In this paper we focus on some of its pillars: specifically, those that can be approached from music and particularly from singing. The latter relates to silence and deep listening, and this triad leads to a special embodied self-awareness. The explanation is based on the origins of the singing voice and on the philosophical foundation that connects the human being with the whole, understood as a form energy and vibration. The repertoire that would be used to apply these affirmations is close to Gregorian chant present in the Western tradition, but updated from a new practical and experientially contemplative approach that seeks spiritual growth as its final objective.
