every single cell, all blockages in us dissolve and our energy centers are stimulated. Singing, joyful singing, for the glory of God, or whatever we call it, reaches the deepest regions of the body and soul. It makes us better, more open to the world, and makes us see its most beautiful sides." / Olga Szwajgier/ .

Olga's teaching experience shows that there are no people without hearing, voice or sense of rhythm, only the inability to use these means of expression. Olga teaches how to sing with the whole body, believing that what is available to her is also available to other people.  She is able to talk with unprecedented honesty and courage about journeys deep into herself, about searching for the roots of her own existence. He believes that all events in our lives are caused by our thoughts and words - "Your thoughts and words - he often repeats - create your reality." We encourage everyone who would like to open up to this new and unusual form of self-expression to participate in the workshop.

Sound is movement, breath and vibration. It accompanies us from the moment we are born, and even earlier. It is in us and around us. Each sound is assigned a specific color and energy centers in our body.

Working with Olga Szwajgier, we realize that our entire body, including the larynx and vocal cords, is a perfect musical instrument.

Singing teaches:

"Each workshop is different, but there is always work with breathing, imagination, feelings and the body, with the instrument that is a human being. I conduct many relaxation exercises to "quiet" the lockjaw that distorts diction and sound. Free, deep breathing renews our contact with the Whole, restores peace to existence, improves our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual attitude." /Olga Szwajgier/

In the course program:"Singing calls us to be in unity here and now, that is, in unity: thought - word - feeling - action! Singing regenerates concentration and unleashes creativity. - We reach for our "superpossibilities" - Olga continues - as for a princess sleeping in the tower. With love for effort, patience, love for hope and joy, we awaken in ourselves what has always been us! We are sound, made of sounds, that's what mystics have always said and, more recently, quantum physicists" (Olga Szwajgier)

ARTICLE ABOUT OLGA SZWAJGIER, SENS

"MAN, INSTRUMENT OF SOUND", AUTHOR: MAGDA RYBAK

By producing a sound, you come into harmony with reality. The voice is not limited by melody, it is not transformed by words. You are in Olga Szwajgier's voice laboratory

Each workshop is different - says Olga Szwajgier - but there is always work with breath, imagination, feelings and body, with the instrument that is man. I conduct many relaxation exercises to "calm down" the lockjaw that distorts diction and sound. Free, deep breathing renews our contact with the Whole, restores peace to existence, improves our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual attitude.

Singing calls us to be in unity here and now, that is, in unity: thought - word - feeling - action! Singing regenerates concentration and unleashes creativity. – We reach for our “superpossibilities” – Olga continues – as for a princess sleeping in the tower. With love for effort, patience, love for hope and joy, we awaken in ourselves what has always been us! We are sound, made of sounds, this is what mystics have always said and, more recently, quantum physicists.

Joel Sternheimer proved that our energy field is filled with suspended sounds waiting to enter the body. Each element of the atom has its own frequency, and the appropriate sounds that we sing and listen to heal us at the atomic level and change the information contained in the DNA code. Musician, composer and biotherapist Fabien Maman develops this knowledge in practice. He proves that cancer cells disintegrate under the influence of sounds. – We are nourished by what we hear, by what we see, by what we think, by what we feel. So it is worth "eating" beautiful views, good thoughts, wonderful sounds. We are here on earth to bring joy: to ourselves, to others, to the entire planet! We have no other task, Olga sums up.

– Recently I had to give a speech on behalf of my boss – says Karina. – I kept telling myself: "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine," but in front of the microphone my throat was so tight that it was difficult for me to speak. The therapist recommended singing workshops to me.

The first day started with practicing stupid faces. – I couldn't allow myself to be so relaxed – admits Karina. – I hope that one day I will find him, but I can't expect too much from myself. Because even as a child I didn't make such faces. It was difficult for me, I didn't know what I would see in the mirror.

Karina was always supposed to be pretty and smiling. What about that grimace? And it turned out that nothing was happening. – During relaxation, the light I received was extremely pleasant. I realized how much I demand from myself every day. I have such a desire for perfection, I always wonder what I look like and what others think about me. It turns out that I may not be perfect, and that's okay.

At music school, she felt oppressed and criticized. – And here, at the beginning, I was afraid that I would be judged – she says. – I only relaxed when we had to fake it. I remembered that error is the best teacher. We have to make mistakes to grow. But in fun, in relaxation, with laughter. I hope that one day I will be able to stand in front of the microphone at karaoke, sing and have fun doing it.

