“In recovering your true voice and your authentic expression, you learn how to inhabit this vessel that is the body, physically and energetically and emotionally.” Almunis Alejandra Ortiz

About this interview:

We often carry the story “I can’t sing” or “That’s not my voice”, a belief rooted in comparison, in safety, in self-protection. We excuse our expression by saying it’s for others: “If I sing well, they’ll love me.” 

In this week’s TIMELESS, Alumnus Alejandra Ortis speaks of the voice as a channel – a conduit for the vibrant force that already dances through us. In this episode, we are invited to shift the gaze: the voice is not you pushing forth, but life moving through you.

In How to Remember Your Voice and Sing Freely, we disentangle from the hidden contracts of love and validation, and rest in the truth that you are love. The voice is simply an expression of that. We speak about lineage, safety, and how many voices – especially those of women – were muted through ancestral memory.

May this conversation be a place of permission to let sound move, to let truth sing, to remember the electric current you are.


“You ​start ​listening ​with ​your ​whole ​body ​because ​you’re ​like ​restoring ​the ​whole ​vibratory ​field ​by ​singing. ​And ​when ​you ​do ​it ​with ​others, ​it’s ​like. ​It’s ​the ​most ​natural yearning ​of ​our ​beings. To ​be ​together, ​to ​feel ​accompanied.” Almunis Alejandra Ortiz
