What I was thinking and feeling felt so deep and important to me, but I felt perpetually unheard and misunderstood.
Speaking in public felt terrifying to me, whereas music was a safe language open to anyone's interpretation, which couldn't be misunderstood. As a result, I didn't speak much and I used my violin and music as my authentic voice, instead.
However, not being able to communicate verbally and feeling misunderstood much of the time was very painful.
To help myself feel better, I'd often retreat to my room after dinner, turn off the lights so that the only light keeping me from pitch darkness came from the streetlights outside… and I'd get out my violin and play.
I'd pour my heart out into that violin. My violin responded like a good friend: it listened and reflected my thoughts and emotions, and gave me great feedback on how I was feeling.
I processed many difficult emotions through my music, and J.S. Bach was always a favorite composer-friend, too. His music was sublime and passionate, yet it possessed a transcendent, healthy detachment that allowed me to “get into” things while also “rising above” them.
Somehow, I had an intuitive gift to be able to do this for myself, and I was also able to confidently share my music with others.
When I was 18, I learned the Ciaccona from the d minor Partita No. 2 for solo violin, and this piece has remained my go-to piece for self-healing ever since (you can hear my performance here).
Many of the women musicians I've coached over the years have had similar experiences of not feeling heard or understood, and of not being able to express themselves freely through speaking; and
I've been able to help them heal themselves by taking care of themselves first; and as a next step, to find more and more ease, joy, and confidence in communicating their Authentic Voice with others through their music, as well.
Sadly, it's all too common for women to experience feelings of smallness and insignificance, inadequacy, imposter syndrome, loneliness, and powerlessness – and to self-sabotage their potential as musicians because they don't have the understanding or the tools to rise above their conditioning, limiting beliefs, and negative thoughts.
In actuality, women in the West have more power, influence, and freedom than ever before. So, NOW is the time that we could be sharing the BEST of ourselves with the world – to aid in healing individuals and larger communities through music – more than ever!!!
As a musician, you know that music is a healing tool – both for individuals and society. But are you being able to make the most of your potential to help yourself and others through your music?
Do you have the knowledge and skills to be able to use music as a tool for self-actualization, so that you can bring your BEST to the world with consistent high performance and depth of heart-felt musical expression?
Are you able to fully process your own uncomfortable emotions both at home AND in performance, so that you can share the deep healing power of music with others, by daring to be open, vulnerable, and powerfully expressive of the depths of what's in your heart?
Or is there something deep down that keeps getting in your way so that you feel constantly frustrated by your performance, fundamentally blocked and unable to deliver onstage for others what you can do for yourself at home?
Do you know what's actually holding you back?