During the exercises, you can look at the thoughts and attitudes that appear. Karina: – I saw my limitations and fears, but in a good way, with love. I thought, "The voice isn't like that and I can't do it," but I laughed at it. I realized that I had to throw out everything I was holding inside. I realized that I was hurting myself. I felt sorry for being so cruel and defenseless towards myself. It was touching. I stopped thinking about others, there was only me and my desire to take care of myself. I sang a song of forgiveness and cried.– I was looking for something that would help me free my voice – says Wojtek. – I often feel that my voice is awkward and I make sounds that I wouldn't like. Faking it to begin with was liberating for me.

When you give yourself permission to make mistakes, you begin the process of achieving purity. – I was very happy to hear my voice – he recalls. – And because I felt it more and more. I did simple exercises like lifting my palate and sticking my tongue out, and I felt like they were helping me sing better and encouraging me to keep looking.

It was like peeling an onion - peeling away the layers that culture puts on us. Everything that was happening was supposed to take us out of our everyday routine and bring us deeper into an intimate relationship with the core of our being. – It was casual and uplifting. Ocean of sounds. There were many of them, completely new to me and as tightly interwoven as a carpet. There was a sense of divinity in it, continues Wojtek.

Coming into harmony with reality by producing sound. By bringing out a voice that is not limited by melody or transformed by words. – We didn't have to sing according to notes or any formula – he explains – we just had to produce a sound that combined with others. It is an extremely valuable experience of acceptance and unconditional existence. It's permission to be fragile. To find the child within.

Wojtek: – The resistance I felt quickly disappeared. I gave myself a lot of freedom. In meditations, I conducted a dialogue with sound, with my memories. I didn't try, or at least I tried not to try. I was more or less aware of the voices around me, sometimes they controlled me, sometimes I led them.

A cosmic experience that everyone can use in the way they can. And even if he feels that it did him no good because the blockages did not allow him to accept it, the body still recorded it. This became his experience.

– My friends asked me to do a workshop on opening the voice – says Natasza. – I showed some exercises. I liked it, but I realized I couldn't do anything. I realized my problem: I'm afraid I'm not good enough. I started looking for a workshop that would help me open up.

First exercises: "silly faces". – I felt that they helped me break free from patterns – she recalls. – They disarmed the inner critic with laughter. I said to myself, "What are you doing? How are you acting?" but I kept making stupid faces and laughing at it. Rebellion arose within me as we began to sing, rocking my inner child. I thought, “this is unprofessional.”

In the evening she had a breakdown. – I realized it was my ego. I am a psychotherapist and I couldn't recognize authority. I decided to open up. The second day started with laughter exercises. I thought, "how artificial," but I started laughing and saw that it worked. And that I take life too task-oriented, too seriously.

She stopped focusing on having to do it and started having fun. – Everyone sang differently and I felt it was unusual – she says. – At the moment when everyone was focusing on allowing themselves to sing freely, beautiful music was created. I began to receive and emit sounds until I completely dissolved into the vibration. This feeling of unity and acceptance gave me a deep experience of contact with source. Whatever we call them – God, the Absolute, or Our True Self. I felt that we were drops of a larger whole. I realized that the "because I have to" attitude can be present in everything - in life, in therapy and in my approach to God. And this is what needs to be given up. You just have to be amazed by what is happening.

Natasza: – I had a grudge against my parents for a very long time. While meditating, I saw myself and them so small. I had the impression that I had reached the child that is inside everyone. I felt a connection with our human nature, which is good somewhere at the very bottom. On the level of bodily experience it was extraordinary. I've been looking for a home my whole life. And here I felt that I had it inside me. That my soul, my voice, lives in him, in me. And when I completely let go of thinking and control, I started to feel that it wasn't me singing. It was a delightful voice. Deep, strong, beautiful. One voice intertwined with the voices of others. As if one Great Man sang it. And I just had to let Him sing through me.

The healing effect of sounds:The consonant M - appears in white light, is responsible for the center of the crown and regenerates the pineal gland. The vowel I - visible in purple, associated with the so-called third eye; regenerates the pituitary gland. E - throat, blues, communication center and thyroid gland. A - spiritual heart center, roses and green, related to the thymus gland. O - related to the solar plexus, golden in color;

deep O – orange color, related to the sacrum, reproductive organs. U – related to the bottom of the abdomen, red. Y – deepened U, energy centers located in the feet.

Vowels reinforced with the right sounds, frequencies and good intentions, turned into the power of good words, make us healthy.
