Creating to music.
Creating to music is not my genius idea or anything new. We almost always listen to something in the background while cooking, creating or eating, but this time, I would like to invite to listen fully, with understanding, and move to the music, feeling every single bit.
Music can influence every single move, if there are words in the music you chose, you might want to add them to the art work too, if it feels right.
Don't be afraid of what might come up for you,
Create for the feeling not the end result,
Create for few minutes just with yourself and for yourself,
Create without judgment or expectation,
Because you are worthy and enough right now, no matter the end result.
For me as an artist, it was a challenge too as I always create in silence, that's easier for me to find new ideas and I find this unique peace in silence. At first I was focusing on the canvas, and on what is appearing in front of my eyes, but then when I was more and more into it, I dropped all of the expectations that were forming in my head and started to REALLY feel the music, the sound, how it made me feel, how I hold a paintbrush, how I move, everything was so important, there were things I have never noticed before, because I was so engaged with the image itself. The way I am standing or the way I move the fingers with the paint, the texture of the paint, the temperature, how colours mixed together made me feel.
It was also such a healing, cleansing experience as I was not in the best mood while doing it. After the exercise I left more light, ready to face the rest of the day.
