One quiet morning, after a sudden pain in my throat the night before,
I discovered a deeper place for the voice to resonate—
not from the front of the throat,
but somewhere softer, deeper, near the chest and back.

In this episode,
I share a moment of discovering that hidden space of resonance,
and gently invite you to feel your own quiet voice within.

Hello,
Welcome to Whispers from the Kodama.
I'm nizuki Mai.

Today,
I want to share a quiet realization—
"The Morning I Found My Resonance."

Last night,
a sudden pain arose in my throat.
And this morning,
as if in response,
something gently awoke within me.

All this time,
my voice had come only from my throat,
from the shallow space at the front of my body.

But now,
I sense another path, deeper within—
a hidden place
somewhere between the softness of my chest
and the subtle curve of my collarbone,
leaning gently toward my back.

In this quiet, hidden space,
there is a passage
where my true voice waits—
not loud,
but gentle, steady, and clear.

It’s a voice
like leaves quietly trembling in a secret grove,
inviting someone passing by
to pause and softly listen.

Today,
I'm speaking from that quiet space.

If you'd like,
I invite you to close your eyes softly
and sense this quiet resonance
in your own body—
between your chest and back,
where your gentle voice
rests quietly,
waiting to be heard.

I believe
the kodama spirits are softly there, too,
listening, right beside you.

Whispers from the Kodama
is a quiet space
created by artist and writer nizuki Mai.
Through soft-spoken reflections, poetry,
and gentle moments of meditation,
this podcast invites you
into the Kodama world—
a place to listen deeply,
to feel gently,
and simply be.

Perfect for quiet evenings,
or those moments
when your soul needs a gentle breath of stillness.
