Voice Therapy for Whatever it is that Ails You

   Wishful thinking follows. Or, perhaps it is no more than that.
   Let us call it Singing-voice therapy. Singing-voice therapy for colds and viruses, and for old age.
   And, for whatever it is that ails you.
   If you would recover from that flu, try singing-voice therapy. Here's how it works: Remember that old maxim -- Whatever the mind can conceive it can achieve? Well, that's where singing-voice therapy comes in. Remember that old situational that all the positive-thinking gurus taught -- Close your eyes and in your mind go to a tropical beach and all you anxieties will vanish away? Well, that's where singing-voice therapy comes in.
   Voice therapy. Singing-voice therapy.
  Just sit down with YouTube, pick a song -- preferably one requiring a mellow voice -- and try over and over and over to sing it well. Try to sing it without the congestion of your cold. Put your mind in the mood of the song, and let that mood take over.
   Seems to me, this doesn't work. I tried it just for a little bit, though not enough. Still, I hold out some hope in it and might try it some more. It might work for learning how to sing well. But, no, I don't think it can overcome the effects of a cold or whatever might ail you.
   Wishful thinking might live on in me. I might try it some more. But, in all likelihood, it won't work.
