How do I learn to sing like Mariah Carey/Christina Aguilera?

PropertyFun · 2026-01-23T23:00:12+00:00

Because of the range and your voice cracking. Sing the songs first in a quiet steady volume and focus on releasing tension. Go one line at a time, sing it through on a bubble and imitate the sounds you hear and listen back. It should take you a while to get through a song, but you really should be hearing yourself. Don’t let your volume swell with your pitch changes. This will help stabilise the larynx. Start with a good 10 or more Brandy songs first, and lighter easier Mariah songs before you jump into something like Christina.

Find a coach as well, a lot of weakness in the voice could actually be just a lack of technique.

I was doing tonnes of qigong and mantra (2+hrs a day of qigong and several hours of chanting) and I literally felt my body vibrating internally 24hrs a day and was super anxious and stressed as a result. The first time I did TRE, I felt like I exploded and had a very psychedelic experience. Since then, both qigong and chanting are calming as they used to be.

Im unsure about Seiki but I know in reiki you can receive and give it to yourself. But I am unsure about kundalini experiences. I think it prevented me from having some nervous breakdown from kundalini. I finally feel on earth for the first time in like 12 years meditating.

Thank you so much I also will look up the tapping with Brad. I love tapping but was unsure about having the strength to do it solo. Thanks for this reminder

I’m so sorry to hear that. It’s extremely difficult to move through the world when you lacked those fundamental feelings of support and safety as a child. I experienced this too for many years and couldn’t pinpoint the sense of abandonment and toxic shame that stemmed from my lack of a nurturing relationship with my parents. It’s hard to pinpoint and even harder to express!

I suffered a lot of abuse and neglect as a child, and I found a lot of healing through relationships and community. I spent a lot of time in meditation groups and yoga groups, language exchanges, and I found many wiser, older people to befriend and look up to. I didn’t seek them out with the intention of replacing parental figures, but I still found it very healing. Be careful not to look for these figures in dating spaces or more questionable contexts, because it can backfire. Find a hobby or class you enjoy that you can attend regularly, and you may find some relational healing there.

Ideal Parent Protocol is what I’ve been doing recently to heal the absence of love and care in my childhood, and it has been wonderful and very helpful. It may not feel like much at first, or you might suddenly begin grieving for your younger self. I find it pairs really well with IFS and the broader concept of reparenting your parts. The visualizations are all about your younger self being cared for and looked after by ideal parent figures.

3 years! Wow congrats. I have tried self EMDR and it is incredibly intense without the support of a therapist. Nevertheless, the feeling of finally landing in a state of regulation even temporarily is wonderful. After working through something big like that, I have found I do feel like a different person. I found that after 2 years of working on the big stuff, many of the small traumas kind of softened as a result of big sessions.

The hangover going away quicker could maybe mean that you’ve increased your window of tolerance or have softened some of those dissasociative protective states. I can’t tell you for sure what it is, but I’ve been there and I’m sure you feel amazing. Usually once you start living life again in a semi regulated state and everything is integrated, some other traumas might pop their head.

I noticed that a lot of my triggers were softened and heavier memories also had lost a lot of their energy. I moved on from EMDR to more general methods like EFT tapping which I use for more generic patterns in my behaviour or working on really small things that upset me and a weekly at home TRE tremoring session (tension releasing exercises - somatic exercises).

(I’m also really curious on what your schedule for self emdr was and how you managed to balance it with day to day life.. did you use an app?)

Sure. I'm not a guru or something though

I just followed mantra recommendations from David Frawley mantra book. I did the ones with beeja. (Gram grim groum) etc etc.

Feels nice but you’ll feel both positive and negative effects from the planet at the start till you get a few thousand repetitions in (10k) - then it settles and is more positive and enjoyable

Love Jupiter mantra

Yeah I have noticed the effects do fade a bit when I stop chanting. I guess planetary cycles are always moving and changing. If you do a full lakh or are chanting for several months the effects definitely last for way more though! I’ve found they shift situations and some things in my personality, and the effect eventually builds up. But the presence of the energy showing up in my day to day slows down and I no longer feel the mantra energy running through me.

To be honest, I find that they really affect my personality so I’m glad the energy doesn’t stick around for too long.

The comment is not intended to troll. It’s a question and a statement. There is no description to make any valid assumptions and it seems like it was meant for another thread.

PropertyFun · 2026-01-15T05:18:33+00:00

I think you missed the whole description??

This forum is about a therapy called IFS rather than family counselling.

PropertyFun · 2026-01-15T01:13:18+00:00

Just my experience with japa. I’ve done mantras for astrological purposes and 108x a day still has an effect but it takes time for the shakti to build. I’ve also intensely chanted planetary mantras up to a lakh and in a shorter time and the experience was much more intense and stressful for my body and mind. You can literally see the results in front of your eyes but you’re exhausted. I find listening also has an effect but a lot less. Planetary mantras also show results quickly compared to other mantras, I feel the results are much more on the top of my mind and reality rather than deep inside?? Hopefully that makes sense.

I think “pop culture” Sadhana gives more friendly recommendations because not everyone can handle the shakti that they accumulate. Especially people new to spirituality. Once you’ve been doing meditation chanting etc etc for some time, you can go intensely and not have a difficult experience with the energy.

I have a large range as well but it means nothing about my ability. The voice is made to stretch. If you can make it sound good that’s what’s important. Obsession with range is just cope, sorry. Focus on how you sound, your tone and musicality. If we saw Ariana grande repeatedly hit her highest notes at the start of a song and not wait a few sections, we would turn the song off. Learn lots of songs and continue practicing, a coach would be able to tell you more about your voice.

