The Living Voice

Yee Ley

The Living Voice is a podcast exploring what shapes our voice and how our voice shapes the world.  I’m joined by guests from diverse backgrounds as we explore voice as more than communication. We look at how our voice is shaped by our physical wellbeing, inherited stories, the cultures and environments we move within, and the ways each of us is uniquely wired. Together, we inquire into what becomes possible when we meet our voice with kindness, awareness, and curiosity. I'm your host Yee Ley Lau

    Ep7: Astrology & The Living Voice with Meghan Kelly

    In this episode with Meghan, we explore the fascinating relationship between astrology, voice and embodiment. We talk about fate and destiny, how astrological transits can illuminate our communication capacities, and how our charts may reflect ancestral, personal and collective stories around voice and expression. We also explore the voices of famous singers and voice teachers, and how reconnecting with the body can help us find greater groundedness, somatic capacity and authentic expression. Ultimately, astrology may show us the landscape -  but we choose how we use our voice within it. How will we speak up for what matters to us, and how can we move beyond collective dissonance to find a voice that is truly our own? About Meghan Kelly Meghan is originally from Colorado in the USA but today lives in Europe (Belgium) with her dual Irish citizenship. She is a Constellations Trainer, a Somatic-oriented Psychotherapist and Traumatologist and Counseling Astrologer. Her approach is an integral one that includes the whole person – body, mind and spirit. Meghan sees Constellation work as a ceremony & personal ritual. While therapeutic, it goes beyond therapy when the physical (the body) meets the spirit (the Field). As a Counseling Astrologer, she uses astrology to complement & at times guide the therapeutic process. She has combined her two passions - for Constellations & Astrology - into what she calls “AstroConstellations®” where the lived personal and systemic experiences hidden in our birthchart come to life. Meghan holds regular Constellation Circles both online and in Brussels and has a Moon Membership for AstroConstellations Circles each month Connect with Meghan https://www.instagram.com/gettotheorigin https://www.instagram.com/astro.constellations https://www.facebook.com/gettotheorigin Support the show Host: Yee Ley Lau www.yeeleylau.com Instagram: @yeeleylau Youtube: @yeeleylau InSightTimer: @yeeleylau

    Ep4: Song and Sexuality with Talia Brand

    In this episode Talia shares with us her journey with voice and how she weaves sound, spirit and soma into her work, the importance of our breath, safe spaces versus co-regulation, the Song of the Whales and how song and sexuality can contribute to our consciousness. She also shares a special transmission with us at the end.  About Talia Talia Brand is the founder of Vocal Alchemy, a body of work devoted to remembering wholeness through voice. At its heart, Vocal Alchemy is an invitation to awaken your unified note through the synergy of sound, spirit and soma. It is a return to the Primordial Voice—the voice before conditioning, before performance, before the perceived split between spirit and matter. Sound has always been Talia's first language. A way of giving voice to the inexpressible and weaving between worlds. For over four decades, she has explored the transformative power of the human voice, beginning with classical vocal training and performance before following a path beyond technique into the deeper intelligence of sound as a pathway to remembering who we truly are in this moment. A Sound and Somatic Therapist, Talia weaves together decades of experience with extensive training in Somatic Experiencing, Embodied Counselling, Sexological Bodywork and Shamanic Womb Work. Her work invites people to move beyond the right-or-wrong sound and rediscover the voice that has always been within—a voice where every note is welcome. Living beside the lakes and mountains of Aotearoa, New Zealand, Talia finds continual inspiration in the natural world. Rivers, oceans and whales have become profound teachers in her own journey, deeply influencing how she hears and understands sound. Through breath, sound, movement, embodied awareness and deep listening, Vocal Alchemy becomes a pathway home—a place where body and spirit are no longer experienced as separate, where sensation and consciousness meet, and where each person can rediscover their own unique song within the unified field. Together we remember. https://www.taliabrand.com/ Support the show Host: Yee Ley Lau www.yeeleylau.com Instagram: @yeeleylau Youtube: @yeeleylau InSightTimer: @yeeleylau
