The benefits that singing brings to anyone

It works for any music: samba, opera, sertanejo, rock, pagode, axé, bossa nova. The secret is to feel good. Riding on the wave of success of The Voice Brasil (Rede Globo) program, start singing more and feel the benefits that freeing up your voice brings to anyone, even those out of tune!

Start by letting go of shame and self-criticism. Choose a place where no one will disturb you, like your car or shower. Then sing to animals and babies (who won’t criticize) and lastly invite your husband to partner up. Still not convinced? So, see the advantages listed by Professor Arly Cravo.

7 reasons to drop the gogó

1. Relax and relieve anxiety

The routine is so full of tasks that everyone is anxious, under pressure. But anxiety causes the body to be, unnecessarily, in a permanent state of alert – adrenaline shoots up and the reserve of air in the lungs increases. And that only makes the anguish worse! Singing forces us to let it all out and relax.

2. Release trapped emotions and reduce shyness

Singing is a form of expression that deeply touches our emotions, because we feel what we sing. And, the more varied the songs, the greater the amount of feelings that we let emerge. Plus, it’s great therapy for shy people. Many artists are shy in life, but on stage, they rock!

3. Boost self-esteem

No one thinks they sing well, right? This happens because the voice we hear is different from the voice others hear. Risking a loud and clear chorus, therefore, is a way to stop worrying about the opinion of others and bet on one’s own potential without fear of making mistakes or out of tune. It’s singing to feel good and that’s it! Need something else?

4. Open yourself to love

As many songs are linked to the theme, singing them allows us to better digest stories that are unresolved or hidden within our heart and attract new romances.

5. Unlock in bed

Putting the vocal cords to work unlocks sexuality! It’s just that the glottis and the female organ are in chakras linked to expression. “Our biggest social block is in relation to expressiveness, and this leaves our energy at a standstill, even more so at these points. Those who unlock the glottis by singing make the energy circulate, benefiting the sexuality chakra”, explains Arly Cravo.

6. Breathe properly

When we sing, we are forced to breathe in a deeper and more controlled way. And naturally, we repeat this throughout the day and breathe better. As a bonus, we massage the diaphragm, which contracts when inhaling and relaxes when exhaling and releasing air from the lungs.

7. Improve posture

If breathing is so important for singing, you can’t crouch or crouch down, right? To rock karaoke, you have to maintain good posture.
