What relaxation for musicians and non-musicians brings about
Relaxation is all about balance and constant adjustment between tension and physical and mental release.
It requires:
– SELF AWARENESS, i.e. being able to acknowledge what you are experiencing at any given time
– CARE AND KINDNESS, i.e. choosing those paths that lead to greater harmony
– JOYFUL APPRECIATION towards the teachings you have gained from any challenges encountered
– COMMITMENT AND COURAGE to keep on expressing your skills and abilities
Stress and tension are part of our life. But something interesting happens when you relax in awareness: stress itself provides you the necessary energy rather than destroy you.
