Q:Â “Jennifer, when we as musicians are in the audience listening to a soloist, we know what to listen for. When you are the soloist what are you listening to?” (This was a question I was asked in a recent email.)
Me: “Good question! Everything, as much as possible! 🙂… with a primary focus on my unique experience in the moment, especially getting curious about the internal flow (easing) within me, and watching that as it changes.
Everything else is secondary. 🙂
This is a skill… and this is one of the most important things I teach.”
To be able to listen in a holistic way, free of judgment but full of discernment…
This requires clear intention, and the ability to get out of the way so that our creative intentions can be expressed / manifested through us freely with both technical precision and elevated emotion.
As artists, we become clear channels for our Creative Spirit to flow through, from the whole self – the True Heart – to the hearts of others.
To become a clear channel means clearing out the mental-emotional-physical “clutter” or “noise” that gets in the way.
We need to access the empty, fertile Void within, from whence springs Creative Life… from nothingness.
If you are caught up in your emotions, or you believe you need to DO something to make art, or that YOU – the ego-personality – is what needs to be expressed, then you'll only be forcing the process and adding in unnecessary tension, which muddies the waters and makes it harder for the lilies to grow.
If you don't know how to process your natural, human emotions, those emotions will get stuck, your progress will stagnate, and everything will become more difficult.
Your sound will be less resonant; your words won't flow; your poetry won't sing; your paintings won't convey light.
And you will keep on believing in the myth of the struggling artist, with life balance, personal and professional fulfillment, and relaxed happiness perpetually hiding itself from view.
Learn how to process your emotions quickly, with ease, and LET GO of what's getting in your way, and your art will do itself… through you… with the authentic essence of Who You Are.
As an artist, creative soul myself, one of my special gifts since childhood has been the ability to tap into inspiration, to “be musical”, and to process my emotions on my own so I could pour them into my music and uplift both myself and others in the process.
This is how I got to Carnegie Hall before the age of 10, and returned three more times over the years… and recently won yet another competition to perform there in recital.
This is how I produced my own solo violin CD during the pandemic and published a #1 Bestselling book soon after.
I've just created a new 21-Day self-study program for people new to my inspired, creative process, which is not just for musicians, not just for professional artists… but for EVERYONE who wants to tap into the Creative Spirit with ease and joy, for mutual upliftment during challenging times.
