15 Amazing Connections Between Your Vagina And Vocal Cords | Vulva And Voice Box

5. The Vagina And The Larynx Are Both Gatekeepers Of The Body

Physically and energetically, the throat, larynx, vagina, and cervix are sacred gatekeepers to the body. All are spiritual pathways and physical entrances from the outside world to the inner world, and vice versa. 

Not only does the throat allow self-expression from the inner world to the outer world, but the throat also facilitates and controls nourishment from the outer world to the inner world through consumed drinks, foods, and even air. 

The larynx in particular plays a key role in ensuring that food and drinks nourish the body, as opposed to entering the windpipe. The epiglottis is attached to the top of the larynx and it closes like a lid when you swallow. This ensures that food and drink don’t go into your windpipe.¹⁵

The larynx plays a key role in your ability to breathe through a variety of different functions which includes widening the diameter of your airways during the process of respiration.¹⁶ 

The vagina and cervix also play a key role in sexual expression and the birth of offspring. Both the vagina and cervix require a sacred dance between the inner and outer worlds during the process of sexual activity and the creation of offspring.

The vagina and cervix are Divine gateways which help to control a sacred pathway into the inner world, your yoni, and womb. When the vagina is comfortable and happy to allow something to enter it is relaxed. And when it does not consent to being entered the vagina walls tighten and constrict to prevent entry and obstruct the passageway.

Similarly, the cervix controls the entrance to the uterus. It allows sperm to enter the womb, and protects the uterus from infection via cervical mucus, whilst also allowing menstrual blood, and the baby to exit the body too.

6. The Vagina And The Larynx Are A Source Of Creation And Self-Expression

Both the vocal cords and the reproductive organs are a source of beauty and creation. They are messengers. Not only do they express the intimate soul of the individual, but they also express the Divine nature of Higher Consciousness too. 

The female reproductive system expresses Divinity through the creation of babies, sexual energy, and menstruation. And the vocal cords express Divinity through the creation of sound, speech, singing, poetry, breath, and all different types of vocalisation.

There is a deep intimate connection between the inner and outer worlds, the soul of the individual, and the Divine nature of Higher Consciousness, through the throat and the vagina.

7. Both The Vagina And Larynx Are Controlled By Rhythmic Muscular Pulses, Vibrations And Contractions

Rapid rhythmic contractions play a role in various activities of the female reproductive system and your voice. 

Rapid uterine contractions play a central role in menstruation, conception, pregnancy, childbirth, and orgasm. Hormones such as oxytocin and prostaglandins play a huge role in controlling uterine and vaginal contractions during labour, orgasm, and menstruation.¹⁷·¹⁸

Whilst vocalization is also produced by the contraction and relaxation of your laryngeal muscles and the pulsing vibration of the vocal cords as air passes through them.⁷

8. The Vocal Cords Have A Moon Cycle In Tandem With Your Menstruation

Did you know that the vocal cords have a moon cycle in synchronization with your menstrual cycle?¹¹

A clinical study on the menstrual cycle and vocal performance by the Journal of Voice notes that there are correlations between hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle and the larynx. 

This is because much like the genitals, the larynx is also affected by sex hormones.⁶

A clinical study by Jean Abitbol notes that the harmony of the voice is dependent on hormones. And that premenstrual vocal syndrome can cause vocal fatigue along with affecting vocal range, power, and the harmonics of women at certain times of their menstrual cycle.²⁰

9. Your Breath, Voice, Throat, Jaw, Pelvic Floor And Vagina React To Fear And Stress

Your breath, voice, jaw, pelvic floor, and vagina are all sensitive to fear, stress and anxiety.

When you are stressed, or in fear, the vagina and pelvic floor become tense and tighten. Stress and anxiety cause rigidity within the body and your muscles due to the sympathetic nervous system—which activates the body’s fight or flight response.¹⁹ And your voice and breath also react in a similar fashion.

When you are tense this affects the muscles in your throat, larynx, and jaw, and the sounds produced by your vocal cords change. 

You may notice that if you are scared, anxious, in pain, or stressed that your jaw is tense and your voice is much higher in pitch. A scream is a great example—a scream out of panic or pain is shrill and high-pitched.

Whereas if you compare this to a moan of enjoyment from sexual play or a good chocolate cake… the sounds are much different. Moans of pleasure are deep, earthy, grounded, and much lower in pitch—and your jaw is relaxed.

Another good example to show how the throat responds to stress is the sensation of having a ‘lump in the throat’. Medically this is known as ‘globus sensation’. It is an increase of muscle tension in the throat and often happens in tandem with strong emotions such as fear or worry.

Your breath is another vital component of vocalisation, as it carries the sound from your vocal cords by causing your vocal cords to vibrate on the exhale, and it also responds to stress too.

When you are stressed your breathing will be quick and shallow, whereas when you’re relaxed your breathing will be deep, long, rhythmic and much slower. 

10. Your Vocal And Sexual Expression Require Safety, Respect, And Relaxation

Sexual expression, vocal expression, and creativity require us to feel heard, valued, and honoured.

The voice and vagina are both connected to the nervous system and ‘shut down’ when danger is perceived. Because the voice, throat, jaw, pelvic floor, and vagina are sensitive to stress, fear, and anxiety—they require safety, respect, and relaxation to ‘open up’ and ‘operate’ at their optimum. 

In order to activate healthy sexual pleasure and enjoyable sexual exploration there needs to be consent, respected boundaries, mutual safety, and a sense of relaxation. 

