The Relationship between the Pelvis and the Voice

  • One of the explorations I do in almost every in-person workshop is to have participants stand, one at a time, and say their name. So often it’s difficult to hear people when they speak their name.
    Part of empowering our voice is embodying its embryological beginnings and connection to our perineal body in the center of our pelvic diaphragm.
    One of my mentors, Erick Hawkins, said to me 50 years ago, “Bonnie, until you learn to speak, you’ll never learn to dance”. This set me on a path to find my voice - how to let go of the inhibition to speak.
    In this clip, we look at how the perineal body embryologically gives rise to our vocal mechanisms and how we can find and embody that connection today.
    We also look at how holding in the pelvis, which often locks the spine, can cause hip and back issues and how we can release that holding.
    This clip is from my online course, Embodied Anatomy and the Dynamics of Vocalization.
    The full online course is available at bonniebainbridgecohen.com/pro...
    The Dynamics of Vocal Expression presents unique and effective Body-Mind Centering® principles for working with your voice. The expressive qualities of our voice communicate to others who we are. Bringing kinesthetic and auditory awareness to our vocal structures allows us to better embody, articulate and balance them. This process opens pathways of expression between our unconscious and conscious mind and between ourselves and others.
    Material covers:
    • Gaining awareness of your own patterns of vocalization and
    facilitating repatterning in others
    • Using spatial planes and vowel scales in shaping your pharynx
    for clear overtones and vowel production
    • Distinguishing the production of pitch and intensity in your
    larynx (vocal cartilages and vocal diaphragm)
    • Remembering your embryological development as it relates to
    voice
    • Recognizing the psychophysical aspects of breathing and
    vocalization
    The Body-Mind Centering® approach to Embodied Anatomy is a deep, internal study of the body in which movement and consciousness are explored through the direct experience of our own body systems, tissues and cells.
    The principles of Embodied Anatomy can be applied to any type of movement, bodywork, therapy or other body-mind discipline.

      What may be interesting to you is that in ancient Chinese Qi Gong the focus is also the pelvis.. in Chinese its called the Low Dantian which is actually what the original Yin Yang symbol is symbolizing. The Yin and Yang symbol is actually the low dantian which is where you combine positive and negative chi and channel it up the spine.

Wow. What results - a torque in the entire neural tube. I have looked carefully at the pelvis issues for 25 years after a terrible injury. Yes, the pelvis is the foundation of the central nervous and musculoskeletal systems. And some of us have continuing life long issues due to the congenital issue I mentioned.

    Im interested in what this conversation has to offer in regards to s*xual trauma, ancestral wounds, and mother wounds, and how we hold onto it unconsciously in the body. My jaw is clenched often and my pelvis area almost always feels tight/tense. I’ve been to a lot of therapy and learned a lot about myself through the mind, but the body is completely neglected under the colonial model for psychological help. There would be no psychology without the physiological body to hold all that power. I’m a metal vocalist now, it’s something I’ve always knew I’d do, and I’ve never even heard of the pelvic diaphragm- and certainly most people have not even thought of their pelvic area as a center of gravity. We don’t apply resistance to that on purpose, it’s a learned mechanism, and I haven’t the first clue on how to heal something so automated like that.

The group of centurions in Japan get up from the floor where they sit about 30x a day, so there's lots of health and agility for them vs in the US, our elders die from not being able to get off the floor when they fall.
    I thought about watching UA-cam from my floor (I'm on my Mac) instead of slouching in this computer chair. That sounds so much better! Plus, the only reason I have this setup is because desk-chair-computer is the norm for us. It definitely feels incorrect to my body though.

    As a prof opera singer and FK teacher I would say
    expiration we come into a position where the pelvis rolls a bit forward and we get a natural long spine(and this is speaking or singing .When air comes in the pelvis rolls a bit to th pubic bone ,like you sais that we stand or walk .we sing through our bones ,that means when I let fall my leg to the ground ,this will be the sound (the lumber spine has no curve(or a small one
    I do this this in workshops and also in voice classes Greetings from Paris

    Brilliant insights, I love your experimentations and way you explaning to the audience! I think, just my opinion.., core exercises are helping lots of things. It projecting the central muscles and organs/backbone/posture coz it is stategically located on the mid section of human being. I do a lot of ladder climbing as trademan (start late 20's all way in my late 30's now) and because I am so „tired of feeling lousy" and suffer after gruesome work - I take initiatives to start doing simple stretching (the one on the mat) with the emphasization on core exercise. I was once a runner - I just dump it all (because time issues). Most of ppl I know would compliment my look nonetheless -- mind you, I am not extremely skinny neither that plumpy -- (it is not genetic, I tend to gain weight likke normal ppl after lack of sport activity ). If you do smthg consistently as a routine... It eventually shows. Right now, I see many ppl are doing extremly routine in gym etc etc yadda yadda -- YES, forsure you can do it, but all pivot down to how you pay the attention and begin on the stretching as basis. I've never vigorously swimming all my life, either -- you can swim confidently/efficiently/superbly fast... But it all might possible and could be achived with deep stretchings. (I swim like, 2 times a year and I'd not whine when I not have facility to do it). In Asia (my country) only elites class could swim... We are lack of municipal dacilities, with this I just not have to worry about it anymore. That is, one of many perks of simple stretching. Luckily we are on the era of UA-cam, we able to obtain some knowledges. Thank you!

