Evaluate My Work, Dec 2’08

Posted on Dec 3rd, 2008 by Aphinya : Mindful Being Aphinya

Today I feel a strong sense of confusion and nervousness. Compulsive thoughts are exploding with negative messages. Great, the journey to the greatness is full of challenges. The story in my head is like, I don’t get the attention I need, and I shouldn’t be here, no one listen to me, I am no one. Damn!! What the heck are these all about?

Ok, when I am in fully awareness with my situation, I actually have nothing to complain about. I have made a commitment to be with the Work and I have all the time that is needed for me to do everything I have to do right now. Beside this most important journey, I also have places to go for dancing, yoga, and exercising when I need to. I have time to cook my own delicious and healthy food which I want it to. I am in the relationship that is so supportive for my practice since I can have all time and spaces. So knock, knock..stop complaining, won’t you? :)

I really like the preciseness of the voice in my practice today. It felt mature and honor. However, it can be a little bit more intimate. The consistent of my conscious Loving breath still needs a lot of work. I believe that I just have to remember it over and over and over again until it will automatically be a part of me. Plus the deeper listening will eventually come right along with my conscious loving breath. Even though I can’t see all the words I say yet, but I can feel some of the words very strongly since I focus hard to release the emotion into the words. I am happy with it, but I have to remind myself not to get carry on into the emotional of the words; I have to consciously connect to every step of the speech.

By listening to my practice today, I finally sensed first hand what it meant when Arthur shared with me one important insight. First I have to say that I agree with him that vocal awareness is about energy. And while we speak, the energy is carried through and that what people connect with. That is why we create the term “It isn’t what you say, it’s how you say it.” That is also why when people sing or listen to the music they move in a certain way. It is because of the energy behind it. Cool!! So, Arthur told me that if we are really conscious in the energy of the words we say, we can speak at the best potential that words will allow energy to channel out smoothly and powerful. Next to know that people will response intensively to it since the energy connects and moves energy. That is the coolest thing that I never hear from anyone before, and it feels fit right in. Oh oh oh!! I have work to do.

I have remembered it again

Posted on Dec 12th, 2008 by Aphinya : Mindful Being Aphinya

Christmas OrnamentToday was one of those days that a situation was bring back a good memory of something that I have known for a long time. But I forgot when times have passed since other things will come in and take away my attention. I wish I don’t forget any wisdom I have learned or anything I have once valued dearly. I hope they can just pop in my mind immediately without my effort.

The reality is as human beings we forget things. Time normally washes away anything from our memory no matter how intensely we once are engaged. However, we may be lucky that some situations may able to re-establish that same memories and allow us to feel great meaning of them again and that what happened to me today.

I didn’t have good sleep in the last 3-4 nights, so when I woke up I felt awfully tired. My body couldn’t function properly; my eyes were burning and felt very heavy. My brain felt very heavy and closed up. I had breakfast, and felt the need of having more, so I ate twice as much as I normally did. My throat felt dried and a little soar, and on top of that I felt dehydrated, so I drank a lot of water. Then, when nothing could lift up my energy, I decided to lie down. While I was resting, I focused on claming my mind and breathed even more lovingly and slowly. I had been doing it for 45 minutes before I got up. I felt a little better, but my energy still felt low and weak, so I rested and focused on my mind and my breath again. I didn’t remember how long I rested, but after the second round of relaxing I woke up completely rejuvenated.

After I was filled up with a full tank of freshness and liveliness, I went to my vocal awareness studio and did my practice right away. Wow!! My senses were so full of live. They are vivid and in motion. I felt the vibration of the sound, the connection of mind/ body/spirit, and I felt energy flew in (deep) and out so strongly. Also, my voice had more color and juice, and while I practiced I could get into the different pitch easier. I was thrill with the experience, and remembered all over again about the benefit of good night sleep. A simple thing, but is yet very powerful!!!
