#118 Grace, Meditation, and Voice

Today, I interview Georgann Low who has a compelling story of facing inner struggle and losing her voice after a journey through the tumultuous landscape of the '60s and '70s. From an outspoken and sassy youth to a period of drug-induced turmoil, Georgann's journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.After graduating from high school, Georgann spent years in New York and California, going to college until she dropped out to become a full-fledged hippie. The drugs she took opened amazing new perspectives, however her experience very quickly degenerated into a living hell of loneliness and paranoia - her sense of herself and her confidence were gone. She lost her ability to speak for a time. She was terrified of the world.Eventually, at age 28, she gave up all drugs and learned to meditate which became her saving grace.Yoga and meditation have been her tools for spiritual growth. Untrained in music, she became a professional singer starting out when she was 30 with Country and Blues and eventually moving into jazz. She still performs in clubs both here and in France with excellent musicians. She’s delighted to say she learned to speak French when living alone there.In the days when she didn't speak, she took up drawing and continued to express herself through pen and ink and lots of color.__________________Georgann is an international singer, artist, and author of the new memoir "Dancing Alone". She is known in musical circles for her unique blend of jazz. She is also an everyday mystic open to varied contemplative traditions.Through meditation, she discovered her saving grace and regained her voice, empowering her to share her wisdom and gifts with the world. Her message resonates with all of us: open your heart, take a deep breath, and embrace the journey with a joyful spirit.__________________Find Georgann here:[email protected]://www.facebook.com/georgann.lowhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/georgann-low-b65b5210/https://www.amazon.com/stores/Georgann-Low/author/B097YWBYW8?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=trueSupport the showI’m Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.
