Report: A Personal Experience of Unfolding Self Through Singing by Douglas Schneider, M.D.
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is linked to the Unconscious, a relationship which has been therapeutically addressed with autogenic training, sometimes leading to transcendent experiences. The ANS is also involved in stored traumatic experiences and must be addressed for the release of stored trauma. Bodily storage of trauma can also involve the vocal apparatus. This report briefly describes a pedagogy of singing that involves the ANS and that lead this writer into an unexpected transcendent experience of self.
Keywords: Autonomic nervous system, vocal, singing
