Jill describes her experience. [4:34] - Monique prides herself on the energy she carries and considers herself a human tuning fork. [5:36] - Monique supports people through sound and vocals. She works not only with singers, but with speakers as well. [6:26] - Work happens in the psychosomatic spaces as well as the artist/music/healing spaces. [7:35] - When she was 18 years old, Monique moved to Los Angeles and started networking in the music industry. [8:13] - Monique shares her experience auditioning for The Voice which she says catapulted her into her career. [9:03] - Despite the excitement, Monique shares how she was misled and through her creative energy, she was eventually let to yoga and sound therapy. [10:43] - Monique describes how faith became an absolute knowing. [12:14] - Spirituality and individuality is becoming more popularized and Monique describes why toxic masculinity is collapsing in the art and music industry. [13:23] - Monique’s experiences have led her to being able to serve her community in a more meaningful way, including also helping other healers. [16:11] - Part of the spiritual path is uncomfortable and might freak some people out. [17:44] - Monique shares her original understandings of the world and societal conditioning as a child. She began questioning. [19:19] - All you have to do is ask the right question and everything will begin to unfold. [19:31] - For those who are curious but are afraid because of the system you are a part of, you are part of a system that needs to be questioned. [20:27] - The only good fear is the fear of not questioning something and regretting it as a what if. [21:20] - At the end of the day you can’t stop the truth. If it is your truth, it will come out one way or another. [22:18] - Jill shares that exploring is not questioning your faith. She is confident that God is the one telling her to look. It is not temptation. [23:17] - Religion in its innocence is like a language. We have many languages and if we expect only one language to cut through all, we are fooling ourselves.  [24:33] - We have extremists on all sides and Monique gives several examples. If we allow the extremists to define religion, we will continue to be separate. [27:01] - Jill shares her experience with a friend of hers who was able to admit that she wants to explore, too. It is okay to learn other things. [31:36] - The hearing component and singing component are all together in the core. For those who can’t sing, Monique explains how trauma silences a person’s voice. [32:30] - Monique describes chakras and chakra chains and how our voice is connected. [35:02] - If you have things that are suppressed, your center of energy is blocked. This is where weak voices, off pitch, and cracked voices come from. Oversinging is also a trauma response as overcompensating. [37:38] - There is something correlated between how and what we hear to trauma response. Those who are tone deaf are living in survival mode. Monique describes how this looks. [39:49] - This is also apparent when we tend to tune someone or something out. What happened to trigger you into tuning it out? [40:56] - Survival mode turns our ears off. That comes from a place of fear. [41:27] - This also happens when reading a book. You may find yourself reading a book and have to backtrack because you weren’t paying attention. [43:02] - Monique and Jill discuss vocal activation. In creating an environment of safety, even professional artists can access new parts of their voice. [46:52] - Monique reacts to Jill’s experience of questioning things that shouldn’t be questioned and speaking up for other women that led to her termination. [48:36] - If there is something on your heart, God put it there. Monique gives an inspiring message to all listeners. I know there was something in this episode that you were meant to hear. Let me know what that is. Thank you for being here today with me on our healing journeys.
