There are so many things that I like, so many things that I enjoy and that make me a complete being. I could last all day talking to you about it... reading and sharing what I learn, after having put it into practice, spaces where the word is a vital guide to lead to commitment and action such as talks, workshops, coaching and I think that if I delve into my tastes I can realize that beyond sharing, what I am passionate about is exchanging different points of view because it is a way where I can also learn.
In this learning process, everything around me is full of information, I watch conferences on the Internet and it is like reading a book with the added value of having almost all my senses activated to receive the message, seeing the person who speaks of some way it transmits me something more than what I hear and that connection is powerful or at least that's how I perceive it.
On the other hand, there are also the face-to-face workshops that I attend as a participant and although sometimes my human condition leads me to compare what I hear with what I know, I am always open to reconsidering my beliefs and lastly, music, specifically the secular songs that we listen to, that is also a means of learning where its melody and its words somehow generate an influence, a meaning, a message for me and it requires the interpretation that I want to give to all of that.
The common point of my ways of learning is that I am always receiving or transmitting through the word, so through it I can interpret, express or transmit my life and everything that surrounds me in the same way that others can. do the same process with me knowing that these interpretations are based on our experiences and beliefs and that it is unique for each one and it is where I affirm that the powerful thing about all this dynamic is to understand, love and accept that we all see the world differently and that it is to live in harmony and in authenticity.
The music
Music now is something very different for me, when I refer to it, it is just the sound of the melody, without lyrics, especially with instruments.. close your eyes for a moment and imagine the sound of a drum, flute, percussion, guitar... Just closing my eyes with you while I write these words makes me transport myself to another space, a space where there is no meaning, only the present moment and perhaps it is deeper than that, it is not the instrumental music of which you know the lyrics and they are loaded with emotion and interpretation, but the music that is not planned, that is not produced, that perhaps you do not know… we could go to the other The side of the coin where the spontaneous is, the creative, the music that comes from the heart, that unique music that is unlike any other, that began to exist the moment you began to create it because you flowed.
That music of the heart for me has its language, but a language without words, and in this way there is no possibility of interpreting anything. When you listen to it, it is a communication from heart to heart, from soul to soul, in total silence, even if you are listening to the sound of music, you will see that you can experience silence.
This space for me is the present, the now, because your mind does not have to look for reference to anything, and you know that our references are in the past, you are not even thinking about anything, you are just enjoying another means of communication and you know that you can until you answer it, that is, sometimes you hear that type of melody and you start singing, but no words come out, only sound or tears, or suddenly you start dancing, that for me is communicating in another way, without words.
Those moments for me are magical and unique and within that space, music has taught me humility, it has taught me that sometimes you don't have to talk much, what's more, you don't even have to talk, rather listen and share what my heart and my soul have to say… It is like being an instrument and channel and letting God speak through me, a space where I shut up and let him express himself from the depths of my BEING and when I tell you God put the name you want, Universe, Your divinity, The Great Spirit, it doesn't matter... that so great and so sublime that is the source of everything.
Almost all words are loaded with meaning and interpretations according to the social, cultural context, etc. the language of the heart is direct, so direct that you feel at once how your emotional body lights up, like the love that radiates from it.
Humility
And why do I tell you that I learned humility? It's because I learned to recognize that there are wiser than me, that I don't know everything, that it doesn't always have to be me, me, me, me, and also always in my own way, just how I know how to do it or how I feel comfortable doing it. … and experience sharing in silence and letting only the heart speak, and trusting that what should come will come to who should come. And obviously to me first is the most powerful, I am less "me" and more my authentic being that expresses itself from the heart and in this way experience that the most important thing is not the messenger, it is the MESSAGE.
I had a vision in which I saw myself on a stage, in a room alone, being there without speaking for a long time, and then playing the flute, and then again without speaking... Flowing... And I don't deny that I was scared at first because there were a lot of people and they said oh my! but I have to say something, so many people in this room, it is not possible for me to remain silent… What are they going to think? they are going to leave, they will no longer return to an event of mine, my reputation, ect… Fear everywhere.
In the end I understood that he was giving me a great learning, it was to accept that what I know is limited, that there is a wisdom beyond what I know and accept to shut up so that it can be expressed through me.
And you know what? I accepted it, I put it into practice!! Sometimes it's not easy, but every time I experience it, I experience incredible power. It empowers me and makes me trust more, not in myself, not in a limited vision, but in HIM
I learned to enjoy the trip, learning and transmitting at the same time.
That for me is humility, putting myself aside and letting God use me.
So I promise to use the melody of silence and my heart, more and more, and spread that language of love, for myself and the human beings that I can reach.
And I invite you to play your melody, with instruments, dancing, singing, silently connecting with the eyes of your partner, your children, friends.
Discover the message that is for you in your heart.
Love you.
