Summary

Who are the voices inside your head? What are they saying? What are you listening for? What would the voice who has always loved you, say to you now?

Our internal voices are varied and powerful. And, so much of the time, they are extremely critical! In this episode, Holland Andrews and I talk about the ways they’ve worked to cultivate a loving inner voice and their self-healing practices. We discuss healing from traumatic childhoods, working with our shadow selves and inner critics and get into the intersections of Holland’s practices as a performer, channel and healing conduit.

PART 1: This episode opens with Holland’s facilitation of a listening practice for cultivating a loving inner voice.
PART 2: Our conversation! We talk Scorpio shit, shadow selves, inner voices, traumatic childhoods, and our embodied healing practices.
PART 3: Holland facilitates a toning/vibration practice for deep inner touch.

Holland Andrews is an American vocalist, composer, and performance artist whose work is based on emotionality in its many forms. In their composition work, Andrews focuses on the abstraction of operatic and extended-technique voice to build soundscapes encompassing both catharsis and dissonance. Frequently highlighting themes surrounding vulnerability and healing, Andrews arranges music with voice and clarinet, harnessing the innate qualities of these instruments’ power and elegance to serve as a vessel for these themes. As a vocalist, their influences stem from a dynamic range of music stylings including contemporary opera, musical theater, and jazz, as well as ambient and noise music. Andrews has performed solo music under the stage name Like a Villain. In addition to creating solo work, Andrews develops and performs the soundscapes for dance, theater, and film, and whose work is still toured nationally and internationally.

0:19.2	over the past seven months was in with all of this restriction with things that we can't do
0:29.8	to protect our safety, to protect ourselves.
0:47.0	Where am I able to find limitless expansion within situations that I can't control. Situations where I am, where I'm feeling trapped and limited.
0:56.0	And so I was finding that one of my solutions to that
0:59.9	was to go on this deeply inward journey.
1:05.3	And that was where I was finding my own sense
1:08.8	of infinite experience, infinite self, infinite capacity, was this like, this swirling spiral of magic that has been within me since before I was consciously born that has been
1:31.4	loving me and supporting me since before I was taught that I shouldn't be loving myself.
1:37.0	Since before I was taught that there was anything wrong with me since before I was taught that I wasn't whole in the being of
1:46.7	myself and spending a lot of quality time with that thing inside of my body, this like this spark that is looking out in my physical body,
2:00.0	that has been there only loving me.
2:05.0	And that's it.
2:06.0	Only loving me, only having compassion for me,

2:26.1	this with this thing that's looking out through through my body because I was also
2:31.6	finding that like the more and more I would listen to it, the more and more opportunities I would have to experience more love for other people, more love for the earth, for my own sense of awareness of who I was and how, and how fluid that gets to be.
2:56.4	Finding the edges of decisions that I thought
2:59.2	I had made about my personality that I didn't actually want anymore, that I wanted to just change the narrative for who I thought I was and coming out of defining myself from being somebody who doesn't who defines their identity by things that they don't like versus the things that they love, if that makes any sense.
