14 Nov Flow- in staying out of our own way…
“If I can get out of my own way,
If I can be pure enough,
If I can be selfless enough
And if I can be generous and loving and caring enough
To abandon what I have and my own
Preconceived silly notions of what I think I am
And become truly who in fact I am
Which is really just a child of the Universe
Then the music/sound/voice/flow/movements can really use me
And here lies my fulfilment
That’s where the flow starts to happen”
J.McLaughlin
This was my personal objective/mantra/aim for the concert on Sunday…..How to stay out of my own way. It was a feat. A triumph on a deeply personal level. It was a true testament to my mental, emotional and physical wellbeing as well as a deep trust in all that is. From all accounts it was a success. I received beautiful feedback, and it felt good.
Using all the strategies I speak of with my clients, I entered into the space calm, with minimal adrenaline, resting more with the nestles of the parasympathetic nervous system than in the popularised pep up of “go get ’em”. I know I felt deeply connected to all that was around me, and felt definitively in the zone. I was connected to the breath, and to myself. I did not abandon myself once. I allowed myself to rest fully with my psyche, and the space I was residing in. The inner critic did not rear its ugly head, and the weight of judgement was nowhere to be seen within my heart. In that moment, I was completely blissed out, in love with all that was.
In this space, I know I could have resided for ever.
Thanks to all who came and supported me throughout my process. xx
