What happens if you just let your hand (or voice, or foot, or whatever part of you is doing the actual creating) take control? As if it were a horse you were riding, and you just let go of the reins?
Have you ever tried that?
If you’ve been trained in most “classical” traditions, this is SCARY! And utterly contrary to what you’re probably used to.
It’s at the heart of improvisation, though. And at the heart of my own Creative Sandbox practice, because it’s what PLAY is all about. The kind of play you used to do when you were two years old.
No concerns about doing it “right” or living up to some standards of excellence or perfection–just GO!
What emerges is not always beautiful (though sometimes it may astonish you with its beauty). The outcome of each individual creation is not important.
Over time, though, what you will discover in a body of work created in this fashion will likely teach you more about yourself and your voice than you ever thought possible.
Small, daily acts. Tiny and daily. Add enough of them together and it will change the course of your life.
