How do we work with something we can't see? An instrument that starts deep inside before it becomes sound? In this episode, we're exploring the science of metaphor—why imagining a fishing rod or a dam or a beach ball can create immediate shifts in our voice without conscious effort. We learn about the research behind the ideomotor effect and mirror neurons, showing how metaphor speaks directly to our body's involuntary systems and activates pre-existing patterns it already understands.

The episode closes with a beautiful meditation-like experience, using one final metaphor to weave all six episodes together into a single embodied understanding. Spirit becoming sound. The invisible becoming audible. This is the incarnation—and by the end, you won't just understand voice differently... you'll understand yourself, differently.

✨ Key Takeaways

  • Metaphor speaks directly to our body's involuntary systems and activates patterns we already know
  • Using metaphor to work with what we can't see is participating in mystery—spirit taking form
  • By the end of these six episodes, we don't just understand voice differently—we understand ourselves differently