When there is relaxation and enjoyment, the vagina is lubricated and becomes ready for penetration. 

And you’ll notice that when you are relaxed and feel secure you also feel safe to be vulnerable, sexually express yourself, and playfully sexually explore.

This is similar to the use of your voice. When you don’t feel safe or respected then your ability to use your voice feels restricted. 

When you don’t feel safe it can be a challenge to be vulnerable, communicate your needs or boundaries, and express through vocalisation such as speech, singing, or any other sounds.

When you’re perceiving danger, stress, or anxiety you’ll notice that your jaw tightens, your breathing becomes shallow, and you may even feel a ‘lump’ in your throat that literally prevents you from expressing through the voice. 

Also, much like the vagina, when you’re stressed and perceive danger you get a dry mouth, and it lubricates and becomes moist when you’re relaxed and calm!

11. The Vagina And Voice Both Require A Build Up Or ‘Warm-Up’ Prior To Use

You’ll find that both the voice and vagina require some priming or ‘warming up’ prior to use in order to prepare for action!

Both the voice and vagina require a preliminary warm-up stage to get them ready and ‘limber’ for the exploration of sexual activity or vocal self-expression.

In terms of the vagina, we are referring to foreplay. During foreplay, you engage in different activities that prepare you physically, mentally, and emotionally for sexual activity by creating sexual arousal and pleasure. One of the ways that sexual arousal helps to prepare the vagina for sexual activity and sexual intercourse is by increasing vaginal lubrication.

The voice also needs to be warmed up prior to being used for self-expression. For example, professional singers and speakers will practice vocal exercises and vocal warm-ups prior to performing in order to prepare their voices for full use and to prevent vocal damage.

Failing to warm up properly can damage the voice, and similarly, failing to ‘warm up’ properly for sexual activity can be extremely uncomfortable both physically and mentally. 

Pay some attention to how your yoni and throat synchronize during sexual play and sensual exploration. When you passionately kiss, both your mouth and yoni lubricate and become moist and wet. 

And also you might notice that when you’re struggling to relax you feel tension in the vagina, pelvic floor, jaw, neck, and face.

Another example of how the mouth and yoni both require safety and a warm-up prior to being used is the gag reflex. If you aren’t prepared or try to force something into your mouth without warning, it commonly triggers your gag reflex. 

It will most likely cause you to tense up, gag, and choke. Well, a similar thing also happens with your vagina. If your yoni is unprepared for sexual activity, it also tenses and tightens in resistance.

12. Self-Exploration Comes Before Shared-Exploration

Another interesting connection between the vagina and the vocal cords is the need to self-explore before you venture into sharing your experience with others. 

Sharing your unfiltered authentic self-expression through sexual intimacy and vocal communication is often a vulnerable, raw, and personal experience. 

In general, in order to be comfortable with yourself, and what you want to share with others, you first explore your sexuality and your voice with yourself, or by yourself. 

Once you have explored your sexuality through self-play and masturbation, you’re then often ready to move into shared intimacy if you wish. 

And similarly, with your voice, you first become comfortable with what you want to share, either through thinking about what you desire to share or through speaking and singing aloud on your own. 

Once you become comfortable with your creative expression and communication, you may then choose to share this intimate part of yourself with others. 

Both the vagina and voice generally require solo self-exploration first so that you can understand exactly who you are, before you comfortably and confidently move into shared ventures of creativity and intimacy with others. 

Self-exploration prior to shared exploration allows you to feel confident in your likes, dislikes, choices, needs, boundaries, and desires.

13. Both The Larynx And The Vagina Satiate Appetites 

The throat, larynx, vagina and female reproductive system help to satiate appetites! Whether that’s an appetite for self-expression or sexual expression. Or an appetite for food, drink, air, and nourishment, or even an appetite for offspring!

Obviously, your food and drink travel through the throat, but the larynx—which houses your vocal cords—is specifically responsible for ensuring that your food and drink go down your oesophagus and into your stomach for digestion.

And similarly, the vagina is responsible for increasing lubrication so that you can satiate your sexual appetite, and the cervix is responsible for allowing sperm to enter the uterus, and menstrual blood or your offspring to leave the uterus.

It can be said that we require both sexual pleasure and food to truly and blissfully survive and thrive!

14. The Throat And Reproductive System Are Energetic Centres With An Associated Chakra

The throat and reproductive system are both vital energy centres that are home to two of your vital chakras.

The throat chakra, also known as vishuddha chakra, is located in the centre of the throat at the larynx. Vishuddha chakra, or the throat chakra, is responsible for authentic self-expression, pure communication, and the expression of the Divine truth.

And the sacral chakra, also known as svadhistana chakra, is located around the region of the lumbar spine, below the navel in the lower belly in the area of the reproductive system and organs.

Svadhistana chakra, or the sacral chakra, is responsible for passionate creativity, sensual pleasure, sexual pleasure, emotions, and intimacy.

15. Both The Voice And Vagina Are Powerful Tools In Relationships

The voice and vagina are both powerful instruments that can be used to create intimate bonds and healthy interpersonal relationships. They are great tools for self-expression within relationships, that can be used to deepen trust, love, safety, and respectful bonds.

The voice and the vagina help us to feel connected to others, either in love, intimacy, or simply community.

Both the voice and vagina can be used to express what you are feeling inside and they can be used as instruments of communication to convey love, emotions, desires, needs, choices, and boundaries.

In relationships, you can use your voice and vagina not only to get your needs met, but also to meet the needs of your partner too.
