Your Voice, Your Mantra
“The Mantra… is a word of power and light that comes from the over-mind inspiration or from some very high plane of Intuition. Its characteristics are a language that conveys infinitely more than the mere surface sense of words seems to indicate, a rhythm that means even more than the language and is born out of the Infinite and disappears into it…”
Sri Aurobindo (The Future Poetry)
Just as the mantra comes from a spark of divine inspiration; so too does your voice.
What is your unique voice?
By this I mean, your essence, your spark, that which when ignited tells others without wonder who you are, who you’ve become or are yet becoming. Your voice is as unique to you as your fingerprint. Have you claimed your uniqueness?
Finding the voice that is YOU alone will support you endlessly. When shared, this voice carries a quality of authenticity that builds trust amongst your tribe, your fans, your audience.
Your Voice, Your Mantra
Are you using your voice, or that of another?
Do you know what your voice is, or has it been buried for so long you’re not sure?
If you could re-discover your uniqueness, would you be interested?
How could getting clearer with your voice make any difference to what you do?
Would it make a difference if people could feel the real you in your words?
Would it make a difference if people felt a deeper bond of loyalty to you because they trusted your ‘voice’?
I believe the answer to these questions is YES. And I also believe that when we get a yes; it’s a call to action. If you’re feeling a yes; then let’s get started!
Call to Action!
Here are some stimulating questions to help in getting clearer with your voice:
- What is the voice you’re currently sharing?
Is it authentically, uniquely you? If so, what are the things that make that true? If not, whose voice are you using?
Why? What are the qualities of that voice that you resonate (vibe) with?
- How could the voice you’re sharing be more accurate to the real you?
What could you add that would help others get a better sense of your true essence?
- Has your unique voice evolved over time with growing awareness, changing interests, etc.?
Is this an environmental influence of sorts?
Would your fingerprint change with changes in your environment?
Dig Deep~
These are not trick questions. Only questions to have you dig a bit deeper. Our finger prints don’t change. They are with us from birth.
Our essence, that which is at the core of our being doesn’t change either.
It’s our life experiences, specifically our perspectives of those experiences, that change and either bring us nearer or farther to that core essence. The more aligned our thinking is with our true nature, the more in sync we are with our uniqueness. Our essence. Our brilliance.
Are You Listening?
It’s this core that we’re listening for.
This is our voice. This is the voice we want to bring to every thing that we say or do. This is the spark that when ignited shines our brilliance for all the world to see…and for our audience to align with as they feel supported in shining their own brilliance.
Isn’t this what we all desire, deep down? It doesn’t matter what our job, vocation, or talent is. This applies to them all. It isn’t prejudiced; doesn’t segregate. Deep down we all want to be who we are, be recognized and have others be able to do the same. Consciously.
How can you impart “infinitely more than the mere surface sense of words seems to indicate” as the mantra does?
Simply by infusing your essence, your eternal spark of inspiration into every word you choose. It’s about layers, depth and truth of character.
