Throughout antiquity spiritual groups emphasized words and our voices. The Sufi Master Hazrat Inyat Khan said, "As we delve into the mysteries of life, we discover the whole secret is hidden in what we call words. All occult science, all mystical practices are based upon the science of the word or sound."[1] The power of a word is not its meaning, but its energy – its sound.

People carry energy and intent in their voices. For example, Jesus’ miracles were triggered by His verbal commands. His personal energy was embodied in the energy of His words. His words and the sound of his voice was a crucial part of His miracles.

Hazat Inyat Khan commented, “The fortunate person has a different voice… than the one who is not. When you compare the voices of great people with the voices of others, there is a great difference.

From the voice, you can determine the stage of a person's evolution. You do not need to see him; just his voice will tell you how far he has evolved.

The character of a person is evident in his voice. And there comes a change in the voice with every step of spiritual evolution.”[2]

Khan continues, “Healing that comes through a change of mind or feeling, instigated by personal will, simply does not have the sustaining power to be permanent or complete. 

True healing requires the transformational ability of sound."[3] Many masters agree. Theosophist Alice Bailey wrote that only sound gives us transformative power to substantially improve our personality. This is best done with the sound of one’s voice.

Few people realize that they can change their life force with their speaking voice. We can spend part of every day to develop our voice. Our words exchange energy with who we are. It is not just that the voice is a reflection of who we are, but when we can change our voice, we change who we are.

 Our voice and our soul have a two-way street between them. Change is easier and more powerful by changing your voice than using our will power. We can increase our vitality and power by using our voices for healing.
