Recalling Art Forms

Staying awake to intuitive nudges can be as entertaining as enjoying a sports event or a classical musical concert, both of which can be full of synchronicities. Like other performing artists, I am inspired and motivated by repeatedly recalling art forms’ “Surprise!” intuitions relied on during musical performance.

Classically trained actors and concert instrumentalists and vocalists are deeply sensitive to their bodies’ creation of complex psychic harmonies transacted moment to moment during rehearsals and public performances. Synchronous experiences occur all the time once hours and hours, and months and months of training have taken hold in the body’s muscles and thought process. The human body can recall the training, at will, as well as depend on the intuitive for synchronicities that eventually appear to create a sensitive and well remembered performance.

Art forms when the performer begins training the body to meet the demands of the written musical score, the composer’s style, and the feelings that must be emoted.

Performing artists usually take for granted the infinite physical transactions orchestrated simultaneously and harmoniously within the body. How could we possibly monitor the billions of messages shooting throughout the body during training or performance? (Performers can’t help but notice the times when their bodies aren’t functioning nor responding as freely as during peak times.)

It’s through the continuous nanoseconds of intuitively recalling art forms that Planet Earth reveals to us and to itself the joyful passion captivated around and inside our physical movements. Whether puttering in the house, or building businesses, or in sports, everything imaginable or nearly imaginable is an exquisite spinning creation-performance.

Our bodies are fascinating! Uh-huh, I was groomed from childhood to perform piano in public places, so the following sensorial exercise isn’t new to me: it’s a matter of the heart and matters of art.

Imagine for a moment that you are about to perform a piano solo in public. You are dressed to the nines, and, in front of a paying audience, you briskly approach the nine-foot grand piano that’s been moved center stage; you feel the cushy wooden stage beneath the soles of your shoes. You seat yourself on the piano bench, take a deep breath, and rest your fingers upon the ivory keyboard while...

Your brain focuses on the heart pumping in your chest; you watch your wrists move up then down from relaxed arms and shoulders; your peripheral vision imagines the whole keyboard while you effortlessly allow the fingers to press the keys (hopefully playing all the right ones) at lightning speed while...

You feel the sturdy pedal under your right foot blend only certain sounds from the piano. You feel your left leg as it extends down to your left foot that comfortably balances the rest of your body while...

Your ears monitor every milli-second of piano sounds swirling into the air while...

Your brain and muscles together coordinate years of formal training of the memorized Mozart score while...

Your face and torso emote, moving to the music’s drama while...

You again notice your breath while...

You again notice your heart beat while...

You remember the next item for the grocery list while...

Your body monitors the stars. Yes, our bodies are made of star dust, and those cells cannot help but remember from where they came.

Do you now sense our hearts’ remarkable orchestrations of intentions? Aren’t bodies and brains and hearts absolutely astounding organs of invisible cosmic arteries?

We compassionate, imaginative, and observant Earthlings are waking to the profound elegance that is recalling art forms. Universe is sentient, and in its grandeur, silently fosters its wisdom within our physical hearts. It’s all so magnificent; we’ve hardly a clue.

Our constant curiosity is key
to watching what’s being created.
