This is my next step in freeing my voice
Part of my own journey in freeing my own voice is learning to see myself equally as facilitator and as a musician.
And, at the moment I am re-doing #theartistsway , a course in creativity by Julia Cameron.
I have a vision of myself where I am a prolific artist, writing regularly because I know how much it fuels me and makes me feel whole.
In this vision, you can listen to me on Spotify, and people regularly come to my voice courses and retreats because my music stirred something in their soul.
There’s a part of me that’s waiting, and that’s why this vision has remained something only in my imagination, a beautiful future that will finally be my reality when I am Good Enough.
It is my someday, for when I am finally writing great music.
So I share my songs only sometimes, in places that feel really safe.
And I don’t write very often because I’m scared I’ll write something shit.
And I wait.
This waiting part of me is challenged by The Artist’s Way. Really, it is not only a course in creativity but a course in spirituality.
It asks me to make affirmations like “I am a channel for God’s creativity, and my work comes to good” and “As I listen to the great creator within, I am led”. And “Great Creator, I’ll take care of the quantity – you take care of the quality”.
What do I believe?
I believe that I can choose to believe what is most useful to me.
And this belief becomes a chance to let go of the inner critic, the concept of Good Enough.
My question can become “who am I to judge what the Great Creator sends through me?”
And so the waiting part of me has nothing to do but just get out of the way. You take care of the quality, I’ll take care of the quantity.
I’m inspired by a forest-walk talk with Fanny Norlin, a marketing witch who talked to me about the new paradigm shift in marketing towards authenticity and why it's great for creative people. (Check her upcoming webinar)
Surely, the best marketing for my credibility as a facilitator is the sharing of these acts of creation?
That I can simply, authentically, take you on this journey with me.
Starting from Here, where I am right now.
My name is Kim Gajraj, I am a musician, and I am daring more and more to express myself creatively and to share my music with you.
And I’m only just ready to really, really start to do that and to say that to you.
And that is OK.
Oh yeah and I also write poems.
And so, I will start sharing these creations with you. I have now added a new page to my website where you can watch videos of my songs, raps, poetry and improvisations.
I intend for it to be a kind of music blog: you can scroll through the gallery of videos and click to read more about the songs here on the blog.
Watch me rap and read why I love it >
