Yesterday morning I had a class with an amazing new voice teacher who is helping me in the most subtle and massive ways. Breathing, who knew? I have been controlling the impulse through controlling my breath. In some sense, I have been working too hard. The expiration, the expression is the release, there is no need to control. The inspiration, inhalation is where new information is received. Incredible. I am learning how my diaphragm (no not that kind) works, and how big my lungs and my ribcage are. I am learning that I have been using less than a quarter of my power.
Susan, my teacher, spoke about noticing what is new, exciting and different while working. Sometimes I come from a place of what isn’t working, focusing on fixing what's broken. Such a beautiful and simple change, giving my first thoughts and air to what is new, exciting and different.
Later in the day yesterday, I found myself in a conflict. It's certainly never fun to be in conflict, but the new thing that happened is when it was over and I had a moment alone, I cried, allowing my breath to release the feeling. The exciting thing is that I feel stronger than ever. The different thing, is that I am loving myself in a deeper way and am steeped in gratitude for the amazing life I have and the love that surrounds me always.
