GETTING TO THE CORE OF IT ~ my personal keys
"Always remember that when you started working, that there was something inside yourself that you felt, that if you could manifest it in some way, you would understand more about yourself, how you co-exist with the rest of society"
~ David Bowie
I mirror myself in these words and the spirit behind. Every time an emerging experience of my core (maybe showing as an image, a parable, a personal myth) has landed in me, it immediately made me feel equally part of the everyday life of a human race, so apparently alike and yet diversely designed.
The words also inspired me to listen into my own essential drive.
This was what came through..
"my optimal experience is to touch that power that hits the note you didn't know you had in you. that erases time and age and ego and keep you knowing the force is real. more real than this reality"
One of the things I love the most is to stand in the circle, let the words and energies from the subtleties in and beyond me, flow through my body and heart into the expression ~ creating me, creating the moment, creating something that wouldn't otherwise come into being
~ feeling it uplifting, expanding my field of clarity ~ envisioning it mingle with the shared field of today's constellation of people and the dimensions beyond.
It is a flow through words, vocal sound, movement of my body parts, dancing with the energies available.
With my inherited and inherent intention, I trust that what emerges is in accordance with the purpose that is within me, in this skin, on this planet, at this time.
ENERGY is my vehicle..
How I perceive and sense 'meaning' is when I sense it in my energy field as doing something 'right' to me ~ to the situation I'm in, to the greater fields of existence.
When expressed through me, it comes from embodying the feelings, the stories of my process, or what's in the air at this moment. Intuition being fed by what others bring to the circle.
Having a history within the performing grassroot arts (poetic/cosmic clowning, vocal sound and body energyflow), I still feel for expressions in that field, but also feel a pull towards the forming arts and their radiance ~ searching into the heart of matter, without the ambition of the artist, with the surrendering, non-performing energy of the magician.
In my creative expression I've always been engaged in the synergy between therapy (my own thoughts and feelings being processed) ~ energy awareness (healing and transforming powers) ~ and their influence on the outcome ~ the artistic outcome (sometimes that is cooking a meal, it could be some kind of energetic/spiritual articism through a happening or a street performance)
These three elements (mainly the first two), too are central to the space I here call you to.
