I just read a pretty inspiring post by Patricia Kennedy titled Playing From The Heart , and found myself actually "inspired" by her post, and my own thoughts and reaction to that post... so I thought I just might continue my thoughts and share them with you tonight.
Her post was just an awesome and inspiring post. It was about Pat playing a Bach flute sonata some years ago. She was told her performance was great, and someone remarked that she was "playing from the heart."
Some people may not be affected by such "matters of the heart"... but for some others... having your efforts come straight from your heart definitely "informs" what you are doing with a purity and a munificence that really can make your performance special... whether as a flautist, a Realtor, or as just "you being you."
When the "juices are flowing..." magic can happen. What's more... performing from the heart can, and does inspire others around you to do the same.
The word "inspire"... could be broken down to performing "in spirit." And... depending on what performing "in spirit" may mean to you... of course it can be a great performance! But... it can also be, and continue to be, much, much more.
Pat mentioned others "reacting to your energy." If you think of energy as a force, which of course, it is... the effect it can have is very real, and very noticeable. This feeling, and this "ability"... is something we need to keep well within our awareness. But... we can only keep it within our awareness if we ourselves are open to it. We need to know that we can affect others... simply by being our best version of ourselves.
When someone does anything "from the heart"... the energy given off by that performance is actually an energy that is just like many other forms of energy.
Just as the light from a light bulb can flow into a space that beforehand was simply "darkness..." the energy from action performed "in spirit"... "from the heart..." can and does "flow" outward, and has the innate ability... simply because of the fact that it is it's own form of "pure energy..." to light up those with whom it comes into contact.
Patricia... the energy that emanated "from your heart" continues to produce effects... just as it has done tonight with me. Thanks so much for sharing your energy :)
