Sharing Your Creative Expression...Express Yourself!

Beautiful. I also heard the other tracks on the page. Amazingly creative, original, experimental and out of the box. I love how all the instruments come together and how your beautiful vocals blend with it. Inspiring!

Hi Open and Vimal,

Feeling such joy while reading your feedback!

Thank you 

Love this Soumya! I get the sense of nature sprites - or elemental beings. 🧚🏾‍♂️🧚🏾‍♂️🧚🏾‍♂️ How interesting the way my profile pic seems to mirror your art (through how I am perceiving it!)

Hi Soumya,

I love your art! Yes, the art really speaks, to me it always whispers something about creator of that art piece or the energy coming through that piece of art. I like the colours you've chosen, very fresh, spring-like, some yearning to resurrect. And yet there is a sense that some parts of self functioning separatelly from each other, some fragmentation but with very positive signs of a new fresh energy coming in, signs of aliveness and high potential for the growth.

The main thing is what the art says to our selves about ourselves, how we feel about what's expressed, what is the driving force to take the brush and paint it, do we know what energy we transmit with every piece of art. I'm sure you have a sense of it.

Thank you so much for sharing it 🙏💚💜🤍.

With love and appreciation 🌺

Hey Vimal,

Beautiful video!  

I resonate with the approach of not needing the answers to land, just being in the moment and allow whatever flows and feels right to happen. There is no need to figure anything out.

And at the same time, for me sometimes it is important not to abandon or throw away the inquiry itself. It is ok to stay with the questions themselves, without expectations, pressure or need for resolution. Just holding the questions softly, until the mud clears up and I unravel.

Also throwing away logic and relying on intuition only can be like walking with one leg. I tried this one  It's the right combination in every given moment that works like magic.

Thank you so much for inspiration

Hi Vimal,

That is some gorgeous scenery there!  I agree that having questions and trying to hurry or force them doesn't work.  It just blocks the answer from coming.  I'm learning to have the inquiry or question and then at some point the answer will arrive when I least expect it.  Many times it comes in my sleep at night when my mind is most quiet.  I'll wake up and suddenly the answer is there.  It always amazes me how that happens.  There is much wisdom in your words in this video.

Your videos are really awesome.  Thank you for sharing

Thanks, Yulia, Sherri, Andy and Open for your lovely feedback.

Yulia - I have gained a lot from your sharing here in OH especially during my initial years here. Thank you for all your inquiries. As you rightly say, there is no need to figure anything out yet, and inquiry is a fundamental quality we can have. I think more and more, I'm realizing that it's the inquiry itself why we came here. It's that which creates the life around. Hence, wanting to figure out the questions and have the answers always derails us. There will always be another question. I like what you said—throwing away logic and relying just on intuition can be like walking with one leg. Yes, especially when we have a strong intellect. Why not express that?!

Sherri - Some of the places in India, especially the Himalayas, are breathtakingly beautiful.

Andy - The place is Plachak valley near Dharamshala, India. I will be your guide when you visit India! :D

Open - I'm sure you know exactly what I'm saying. The composition just happens. There was no intention to make this particular video while filming. There was no intention for the scenes to appear where they are. Yet somehow it clicks into place when I'm not forcing it to be a particular way. I think you offered a significant key in the last ascension exchange. How to blend discipline with creativity. I think that's something that was missing in my creative approach. Thankyou.

Thank you for sharing your poem. Absolutely beautiful! ❤️

Yulia

Felt to add to my sharing that I recall clearly this poem landed after one of my breakthroughs as I was taking nearly every Openhand retreat at that time to liberate myself from distortions and find out who I really am. It was when I felt I have broke free from various identities and completely let go of what I thought I was. Remember sitting in my bed in the morning in such a lightweight emptiness and those words "bubbling" out of nowhere and just my hand wrote them down. But it didn't even feel that is me who is writing this poem, I didn't even know this is going to be a poem...

I'm still pondering with this question within - who is really creating? And I can reflect on the same feeling times and times again when looking into nearly every piece of my work that I am keeping as a "small art" - there was no identification at that very moment when it is being made, whatever that is - a poem, a drawing, a painting, my designed and hand made clothes,  jewellery, photo, video. When I am taking photos or filming was asking myself many times - why I have to photograph it? Can't I just enjoy it by simply watching? Yes, I can. But there is a tiny bit different feeling when  looking through the lense of the camera, as if my focus is sharpening onto some particular vibration which I feel within me and there is the snapshot of it taken in the moment of being IN THAT vibration. I would try describing it as the snapshot of the subtle feeling of the soul frequencies resonating with this particular moment when this bird is sitting in a particular position and light with the particular colours in the background, as an example of this photo just shared above. And so "I feel the bird - I am a bird..."

I don't know if that makes any sense of what just said. Would love to know how other people feeling when they're creating! Please do share 🙏

From loving heart