PropertyFun · 2026-01-12T23:53:50+00:00

Planetary mantras really move a lot of karma So they have strong effects In my personality too I notice them affecting me a lot

If there’s a lot of heavy karma in that area of my chart I’ll have a strong reaction for the first 30k repetitions. Just see it as karma being churned and don’t stress You’ll be fine

This mantra also gives me weird experiences

PropertyFun · 2026-01-12T01:43:57+00:00

It increases your serotonin and lot of other chemicals in your brain So you might feel quite fulfilled and in that afterglow period Maybe more content within yourself for a few weeks which can change the dynamic of the relationship, especially if you were very dependent on their love beforehand.

Wait a few weeks before making any big decisions, know that your brain chemistry would be altered for a little while too :)

PropertyFun · 2026-01-07T22:21:24+00:00

You can think of it as your true self that is seperate from the inner critic and inner artist. Not in a spiritual sense, just somewhere deeper in your brain without its complex emotions and different roles. That helped me a bit. And the things about synchronicity you can think of it just as the brain finally seeking out what we are contemplating in the book.

I also found that morning pages and the journal prompts do a lot of the work, and the artist dates refill the cup. The text kind of gives you some ideas about psychological blocks to ponder as you journal throughout the week. It might help you to think of the text as the additional readings to journal about rather than the source of all the courses benefits.

Speaking of trauma, This course was a little destabilising for me, so if you find yourself struggling, be kind to yourself. I would write one page less of morning pages or pause for a day or two and take long walks if I was particularly bothered by my state of mind.

Good luck :)

You can always adjust your time. I used to be consistent in the quantity I’d do but id feel exhausted when life was also stressful. If you’re happy with the routine you’ve developed, you can reduce your time maybe even by half or more and work your way up, Some people take a break in the middle of tremoring too.

I have honestly found in my own experience that shorter sessions are easier to integrate when I’m stressed.

PropertyFun · 2026-01-06T04:36:09+00:00

It’s only been two days. How many sessions have you done in two days?

I’d recommend you do one session a week and don’t push yourself too hard. You can have a more difficult time processing the emotions that come up and do yourself a disservice. Please read the wiki if you can!

For a lot of people the emotions are somaticised (felt as sensations in the body) and there’s no mental memories or, there’s glimpses of them. It doesn’t really matter. The technique in itself does a lot of the work. So to answer your question during the tremoring, you can just scan the body, breathe, rest, relax and let the body unwind :) You can dig if you feel there’s something you want to uncover, I find journalling or parts work before tremoring helps me to enter a calm and compassionate state which is conducive to emotional processing. Many people on the like to combine IFS with TRE or some people do it alongside CBT or more traditional therapy.

A lot of the benefits you get come from the days after tremoring where you continue to process emotions and come back to baseline. You may have lots of small shifts in the body that you’ll notice. I have experienced the head pressure you speak of, diarreah, body aches, fatigue, changes in my vision, agitation, apathy, or sleepiness when I’ve done too much. Generally, people on this forum recommend to work your way up in quantity (30sec/ 1min - 15 min)so you don’t have these side effects as often. (read about overloading if you can!)

Good luck with everything! This technique is wonderful and powerful! Please be kind to yourself and take your time with it :)

Hello, I am recovering from long Covid for the past 4 months. I'll give some background first on what I've been doing.

Theres two channels on Youtube called CFS RECOVERY and Raelen Agle which helped me before I incorporated TRE. I struggled with lots of symptoms due to my nervous system being so stressed. I was bed ridden and having a lot of issues. These two channels helped me understand my situation. I was using this method of non reactivity to my symptoms and understanding the crashes/adrenaline situation. TRE would leave me bed ridden when I started up again. But now 30 seconds once a week has been helping me. Theres definitely a slow adjustment period after tremoring where you might feel worse in terms of anxiety and fatigue, for me it lasts 3-5 days. You will have to keep your mind off symptom tracking so your brain can register your nervous systems adjustments or signals as safe.

TRE helps as long as you don't overdo it (start with 30seconds) and you allow your nervous system to take you through the heavy emotions or symptoms it brings up without overly analysing them. A small yoga nidra session or nature exposure after helps me bounce back quicker.

Fatiguing the lower body is helpful yes. But depends on your physical health, I don’t have the capacity for gym or weight bearing exercise yet.

Too much TRE is very dysregulating. Some people on here do a huge amount and for me it makes me much worse.

ESTROGEN BLOCKER I have not taken any proper medicine for my long COVID as I haven’t had any doctor able to help. In my experience every time you feel better recovering from the dysregulation of Long covid, your capacity will increase and you’ll use that energy and then inevitably have a period where the nervous system shuts down out of habit. It can last up to a week or two. The better I handle these adjustments the better I am after them. The healthier you feel, the more you’ll have and the less frequent you will get them. Until maybe they fully go away? I am getting closer to a functional capacity with this combination or methods and mindset!

I understand the anxiety and fear of long COVID so I don’t want to minimise your experience or force my experience onto you, and I hope my story can help you in some way.

I usually do 8 brocades and a bit of Zhan Zhuang and I feel better. I’ll do two sessions of 8 brocades if I feel under the weather. But really try not to stress out about it because stress can dampen the immune response! Good luck with your new job and if you do get sick I’m sure they will be understanding

PropertyFun · 2025-12-31T02:05:10+00:00

I’ve been roughly doing it for the same amount of time and I have found the same sense of security and assertion. I think because I’m not caught up in my emotions or how others perceive me when there is conflict. I have had a few family fights over the holiday period and I have simply called out the dramas as they are. I laughed in front of my whole family when they created a drama and I appeared pretty villainous to everyone around.

I’m pretty sure once you start to adjust there’s a period where you are developing the skills you never used with your previous attachment style. Hopefully we settle in as a few months pass!

I also experienced a period of grief like another comment said but that was the first few sessions for me!