    I think I know why they pin the hips like that on the skeletons. In normal life that's called "sway back," and it happens when the lumbar curve isn't being pulled into place by the deep abdominal muscles, so the person tilts their hips forward to compensate. It makes a bad situation worse, but it performs an essential function: it moves the spine forward regardless of what the muscles are doing.
    The skeletons don't have muscles. So they tilt the hips to fake the lumbar curve. That's my take.
    Also, I'm not an expert in any of this stuff or anything, so what I'm saying might be inaccurate, etc.

    Hey Bonnie, I've discovered similar things by reverse engineering traditional martial arts masters' moves, many of which can be viewed online but are basically impossible to duplicate even by Olympic grade athletes, coaches, and by people trained in modern Western functional anatomy. Interestingly, I'm finding philosophical, paleontological, anthropological, biochemical, evolutionary (cooperation, harmlessness, healing) and anatomical reasons why these largely 'secret' moves are so powerful and gentle at the same time. Like you, the core area (tanden) has been a focus in my art for many decades but only now am I finally able to articulate why regaining a holistic awareness of how our body works is important. It's important if we want to lead lives of enlightenment via continuous contemplative learning. In short, while learning things about our body is the most natural of urges, it is one among many things that I sense has been systematically censored upon entered modernity. Western industrial medicine has a lot to answer for in this suppression of our originally mobile 'human nature'. We have, as a result, lost our innate curiosity, wonderment and joy of movement and its connection with other vertebrate forms, not to mention all animate forms, even the elements of which we are a part. In short, we lead strained lives in bodies which refuse to do what we ask of them, while we gradually lose what minimum mobility we had as children in a world we increasingly perceive as menacing to our very existence. The truth is just the opposite. By discovering all the handiworks of nature in our body, we not only come to love the body we live in but all of nature upon whose evolutionary developments we rely. The proper study of the body should help us restore our connection to all living things and thereby help us appreciate the sophistication and beauty of the Creator..!

My personal methodology calls on my several traditions but rest assured I will pay respects and homage to yours, and will report back as we progress. Voicework and embodiment are deeply spiritual practices. Each day we face fears, hopes, hierarchies and cultural and intellectual restrictions. There is hope in the versatility of the body to sense itself, and its potentialities, in the right circumstances, to keep expanding..

It was surprising and pleasant (very, very relaxing) as I later realised that warmth was likely that that area was/ received healing/ base chakra spinning. As chakras are where hormonal glands (endokrine glands) are situated. Hence once these balanced well, others may experience rebalancing (in therapy, if one area is corrected, the above areas correct accordingly/ automatically)
      I hope this makes sense

      @@ukestudio3002 Well it's weird. My voice has become "sharper", more high pitched and more nasal. But other than that some weirdness is going on in my sinuses I think. Usually one open them up to gain resonans, right?! Now when I'm trying that I get some weird distorted sound from the sinuses. And when using falsetto, some notes resonates so that I get two notes at the same time. It's super weird. I tired to record it with my phone but it didn't pick it up. But when using a proper consensator mic I can hear it.
      My guess is that it is some kind of endothelial dysfunction. Maybe the vagus nerve got damaged or something.

      Hey! I had this issue too.
      I've had Covid 4 times. Your voice WILL come back, but it'll be different.
      My voice can go much higher, but I can't go as low. My voice breaks, becomes very open, really high, and temporarily unstable.
      Then it becomes very clear and light, higher than ever.
      I also get multiple tones in my voice occasionally now too. Like I'm singing with three voices.
      My voice came back after a year and some practice. You might have a Covid related sinus issue.
      The effects of Covid are new and doctors themselves aren't sure of the long term effects- That EMT shouldn't have given you such an ineffective and hopeless answer.

I ave EDS w/hyper-mobility and that has made it almost impossible for any dr. to see or believe there is an imbalance. I believe I have simultaneous hip dilocations (displacement).
    Obviously, it has effected my pelvis. My voice has changed among[many] other things as I'm sure you can well imagine. I could go on but sufice it to say I'm glad someone else sees it!!!! :D

    Is part of the problem weak hamstrings and glutes, and overactive quads? In resistance/weighr training you see peoppe that have poor hip flexion and it can often be due to 'tight' hams, calfs and lack of activation from the muscles that better help the squat.
    I warm up for the squat with some ankle dorsiflexion, hams stretches and some upper body work and it helps. My brother brother cant squat at all. His heels come off the ground and his but 'winks' as its known in the community.
    We have 'celtic' hips due to our Irish side in the family. Mine are wide (for a man at least) and I really have to stretch them and do movements so thay i feel good when I run and when I lift weights.

The pelvis as she showed in the skeletons, becomes collapses and unopened. Beyond this it gets into things which I don't think are entirely valid but I think that's the basis of how it effects the voice/confidence etc.
