Inspired Breath

By Yanna Volfinzon

In the last couple of month, during 2011 I have been playing together with Kuthumi Lal Singh. Most of the times during our breathing and channeling workshops, and some of the times in our own private space at home. Kuthumi is usually present with me when I sit near the piano, feeling and breathing enjoying to sense the new possibilities of creating something new , something different with me and my soul together with him.

My first creation actually, now that I’m writing was already with Kuthumi, “The new energy breath’ that was created by 4 shaumbra (Rupert Davis, Marisa Calvi, Vicky Gratz)
was inspired “big time” by Kuthumi.

I can honestly say that I do feel sometimes that it can go beyond anything I knew before, this passion for music, as not only once I could feel that my hands were moving with no clue or idea to what am I playing…and even with an amazing technique no matter how long I did not practice…My hands were running fast, and it almost felt like I was just watching myself from the side, wondering how the hell am I doing it? haha …It does bring your mind to wonder and ponder about our amazing potentials as divine-human beings.

I always felt that our potential is huge, and experienced some of it in my own reality. How brilliant our essence can be. Sometimes it felt like a great composer is sitting in side of me and creating all these melodies that I wonder at times, where are they coming from? This connection with your soul takes you to a different reality which can bring back memories and aspects of indeed times that you were a great composer or others who come to visit and like to play with me…it is such an adventure.

Of course it asks me to be completely in my feelings, in my letting go mood, trusting and allowing and especially Flowing…that’s is were it can really work! That is also where I met my challenge more than once, when the mind jumps in and stops everything with his logistic says…what is this??? …Than it suddenly all stops.

I never learned to compose before, and it’s important for me to mention that, because it is an adventure of discovery for me. I have never learned to play cords or even harmonics, but I did had my private classic piano lessons. That’s why I never considered myself to be a ‘normal” musician or sow it as a lack of experience and knowledge and felt a bit silly about it…but because of this, as soon as I’m sitting and playing, not knowing what will be the right combination of notes that will sound good together, I am on a big “risky” journey.

It’s one thing to write the wrong word in an article but playing something disharmonic can make you want to run away… well that’s how sensitive our human ear can be.

But I did take it further and experienced how it is to play without rules…Afterwards I listened only from my soul, not from my human ears and it did feel amazing. There was no sense of right or wrong but a new feeling that came “underneath” the notes and with that it is presenting something new. Mostly I choose to create harmonic or at least sweet and soothing sound for my ears…sometimes having the little bit of twist in them, as I like together with Kuthumi to play and invent new notes, which are new realities, new feelings and new potentials.
