I discovered as I was meditating during the "Singing Your Song" Process of last week's Vocal Meditation what I wanted more of to be more my authentic self. (See last week's blog). The words "Looking after yourself" kept popping up. After the VM I pondered on what that meant to me and if I was truly living it. I discovered that indeed I was not! I was very busy looking after everybody else's needs and not spending enough time on what I needed. Typical for this farm-girl from Manitoba!
Two areas that I needed to work on came up. The words "Spending more time with friends" and "Laughing" came up. So in that moment, I committed to myself in very small steps (like for the rest of that evening- to be re-examined and re-assessed the next day) to connect with someone that meant alot to me and to watch at least two "Têtes à claques" to please the little girl inside of me.
So I am proud to say that as a result I went bowling with friends, spent quality time with my husband, laughed at those silly Têtes à claques daily and gave myself a good dose of well-deserved joy in the process. What 30 minutes of looking inward gave to me was an oppurtunity to improve myself, to make my life richer which in turn had a positive effect on those around me!
So I invite you tommorrow night at 7 p.m. to come and open yourself up during the Vocal Meditation: to hear yourself through your own voice, to express yourself and be more yourself, all while listening to what your intuition tells you you need more of to be true to you!
If you are unable to attend (especially those who live a distance away) I invite to ask "How can I be more myself" and then take that time to listen to your singing voice (sing whatever syllables that come out) fully and completely in a quiet space, and notice what messages your voice sends to you. You will be amazed at what active listening can reveal, if you are aware and present.
We have added a background music (sometimes drumming sometimes just chords) to inspire you even further to "Sing Your Song" during the meditation.
Till tommorrow night then! I set the intention now that all of you out there (myself included) will get to know yourselves at a deeper level in order to truly live a more fulfilling life.
Namaste my friends and remember "Listen to Yourself, You know what's best for you!"
